ST. HELENA.—The free trader Prince Regent
arrived on Friday at Portsmouth, from the Mau-
ritius (laden with sugar), the Cape, and St. He-
lena—left the Matirit ins 28th April, the Cape 6th
October, and St. Helena 26th November. She
was dismasted off the Cape, and lay there four
months repairing. The Liverpool, • Topaz, and
Curlew, had touched there on their way to the
India station. Detachments of invalided soldiers
from the Mauritius, with the following Officers,
have arrived in her :—Captain PRITCHARD, 56th
regiment ; Lieutenant CAMPBELL, late of the
Bourbon regiment ; Captain READ, Company's
service ; Dr. RANCLAVD, Royal Artillery ;
AID, Commissary; also, Mr. BROADLEY, late Mid-
shipman of the 11agicienne, and eleven invalided
seamen from that ship. On the day the Prince
Regent left St. Helena (fifty days ago) it was
ascertained that BUONAPARTE was in his usual
health, and safe in his residence. Nothing new
whatever had transpired concerning him. The
ships left there were—Conqueror (Admiral PLAm-
eiNi),- Eurydice, Tees, Redpole, and Dotterel.—
The Hyaena had sailed for the Cape, for live stock.
THEODORE HooKE, Esq. Accountant-General
the Mauritius, came home in the Prince Regent.
This Gentleman was sent to England by General
HALL, the Commander-in-Chief at the Mauritius,
limier arrest, upon a charge of inaccuracy of ac-
counts. On his arrival here, he was released by
an order received from the Secretary of State's
Office.

FOR THE SUN%

BARBAROUS PLUNDER.

Ma. EDlTOR,—Amongst the melancholy cata-
logue of crimes so frequently recorded in the pub-
lic prints, perhaps there is none surpassing in
moral turpitude the one I am about to detail, on
the authenticity of which you may rely in every
respect :—On the 21st of last month, a brig
named the Mary, loaded with salt provisions, a
large quantity of butter, and other merchandize,
was driven on the Goodwin Sands, where she
was soon surrounded by a number of hovelling
boats, the crews of which, amounting, it is sup-
posed, to between 200 and 300 men, boarded her
in all directions, and commenced a scene of plun-
der-, which would have disgraced the Barbarians
on the coast of Africa. Armed with axes, they
in the most daring manner cut away the masts,
rigging, cables, and sails, and scuttled the decks,
to carry on their depredations more readily, break-
ing open the casks of provisions, cutting up the
ropes, and dividing all this spoil amongst each
other, Nearly all the cargo, the cabin store and
furniture, the Master's clothes, money, and every
moveable,, article, was stolen and carried off, in
the open day. in presence of himself, his crew, and
the Clerk of the Agent for the vessel here, who had
gone off for the purpose of assisting the unfortu-
nate Captain in his distress. By means of this
Gentleman, such information has been conveyed
to the Owners, as will lead to the identifying
many of the depredators, with whose persons he
is quite familiar, in the execution of his usual
duties of visiting all vessels in distress coming to
our harbour. The loss of cargo and stores,
known to have been saved from the vessel, but
since stGlen, amounts io upwards of 60001., and
it is said the greater number of people implicated
are the Boatmen of Deal ; it is, however, some
consolation, that the evidence of Mr. Austen's
Clerk will thus be the means of bringing many of
.
these persons to justice, the officers from Bow-
street being actively employed in consequence in
seeking them. I am, Mr. Editor,
Your very humble servant,
Ramsgate, Jan. 17. AN OFFICER OF THE R. M.
