A delineation of his cha racter has appeared in the New-Hampshire Historical. Collections,, from which ,the Newbury port Heyald has gathered the following particulars : j ' ' Jehn Paul' Jones was born in Gal way County, Scotland, in 1747, and couiJ av claims to but humble parentage. His Father had been a gardener to jtie Earl of Selkirk His ori;inal name wiis "John Paul. The son receivedthe .satipe riame, and was taken into ,the fsmilof the Earl of Selkirk, and was there edu rated under a private tutor. At the , are of fifteen, from what cause is- notjat Present known, he took up with a jjeja 'Jarinsj'Hfe, and, after a jreular apnijen aicesl'up, became. master of a vessel, en va2ed in the West India trade, I In otw of his voyages to Tobago, a mutiny arojse in, theshin, which was quelled, -but not without the death of one of the mutineers. When arrived at Tobago, .he delivered fain self up to trial, jjand n-as acquitted. After acquittal, he re turned to England, and was threatened with imprisonment, in order for a new trial: Feeling, prohablr, the injustice of such a measure, lie quitted his coun try, and took refuge in America, on the eve of the revolution. It was here that he added to his paternal; his mother's maiden name, Jones On receiving a Lieutenant's commission, he embarked in the expedition under . Commodore Hopner, against iNew-proviuence. At r. his return, he was appointed to com- mand a sloop of 1 2.- guns, and a short time after, to a ship of 18 "guns. In this he cruised, in 1778, around (the oasts of England and Scotland, made a. descent upon the coast of Scotland near the Earl of Selkirk's house, and carried off the family plate, which Was afterwards restorerf. He landed also at AVhitehaven, in Cumberlandshire, b'it without causing material injury to ..-th'e inhabitants. In cruising, the sa ne year, off the Irish coast, he discovered a British vessel, by the name of the Urake, in the harbour of Vaterfokl, . ami challenged her to combat. The challemre she accented and was beat- en. -i. In the summer of 1779, a squadron wiis fitted out: over which Mr. Jones was appointed commander. , IJe saijetl in the Bonne Homme Richard of j4p guns, and; 415 men, This squadron sailed from France on the 14th of Au jrust, and was sucessful in making a va riety of captures, both of merchant ves sels and ;vessels of wari- In a gale he M as separated from the rest of his forces, hut was rejoined by them about the 1 st f September. , He then cruized about the N. E. coast of Scotland, and form ed the daring plan of levying a contri bution upon the town of Leith. This vas to be effected by putting himself off . tne commander ola British squadron, ll" his plan could be put in exescutipn, and theu to demand a ransom of I the town of 100,00G on-' the' alternative, of .sum.Ting a total destruction of the town. , ,11s deception was discovered, just as t!e squadron had hove to before the jwn of Leith. On this lie immedmte- v put to sea, and on the 22d of ISep :b)niber. arrived off Flambdrough head. Vhdc here he discovered .the Baltic Vet, con voyed by a frigate and a sloop J'1 War and after the most desperate Tatte that ha,s " ever been recorded, 1,lade; himself master of them.

Happening to fall in with this frigate, he was im mediately hailed, when he returned the name of a ship of the British Navy. This satisfied the English captain, who, as the sea was rough and as it was near night, ordered him to keep com pany 'till the morrow, when he would send his boat aboard. -Butthe morrow ne ver dawned-on the hapless Englishman, for Johesv getting up within pistol sh r distance, discharged a broadside! into him, and immediately wearing ship dis charged the other,: when the English vessel sunk with every soul on board her. Jones was then in theU. States' frigate Ariel. On peace taking place," he returned to Europe, and going to St. Petersburg, was honored with a com mission in the Empress Catharine's fleet, when the Engl isn under him refus ing to serve, he was transfefred to a command under the Prince of .Nassau, then acting against the Turkish fleet. Here by asuccessful stratagem, he put the Turkish fleet into the power of the Prince who wantonly set tire, and! thus barbarously involved the crews, ib 6n general destruction.
