Aboard
( The captain of tbe’Laura-Afrti was
theh sent back to the schooner, and on the follow*
jag day the prise master, rereived his instruction to
^ proceed to London mr adjudication. Daring the
voyage the vessel experienced very heavy gales of
4 .wind; and, from the Ignorance and unskilful ma
nagement of the prize master, was so strained as to.
make nearly five feet .water in the hold. Ott the
jj&$tb of June the Laora-Ann a rived at BWkwall
ptylesel end cargo in a most deplorable state) and be
’'o id^iibelled was tried on the 2d August, before Sir,
Wilfiam Scott, who after a very 6hort statement of
“ the Sfube restored the whole property, ordering,
-however, the claimants to pay costs, “ Justice sb
fc requiring;” these are the very words of Sir William
v Scott. ■ _; \ '■
•</«!. On taking possession of the. vessel the captain
railed a Survey, which was appointed at Lloyd’s
Coffee Mouse. The surveyors reported the schoon
er* was much strained; that the foieinast was
sprung, end that, to repair the damages she had bus-*
stained,"it was necessary to discharge the cargo,
wjlich was done by this order. On landing the car
go ic was found iu so damaged a state, hy reason of
the sea-water In the vessel’s hold, as to render it not
ohly unfit to be re-shipped, but necessary to make
immediate sale of it on the best possible terms, in
order to prevent a total loss of the property.

A PIRATE.
' The ship Miser, fri*m Boston, on her passage to
this port, was boarded ofl the east end of Cut a by a
large copper bottomed schooner, with a crew of one
hundred and five men, chiefly 'French * only one
pun mounted on deck. Th-v informed a gentleman
#ho was a passenger in the ship and who spoke
French, that they had upwards of 20 guns, which
hy.stress of weather they had been obliged to put
V. bejow a few days before. The ship was in ballast
f Srhirh those pirates examined carefully f»r money ;
not finding any, they took ofl two six pound gun
f erriages, five or six pieces of canvass, and several
other articles, for which tfcey relumed I y way of
compliment a few pieces of English nankeens and
somecolton stockings—they would not tell where
they Were from nor to what nation they belonged.
When they fired they were under British rotouis,
sthlch were immediately hauled down. Our informant
adds, he is of opinion that he had seen several of the
men in this city, one of them knew him and eon
'weried with him, but would not tell what they were,
■ojr where they were from.
