,by the Rev. J. SUEI'II ERD and Mr. W. UMW, fi V' of the Con.

' a strong feeling of disgust and abhorrence even amongst the

'several grounds ; one is that he holds a pension from GOvern-

ThP ruins of an exten'siv4. City, said to tinvo

been surveyed by a learned Spaniard, and drawlOgs niade of in,
_curiosities, which 11;tve been scut to 14,p40n, and.will soon be

" These acts.are of latikatanding ; but not until about op,e
year ago, had they assumed thabarbarous appearance by which.
they are now diatieguiebed—inaltmatment of the unfortunate
individuals an board the eaplatred vends torture of the most
inhuman kinds, and, luatly, aseossination. The various reports
of these transacticteamblailk.i&ecettue *reedy, to our know-
ledge, atadetailed in the official information, of the agents. of
Lloyd's already in your possession ; but we arc sorry to see by
other details of well-authenticated facts in foreign newspapers,
that they are to an extent much greater than in these reports,
or than we could have formed an idea , ,

" People of all nations, encouraged -by the impunity with
which prizes were made under the various flags of South
America, at length collected together upon the almost unin-
habited coasts of this island, which the constituted authorities
could not protect; they easily inveigled to their party Spanish
sailors thrown out of employment, and maltreated by the cap-
ture above-mentioned ; and these last, joined to others of the
lower and most abandoned orders, have together formed a fra-
ternity of the most dangerous kind.

" In vain the laws of this country have endeavoured to over.
take the offenders; the persons of several have been put under
arrest ; others are known to be concerned ; coasting vessels in
the act of entry. with plundered goods on board have been seized;
but it is a, remarkable fact, that not one individual can be
found. to give a declaration to cause his neighbour to be con.
vizted ; and guilty persons are thus enabled to, escape to prose•
cute new enormities. The authorities arc thereby defeated in
every attempt. to bring the offender to condign punishment ;
and we are prevented, from the same cause, from stating cir-
cumstances of public notoriety, but of which we have no proof.
" 'As to the measures adopted by this Government, it is not
our province to speak. '

" The most effectual mode of putting an end to these &Pre-
dations would undoubtedly be that of a summary trial to con-
viction and execution of the delinquents, as a warning to others,
if such could possibly be accomplished.
" The next in order is that of the active exertions of cruisers
of a flag distinguished for their feats, and respected: and feared
accordingly. Already we have experienced the good effects of
the various actions of the cruisers of the United States (in one
of which his Majesty's schooner Speedwell joined), and latterly
of the little squadron fitted out at Nassau, New' Providence
and we ire persuaded that much more good n►ight have been
efl•;~cted in 'checking the enormities to which we allude, had his
Majesty's ships been found with more frequency in these seas,
for the purpose of putting down these piracie4, and no other.
But it is a !antenna* fact, the subject of much conversation
here, and, is transferred to the public papers of, other countries,
and what our duty obliges us to state to you, that ships of war
arrive here from direct voyages; they lay in this port a given
time without moving, and they sail again for ports direct, with.
out interesting, themselves in the least about piracies or pirates,
and bad not his Majesty's schooner Speedwell appeared (wait.
ing for his Majesty's ship Sibille, which never arrived), and
latterly his Majesty's ship Hyperion, we should not have known
that the ilritish.Government took the smallest interest in the
oaneetns of their subjects in this quarter.

" And whit add` to our concern on this subject is,. that
while Matter* are thus conducted, misrepresentations ahiruld
be made to. Parliament (an appears by the. dehatea) and to the
British people, of which the followirwie an instance
" In tlio Courier paper of the 10th of October Last, under
the head of " Piracy," appears a letter froth the Secretary
of the Admiralty to Lloyd's, a copy of which is herewith an-
nexed, respecting.his•Majesty's sloops Carnation and Dotterel
here for the protection of the trtide;' and that yotirself may
judge how far the facts therein-mentioned are correct, we
form yori that the Carnation arrived from Tampico with mo.
ney about the sth of August. She sailed again on the 10th for
Jamaica, and arrived there on the 4th 'of 'September. What
time of that interval could he left for that vessel. to c take up a
station' off' Cape Antonio, we know not, and we have reason to
believe'not one day; but we know, that of the 17 sail of Jamaica
ships which were thus reported to have visaed safely the Cape,
four were captured in that quarter, and the. eater. part of the
rest were in imminent danger. These were the mutiny of his
Majesty 's 'ship 'ryne.
" And, as respects the Dotterel, .this ifessetwat on a special
mission from the lialifax station 'to that of Jainaica, and' miller
return arrived here in 12 daya-friam Kingston on the it,ith of
July. She sailed again for the United. States on the 11th of
August, without having left this .port for. one instant to look
after -pirates ; the insinuation, therefol,, that that sloop was
herd for the protectionist' the trade wits wholly unfounded.
We refrain from adding other examples of equal foree ;
suffice it to say, that in proportion to the r"gret with which we
witnessed the abandonment' 'protection to the' traila in this:
dquarter was ouf.4vatilitsitiort at -.seeing arri'vw holitEnAland

,Nothing, to our
opinion, could be so well timed, and'. tux mcait'ire could have
been dictated of more vital importance to the British commerce;

we presume riot to peoetrate) shohld 'llldltet. you to wkthdraw
