PIRATES:—The following is an extract of a let-
ter ft out Bombay, dated the 10th of November :
" The depredations committed by the pirates in
the Persian Gulph are of the most daring de-
scription ; they respect no flag ; but they have
received a check, which will make them more
cautious in future. His Majesty's brig Curd
lew arrived here a few days ago, after haring
had a brush with those marauders. On com-
ing. through the Gul ph she was attacked by no-
less than 15 large armed boats, baying on board
about 160 men each. They hoisted the bloody flag
and commenced the engagement in the most de-
tertnioed manner. The Captain of .the brig gave
them a taste of grape, and it was hard fighting
for five boors, when they began to sheer off;
however, he succeeded in capturing seven ; three
were sunk, and the rest escaped.'. One expeditiou
has sailed from hence against them, • and another
is now fitting out, tVe...bave at present lyit g
here the Bombay Merchant, Sarah, Swallow,
Orion, Thames, and, Regent. Wile old Governor
of this place sailed-.for England a few days since.
•Our acconncs from the in:eriorof• the country ate
rather alarming.; . the-natives again seem in a state
• for war, and nearly. the whole of the-European
soldiets are leaving this Presidency to embark np
the country. We had a great fire here ten nights
back, which boa dune considerable damage. Our
accounts from China are up to the end of August,
at which time ell was quiet, but the markers were
uncommonly dull. - From Bengal to October 26,
we learn that the. heat had been excessiie, but
the cholera morbus bad been slight, Several un-
pleasant skirmishes had taken place in the intea
rior. A letter from Biltaiit states that the pi-
rates • become. more daring eve's, day, and com-
mitted horrid depredation. The Dutch troops arc
very discontented, owing to some new arrange-
ments of-the Governor."
