Extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at Gibraltar,
dated 10th June:—" A Sanlinian sailor came here by land from
Spain on Wednesday last, and reported that he was one of the
crew of the Sardinian brig San Felipe, Giovanni Com' master.
on a voyage from Havannalt to Genoa, laden with Mike cocoa.
sugar, cinnamon, and 40,000 dollars in specie; was boarded off
Nlolina, near Malaga, at eleven o'clock on the night of the 24th
of last month, by a large black polacrc ship, apparently a Greek,
and mounting 18 guns, after firing three shots at her. When
they got possession of the San Felipe. they murdered the crew,
with the exception of this man and another, who were below.
and escaped through the cabin windows, and saved themselves by
swimming to the shore. He states the master to have been
beheaded; the master's son's eyes taken out, and ears cut off;
and the seamen tied back to back, and after being all stabbed,
were thrown overboard together. I trust the whole will prove a
fabrication, and that this man will turnout to be a deserter from
some vessel. The Sardinian Consul has written to Malaga about
the other man who escaped, and who the informant says remained
ill near that place.—The Dutch frigate I.e Rhyne. ping on a
cruise to the eastward, took this sailor with her to identify the
vessel if she fell in with her."
The Hibernia, front Greenock to the River Plate. was
wrecked near Cape St. Mary's 15th April.—Crew, and about i
packages. saved.
The Daphne, Howard, sailed from Port Jackson, 14th Octo-
ber, for Bengal. and was totally wrecked, about YOO miles from
he Derwet,t.—('rew saved.
Extract of a letter from Smyrna, dated 4th May, transmitted
by the Agent to Lloyd's at Malta :—" A few days since, a small
schooner was taken possession of here by a French ship of war,
upon a charge of piracy. The schooner came in under the
Turkish or Tunisian flag, but, with the exception of one man
and woman. all her crew are Maltese. A boy informed against
them, and amongst other things states, that when off Abate. they
took an English brig, which, after plundering and murdering
the crew, tisey sunk. This statement is denied by all the others.
but a French vessel has been despatched to Milo. where he says
they left a number of men and arms : should those be found, the
boy's assertion will be so far proved."
