IN our paper Of the 10Th uIt. we
gave an account Of the gallant conduit
OF Capt. lingey, as related by a gen
tleman who came pahenger in the Nan
cy, from St. Thomas'S. But as Capt.
Iin8ey did not mention the circum
itance in his letter to the Secretary Of
the Navy, received by the fame arrival.
many perlonS were inclined to doubt it.
The following, however, which we
procured at late hour lat evening,
may be relied on as authentic, and, in
our opinion, fully confirms the ac-
count
