WASHINGTON, SEPT. 3.
We have perused a letter from respectable source, dated Lisbon, July 19, from which we have taken the following extract.
"The Tripolitan Polacre, which took the Hamburg ship* was about a fortnight since sent into this port as a prize by the Portuguese squadron. As none of the men are taken out, it seems to be uncertain what the government will do regarding her. It is probable, that she will be detained until it is known whether the Hamburg vessel will be given up. Two Algerine cruisers and a felucca have also been taken within a month past.
"In a letter which I have received from Tangiers, it is stated that a brig, a zebeque, a half galley and three frigates belonging to the emperor of Morocco, were at sea."
* This ship was taken within a mile and a half of the rock of Gibraltar.
