The Chesapeake Pirate.

The Chesapeake Pirate.
Amidst the uncertainty of report,
VIC are happy to be enabled TO lay be-
fore the public the following concise
statement Of facts.
The boat which boarded the OthelIo,
was purchased and fitted olt in this CT
t. BY four Frenchmen, and her crew
consisted chiefly Of desertcrs from the
Patriot and L'Eole. They sailed from
this port on the night Of the lst of Au-
gust, in pursuit, as they alledged of an
English brig then supposed to be in the
Bay, bound out not finding the brig,
they were afraid to proceed to sea on
account Of the British ships of war OH
the Capes, and returned up the Bay.
The OthCllo, they 8cy, was represented
70 them as British property, but discov-
ering the error, they were induced to
give her up. The captain who was
part owner, and two other owners, with
q sailor. f@d on board the Patriot, (hav-
ing made their escape from the boat
lust before she was taken possession OF
BY the volunteers from this city, where
they were secured, and sent by the
Commodore, under guard Of Lleuten-
ant Calhoun, 10 the French Minis ter
who Immediately directed they should
Be delivered over to the civil authority ,
they were then received by the Regis
ter Of the City THE Mayor being sick1
and BY him committed to prison.
The crew originally consisted Of 2l
persons-l2 are in confinement, and a
search is making after the remainder.
Capt Ccmegys returned this NOR
ming from the Patriot Of "a guns /; he
has politely informed US that lie was
treated with the greatest attention by
commodore Krohn and his officers,
who knew nothing Of the affair Of the
Othello, until Friday evening last.
Commodore Krohn Indignantly dis
claims all kind of connection with the
