Our commerce here is still much annoyed by the
censtant depredations and outrages epremitted by
nember of aimed schoenen. on West ladistmen ani

upon the small c'caft on the coast. In fist, the la.rer

of some slip of war, so mitt!' theaded :re the despe-
ra:'oss which man these pira:es. Tuey consist of rene-
gad .es of several nations, chiefly Creoles, Put tit guest.,
and 'r fr:leers from the c ails of South America and
the islands a Ijacent. _
Their vessels ate mostly— schooner rigged, carrying
from ei.sht tit twelve, or fon. tern. gnors besides they
have an immense quantity' of fire arms, which they ate
ahle,.in ease of • merginay, to put in req

connt orate number of hauls on board, which is gene.
rally not less than from seventy to a hundred men. ;it
boarding:each man is sul.ph-ed with a pike, or an axe,
besides hie customary fire aims; these, however, are
but seldom used, as they only attack such ships as t!•ey
are Convinced can make hut lit le or no te,istance; for
when they are pursu•d by an enemy of superior force,
they immechat• ly set ;ill theO- canvass, and scud for
some port ref rendez • us, which is g nerally on the
Spain-hi Main. • Their am:la_ity is carried to such
an exiamt th t they will tiequently run in dr ss off our
ports; and, in sight sometimes, of a regular ship of
war, plunder metchant vessels and sugar dreggers, the
crews of which, it re_istance is nude, fall victims to
their fereci; y. -
On the 13th instant, an instance of what I have been describing
took place.
An American merchant brig saled from the rivet
St. Lawrence, with a cargo of flour, staves, wood.
hoops, coals, &c. for the Bet mu:las : three weeks after
her diaaiture, she male •he east_ end of the Island of
Jamaica. and on the 1311 inst. came off a point of land
called " Care Catrientes," on the sou h side of this
i-land, about two o'clock in the afterntion. When about
three leagues from the land, and bearing W.S.W. a
was ciiscovered on the lee quarter, distant about foul
leagues. At first the Captain imagi:.ed it was an Eng.
lish merchant sh p, which was steering through the
Gulf, an.t consequently it ok ro particular notice of it,
but on finding th y neared him, and was making all
sa I, he west alolt, and with his glass cruld distinguish
that it was an armed scly:i n r, full of men, with a pita-
si. al flag flying at the m;zeti. In consequence of this
Captain Petty thought it advisable to alter his course
and make for this port, and every man on board exerted •
himself to the utmost, but unfortunately the ship rn.!•:e
.is much lee as head way, the wind on th: sirs
hoard how, and at the tlne Wowing a s t
ship go ng with her top-sails reefed. Hy this time ese
schooner was making fast upon them ; atsout five
dock; Captain Petty was cemp.:lled to the dreadful
Iternative of either forsaking his vessel and escaping
on shore with the crew in his boats, or to remain and
c .Itrily see his'ship pluedered by the enemy, for resist-
ance, wle-ti once they gain possession of her, would be
it,stant death.
After some deliberation with his Officers, the .Captain
ternsined on the latter c-er,e; at this titre the Ante-
liras) was only about a itagtu: and a hall fiorn the
