RICH CAPTURES.

[bY A SEAF-Aiibß.3

On "October 4,1799} despatches were received at the Admiralty fi-otn. 'CabtMil Young, of the Ethalion frigate, an nouncing tfiei dapt'iire of a vessel named the Thetis, from the Havanhah, "\vitli one million and a half of dollars on board, besides a quantity of merchandise; Shortly after this came news oE the capture of another Spanish galleon, the Santa Brigida> with treasure .estimated at between two and three millions of in addi tion to a .Valuable car£b of cochineal, sugar, coffee, and the like. A, few days Liter it was rumoured that Lord I3ridport*s share alone of the })fize mbiiey iunountetlto L 125,000. But the excitement caused by, this grcidfc capture has led to touch exaggerated gossip, and ifc was shown that if the prizes yielded LMO.OO'O, then LbrVl Eridpprt, who, as commauder-ih-chief shared one-third of an eighth,would get about L33i000. The other two-thirds of an eighth went to subordinate flag officers, $iib reckoned on Lly,w) apiece, whilst the four captains, of the frigates divided L 50,000. On the 29th of the same month a singular pro cession in honour of this great capture passed through Stpnehouse and fly mouth to the dungeons of the Citadel. First went a trumpeter of the Surrey dragoons, soAiialing a charge; then followed two artillery conductors, ah oincer of the Surrey an officer of Surrey dragoonsi two and two, with drawn sabres; a band of,drums and fifes, playing "Rule Britannia" and "(5-od save the .Iving >" then sixly4hr€e full '&f dollars in nine divisions t>l seven waggons. On the first waggon a seahian(carrying the British over the Spanish jack) officers of Marines, armed. On the centre waggon a .seaman carrymg the British ensign over the Spanish ensign, midshipmen armed with cutlasses . 'Twasa fine haul for Jack. Sixty three waggons of dollars ! How many jorums of grog lay in those, piles? how much fiddling* jigging caper cutling? But thoee Waggons only represented a part. It was not until the-last day of the month that the" re maining chests of the Spanish treasure were lodged in thb dungeons of the Citadel, Wl then the record runs : From El Thetis, 437 .boxes of dollars; from Santa Bridga, 60S boxes of. dollar's, containing nearly 3,000,000d01., besides very valuable cargoes of cocoa, iridigo, cochineal, and sugar, 'allsafely landed and warehoused in Plymouth^, under the Excise and Custom House locks.' Booty bf this kind makes one: think, of the old South Seaman, of the; big caracks of the spice islands and Westerti American of Dam pier, Shelvocke, Clip'perton, and Be tagh. ab| of the grand old Conlinodore, Ajison. His was possibly as big a bag, as ever fell 'to a mariner's lot. Tlifc galleon he taptured had in her pieces of eight, and neaWv 36,000 ounces of silver, which', with the treasure already taken by tire Centurion, amounted to about L 400,000 ' independent,' says the writer■ of the voyage ' of the ships, and merchandise which she either burnt or destroyed, and \vhichi by. the "most teasMable estimation, '•bp'tild amount tb so .little" as L6Oo>bOo more t so that the whole damage done the enemy by our did doubtless exceed : a million sterling.' ;The Acapulcb •gal leons had long inspired the dreams of the English freebooters. All the \ronder and' romance of the great South Sea, its coasts atld islands gilded by imaginations of more than Oriental ardency) had entered into those vast 'floating castellated' fabrics,; and the;. magnificence' of the. New! Jerusalem as beheld by the, holy seer was faint in comparison with the sub stantial splendours which the English sailor "with his mind's visibn VieW&ddn the holds of the tall Manila ships.' Diamonds of incomparable glory-, rubies, sapphires, and other gems of ja beauty inexpressible ; sacks full of rii dollars, •ducatObns ducats, and Bata vian rupees; chests loaded with massy plate, gold and 'silver, —with flagons, goblets, 'crucifixes and candles—here, to be sure, were temptations to court Jack from places more distant than ' Wappiiig and Gtavesend, and invite him to" contest with seas more ferocious, than those which shattered the squadron of Pizarro-and destroyed the< Wager,' In all naval history I can .find.nothing more remarkable than the immense courage and wonderful persistency 'of thb%old freebooters.;' 1 Follow Dopier as he traverses the deep and outlives • a ;jterrible gale in a smalt -canoe ; 'anil Shelvocke as he launches his wretched, boat, which be called theV.Keeoveryy aud sails away in her, loaded.with sea-, men, who had scarce the space to lie down in, .and victualled with Nothing better than smoked conger eels,. a cask of beef, and'four liVe hogs, upwards of forty of > us Crowded tb : , gether, and lyingupon the .bundles of eels, and being of no method; of keep ing burselves clean, all our senses were as much offended as possible. There was not a drop of water to ; be had without sucking it but.bl the ;cask with: the. barrel of. a'.musquet, which wa's used by everybody promiscuously, and the little unsavburjr morsels' we daily ate created perpetual quarrels among : us, everyone contending for the frying' pan.' , Yet .despite their miserable con dition, these.stout attacked the first Spaniard 'that came.m tKeir \yay, took her,' arid used her in their sub sequent marauding adventures.,,;. The voyage .had. a,dismal issue, yet.they, managed to pick up a little booty here and there. "Some curious old Spanish stratagems were exhibited. In. one prize they found a quantity of sweetmeats, ■whtali were divided among the "messes, One day a seaman complained that he

had a box bf * jnalHiaJfi'de , 5 which he 'could not stick Ms Knife into, and asked that it might tre changed.. Shelvocke Open it; arid found inside a cake of virgin silver, moulded on pur lioso to fit such boxes; and. say he, ' being very porous, it was of hear the same weight of so ni'ucli marmalade. They overhauled the rest, and found five more of the boxes. \We dbub't- Ibss, :;exdlauns the bid buccaneer in a, \ srie'ving way, ' left a grdat many of these bbxes behind us-, so that this deceit served thelii in % double capacity defraud their king's blntors and blind their enemies.' , Ifc alway seems to U tli.e hlii)ghty', Don who, in the oltl stories, yields Jack the rich booties. Here, for example, is v passage from the 'Annual Register' of 17/G2 : ( T r he' Hermioues .a.
