Collector’s Office, Diftri’Ct of Pt nobfeot. Caftine, Nov. 23, 1808. Sir, On the evening nf the \JI of No vember, 1 had information, that an Fnglijh v'ffel had come up the Penob feet bay in the afternoon, in fuch a way that rendered her very fufpicious ; and that Jhe had followed a fnall veffel twenty miles, out of her way, and had come to anchor, tinder Long Jjlind, a bout funfet, although foe had a fair wind, and a fine moon all night. I went immediately fser her, and found her in a fmg harbor. She had a clearance from Per if mouth, New- Hampjhire, for Nova Scotia—and was undoubtedly after a load of Mr. Mafter's four —I made fiizure of the veffel ( and took her to Caflins that night J under the ninth fell ion of the embargo aft. BeingJenfible that there was a plan forming a! Buck's town and the ifie of llaut, and that they were deter mined to evade the laws by force, 1 went to Buck's-to wn , and placed an officer on fhore, and put an vffuer on board a Jhop that was loading under a permit—the only fufpicious veffel that was there at that time. The of ficer on fhore was to give information to me by. land, in cafe any violence „ Jhpuld be offered to the officer on board. 1 then proceeded to the lfle of Haul, and placed five men there with a boat to guard the fur, If c. there, as I have previoufly dated, their orders were to flop any boat or veffel that Jhpuld come paft thee, that appeared fufpicious, and to fee that the flour, ifie. was mt taken away without a permit—they were armed to defend them]'elves, and their crisis were to commence no attack but what was ftfitlly their duty to do. I then went to Caflide, and was preparing the final! fekpener to ervije from the lfle of Haut to Buck's town, armed as I fated in my lad—and am jenfible foe will out fail any veffel that floould at t nipt to make their cfcape. On the fotto in/l. on the Sabbath night, the wind blew fre'h ct North, my officer at Buck's to wn had turned in abut v • nine o'clock, and all things were peace able, he was iwoke by five men, mafk ed and armed, coming into the cabin 3 an drilling him to be quiet, or they would bind him ; there were then thirty or forty men who came down on the wharf, blacked and dreffed in difguife, and put on board w a quantity of flour and f[h, and got her under way , and fent her to fa, taking the officer on board with them, whom they carri ed down the bay about forty miles, and landed him ; but at fuch a place that he could not get any affifiance j at the fame time thefe men tame cn to the wharf, there was thirteen men fta tioned on the bridge, about two miles from Buck's-tcwn, to prevent my of ficer cn fhore from giving me informa tion, and by the time I had received the information, floe had got ten hours fiart, and with a j much wind as Jhe could carry fail to. On the fame evening there came in among ft the IJlands, an Englijh fcbco nerfr om Nova Scotia, with eight men on board, armed with mujkets and cullaffes ; and aUer ouifingftve or fix days am on ft the IJlands, they were boarded by a boat from Buck's town, with five men armed with rr.ufk ts, blunder buffer, and bearding pikes ; they then took a pilot from fount De fer/, and proceeded to the lfle of Haut, all on beard the fchocner, except two men in the boat, who towed the fichoo ner into the reach, net far from the ft ore that contained the flour, ayid came to an anchor j it was then aboutfeven o'clock in the evening, and very dark j the beat was then ordered along fide, and ten men armed with nine mujkets and apiftol, all loaded with ball, got into the boat. She was then ordered to row on do ore to the wharf, where the flour was, the beat was dfcovered by my men, and they prepared them - fives to ft and their own defence. ‘ 1 he mafter cf my revenue beat hailed the boat from the floore, as ftoe was coming towards the wharf \ and th y anfwer edfrom Vinal havejj, in this diftriPt. ’lhe officer then ordered thm to row on fhore. Immediately they rowed up to him, fprung from the boat, with their guns cocked, took the officer pri- Joner at the bows of the beat $ they then rufhed on the reft of my men j killed one man and took another pr ifo - took his gun from him and let him go j the other two made their cf cape ■, they took the revenue boat, and all the other boats on the ifland, as they thought , and hauled them up and fe cured them ; they then took the man, that was fhot, and dragged them into the water, hauled the fiheoner into the wharf\ and took one bundled aid ftx ty barrels, of ficur and rice, and made fail for fea , with the mafter of the revenue beat cn beard ; the two men that made their efcape, veiy luckily found a beat cn the back fide of the if land, and came to Caft'ine and gave mt information. I fent immediately for the fchocner that we ordered to cruize from Buck's town to the lfle of Haut, to report to me from the guard of each place. She was on her way to Buck's town, 1 took thirteen men in the fchoo ncr with me, and put four men into a Jmallfail beat, to accompany us ; and we ftartedfor the ifle of Haut, as Jeon as pcjfible, it was then night, and focn came on a violent gale of wind , and the boat has not been heard of fince ; —and the men are loft btyond all doubt. IV* arrived at the lfle of Haut the next morning. I found there my de puty from Deer Ifie , with twenty men, who arrived the evening before ; but the fchocner was gone when they ar rived ; as they had carried eff one of my men a prtfener, lthought it my duty topurfue them, altbuugh it then blew a very fever e gale of wind I took into the Jchooner a part cf the men from Deer lfle, and run over to Fox Ifland, and came in fight of thefckoo ner, in what is called Fox Ifland Tho roughfare j they dijeovtred our colors , cut their cables, and got under way immediately ; we chaced them about ten miles to fea, when they were ob liged to fir ike their Englijh colours. J then ordered my officer (who was on board) to take the helm, and carry her into Owls Head for a harbor. — When we arrived in the harbor, I went on board and Jecured the men, and put them down in the hold of my veffel. And after the Jlorm I pro ceeded io Caftine, and eight of the men that went on fhore in the boat, armed as before ftated , were examined before ihe hon. Job Nelfon, D. Howe and Bradfhaw Hall, efqrs. and were com mitted to goal, for the murder of La zaro Bagodanovich, an Italian His body has been found, and the verdibl of the jury was WILFUfi MUR DER. This is a correbi flatemsnt of falls, and nothing exaggerated. I am, fir, Very refpefffully, + Tour obedient fervant , JO Sim HOOK, Lolls ft or. Hon. ALBERT GALLATIN, Secretary of the Treafury.
