Some diicuffion was had, when the American officer departed, unoer an expectation, or a promtie that the man (bould not be removed ■until the affair could be represented to -commodore Decatur. While theoffi. cer was on board the CheUpeake wait ting the orders of commodore i) eaiur, ami for a letter which lie was then wri ting it) the French commander, the Pauioi’s boat palled tvnh die teaman in queflion on board, upon which or ,ders pere ifl.ied by the commodore, to man one of die Chefapcake’s boats, and putfue ihe Ftench boat, with or ders to his officer to endeavour to pre va'l on the French officer to return and come aiougfide the Chefapeakc, hut to bring ttui defcTter back at all events.

We underhand that both officer adhered, the one in refilling, and the other insisting, the result however is,, that the rnan was taken and carried on hoard the Chesapeake, where be now remains until 1h e p lea fu re o t gov er Q merit shall be known.
