EXPLOIT OF A PRIVATEERSMAN. A writer In the Salem Evening Jour--fifl givfiscnie interesting (acts in re lation to the marina of Salem i 1 years on br. Anions other things he gives Ibe following account of an exploit of .1 o 1 1 one oi me -oaieni puvaieersmen in 1814. December 6th, tlie Macedonia, Captain Penn Towiitend, arrived witli prize goods and 22 prisoners. The way in which the Captain came at, aod captured one of his prizes, is fully elucidated in the following anecdote, the substance of w hich the writer had from his own lips. It appears that just after he had left the Wertern Wards, where he had stepped to recruit, and while he was cruising between those inlands and Tristain de Acunna, asail wasdiscov ered on his lee bow, tow ards w Inch he immediately kept away. Whilst runnine down, with alight breeie, the lookout at the mast-head was hailed from the quarter deik as follows: MasUhead, there! Sir? 'Do you ste that sail now ?' Aye aye sir.' What does she look like ?' She looks very large, sir. Guess the is either a frigate or indiaman.' On hearing this, Captain T. took his glass and went aloll to satisfy turn sell in regard but It to his enemy s strength and calibre. Alter doing so, ' he came down from alolt, luffed then bia vessel up in the wind, sent all his men, Willi exception oi nine or ten, ue low, hoisted Dutch colors and kept oil again before the wind. Disguising hunselt so as to appear as mucli aspos aible like a Dutch skipper, and having transformed such of his men as remain ed on deck into very respectable Dutch Sailors, Capt. T, ran down across the enemy's stern, and coming to under her lee quarters was nailed asloliow t: Ship ahoy l Hallo.' What ship is that?' The name of some Dutch vessel with which the Captain was w ell acquaint ed, but which we have forgotten, was given in reply, and men Lapt. 1. in broken English, inquired : Vot ship isdatr In reply to this the name of a noted Indiaman was give, with the following addition: We are last from Barbary, bound to London, and short of provisions; can't you supply us?' In answer to this, Capt T. replied in substance, that it the Captain of the Indiaman would favor him with a vis it he would ie what he could do about it, and a short time alterwards he had the satisfaction of seeing a boat along-, side his vessel with the English Capt. in full uniform, who immediately came on board. With the utmost politeness and civ ility of manner, Capt. T. invited the stranger into his cabin, as was custo mary in those days, to lake a glass ot wine. This invitation was ot course immediately accepted, and the Capt. went below, where the first officer ol the Macedonia, as had been previous!) arranged, acted the part oi Stewart b) . placing upon the table w ine and such other refreshments as the larder of the tessel at the time afforded. Then the two skippers sat downtc the table and after pledging each otliei in a friendly glass of wine entered into tn animated but general conversation, in the course of which the Englishman animadverted at considerable length and with much warmth, upon the pro ceedings of a certain privateersman commanded by one Townsend, who he solemnly averred was a regular Yan kee devil. At this point of proceeding, Capt. T. gave the wink to his steward? tern, who in a clandestine manner handed him a couple of pistols, one ot them be instantly presented at the English Ctptain, saying as he did so : Sir, you are my prisoner. I am that Yankee devil T. about whom you have been so freely speaking. Choose row whether you will have your brains blown out or surrender your'ship.' Seeing in a moment that all resis tance would be perfectly useless, the Englishman said . I surrender.' Then he gave orders to bis 2d Lieutenant, who had charge of bis boat, to return to his vessel and baul down the celors, which was im mediately done. A prize crew was then put on board and the prisoners were transferred to the Macedonia, and the result was that one of the rich est prizes taken during the war arrived safely in the United States.'
