[From the Clarkston llfereary,ef May 51
We learn by Captain Luddington, of the sloop James Monroe,
arrived this morning from Neuvitas and Nassau,. N.P., that the
schooner Planter, Captain Eldridge (formerly a coaster from this
port to the southward), which sailed from New York foe Neuvitas
on the 15th of February last, was fallen in with about the 10th of
March off Neuvitas, by • piratie,al pilot-beat-rigged schooner,
mounting five guns. who toot possession of her, and run to leeward
of Scum's, where it is related they murdered the Captain and all
bands. The above pirate is supposed to be the vessel captured by
the United States' steam gallim Sea Bull, and the boats of his
.Britaimic Majesty's frigate Dartmouth, goods baying been found
on board known to hare been shipped in the Planter. Captain
Luddington also states, that a boat from slatanus had arrived at
Neuvitas a short time previous to his sailing, and reported that she
had been fallen is with by the Cclombian privateer schooner
Revenge, Captain Bedford, who took out her cargo, consisting of
bees-wax, and allowed them to proceed. The Captain of the boat
seated, that while in company with the Revenge, he saw an Ante.
titan cruiser send her boats on board of the schooner Planter, then
lying at anchor near the shore. The Lieutenant commanding the
boats went on board of the Planter, when one of the pirates, sup.
prised to be the Captain, presented what he called hi. commission,
, ppon which the Lieutenant shot him through the head.
