Accounts from Havannah of a late date, state, that
at the Isle of Pines, the HussArt, ICA RUS, and SPEED-
WELL, were in search of a notorious pirate, who had
taken shelter in one of the numerous creeks of thit
island. Whilst engaged in this service, the boat of the
SPEEDWELL was fired into by the pirates, and the L;eu-
tenant, Midshipman, and several of the crew, were
killed. Captain HARRIS, with his squadron, had sur-
rounded the island, and it was understood had landed a
body of men, with a determination to capture the law-
less ruffians ; and every hope existed of the complete
success of the undertaking. It was supposed at the
Havannah, that a communication brought by Lieute-
nant IlossoN (of the LION) to the Governor of Cuba,
overland from Batabona, was to request his sanction
for landing a body of British seamen on the Isle of Pines,
in order effectually to destroy the nest of pirates that had
been formed there.
