have been sold as slaves. This Government has, given notice
of their determination to put a stop to such proceedings, and
persons so offending arc to . be proceeded against in the Court
instituted in this island for the trial of piratical offences. One
of those vessels, the hoc Clignini is lately arrived here from

to Tunis, where they were sold as slaves by a Turkish super.

against them. 'A:vessel called the Adolpha arrived here yester.
day morning from Alexandria in 20 days, laden with corn
one of the crew died on board six days ago, and another man is
also ill, it is said, with the plague, but I have not sufficient
authority for pronouncing it with iertaillty to be the eau.
