Air EnrcA N

An arrival at in 15 day; from IlAvannah, states that" fire
barg:s, (four of them open boats,) hail been commissioned by the
Collector of llavaivrtah as privateers, to cruise against tne South
Americans; but accounts had been received that theywere com.
mining piratical depredations on the coast of Cubs upon all vessels
they fell in with. Remonstrances were made at flacannah against
the commissioning of those brats, as notorious pirates were known
to be concerned in them."

Extract of a Leiter, dated Vera Cruz. April 26, 1816 :
",A Mexicati frigate, two brigs of war, and several schooners are
now tiling here, and the appearance of a Spanish fleet is daily
limited for by the inhabitants. Several suspicious vessels hare been
cruizing off the coast. The place is becoming very siekly—from
80 to 100 persons die daily, aral many foreigners have already fallen
victims to the fever. General Packwood, the English Consul for
Vera Cruz, arrived here in the sloop of war Tweed. Captain Hume.
The United States frigate Constellation is daily expected."

COMPLAINTS OF BRITISH AGGRESSION.
It cannot be forgotten that several American fishing vessels were
illegally captured two yearn since by British crutzers which ren-
dered it necessary to wand an acme vessel to ptotect that branch of
our CIPNIMCMC. This year they are again unprotected, and depre-
dations have already been committed by the Dotterel. of tinted
memory, as will be seen by the fallowing extract from the Eastp)rt
Sentinel, of the 20th ult.:—

t• The schoorn Hammond. Tother!ey, of Portsmouth. New
Hampshire. with about 129 quintAls of fish on board, was captured
fart Monday on Sa• dy Cove fishing-ground., which is about two
'caplet; from the shore, by a I'OM belonging to the above brig. Two
other re-.selr, the Mary and Favourite, of Portsmouth, were in
company at the time, but made 'Lett escape; ■s did also the
schooner Lark, Caption Hilliard, of the sante place, now in this
port, from whom we obtained the above information. Captain H.
states that several shots a err fired at him, find came very near ktliti
ing one or two of his men. Ile supposes that several other vessels
were taken at the time, as a number were at anchor on another part
of the ground. It is hoped that an armed vessel will soon be sent
in our Bay, and another to the Labrador coast, for the protection
of the hardy and meritorious fishermen."
