Pisa's.— A letter front Kingston, Jamaica, dated November
te,says—'• While fishing off Principi, the sloop Eleanor (arrived at

noe, full of met), apparently Spaniards, and robbed of provisions,
terry, and seamen's clothing, to the value of £lOO. Capt. Rum
reports that the sloop 'Pen Sisters, of the same port, and schooner
Lucca,of Lucca, were also plundered by the same villains. The
shop Maria, DALY, had likewise returned to Montego Bay from
the Turtling Keys, having met with aimilar treatment. The schooner
Sword Fish arrived at Montego Bay on Saturday ; when coming
through the Passage, in sight of Cumberland Harbour, at seven A.X.
on the preceding day, saw a schooner of very suspicious appearance
which fired a musket into the Sword Fish, and hailed to know front.
whence she came and where bound : six or seven men only ap-
peared on deck when they first bore down on the Sword Fish ; but
immediately on firing of the musket, there appeared at once as many
men as the deck could well hold. From the wind blowing fresh, and
a heavy swell being on, she relinquished the attempt to board."
