The slaughter on both sides was brigade was almost annihilated ; but one field officer in the Wijplfls brigade escaped death or severe wounds. Gen. Brown and Gen. Scott were both Severely . wounded.

(being off Cape C hat J the sun assumed a very high ‘ blood colour ; and, at half two, a total darkness, ensued. This con tinued till about” suri set ; Wberi the /horizon somewhat cleared, but at Vnine q'clock it became so dark tliui ut \yas impossible to observe any ob ject, however near* without the help of lanterns. The ship laid too till two A. lil. when the obscurity dis appeared. • , It was a singular) and at the sivme time novel sight, to nonce the sail ors and soldiers, at tdid-day, having to to distinguish their pqddings and meat out of tfie cabouse j and not less so fbr the officers to be seated at their early dinner by candlelight. It is difficult tq icceoutU for this phenomenon, as it was not observed beyond 16 leagues on cither side of the spot where the - ship stood-—For three days previous some ashes, and smoke had been observed, but oq the 2d ho syrmpms of burnt, wood Was felt.

Perhaps then, captain Broke, and his gallant crew, who had humbled the pride of the Americsjh navy, in fifteen minutes, and forced the/ Chesapeake tq strike to his superior skill and bravery, wbuld sent to assist in starving an independent, Free and gallant nation into submission slavery ; a glorious reward for such an officer ; and .pleasant employment for the naval force of, England. “( Hear hear,'JP*’ . Now What has captain Broke done i to entitle him to the honor of being men tioned directly after Nelson, that terror, of the ocean P He has taken ode Amer ican ‘frigate j What a reluctant com pliment is this tb the gallantry of our - naval officers ! The American navy apd its p* ; de. are spoken of with as much gravity* as if it was equal 4ks ’ number to that of our enemy. They havp now taken another Atticr« ’ icah frigate in the course of a war, which, has lasted two years*and with such a formidable blockading fleet.
