The Parthian, Hon: Captain Bari ingtnn, arrived at
Plymouth on Monday se'nnight. She left England on
the Ist of May, with dispatches for Mexico, and on her
arrival at Campeachy, on the 16th of June, she received
information of a piratical schooner being on the cna t,
between the latter place and Vera Cruz, and of her
having, only a few days before, taken au English mer-
chant ship, and in the most inhuman manner murdered
all her crew. Captain Barrington immedicely sailed
in pursuit, and kept in share as close as was consistent
with the safety of the brig, on the look out for the pi-
rate. The Parthian grounded once, but was soon got
off again, and apparently without having sustained any
damage. The following morning, at dawn of day, a
schooner, answering the description of the
pirate,
was
observed steering after the Pal thian, under all sail, ao
doubt taking her for a defenceless merchaiernan, and
thinking soon to have a good prize. To keep up the
deception, the Parthian was disguised so as to look like
a merchant brig, and to prevent her going the (nigh the
water too fast, the end of the chain cable was towed
overboard, also a hawser, e i h the trawl head irons fast
to the end of it, which all had the desired effect ; for the
schooner came s' ithin two miles of the Pat Chian hefore
she discovered her mistake, when she made all sail
for the land (then in sight); the Parthian crowded all
sail after her; the breeze being light rather ftvouied
the pirate, who occasionally made u e of his sweeps.
—The Parthian, however, after an anxious chase of,five
hours, got her within gun-shet, when the pirate, seeing
it was impossible to escape, ran the vessel on shore.
The Parthian anchored in two fathoms and a half out-
side the pirate, and Captain Barrington immediately
dispatched all his boats after her; the pirates seeing
them coming, set fire to their vessel and escaped on
shore loaded with booty. The Nubian's boats soon
boarded her, extinguished the the before it reached the
magazine, and brought her off. A party went along
shore in search of the pirates, and also into the woods,
but were unable to come up with them. The pirate
schooner proved to be the San Jose, armed with a long
gust raidships, two smaller ones, and a quantity of
small arms. On board her was found a list of the crew
of the English vessel Shannon, sixteen in number, and
Other papers belonging to the English brig Pilgrim, be-
sides several flags, sextants, spy-glasses, and a great
quantity of wearing apparel, all of wnich was Englis);
Ithe crews of the above vessels had doubtless been mur-
dered by these villains. The schooner was taken to
Vera Cruz, and there commissioned by Captain Bar-
rington as a man ( t 'war to protect the trade in that
quarter. Mr. Bradily, an old passed Midshipman, and
a very deserving young man, was appointed as acting
Lieutenant to command her. The Parthian left Vera
Cruz on the 20th of July.
