From the Evening Post of
Peace Prospects— A letter from
Washington this morning from high
authority-, informs that the late dis
patches from oilr agents in Europe,
do not warrant the National Intelli
gencer in his,yesterday’s publication,
impress upou the
public mind that our prospects of
peace look gloomy. On the contrary
ve fed-justitied in stating that those
dispatches inform the government
„ tb a t Mr. Crawford had met Lord
Castlefeagh at the house of ohe of
the 1’ each ministers ; that in the
course of the interview, Lord Castle
reagh satisfactorily explained the,
cause of the apparent delay on the
paA of the British government to
appoint commissioners to meet ours
at Gotteiibnrg, lamented the place
fixed had not been at London or at
the Hague, as it would have much
facilitated the proposed negotiation.

that the late dispatches were not of
an unfavorable nature, and that it is
believed by persons of information
at Washington, that our commissi-

differences. Wc would not wish
the public to seize this with too
much avidity——neither do we wish
them to pass it by unregarded.

ships were to leeward, to the!
report of Lieut. Maurv, who was Hs*
entrusted Wi h an expedition to effect this esd
We were much surprised at about half past
6 to see both ships Close to the weather point
of the bay; they stood within the Point,
tsuiked and stood but again; at noon the wind
freshened at S. S. W. and increased to a strong
gale—struck royal yards and masts.; At 45
minutes past 2, parted the larijoatfl cable
which caused us to drag the starboard anchor.
Capt. Porter hailed the Essex Jun: to send
her boat, to take Mr. Poinsetce, the Ameri*
t»n consul on shore. Immediately
left us, capt. Porter gave orders to cut the ca
ble, which was dcyie, and sail made on the
ship ; the enemy’s-ships were at this time*
standing for the port. On lulling round the
.point of Angels a heavy squall struck us, wnicii
carried away our maintop-mast by the lower
cap, two men Sam’l Miller and Th. Brown,
fell overboard and were drowned, as we sup
pose ; the ship wore and hauled to wind on
the starboard rack, and orders given to clear
the wreck; the main-sail and main-top-sail
were cut away from the yards, so as to not to
Act against us in working into the bay. Capt.
Porter finding it impossible, to gain our for
mer anchorage, concluded to bear up for a
small bay situated on the western side of the,
hardor. At 45 minutes past 3 came up with
the%esr bower in 9 and a half fathoms water
and in half pistol shot of the shore. The
western fort [Castello Viego] bore E. by N.
distant 3 miles ; the eastern fort [or Castello
jdef Barren] bore S. W. by*W. distance about
one and a half miles* This fort was not in
in* sight, as we were anchoring under a high
bluiF that screened us from it. There was a
dong 24 pounder detached from it on a rising
to .the N. E. distant 1-2 a mile, and conse
quently so much nearer to where we anchor
ed In this situation we considered ourselves
perfectly secure Capt. P. gave orders to
clear the ship for action, although he did not,
I believe, entertain an idea that the enemy
would attack him. At 55 minutes past 3,
the Phoebe commenced firing on Our larboard
quarter, and at 4 the Cherub commenced tir
ing on our starboard bow In about an hour
they wore round and stood out o repay da
mages. ThejK appeared much cut in their
rigging, their top sail sheets Hying away.—
In this interval we got the third spring on the
cable,, the two first being shot away as soon as
put on They soon returned and took their
position out of reach of our short guns,- and
opened a most galling fi.e upon us ; the wind
shifting about this time, cap;. P determined
tolaytne Phoebe aboard; the cab.e was ac
cordingly cut, but the only hailliards standing
were those of the flying jib, this -ail was part
ly hoisted, but not sufficient to wear ihe ship
off—we were now in a most dreadful situa
tion, as the enemy bulled us every shot, and
outbrave fellows falling w every direction, but
we were all so animated by the brave, coot,
and intrepid conduct of our heroic command
er, that every man appeared determined to
sacrifice his life in defence of out SHIP, and
of FREE TRADE RIGH I S,
for which they were continually huzzaing
fore and aft, but an unlucky accident took
place which frustrated all our hopes, to wit:
the explosion of seme loose cartridges in the
main hatchway, which caused a general con
sternation among the crew, the greatest part
of whom jumped overboard Capt. Porter
seeing now no hopes left, gave orders to fire
the ship ; but humanely considering that ma».
ny of hia brave companions were King woun
dea below, he countermanded thii order and
gavt the painful one to lower our ensign which
was executed precisely a; haif past six ; the
enemy did not cease firing for vome minutes
atterwards. During his in ervalsome of our
merf were wounded and four shot dead—thus
fell the Essex into the hands of the English
after a resistance worthy the cause which ani
mated us. ‘ </
Smce the action I have been informed by
the Ist liciit of Marines of the Phoebe ( Mr.
Burrows)*that they passed those two unfortu
nate men on our Life Buoy, which had been
thrown over to them and left them to perish
in the waves, without endeavoring to afford
them the least assistance. ‘

j During the action the Essex Junior lay in
; the port in Valparaiso under the guns of a
? Spanish Fort, unableto take any part of the
contests. After«the action Capt. Porter and
* his crew were paroled, and by arrangement
\ permitted to come home in the Essex Junior
tas a cartel with his crew. Olf the Hook
they were detained 24 hours by the British
Razee Saturnc in company with the frigate
Narcissus. Capt. Porter left the Essex Jun
ioryesterday afternoon in one of her yawls
with 6 men, about 30 miles out side of the
Hook, and landed this morning at Babylon on
Long-Island, were he procured a Waggon,
took onboard his yawl and jolly tars and reach
ed Brooklyn about 5 o’clock rhisaftemoon.
We understand the Essex had landed all
her specie, amounting to TWO MILLIONS,
at Valparaiso, previous to her being eaptored.
The brig Colt, formerly of this port, which
was sold tp* the Patriots and fitted out by
them at Chili, had on board 25 Americans-

the frigate a little separated from and to’
windward of her consort, and* supposing this
was a challenge, we immediately went out to
hffn her; but the cowards immediately ran
for the sloop, and then hove about anti stood
af er us together, until we returned to anchor
We were now convinced we couid outsail
them-; therefore prepared for sea with an
intention to run from them unless one would
come at a time.
“ March 23th, being ready for sea, and
•* fresh gale, we put to sea, intending
them a chase fight until we could get
out of their shot: but in doubling round the
print of the bay,* a heavy squall struck us,
carried away our maintop mast, and drowned
several men. We immediately put about ship
and stood in again ; but, in consequence of
the loss of our mast, we could not reach our
old anchorage. We came to anchor in ano
ther bay under cover of the guns of the fort.
‘‘ Being in a neutral port, we supposed our
selves secure from an attack ; and therefore
began to clear away the wreck, as our mast
sail hung over the side. But the two English
ships came in & Attacked us in this distress &
confusion. They lay off at a distance under our
stern, St raked us every shot We had only 2
guns out of the stern that would reach them.
Our carronades did not carry more than half
t£ay. The long guns were so well-worked as
to make botlv the enemy’s vessels haul off &,
repair, but they returned soon to the attack.
Our gallant crew stimulated by the determined
and judicious conduct of our valiant captAin,
stood the slaughter with unparrelleled bra
very. The engagement lasted two hours and
twenty five minutes. Our cables were cut
away & no sail could be set, as all that were
not entangled by the broken mast had their
halyards shot away
* ** Our ship caught fire several times and one
or two violent explosions took place; but the
undaunted Yankees suffered nothing to dis
courage ihem, until our powder grew short.
At the surrender of our ship we had only 2
or 3 kegs of damaged powder on board j
fifteen or twenty of were shot away
or disabled, and only <so of our men well and

killed and wounded. ‘The wardroom, cock

20 men-so badly byrnt that Bof them died ,
shortly afterwards.’
“ March 30 and 3lst, removed all the
w >unded and sick to quarters on shore and
all the officers went on parole. April 27'th,

Nothing can be more curious than the ac
counts we daily hear of what passed at the sit
tings of the council of state over which Bon
aparte presided. Sometimes He affected a
kind of good nature, (bon homir.ie,) given am
ple liberty to then discussions, and even pro
voking the utterance of sentiments directly
the reverse of his own ; but it was only in
trifling matters that he authorised so much
boldness. If measures connected with the
religion, the conscription, or the haute-police
were under discussion, his physiognomy be
came sombre and ferocious; his voice emit
tedhoarse &. cavernous sounds terrifying every
person—and »u»d silence which en
sued was only interrupted by short and hasty
sentences always of a singular and extraor
dinary nature,* and which fell from him at
broken intervals He was like the Pythenissa
die wing the oracle from the . tripod.—When
the meering broke up, the base and servile flat
terers, of whom he always nominated abun
dance to fill his various councils, exclaimed
—“ Surely this is not a man but a God who
has addressed us !” The few men of integ
rity and wisdom whom he employed were of
course silent.
After the dreadful reverses in Saxony , in
1813, he returned to Paris on the 9th of No
vember—and on the 11th he held a council of
state. One of those present, (baron de TANARUS.)
who took minutes of the proceedings, has
transmitted to us the following details, for
the accuracy of which we pledge ourselves:
** Impatient to see what kind of. face the
emperor wore after his disasters, thQflnerpbers
of the council crowded into the saloon adjoin
ing the council chamber To'avoid in some
measure the embarrassment of a first inter
view, the emperor abruptly sent for the go
vernor of the bank to come to him first: he
bitterly exclaimed against the wise measures
which’, at a critical moment, had saved this
national establishment, and secured the pub
lic credit; he spoke half an hour, without giv
ing the governor time to put in a single word s
he ran round the same circle of ideas three or
four limes, without even changing the lan
guage, employing ridiculous images, and very
often»the most galling expressions of scorn
contempt.
“ When Bonap ;rte had done speaking, the
doors of the council chamber were o
pen, and the sittings commenced by the rea
ding of a decree “of finance, under the imperi
al authority, setting aside the sanction of the
legislative body, which was nevertheless con
voked for the 2d Dec. He required, by this
decree, nothing less than an augmentation of
one half on the contributions. The decree
passed without any direct opposition to its
principle, and merely after a desultory discas
fi’ton, in the course of which the emperor utter
ed various contradictory and absurd opinions
The contribution (he said, among other
things) has no bounds; it presents, generally,
the idea of one fifth, but it may, according.)
to the urgency of circumstances, be raised to
one fourth, one third, one half, See. No !
the contribution has no limits l If there are
any laws which declare the contrary, they are
bad laws.” ’*
“ After this decree, the project of a sena
tus consultum was read for placing at the dis
posal of she minister of war, 300,000 men,
* so be taken from the old conscriptions, alrea
dy solemnly ‘liberated and exhausted. The

FitKjtts, April 29.
It appears that Bonaparte has been
greatly 1 alarmed at the different
scenes which the just indignation of
the inhabitants of the South has caus
ed him to experience in many places.
On quitting Orgeon where he con
sidered himself as lost, he took the
resolution of changing his carriage,
his name and his dress, in order to
escape the danger which became ev
ery moment more menacing; he
iiaotity gamed our port; and has ar
rived here in the dress of an Austri
an officer, enveloped in a Russian pe
lisse, and on hishead a Prussian cap,
ornamented with a large white cock
ade. In this-strange accoutrement it
was impossible to discover him.* Be
sides tliisj he had along white beard,
his eyes sunk, gnd a disturbed air ;
he was lnmself anxious to: depart; .
he wished to make but one leap from
the carriage to tlie frigate which was
to transport him to the isle of Eiba.
He finally embarked at Saint Ra
pheau , but it is fared that the in
habitants of the isle of Elba are not
very eager to receive him.’ It is said
that considerable fermentation pre
vails in the island upon the subject.
The inhabitants still recollect that
they were the first islanders on the
coast of Italy invaded by Bonaparte,
and are unconscious of having given
a reason for this unjust aggression.
TORNADOES.
I communicate the following chief
ly on account of one or two 1 circum
stances attending these phenomena
of nature, which I do not recollect to
have noticed in any description I have
seen ;
Two passed in this vicinity on Sa
turday” last, attended with their usu
al destructive effects upon the timber,
and razed the few buildings in their
course to their foundations, destroy
ing fences, corn, &c. In crossing
the river, the water was taken
out, and fish of# every description
were thrown and left upon the land.
The lower end of ¥V abash island is
desolated. On passing the river
there, it took the strong house of
capt. Casey entirely down, ands sad
to relate ) killed two men and the
wife of one of them, and wounded
three others. Casey had removed a
way- One of them killed, was of the
name of Culver—What further da
mage was done we have not yet
heard. The broken branches of trees
continue still to float by us in the
river. The course of the two were
nearly parallel and simultaneous, a
bout ‘ 5 or 20 miles apart, proceeding
from S. W. to N. E* One passed ,
through the prairies on Little Wa
bash, and was beyond our sight.—
The other passed in plain view* dis
tant, on the first appearauce, ftoOti
3or 4 miles, and from the levcincss
of the country, *%as visible for many
leagues in its progress.-w-Its shape
was much like that of a lone, or a
sugar loaf, with the small end down
wards, or rathe? like a speaking
trumpet, its upper part flaring consi
derably as it joined the cloud above.
It was as black as pitch, anti appeared
; to burn like that substance over a fur*,
nace. The cloud above was.
very dark. Thf extent fit the bot
tom of the tornadoes has been asc»r
\taiuecl to have been between half a
mile and r* mile. A singular rir—
ctfm*tnm-e. observed by myself ancf
others who \vwe within Haifa mile*
was this—llrat the most vivid flashes
of lightning were seen to %ass be
tween the heavens ancle -.ft!, in quick
succession, just, in ‘front and rear,
and sometimes through the body of
the tornado (or perheps around it in
a line from rt to our eyes, and still
no peals of thunder wetc heard front
* them—l do not think 1 ever saw so
broad and vftid flashes before in my
life. Indeed I never before had s»
deliberate and fair a,view of a phe
nomenon of nature.
U has occurred to me, Sc I submit
it to philosophers to decide, whether
the extieme velocity of the air with
in the whirl did ntft prevent the vi- v
bration for unouiation ) by which
the sound is conveyed, from being
communicated to the tranquil air
Without it ?—Were not the vibra
tions carried round and round wi hia
the tornado and there expendtd—•
This opinion is confirmedme by
the recollection of What 1 have heard
persons say who have been in torna
does. that there is a continual loud
thundering sound—which I think is
produced by the electi ic concussions
within the which They hear it con*
tinuaily—these out of it hear noth
ing even irom the fiercest dashes of
lightning.
I will mention but one circumstances
—the hailstones which fell in theses
tornadoes were as large as a pint tin
cup, and would not go in Hail or
