It appears from a notification of the British Con-

General of France in London, the Authorities of
Havre, in future, will prevent all English subjects
landing or proceeding from that port, unless fur-
nished with passports either. front him, from the
French Ambassador, or Sons the Consular Agents at
Portsmouth or Southampton.
Captain Granger, of the Radius, who left Ma-
tanzas on the 12th ult. informs us that two United
States barges, under the command of Lieutenants
Watson and Inman, have succeeded in capturing a
piratical vessel, and destroyed and made prisoners of
the crew, about 40in number. The vessel captured
is a schooner of 74 to 80 tons, and was foufid lying
at anchor is Wapping Bay, about ten leagues W wind-
ward of Matanzas. As the barges approached her,
she got under way, and commenced firing upon them.
When the barges had got within about 50 yards of
the schooner, the crews gave three cheers, upon which
most of the crew of the pirate jumped overboard,
and endeavoured to swim ashore, but were pursued
by the barges, and about 20 to 95 of them were shot
in the water. Of those who reached the shore, seven
were taken by the Captain of the District, and marched
to Matanzas, where they remained in prison, when
the Radius sailed.—The schooner was also taken by
the barges—she bad been employed as a droger from
Matanzas, and was captured by the pirates about 15
days before, when on the way from Havannah, with a.
valuable cargo, which had not yet been discharged.
The pirates had just completed arming her for cruis-
ing, with a long tom on a swivel, and two tong six
pounders. Her commander was well known by the
name of Link Devils he was killed in the action. A
large barge, which the pirates had stolen, was along-
side the schooner, and was also captured. The prise
was pot to Key West, two days before Captain Gran-
ger left Matanzas. Letters from Matanzas confirm
the above statement in substance, but differ a little
as to particulars. One of them states that there were
60 pirates on board the schooner, five of whom were
taken on board by the barges, 27 killed, and seven
taken on the shore by the inhabitants. Captain Scrib.
ner, from Havana:us, informs that two United States
schooners arrived at that port oti the 14th inst. and
brought information of the above capture. They re-
ported that 22 of the pirates were •killed, and sit
,taken alive. AU the rest escaped. • • - • .
