Illustrated by eight maps. In two volumes." Remarkable Incidents, &c. FRACAS-A serious affair took place on Saturday evening, in Water-street, Norfolk, between some Spanish and American sailors. The former, about twenty in number, having been roughly handled by our sailors in a fracas the preceding evening, came ashore expressly, it is said, to be revenged; for which purpose, they had provided themselves with knives, and soon provoked their adversaries to an affray, who, not suspecting treachery, attacked only with the weapons which nature had given them. In a few minutes six of the American sailors were stabbed, one of whom died on the spot, and another it is thought cannot survive. This was done before the guard could repair to the scene. They however arrived in time to secure the greater part of the murderers, whom they rescued from the enraged populace, and committed to prison. SHOCKING. On the night of the 2d inst. the house of Levi Crippen, of Perfield, N. Y. was burnt, and with it his six children, the oldest about 9 years, the youngest an infant about seven months. The parents, it is said, were both from home nearly a mile. TRIBUTE TO VALOR.-On Thursday Feb. 16, at 12 o'clock, Commodore BAINBRIDGE landed at the Long-wharf, Boston, from the frigate Constitution, amidst salutes from the Northend Artillery Company at Hancock's-wharf, and the Washington Artillery at Long-wharf. He was received at the landing place by Commodore RODGERS, Capt. HULL, Gen. WELLES, and other gentlemen of distinction, and escorted to the Exchange Coffee-house by the New-England Guards. On his quitting his barge, and at short intervals, till he reached the Coffee-house, the assembled citizens greeted him with repeated huzzas. The concourse of people occupied nearly the whole space from the end of the wharf to the Coffee-house, and it was with difficulty the escort penetrated. On the vessels in the harbor, across the wharf and street, and from many stores, &c. were exhibited that flag which his services have contributed to honor. On one ensign, which was extended across State-street was inscribed the names of HULL, JONES, DECATUR and BAINBRIDGE. Lt. Gen. HISLOP, taken in the Java, presented Com. BAINBRIDGE with a very elegant sword on parting with him, as a compliment for his magnanimity and humanity towards the prisoners. Obituary Motices---Deaths in the United States.
