Hufore mentioning the lamentable events of that day, and tho two succeeding ones, I shall give you $ brief account of a few preceding oc currences, which were uourcef. of great uneasi ness to inc. The first was the death of John Wetter, (a marine,) who wns unfortunately drowned in the surf, on the 28th February, and the desertion of four of my men. They took tliu advantage of a dark night, and left tho bay unobserved ny any person, excepting n prison er* who hnd' tbe watch on deck. I'lioy took with them sovevnl muskets, a supply of ammu nition, and many articles of little value. M^* I attempt to pursue them was prevented by their destroying partially the only boat near tho beach, at that time sea-worthy. On the 12th April began to rig the ships 8c rin^apatam and Sir Andrew llnmmoml, which, as I calculated, employed the men until the 1st of May. All hanus were then engaged in get ? ting tne remainder of the property from tho Greenwich to tho Keringapatimi, as I began to despair of yuur rejoining meat that place. The work went on well, and the men were o bedieut to my orders, though I discovered an o vident change in their countenances, which led me to^nppose there was something wrong in a gitatinn, and under that imprcsiion, had nil tho muskets, ammunition and 'small arms of every description, taken to the Greenwich, (tho ship I lived on board of) from other ships, as a neces sary precaution against a surprise from my own men. On the 7th May, white on hoard the Seringa patnm, on duty, which required mv being ,?i'e* trcnt,a mutiny took place, in which f was '?ound-\ ed, and tho mutineer* succeeded in getting tho 8cringapnfam out of the bay ? two day* after, t\ hen making tho necessary preparation* to dc* part for Valparaiso, we were attacked by tlio savngoa, and I have, with the detixtot regret, to inform you, tor, Midshipmen W illiam rollers, John Thomas, Thomas Oibbs and William Ilru? dinal. wcro mn*sficrcd, and Peter Coddihjtton, (marino) dangerously wounded* After bending thejib, and apankcr, wo cut our moorings ana fortunately had a light breeze that carried the ship etehr of the hay nix catrldge* remaining out of tho only barrel left us by the mutineers. After getting out of tlte bay, wo found our Hitualion most distressing. In attempting to run the were ?

I was there unfortunately cap tured by the Kngliah ship Cherub, remained a. prisoner on board of her seven months, during which time my men were treated In ajnost shameful manner* W'o were then put on shorn a t Itio tie Janeiro, without the po**Hril$rbf get. ting away, until after hearing of the peace. 1 then, b? the advice of the physician attending mo, embarked on hoard a Swedish ahlp bound to Havre de Grace, (thorn being no other mean* of ?;4iting away at that time) leaving behind act* ngVvnTdslii|iman Clapp, and five men, having lost one soon after my arrival in that place with the small pox. On tne first inst. Inf. 47 N. long. 18 W\ we fell in with the American ship Oliver Kll s worth, bound to ildf port.* I took a passago on board of her, and arrived here two days since, after being upwards of an hundred days at sea.
