=TRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER, DATED CURAgOA,
SEPTEMBER 29.
" The schooner Two Friends, of this port, was taken posses-
don of on Saturday, on ha passage from Aruba to this island,
by the Spanish privateer Fameso Indiana, which sailed hence
last week, and passed us with her prize on Sunday, supposed
bound to Porto Cabello.
4 It is reported that these marauders intend to capture all
vessels having produce on board which may be expected to have
been exported from places in possession of the Colombians,
notwithstanding it has been landed at a neutral port, and there
re-shipped, as was the case with the Two Friends.
a Admitting that she bad been captured within the prescribed
limits of the blockade, which is three leagdes from the main
land, even then she could not be considered lawful prize, became
the ridiculous declaration of blockade of the extensive line of
coast now occupied by the Columbian., exists only on paper, the
Spanish naval force in these seas being altogether inadequate to
the purpose.
" We have been told that the Admirals on the Barbadoes and
Jamaica stations have written to General Lp Torre, that they
cannot acknowledge any blockade when the Tower declaring it
I has not a sufficient force to carry it into complete effect."
