Yesterday, at six A. M., we sighted a schooner in the horizon, hoisted the Spanish ensign, and she did the same, but as soon as we ran up the Stars and Stripes she hauled to the wind and tried to escape; we put on sail after sail, till we had twenty-one sail set; but the schooner was a smart sailer, and we did not gain any. We then run out the guns, and fired two shots at her, but she did not mind it. The Captain ordered the sails to be wet down, and they were drenched, and we began to come up with her.

P., and on the same errand as the other prize, namely, to run the blockade. She has a cargo of coffee and soap, and her papers show her to be worth $50,000. We are now on the way to the South-west Pass with her; she had been boarded before by the Kingfisher and allowed to go. We had a chase of eight hours, capturing her at two P. M.
