A SLAYER CAPTURED
DESPERATE FIGHT. (by electric telegraph.— copyright). London-, December 27. A despatch from Admiral Freemantle states that a dhow and 70 .slaves was captured off the East African Coast by H.M.s. Griffin. The slavers made a desperate resistance, but the blue-jackets fought bravely, and eventually effected the capture. In consequence of the individual gallantry shown in the affair, many of the Griffin's seamen have been recommended for promotion.
