ATROCIOU'I PIR/ICY.

PAITTINM. Jezr 21.—A frightful event, which
makes all feeling minds tremble with honor, has
been for some day: the object of public commisera-
tion. A felucca, belonging to Pietro la C;tatera,
having several passengers on board, had set cut from
Melazzo for this city. Scarcely had it left the har-
bour, when it was assailed by a bark carrying six ar-
med pirates, who boatded the felucca, massacred the
Master and part of the sailors, and threw their bodies
overboard. In the mean time the other tailors had
thrown themselves into the sea, in the hopes of esca-
ping from the robbers. Freed thus from' the crew, the
pirates occupied themselves with the passengers, of
whom they spared none ; all received severe wounds.
—M. Isidore Ancet, a merchant, was slain, and his
body flung into the sea. Several others, including
many females, died ul tficir wounds. The pirates then
cut with their sabres the sails and other objects neces•
sary for navigation, that the felucca should necessa•
rily be sunk. l'hey pitiful-red the passengers of all
their effects and money, which amounted to the sum
'of about five thousand ounces, which, by mans of
their little bark, they pot on slime ; and then, in the
midst of the terrific spectacle, surrounded by the dead
and dying, they matte a repa.,t,iit which they devour-
ed the provisions that wire on hoard the felucca.
Alter this least they left the felucca, which they
abandoned to bet selt. The same day she found:: e,.:
on the coast of Pstaino. Out of 91 persons who had
embarked, only eight arrived here in spite of their
wounds. Of these, two have since died, and it is
feared that the others will not long survive.
It appears that the sanie assass ns who committed
this horti!de violence on Cute felucca of Pietro la Ca-
mera, had perpetrated a second outra t.i,e not less atro_
clods. The Captain, Don Bran, a Neapolitan, in a
little felucca, turned La fleneront, having eight
..sailors on board, sailed from Castellantare for Lion,
and thence to Tonenauzza. Alter having. kr 'sled
the first part of his voyage, he had hardly sailed from
Lipari, in the night of the 19th instant, when he was
assailed by several armed men on hoard a row boat.
After having fired several musket shots, the assassins
boarded the felucca, rnordend with sabres the Cap-
tain and two sailorr, and seized on all the property,
and one thousand ducats which the unfortunate Cap-
tain had brought from a sale at Lipari.
These robbers remained all night on board the
felucca. On the following day they removed from
the coast, carrying with them several uninnunate
passengers, whom they had not massacred, and whom
they destined to frightful torments. Fortunately the
master, Mario Savona, excited by the cries of these
unfortunates, was enabled to come to their assistance.
' He seized on the pirates, who are now actually in the
hands of justice.

Persons who think that a residence in France is a
complete security against arrest for debts contracted
in England, will read with interest the following true
statement. The son of an English Nobleman retired
to France some time ago, in consequence of pecuniary
embarrassments. He was met there by a Frenchman,
M. BRUNZT, who had kept a Isetel in Leicester.square,
to whom he owed a debt contracted in his house.—
This hotel-keeper had made a considerable fortune
here, and had received letters of denization, nn the
purchase of considerable estates. The English Gentle-
man was arrested on the leth of February lost, at the
suit of this hotel-keeper, for the debt contracted in
England, and thrown into a miserable gaol, in a
provincial town of France, amnrig the lowest vaga-
b 'ads imprisoned for all sorts of offences. In vain
was bail tendeted for bis appearance to answer the
suit By ttie new law, no bail can be riven without
the assent of the creditor, it being the maxim, that
" i.e debirtur qui peat se promener ne paye Jannis."
He has occiudiugly lain ever since in this miserable
place. The case has come on before the Civil Court
,:t the district. The defendant pleaded first, that the
debt was contracted in England, and that therefore
the Court had not jurisdiction. This was overruled
on the plea that ti,e question wAs, whether the debt
was due to a Frenchman, not where the debt was con-
tracted. But the defendant p!eaded secondly, that
the plaintiff was not a Frenchman, he having in his
appli,:atinn to the British Government renounced his
allcOance to France, and declared his desire of becom-
ing a subject of the King of Great Britain, and that
by his letters of dsuizatinn he had actually become
so. These letters of denizsitinn were put in as pro^f.
To this it was answered, that a Frenchman could not
withdraw his allegiance from his nwn Sovereign, and
declared M. BRUNET to he still a French silbject.l
The English Gentleman therefore continues immured
in the French prison, and all applications to our Am-
bassador and Consul, as well as to the Commander-
in.Chief of the Allied trotps in France for interference,
have failed.

At an early hour yesterday ralrning the house
occupied by Nicholls, the Bow-street officer. in Pal-
mer's Village, Westminster, was discoverod to he on
fire. The flames were soon extinguished ; but Mrs.
Nicholls was dreadfully scorched, and carried to the
Westminster Infirmary by her husband.
An accident of a serious nr.tnre occurred at Rei-
gate, on Wednesday. A detachment of the Wagnon
Train, escorted by a part, of the 10th Hussars, were
on their rout. for Drighton ; when one of the privates
fell, iu consequence oi his sword getting between his
legs ; while he was on the Lround, one of the wag.
Bons passed over him and broke both his legs. At
the .an time one of the train drivers was thrown
from his horse ; and the animal began kicking and
plunging, and broke several of the poor fellow's ribsr
The two men were conveyed to the nearest public.
house, in a most dangerous state.
Iscuarrs.—Yesterday an Inquest was held at the
Blakeney's Head, High-street, Poplar, on the body
'of T.,Bawder, a boy, six years and a half old. The
mither.stated, that about three weeks ago he bad
been dreadfully beatereby another boy ; since which
he had lingered until the !hour of his death. On
opening the head, however, it appearecrthat there
was water on the brain ; and the surgeon being of
opinion that he died of this disease, the Jury returned
a verdict—Died by the Visitation of GOD.
Another Inquest was held yesterday, at the Mid.
dlt!sex Hospital, on the body of J. Toome, a brick.
layer, on Saturday last, in erofing a plank with'
some bricks, at a house in Old Cavendish.street,
slipped elf and fell into the area, by which he was so
o uch hurt that he died on Tut sdßy. 4erdict—Ac-
