NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Extract of a letter from Captain Jowls, of the brig Leader,
d :red llavannah, February IS :—" On the 6th inst. in sight of
the Muro, I was boarded by a pirate, under the English flag,
with twelve men, armed with swords, pistols, and muskets:
they plundered and stripped me of everything, and one passenger
of everything but what he had on; Mrs. Jones was a little more
favoured, for they left her two changes of linen ; they threatened
our lives, and no doubt would have taken them, had it not been
for several vessels being close by; they even had the rope round
the passenger's neck, and were going to hang him, after having
robbed him of all he possessed—he was a native of Paris. The
pirates were all Spaniards except one, who, I believe was a
Frenchman: they were fitted out at this port, and only twelve
hours out.

OUTRAGES IN THE COUNTRY.

We lament to state that this county continues to
be the scene of nocturnal conflagration. Fires are
kindled in all directions, individuals are denounced,
and property threatened, not in the tone of vindictive
malice or despair, but in a spirit of bold and sys-
tematic defiance of authority and detection.
Monday evening, about eight o'clock, a file broke
out on the premises of Mr. Eastwich, of Combs, near
Stowmarket, which in a short time consumed about
seventy coombs of wheat and some barn implements,
his property. There is no doubt but it was occa-
sioned by an incendiary, against whose diabolical act
we understand none of the property was insured. The
fire was distinctly seen from Bury.
About a quarter before nine, on Thursday evening,
a most destructive fire broke out on the premises of
Mr. John Vesey, of Framsden. This conflagration
was uuly awful. A barn, three stables, two cart-
lodges, and other outhouses, appeared to burst into a
flame nearly at the same instant, and in less than two
hours every building except the dwelling-house, and
a neat-house at some little distance, were destroyed.,
The fire was so intense that great fears were enter-
tained for the dwelling-house, and for the opposite
premises (Mr. Freeman s). It is computed that 2000
persons were collected on this alarming occasion.—
The utmost anxiety was manifested to get the flames
under, and as there was a plentiful supply of water
the devastating element was confined to the out-
buildings. In the barn were 93 coombs of wheat,
threshed and unthreshed, and two coombs in sacks,
fifteen coombs of beans, two coombs of barley, the
produce of three acres of clover—a valuable brood
mare was burnt in one of the stables ; all the harness,
arid many implements of husbandry were destroyed.
There was great difficulty in getting the husbandry
horses out ut the stack-yard. (here is no doubt but
tie premises were maliciously set on fire.
Wednesday last two men went to the house of Mr.
ersey, farmer, at Gleniham, to ask for relief, but,
being refused, they were overheard by one of the la-
bourers to declare they would set fire to the premise,.
They were taken before Dr. Kilderbee, and ate both
committed to Woodbridge Bridewell till the next
Quarter Session.—lpswich Journal.

Three Drawing rooms are spoken of; the first is to take
