Extract of 3 Letter from a OeilCvniati at 13ayr Mansinera.
Santa lluininge, to a htetenntilc Haute in this City, dated
the 17th March:--
*" I ant, gri.td to annotince the arrival at :this
port today of the British schooner firiendship,

bAwsot, bound to Monte Christ° ; she hal a
long and tedious passage, having encountered a
heavy gale of wind ft thn the N. which was succeeded
by a few days calm, Oa the tith note was hoarded
by three schoOners which !toot, nut from under
the land, about Cumberland Harbour, in Cuba,
which took out from-the Friendship three Spanish
passengers, who Were immediately put in irons.
Under what flag these pirates were I cannot post-
lively state, for they had all different colours ;
one had Spanish, another Spanish with u black
ball, and the tl►ird blue, white and blue, horizon•
tal. Shortly afterwards they ordered the Friend-
ship to make sail; which was compiled with ; and
the Captain intends, on hi; arrival at his port of
destination, to ,enter a protest on the acts com-
mitted by those schooners.
" The sea is swahning with banditti, and no
one to oppose them. 111erclinnt vessels cannot
pass peaceably along without being robbed, and it
is believed that, there is many of their crew who
never return to tell the story of their capture."

The late- rumours in the Political Circles of l
expected Changes in Administration, are, we be-
lieve,' totally without foundation, and probably
arosefrom Lord GaeriviLLE's having voted con-
Crary to his Party on the formation of a Comniittee.
of Secresy, and for the proposed measures that
followed it. We believe also, that the reports of
an intended Dissolution of meat are as lit-
tle founded on fact.
