Our commerce here is still much annoyed by the censtant depredations and outrages epremitted by nember of aimed schoenen. on West ladistmen ani witert:Ading shirts passiog enough the Cell; as also upon the small c'caft on the coast. In fist, the la.rer scarCtly ever venture nut, exce i tt under the er; tectiois of some slip of war, so mitt!' theaded :re the despe ra:'oss which man these pira:es. Tuey consist of rene gad .es of several nations, chiefly Creoles, Put tit guest., and 'r fr:leers from the c ails of South America and the islands a Ijacent. _ Their vessels ate mostly — schooner rigged, carrying from ei.sht tit twelve, or fon. tern. gnors besides they have an immense quantity' of fire arms, which they ate ahle,.in ease of • merginay, to put in req tess_on, nit ac connt orate number of hauls on board, which is gene. rally not less than from seventy to a hundred men. ;it boarding:each man is sul.ph - ed with a pike, or an axe, besides hie customary fire aims; these, however, are but seldom used, as they only attack such ships as t!•ey are Convinced can make hut lit le or no te,istance; for when they are pursu•d by an enemy of superior force, they immechat• ly set ;ill theO - canvass, and scud for some port ref rendez • us, which is g nerally on the Spain-hi Main. • Their am:la_ity is carried to such an exiamt th t they will tiequently run in dr ss off our ports; and, in sight sometimes, of a regular ship of war, plunder metchant vessels and sugar dreggers, the crews of which, it re_istance is nude, fall victims to their fereci; y. - On the 13th instant, an instance of what I have been describing took place. An American merchant brig saled from the rivet St. Lawrence, with a cargo of flour, staves, wood. hoops, coals, &c. for the Bet mu:las : three weeks after her diaaiture, she male •he east_ end of the Island of Jamaica. and on the 1311 inst. came off a point of land called " Care Catrientes," on the sou h side of this i-land, about two o'clock in the afterntion. When about three leagues from the land, and bearing W.S.W. a was ciiscovered on the lee quarter, distant about foul leagues. At first the Captain imagi:.ed it was an Eng. lish merchant sh p, which was steering through the Gulf, an.t consequently it ok ro particular notice of it, but on finding th y neared him, and was making all sa I, he west alolt, and with his glass cruld distinguish that it was an armed scly:i n r, full of men, with a pita si. al flag flying at the m;zeti. In consequence of this Captain Petty thought it advisable to alter his course and make for this port, and every man on board exerted • himself to the utmost, but unfortunately the ship rn.!•:e .is much lee as head way, the wind on th: sirs hoard how, and at the tlne Wowing a s t ship go ng with her top-sails reefed. Hy this time ese schooner was making fast upon them ; atsout five dock ; Captain Petty was cemp.:lled to the dreadful Iternative of either forsaking his vessel and escaping on shore with the crew in his boats, or to remain and c .Itrily see his'ship pluedered by the enemy, for resist ance, wle-ti once they gain possession of her, would be it,stant death.
