The aas of piracy committed by r, encli privateers
on the Amdrican trade have excited a fpirit if gene-
ral indignation throughout the United States. To
the numerous inflances of this atrocious nature we
have had occaflon to notice, awe have now to add the
following:—" The (hip Hope, Capt. WATSON, be
longing to New York, laden with lnrnhcr and a very
fmall quantity of provitions, failed from that port
early in November for Savannahlt-Mar,lamaica, and
upon the 224 of November, in the Tui.'s Mild par
Page, was fallen in with by a French khooncr
priva-
teer Amity, Captain Qyri.srr, who b. arced and ex-
amined her pagers, took poliefGon cf the vcCel,
de-
elart:d her a lawful- prize, and orchred her fir the
city of St. Domingo. The next day they fell in with
the fthooner Betfey, Capt. HAMMOND, .tiro of New
York, bound for Jamaica, on board of which they put
Captain Wersow, Mate, and fix feamen, notwith-
llandigg Captain Warsori's eat neft tequell to he per-
mitted to proceed thither in Lis Thin or the privateer,
to he prefent at the trial."
The Spina ft:tiers in Louis ty no mean:

Difputes continually prevail between es'e Spaniards
and Americans at New ()titans ; and the former, in
one inflance, have been guilty of the Imprudence of
attempting to refill the execution of the laws of the
United States, which have been eltablith:d as the
code of that newly acquired province.

In the Court of King's Bench, a COnfiderablo part
Of yetterday WAS occupied with argum,:nts in the
cafe of Admiral Sir H. Haaysv v. Captain MILNI..
It was an adtion to recover the Flag-eighth of cer•
tain captures made by the Defendant, the Captain of
la Pique ; but a point of law ariting at the ttial, the
cafe was left for argument. The Las were, that
la Pique being flationed off Demerara, the Go-
verner of that fettlement prevailed upon Cair 1:n
Milne to convoy a fleet of merchantmen trn•m
thence to St. Kitt's, where it was fuppoted the De-
fendant would have received further orders front
Admiral Harvey, who was the flag Officer upon the
Leeward lfland Nation; but Capt. Milne, alter wait•
ing fome time at St. Kitt's, and receivio,,,, uo orders,
anxious for the fafety of the fleet, which was very
valuable, made himfelf refponfiblc ter his conduel,
and proceeded to England with the convoy without
orkrs. At the entrance of the Channel be made leve.
ral captures, and the queflion was, whether the plain•
tiff was entitled to his'eighth of the iu izes fo made ?
It was very ably argued by Mr. D,INCEY for Ad-
miral Hariey, and Mr. Kim. for Mr. Cook, the
Agent for the Captain.
The Court thought, as Captain Milne had acted
without orders from his fuperior thEcer, it could
not be faid that Admiral Hervey was dilating
and Ailing in the captures he afterwaids made ;
nor indeed an any relpal privy thereto, which he
was obliged to be by his Majedy's Proclamation
before he would be entitled to his eighth Ihare.—
It was true the Defendant had taken upon him:ill a
deep refponlibility ; but it alfo appeared that his mo-
tives were fltiElly honourable, And the Lords of the
'Admiralty had approved his condo 1. The Court
*as therefore of opinion that the Plaintiff was not en.
titled to recover.
Ma•. Scaat.ETT moved for an information, in the
nature of a oo Warranto, calling on Thomas Tour-
ney; Efq. to l,ew by wha: authority he claimed to
be Mayor of Urdu, in Lt.: County of Kent.—
Granted.
