A AL lriritucENck.
" :
Ills Molest?. schooner graaesrav was prevented from being
captured by pirates by the Pead'ock American sloop of war,
they afterwards jointly took four piratical vessels, and one of
their prizes. The following account of the transaction waf re-
ceived this morning at Ltamo's :

Ltvzaront., Nov. 14.—The brig Warren arrived at Charleston
on the evening of the 14th October from Matanzas in four days,
and reported, that the SPIEDVIELL British vessel of war, com-
manded by Lieutenant GIANT, had attacked four piratical ves-
sels off San Juan de los Runidros' near Cape San Antonio, and
overpowered by numbers, would have been taken, had not the
Peacock, United States sloop of viar fortunately come to her
assistance, when the pirates made their escape to the shore, but
the four vessels, together with one of their prizes, were captured.
The Sybil, from Liverpool to Charleston, was robbed on the
30th of September, by a piratical brig.
FALAIOUTH, Nov. 14.--Wind W.S.W.—Arrived, the Apollo,
Mazarwirxruzz, from Bristol to Demerara; and the :Maidstone,
RA Len,from Lisbon.

•
Pl.rstoons, Nov. 14.—Wind W.S.W.—Arrived from Lon-
don, the Coromandel, for Jamaica; the Barrow, for Trieste;
and Fortune, for Lisbon.
Pottramouvn, Nov. 15.—Wind W.S.W.—Tt has blown a very
hard gale at W. and W.S.W. nearly the whole of this day, with
heavy squalls. Two brigs at Spithead drove during the height
of the gale, but no damage has been done, and the outward-
bound appear to remain in safety. -
DEAL, Nov. 15.—Wind W. by S.—Came down from the
River last night the Hector, Ilowtativ, for Jamaica; and Jane,
for Cadiz. Arriyed and remain the Faroe, ALt.zo, from the
South Seas; Reynolds, !Imam, from I.isbon ; and Albion, STE-
rucosoo, from Honduras. Put hack the Thisbe, for Jamaica,
St. Vincent's. and llemerata, and remains in the Downs with
the rest of the outward-bound, apparently 411 well.
DuaLto, Nov. 15.—A large sltip, which the crew had de-
serted, supposed to be about 700 tons burden, has been driven
on shore upon the lauds of Murray, near Roundstown Bay.—
The country people have so plundered her that her name cannot
be made out ; but it is said she is the Louisa, from Quebec or
Montreal—others say, the Earl of Buckingham. A private letter
was found, from Joua and Bemv Royce, dated the 7th of Sep-
tember, 1822, at Montreal, directed to " Miss Jenny Jordan;
to the care of the itev. Mr. Young, Lochnahar." The cargo
consists principally of timber and staves.
IMPORTANT TO SHIP-OWNERS.'

The following letter has been received by the Chairman of the
Ship Owners' Society :

Admiralty Office, November 15,182 e.

" Sir—My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty having re-
ceived several representations as to the incoswenietice which the
maritime trade of this country might suffer, if the law prohibiting
merchant vessels from using any- of the colours appropriated to
his Majesty's ships were to he strictly enforced, without the al-
lowance of a reasonable time for making the nee sssss y arrange-
ments for altering the Signals now in use among merchant ves-
sels, their Lordships have been, in consequence, pleased to sign
a warrant, which they trust will obviate any present inconve-
nience ; and will allow full time to the Ship Owners to substitute
other colours in lieu of Pendants and the Union Jack.

" The use of the Jack, as a signal for a pilot, was alrealy au-
thorised by their Lordships' warrant of the IGth of September
lASI ; hut in order to bring the whole subject into one view, their
Lordships have thought fit to repeat their permissimi in the new
warrant, which will appear in the Carztk of to-morrow night,
and of which I now inclose you a copy.
" I am, Sir, your very obedient servant.
J.W. Buckle, Esq. Mark•laue. " J. W. CROKER.."
COPY OF WARRANT INCLOSED.

" By the Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High
Admiral of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, &c. &c.
" Whereas by his late %Majesty's Royal Proclamation. hearing
date the first day of January, 1801, and by divers Statutes now
in force, his Majesty's subjects are prohibited from hoisting, car-
rying, or wearing, in any of their ships or vessels, his Majesty's
Jack, commonly called the Union Jack, or any Pendants, or
such colours as are usually worn by his Maja,ty's ships, without
particular warrant for their So doing front his Majesty, or hi,
High Admiral of Great Britain, or tlt:! Commissioners for exe-
cuting the office of High Admiral for the time being.
" And whereas it has been represented to us, that the Union
Jack, hoisted at the top-mast-head (or foretop-mast head of ves-
sels having more then one mast), is a general and well-under-
stood signal for a pilot, which it would be inexpedient at pre-
sent to alter.

" We do therefore, by virtue of the power and authority vested
in us, hereby warrant and authorize all his Majesty's subjects to
hoist the Union Jack at the top-mast-bead of their ships or ves-
sels, where there is but one mast, or at the foretop-mast-head
whom there are.nsfire than one mast, as a signal for a pilot; but
strictly prohibiting the wearing or hoisting the said Jack for
any other purpose whatsoever, or longer than is necessary for
procuring a pilot.
- - - -

" And ss hereas the proper flags, which by the slid Proclama-
tion the ships and vessels of his Majesty's subjects are authorised
to wear, are not sufficient to enable them to make signals with-
out the addition of some other colours, We do further warrant
and authorize all his Majesty's subjects to hoist on board their
ships and vessels, by way of signal only, any colours (except
Pendants and the Union Jack) provided such colours shall not
be heisted in the place where similar colours are usually worn
in his Majesty's ships and vessels.
" And whereas it has been represented to us, that certain
signals have been heretofore established and agreed upon, and
are now in use amongst his Majesty's subjects, wherein Pendants
and the Union Jack are employed, and that it would be Inexpe-
dient to prohibit the use of the said signals, until reasonable time
for substituting some other description of colours, in lieu of the
Pendants and the Union Jack, he allowed.
" We do further warrant and authorise all his Majesty's sub-
jects to hoist and use, fur signals only, Pendants and the Union
Jack, until the first of January, 1824, and no longer; upon and
after which day no Pendant is, under any pretence whatsoever,
to be hoisted in the ships or vessels of any of his Majesty's sub-
jects ; nor the Union Jack, except only as before provided, as
the signal for a pilot.
" Given under our hands, and the seal of the Office of Admi-
ralty, this 15th of November, 1822.
Signed) " 131 ELV I L LE,

We are happy to learn that retrenchment, which
has been so long and so justly called for in our Colo•
nial Establishments, has at length commenced in
Canada. No reduction, however, gives more satis-
faction than that of 20s. per day, which is taken from
the office of Deputy Quartermaster-General. This
sum was allowed under the denomination of viper-
intending the Military Settlement for Emigrants.—
Them is still, however, plenty of room for reduction
in Upper Canada. There are now only two regi-
ments in the Province, the 66th and 76th, and yet
there is an Assistant-Quartermaster and an Assistant
Adjutant-General with each an establishment. Surely
thee ought to be abolished.
An affray took place in Brogue-lane, in this town,
on Thursday se'unight. in which a man of the name
of John Dunn, a hatter, was mortally wounded with
a bayonet, and languished in great misery for some
days, when lie expired. It is said that the unfor-
tunate man had, on this occasion, merely pursued
his brother, who was drunk, in order to prevent
his engaging in a quarrel with a man of the name
of Leary, by whom he had been beaten some days
before, but, on arriving in the neighbourhood of
Luary's house, he was assailei "as well as his brother,
who was also greatly beaten. Leary was a yeoman, ,
and the desperate use of hi; bayonet on this occasion,
strews the imprudence of allowing arms to remain in
the possession of men of this deAription after they
have been put off permanent duty. Leary has ab-
scondesit—Ttnlce Paper.

SPORTING LV TELLIGENCE.

RANDALL AND MARTIN.

This fight is off, in consequence of Mr. Elliott, the backer of
Spring and Martin, having sent a letter to Mr. Jackson, the
stakeholder, to return hint the X5OO. A meeting took place
yesterday at Mr. Jackson's Rooms, in Bond-street, at which 'l'.
Belcher and Neat attended, also Randall and Josh. Hudsor.
The milling coves are all in an uproar at such unhandsome treat-
ment. Neate likewise had an intimation that he would not re-
ceive the forfeit of pl5O. To Neate and Randall it is a serious
injury, they both having left established businesses, and having
now their training and incidental expenses to pay out of their own
pockets. It was the opinion of several amateurs yesterday, that
such sort of huntlns.thag must be stopped ; it is quite a new fea-
ture in the prize ring to draw or sue tor money_before the event
conies off. Randall and Neate expressed theißTelves warmly on
the subject, and said they would make a point of exposing such
conduct in every sporting circle. Randall left Bond-street for
Hampstead quite in a rage. Neate also declared, that if he bad
received the £l5O, the loss of time and the expenses of training
would swallow it all up.
