REPORT OF PIRATES.

The following has been posted at Lloyd's :
" Intelligence by the schooner Apparition, of Jersey,
J. G. Gruchy, master, from Monte Video, arrived at
Cork :—On the 2d July, lat. 17, lon. 28 30 W., boarded
by two pirates, who, after overhauling the ship, left us,
taking with them a cask of water. Eleven men armed with
pistols, knives, &c., came on board ; the captain of one of
them was a short stout man, having a pair of white flan-
nel trousers on, and pistols in side-pockets,
dark complexion, black whiskers, and wore a
cloth cap. The other captain was a tall man,
grey eyes, yellow look, sandy whiskers, wore
a yellow shirt and old gold-laced cap, and was armed
with a knife and pistols. He spoke French fluently, and
appeared to be the Commodore. The interpreters were
a middle-aged man, having gray hair and mustachios, a
pair of white trowsers, and wore a white Manilla hat ;
he was also armed ; he spoke a little English and
French. The other interpreter appeared to be
labouring under the sickness common on board
of slavers ; he was dirtily dressed ; had a dirty
straw hat on ; wore large gold ear-rings in his ears ; a
sort of coarse bread-bag frock and trousers on ; and had
the appearance' of a confounder, thief, or pirate ; spoke a
few words of English ; and was armed with a long knife,
&c. Amongst the remainder were some blacks and a
man whom we took to be an Englishman, wearing a
French white round-topped hat, and shirt and canvas trou-
sers. The remainder were also armed. They were two
schooners, carrying no top-sails ; one of them having no
bulwark but a light rail, and round her painted black
outside, and two gilded stars on her stern. The other
was a large vessel, about 50 tons burthen, having a gilded
figure-head, and had a yellow stripe round her. The
decks of both of them were crowded with men.
