ANOTHER HORRID PIRACT.-6ptatu Fitz, of
the schooner Olive, arrived at this port from the
Bahama., informs, that about the mv!tlle of June,
the wreckers had fallen in with a ship ashore to
windward of Rum Key, the crew of which had
been cut to pieces, and were fantod hanging in the
rigging ! The wreckers had also picked up a brig
at sea near the same place, entirely deserted, sup•
posed to have been rubbed by the pirates. The next
gang of pirates who may be condemned to be exe-
c used in this country for their fiend-like cruelties,
we presume will be pardoned. _ . .
