A vessel arrived at Boston some time ago from
the Weft-Indies, brings information, that a pirate
had been off t'hofe islands for some time past, had
captured several vessels, and compelled the Officers
to walk over board on a plank. That one of the
sailors taken by the above pirate, intentionally fell
over board from the yard arm, and was taken up
by a boat from St. Kitt's, where he gave the above
intelligence, and that one French man of war, and
two frigates, and a British frigate had gone in quest
of him.
A letter from Exeter, in England, has the fol
lowing article, which ihews to what height smug
gling is carried in that kingdom: "I suppose nine
pounds of tea out of ten consumed in these two
counties are at present smuggled."
