To Mrs. JOHNSON, Proprietor of
THE AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP,
No 94, Newman4treet, OxforsLetreet, London.
MA6AM Having experienced the blessed
effects of your Syrup on two of my children, I beg
you to insert the case of one, on whom it bad the most ex-
traordinary effects. My child, who' is two years and a half
old, has been suffering under every species of debility ever sidee
it was six months old, owing to the extreme difficulty of cutting
her teeth, so much so, that a total waste of flesh and distortion
of the joints, rendered the child incapable of being moved
without a pillow, at the same time having irons on her legs
to prevent their getting more distorted; when, directed by
Paovuxmcz, I was recommended to apply to you for the Syrup,
which, after using two or three days, my child appeared to re-
ceive fresh life and strength, and however singular it may appear,
after using only sac .13ottk if the Syrup, I was enabled to take
the irons from her legs, and shortly after she became perfectly
restored. Every enquiry as to the truth of the above will be
cheerfully answered, by your most obedient servant,

NORFOLK (VIRGINIA), JITNR 19. ,
On Saturdarlast, five seamen, who had come up
from the beach near Currituck Inlet, stopped at a tA•
vern a short distance beyond the draw-hi idge, where
they deposited their baggage, and came into town:
They reported that they belonged to an English brig
bound from New providence to Liverpool, which bad
foundered off the coast of North Carolina; but, among
other circumstances, that of their having each a con-
siderable number of Spanish dollars, which they.car-
ried about them quilted in belts, led to a belief that li
they had been engaged in some piratical enterprize ;
and yesterday our vigilant Chief Magistrate issued his
warrant to have them brought up for examination,
and, accordingly, Thomas Jones, John Radcliff Chas.
Rogers, alias Nicholas Wilcom, Philip Pierce, and Na-
than Smith, were conducted into Court.

Nathan Smith, a native of Belfast, State of Maine;
was summoned as a witness in the case, and, being
worn, stated, that he shipped at New-York, in the
ship Curiazo, bound to Buenos-Ayres, where she
remained two months. He was then compelled
(haliiig no money) to enter on board the ship Union,
a Patriot privateer ; remained on board the Union six-
months ; was sent in a Spanish prize to Buenos.
Ayres. He then shipped in the Patriot brig General
Rondeau, Capt. David Miles, and sailed on a cruize.'
He detailed the transactions on the cruize, which ex-
tended
to the coasts of Spain and Portugal, and in
the Mediterranean. They returned through the
Straits, and proceeded to the West Indies. The wit-
ness then stated as follows :—‘, The Captain (Miles)
used the men very ill ; and the day after we passed
the island of Barbadoes; the crew mutinied, and rose
upon the Officers. I was below at the time the mu-
tiny took place, being a little intoxicated. I heard
a gi eat noise upon deck, as of a number of people in
a scuffle, and now and then the clashing of swords.
It immediately occurred to me that the crew were
engaged in massacreing the officers, and, on going
on deck the next morning, I had but ton good
grounds for my suspicions. The deck was sprinkled
with blood, and six officers, viz. Capt. David Miles,
Second Lieut. M'Sweeny, the Captain of Marines,
Serjeant of Marines, Purser, Masier's Mate, and four
privates of Marines were missing, and several of the
crew on board severely wounded. I was informed
that the Officers and Marines who were missing were
sent away in a boat. This-happened about twelve
miles from an island, the name of which I was ig-
norant of. The crew then took charge of the pri-
vateer, and appointed Robinson, the gunner, Captain,
hailed the prize-brig, which was still in company,
and told the prize-master to to where he pleased.—
Shifted our course for the United States, and in two
days made land; we then stood for Charleston, and,
threc days after, put three men on board an English
brig, and paid the Captain for their passage to Eng-
land 20 bags of sugar. Three days after, spoke a sloop
bound to New York ; wanted to put some of our men
on board of her, but the wind blew too hard : two
days after, spoke an American schooner, from Savan-
nah for Boston, and put 13 or 15 more of our men on
board of her, paying 20 bags of sugar for their passage.
Next day made the land again, which proved to be
the coast of North Carolina, when fifteen or sixteen
of the stoutest men remaining on board turned to
and plundered the privateer of everything valuable,
which they carried ashore with them in a boat, and
abandoned the General- Rondeau, leaving me and
thirteen more on board. Robinson (the Captain) then
proposed to run into Wilmington, and give the pri-
vateer up to the United States, which was determined
on. Off the bar we were boarded by a pilot, who re-
mained on board two days, when he left us, and went
ashore with Robinson, and five of the crew. We were
then chased two days by an United States' revenue-
cutter, and escaped in a heavy salt. The General
Rondeau leaked very badly for two or three days
after the gale, and as soon as we got her within
twenty or thirty miles of land we scuttled her, a..-d
took to the boat, bringing with us only our clothes.
We landed on Currituck-beach at night, where we
found lodgings, and the next morning proceeded on
to Blackwater in a boat, and there hired three carts
to bring us to Norfolk."
The money which these men had, they say, was,
taken out of one of the feluccas captured up the Straits.
One states the sum taken to have been 6000 dollars,
and another 14,000 dollars ; but the whole was di-
vided amongst the crew after the mutiny. A few
bales of cochineal were also taken out of the felucca,
which were on board the General Rondeau when they
abandoned her. The amount found upon the pri-
soners is 9272 dollars,- 25 cents, which has been de-
posited in the United States' Bank.. There are two
more of the par ty who came ashore at Currituck, but
they were lett on the road from Blackwater, being
too unwell to travel.

After a patient examination of nearly five hours,
the prisoners were all committed to jail.
Smith, whose deposition is given above, is the only
American of the party. The rest are all Englishmen.
It is also stated, that the crew of the brig was com-
posed chiefly of English and Spaniards, or natives
of South America. Robinson, and his five compa-
nions, who left the privateer off Wilmington Bar,
have been apprehended at Smithville, North Caro-
lina, and four out of the fifteen or sixteen who had
previously left her, are also in custody at Wilining-
ton, North Carolina. This intelligence we have from
the Wilmington Recorder of the 10th instant, received
by yesterday's Mail.
CHARLESTON (SOUTH CAROLINA), JUNE 14.
The particulars of the piratical proceedings of the
seamen now iR confinement at Georgetown and this
place are gradually developing. A- letter received
yest;rday from the former place states, that one of
the six in confinement there has turned States' evi-
dence, that much property belonging to them has
been seized, and that several of their accomplices
:.ave escaped into the interior.
j One of those con Anett here (the boy), who states.

that his name is John Sleek, and :hat he is from Sun-
derland, in England, asserts that they are a part of
! the crew of tile Buenos-Ayrean brig of war General
Itondeati, lately command& by David L. M. Miles,
a Baltimore ; that they have been cruizing in the
Mediterranean, where a.boy of the name of Perkins,
of Boston, was landed upon an island by Captain
Miles. It will be remembered by our readers, that
this vessel hoarded, on the 11th of April, off Cape
Palos, in the Mediterranean, the ship Garonne, which
arrived at Neiz York on the 26th, from Trieste, and re-
quisted to bo repOrted.

NEW YORK, JUNE 21.
FATE OF THE PILOT-BOAT -PATIHOT.-It will be
recollected by many of our readers, that during the
late war with England, the above-named pilot-boat
was dispatched to Charleston for the purpose of
bringing to this city Mrs. Allston, Lady of the then
Governor of South Carolina, and daughter of Colonel
burr, formerly Vice-President of the United States.
Mrs. Allston was in a delicate state of health at the
time, and unable to travel by land. Timothy Greene,
Esq. of this city, an intimate friend of Governor All-
sto'n's family, proceeded to Charleston in the pilot-
boat, for the purpose of accompanying Mrs. Allston
'on the voyage. From the time they embarked and
sailed from Charleston, no tidings whatever had been
heard of the vessel or any one on board. It was ait
first supposed that the vessel must have been cap-
tured by a British cruizer, hut, after a lapse of time,
that hope was abandoned. Notwithstanding the
weather was mild and favourable for several days af-
ter the vessel left Charleston, and such as to render
her loss mysterious, up to the present time no other
idea of the melancholy circun!stance had prevailed
than that the vessel must have foundered at sea, or
run under during a chase.
But the mystery is at length developed. For the
honour of human nature it were to be wished that
the'facts had never been revealed, and that the fol-
lowing horrible tale had been buried with the vile
wretches who .told it :—A Gentleman recently from
New Orleans, has communicated to a friend of the
late Mr. Green, that two of the pirates lately sen-
tenced to suffer death at New Orleans, confessed
that they composed part of the crew of the above
pilot-boat Patriot ; that, after being at 'sea two or
three days, and near the shore, they rose upon the
Captain and passengers, and confined them below ;
when they stood close in shore, and after plundering
the passengers of a considerable sum of money and
plate, belonging mostly to Mrs. Allston, they then
launched the boat and scuttled the vessel, which
soon filled and went down, with the unfortunate in. "
mates confined below ! The dreadful tragedy was
performed in the dead of night. These wretches
succeeded in reaching the shore with the boat, and
had thus far escaped detection and punishment lot
this horrible crime.

NEAPOLITAN. REVOLUTION.

(Frozi the CGurier Fninfois.) •
The Revolution in Naples has discovered to us
names with which hitherto we were not acquainted,
or which were altogether unknown to us ; but the
part whichis performed at this moment by Generals
Pepi, Fila gieri, Caras'cosa, and the Duke of Campo.
Chiaro, gives them the assurance of celebrity through-
out Europe, and must excite a desire to be better ac-
quainted with them. We shall endeavour to satisfy it.
King Ferdinand IV. has in his Army two brothers
of the name of Pepi, both Generals; one of them is
only remarkable by his figure and countenance. The
other, who has nothing extraordinary in his face or
stature, was yet known for his distinguished bravery ;
he h.'d his chest pierced in battle by a ball; the
wound had left him a weak constitution and a me-
lancholy and silent. character; nothing announced
that he was the man destined to play the political
part that report assignsto him in,theevents at Naples.
Filangieri, the son of the celebrated Priest of the
same name, is a distinguished Officer of singular
merit. He was educated in a Lyceum in France;
he began by serving as an Officer in the French Army,
and distinguished himself by many striking actions :
in one action he took a standard from the enemy ; in
another, he was one of the first to enter a redoubt, of
which he made himself master. General Filangic ri
has received several wounds; the last he received at
the head of the Neapolitan troops, whom he endea-
voured to encourage by his personal valour. But
bravery was not contagious among the' troops he
commanded, and the soldiers of Filangieri were more
dismayed at his wound than animated by his cou-
rage. This wound for a long time endangered his
lite, but his youth and the vigour of his constitution
prevailed. He has since obtained, by man iage, the
title of. the Prince of Satriano, and a fortune valued
at 80,000 ducats (350,000 francs,or 1.34,000 sterling)
a year.

Carascosa, a child of the Army, is the son of a
Captain, who was. formerly in the service of Ferdi-
nand IV. The young Carascosa. took part for the
liberty of Naples in 1798, and was among the inhabi-
tants who retired into the fort Del Ovo ; the capitne'
lation of which was not respected. Nearly all
perished on the scaffold, against the laws of humor
and of war, and in violation of sworn faith. Caras-
cosa succeeded in escaping, and lived in obscurity
till the return of the French to the kingdom of Napes
in 1806; he then entered into the new Army, and
was Chef de Bailaillou in the first Regiment of the
Neapolitan line, when teat Regiment received an or-
der to repair to Spain in the month efJune, 1808.
He was wounded at the head of that Corps in 1809.
In the attack in which General Filangi•Ai was wounds
ed, Carascosa, thrown from his horse, almost perished,
while making the same efforts, and giving the saw.
example to encourage the troops.
This Gcneral.is esteemed a soldier, but he has hula
information ; his temper is glooniy and almost
savage ; he conceals, under an apparent calmness, a
0104041ribition; but he knows how ,to wait for an
_13.4; and prepare with 4eliberation whet he
