A letter from Jacquemel (Hayti), dated Jan. 17,
states that the whole of the crews of two Amercau
ve.sels which had been captured by the pirat• s
who have so long infested that coast, were instantly
murdered by their savage captors. The Govern-
ment had taken no measures for the ailerpolte
punishment of these horrid crimes. Some of
pirates, it is true, hal been apprehended, but frith
no other view titan that of betiefitting the Govern-
ment by their depredations; for as situ 114 the ofi-
cers hat taken from them the fruits oftht.ir plund,r,
they were set at liberty to renew their outrageous
and murderous practices.

It appears to be the opinion of Sir Joseph Banks

be rendered a matter of extreme difficulty, but tb.y
could not say thal it was impracti:able.
