William Hoggatt, Quarter Master General of the Militia of the state of Indiana. Ind. Gaz. A Norfolk paper of the 15th instant States, that a combat took piace at St Croix, between some American sailors belonging to the ship Gleaner, of NewYork, and a part of the crew of a Danish government vessel, in Which the former is represented as coming off victorious, having handled the Danes very roughly. The day following the recontre a boat put off from a Danish vessel with a number of sailors, but no officer, and rowed to wards the Gleaner. When sufficiently rear, they rested on their oars, and commenced abusing the American sailors ; who, in return, assailed the Danes with whatever missiles they could lay their hands on, which compelled them to seek safety in flight. A complaint was thereon lodged with the Governor ol the Island founded on an alleged indignity offered the Danish flag. A court was convened the Americans ordered ashore for trial, when it was proven that the Danish sailors were. the a aggressors in every instance. Both the law and the evidence acquitted the Americans of the charge upon which they were arraigned - yet notwithstanding, the Governor in order to allay the clamors of the plaintiffs ordered that the Stewart of the Gleaner should be selected for punishment,and receive Twenty-Five Lashes, which sentence was rigidly executed, LOOK HERE.
