PIRACIES IN THE MEDITERRANEAN.—The follow-
ing letter, from 010:611 HANIILTON, of his Majesty's
ship CAMBRIAN, has been received from the Agent
to Lloyd's at Smyrna :
1, His Majesty's ship Cambrian, Smyrna, July 2.
" I am sorry to inf:.rin you, that I learnt at Hydra
that several men, who had entirely thrown off the
little obedience which their Primate before hard held
them in, had manned some boats and a schooner, and
were gone to sea to cruize as pirates against all na:
dons. Although the schooner has been captured by
the boats of this ship in the Gulf of Eguia, I think it
right to warn you such boats are out, and to recom-
mend our merchant-ships sho'uld be cautious in al-
lowing small boats to approach them. I have left a
sloop of war cruizing from the Gulf of Salonica to'
Cet igo; and the captured schooner, manned from this
ship, and commanded by my First Lieutenant, exa-
mining the creeks from Negroponte to Salonica, in
search of pirate-boats.—l am, &c.

Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at
Barcelona, dated 28th June:
" The French cruizers,ienerally five or six, continue off this
port, and bring-to every foreign vessel, which, if loaded, they',
torbid to enter, and escort them past, either to the Westwaidl
or Eastward; for the present they allow them to proceed to
Tarragona with their cargoes. On Wednesday last, 17 or .18'
French vessels, deeply laden, passed this
.port to the West-
ward,
under convoy of a brig of war. From this place only one
privateer has been fitted out, but several from Nlahtin, which
r have taken many prizes, chiefly laden with oil. On the 19th ar-
rived here, from Leghorn, the English schooner Elizabeth, Ma-
: hotly ; she, was brought-to by a French brig and a schooner of
war; they desired the Master to alter his course, but on mani-
festing the great prejudice such a measure would cause him,
be:n7 chartered, and only in ballast, after three hours' deten-
tion; they allowed him to enter.—The French force that now
blockades this port consists of one ship of the line, three frigates,
two brigs, and one schooner."

frigate, and manned by her, for the 7urpose of cruising on the
rtlorea coast, &c.—By letters from Smyrna, of the sth instant,
his Majesty's ships Csataxlxic, HIND, and Mrnmv, have sailed
on a cruise."
