NEW YOltii,JiNk. 21.

FATE or THE Fl LOT-BOAT PATRIOT.—It will be re-
collected h/ many of our readers that during the late
war with England the above-named pilot-boat was de-
spatched to Charleston for the purpose of !Hinging to this
city Mrs. Allston, lady of the then Governor of South
Carolina, and daughter of Colonel Burr, formerly Vice•
President of the United States. Mrs. Allston wes in a
delicate state of health at the tittle, and unable to travel
by land. Timothy Greene, Esq. of this c.ty, an inti-
mate friend of Governor Allston's family, proceeded to
Charleston in the pilot-boat, for the purpose of accom-
panying Mrs. Allston on the voyage. From the time
they embarked aid sailed from Charleston, no tidings
whatever had been heard of the vessel or any one on
board. it was at first supposed that the vessel must have
been captured by a British cruiser, but, after a lapse of
time, that hope was abandoned. Notwithstanding the
weather was mild and favourable for several days after
the vessel left Charleston, and such as to render her loss
mysterious, tip to the present time no other idea of the
melancholy circumstance had prevailed than that the
vessel *Mist hate foundered at sea, or run untkr during
a chase.

lint the mystery is at length developed. For the
honour of human Ittllt'.! It were to be tvishal that the
tags had noer bun revealed, and that the following
horrible tale had been boned with the wretches who
told at :

A g, ntlem3n recently from New Orleans Ilas com-
municated to friend of the family of the Late Ntr.
Green, that two of the pirates, lately sentenced to suffer

death at New Orlglus, confessed that tney composed
part of the crew of the above pilot-boat Palriol : that,
after being at sea two or three days, and near the
shore, they then rose upon the captain and passengers,
and confined them below when they stood close in
shore, and after plundering the passengers of a consider-
able sum of money and plate, belonging mostly to Mrs.
Allston, they launched the boat and Scott led the vessel,
which soon filled and went down, with the unfortunate
inmates confined below! The dreadful tragedy was
performed in the dead of niuht. These wretches suc-
ceeded in reaching the shore with the boat, and had
thus lar escaped detection and punishment of this hor-
rible crime.

York, June 23.—Last 'sight a fire broke out in the
city of fray, which has laid hi ruins one-third oldie fairest
portion of that flourishing city. The nwntier of build-
ings destroyed is about 120, among which are some of
the best dwellings, and a great portion of the largest and
most substantial fire-proof stores and storehouses. On
River, or Alain Street, all the stores and buildings of
every kind on the west side, and extending to the
water's edge, from Gale's store to 1)r. Corning's, both
of which are saved ; and on the east side, frem Congress
Street to and including Parker's book store, are destroyed;
as arc all the buildings, except two (the Troy bank and
a dwellina•house), on the west side of Front or Second
Street to the same extent as on the side east of Main
Street; and the esiimated loss is a million of doilatS. It
was about sunset when the news reached Albany ; many
of our citizens immediately went to the assistance of
their unfortunate neighbours, and several of our engine
companies went with their engines . It was near I t
o'clock whet, the fire was gut under.

with lead. This will not only keep thent cool, but
