Coxetter. We have been favoured with the particulars by an eye witness on board the latter vesee!, The Herald was steering for Nassau, at half speed, the li schaiees eles in sight, and shortly to saw a vessel about two and a half milesahead. At half-past five o’clock she was about four points on the starboard bow, and a mile distant. She then changed her course, and stood for tke Herald, as if to crose her bows. When within two or three hundred yards of her she rounded up alongside. The former then hoisted the British flag, and the latter fired a shotted gun across her stern. The Herald kept on her course, still at half speed, when the other fired a shot across her bows, slightly grazing her, and afterwards showed the Ame- rican flag. On this Captain Coxetter ordered all steam to be put on his vessel, when the American sheered of between three and four hundred yards and fired a broadside, which was inef- fective. From this time she kept up a ecn- tinuous fire, throwing shell, solid, chain and grape shot, giving chase, and not desisting till the Herald was within two miles or less The flag was shot down, but immediately replaced. Tae deck was tplintered over the cabin by a shell, part of which was found on board. Capt. Coxetter stood on the paddle box all the time, and | was heard to exclaim, “ He may sink me, | with regard to the hanging of Brown for the mur-| but he shall not take me.” No material damage was done to the ves- denying the whole story. After referring to her | sel, not a man on board was hurt. The Herald entered the harbour between six and seven o’clock, and reported the cage to Captain Hickely, of H. M. 8. Greyhound, | who immediately got up steam and proceed- \ed to the Adirondack, for the purpose of pro- testing against the procecdings of Captaia Ganesevort. The captain of the federal- man-of-war, however, asserts his right to search any vessel suspected of carrying con- traband of war within three miles of any coast, and quotes Vattel on International Law in support of the step he has taken. The subject, we understand, will be referr- government, at the request of Capthin Ganesevort. With all due deference to the captain of the Adirondack, and the authority he has brought forward in support of his untoward act, we feel convinced that the imperial gov- erumeut will never countenance such a gross infringement of the neutrality laws, and we sincerely trust that no similar outrage will be perpetrated again within our waters, Our goods are detained from month to mouth by the Custom House authorities of New York; our vessels are constantly be- ing boarded by federal gunboats within ous own waters, and that while our time-honor- ed flag is flying; not even the mail pack British Queen can pass along unmolested, for she was fired at and brought too this very passage.
