PIRACY.

By an arrival from the Ilavanna we have lettcrs
the 21st of May, which state that the coast of Cuba cont.
need to be infested by pirates, who were aided in their
pursuits by a considerable portion of the Spanish Magi .
tract', and of the Custom House officers. These wrfechei
carry their audacity so far as to make public markeis of
what they have pillaged in the villages on the coast, where
the pviests serve as ag,•nts in the disposal of the goods. s,
veral txp.wlitions had been fitted out by the (overn,•r s.
the Ilavanna, to proceed against the pirates, but the} 1.4
returned unifiectssful. . . . •..
