NEW-YORK, AUG. 1.

In our paper of Monday last we published a few particulars of the unhappy fate of a part of the crew of the schooner Nautilus, from this port to Curacoa. We have since seen Capt. Fuller, the bearer of the information, who says that he saw the men pared by the murderous privateersmen, and was informed by them, that after an engagement of an hour and a half, Capt. Dixon was boarded, and, for his manly resistance, they first inhumanly ran Capt. Dixon through the body, and, tho not dead, plunged him into the deep! after which they stabbed the first and second mates, and two seamen, threw them down into the forecastle, and shut it up, where they were left to perish by loss of blood, and suffocation. He adds, that Capt. Dixon, on finding their bloody intentions, pathetically entreated them to spare his life, as he had a family in New-York, whose subsistence depended on his industry. It was, however, useless to urge argument to the sanguinary monsters--they replied he should die for the resistance he had made, and immediately--commenced the horrid massacre.
