ANOTHER CASE OF PIRACY.

The ship Asia, Sutherland, of this port,
from Havre, bound to Newt Orleans, via.
the Cape de Vcrd Islands, while at Bona.
vista, on the 2Sth November, was boarded
by two boats crews from ship, supposed
to be the same that committed the recent
piracies al the Isle Of May they were arm
ed with pistols and cutlasses. After wound
ing the captain and knocking him down the
cabin stairs, they drove the rest of the crew
and passengers below, where they remain
ed till midnight; when hearing no noise,
they went upon deck and found the pirates
had left them. They had piundered the
ship of about so packages dry goods, 800
dollars in specie, and every thing else Of
value, besides robbng the passengers and
crew Of all their baggage, money and cloth
ing, leaving them utterly destitute OF
change OF garments. They also carried of
or sunk the Asia's boats, and one which
capt. S. had borrowed.
The following IS an extract OF letter
from Capt. Sutherland to his owners:

CONGRESSIONAL.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
Proceedings Of Tuesddy-in continuation.
The general appropriation bill being un-
der consideration, and the item appropria-
ting six thousand dollars to pay Col. Trum-
bull for a painting Of the Declaration of In
dependence, executed Tor the U. States I'M
der contract in pursuance of ali act of coll
gress, being under consideration
An enquiry was made, by Mr.. Spencer,
OF tho chairman of the committee of ways
and means respecting the particulars of the
contract with Cot. Trumbu!l, the sums
which had been paid him, sc.
He was answered by Mr.. Smith, of Nj.
that 5000 dollars had been paid TO Colonel
Trumbull at the time of executing the cor
tract with the secretary of state, and that
the further sum OF COCO dollars was to be
paid 20 him for each Of the four paintings
authorised by the act, on their deliver re-
spectively. The present appropriation was
to pay for the first picture, the declaration
OF independence, which il was understood
was now ready for delivery.
MIR. Spencer then proceeded TO enquire
by what authority Col. Trumbuli had been
pcrambulatins the country with his paint
ing which he had executed lor Congress,
and exhibiting it for the trihing sum of IS
cents a head This proceeding on the part
of Col. TrumbuIl Mr., S. highly disappro-
we'd; it was apeIng the indecent custom of
the English, who, in an avarIcious spirit,
exhibited the celebrated Swift in his ideocy
tor one smiling 4 head, aud exhibited the
body of Nelson for the same sordid object.
Mr.. 5. iamented that the representation of
the declaration of Independence, a subject
SO dignihed 80 sacred to American feelings
should have been thus hawked about the
country, and treated so unworthily. If Col.
Trumbull was not allowed enough for his
labor, give him more, said Mr.. S. and do
not leave him rreiext for seeking remu-
neratlon in this improper manner. TO in
dictate bis feelings on this subject, Mr.. S.
moved 10 strike out OF the bill the proposed
appropriation.
Mr.. Pitkin said, in explanation, that be
understood tina: when this painting was
nearly completed, as twas known to con-
tain many i:kenesses Of the yenetrated con-
gress which declared independence, there
was very great desire in different parts of
the country to view the painting; and APP
phcation had, in consequence, been made
to the president for permission to carry it
to some of the large cities to crafty public
curiosity, and bis consent had been obtain
ed Col. Trumbull would not trust the
painting in any other hands than his own,
and be had therefore carried it himself and
exhibtedit under his own superintendent.
In this MIR. P. thought Col. Trumbull had
done nothing improper, &c. Col. Trum-
bull had, Mr.. P. further remarked, appro,

A Hospital for the reception of Lepers
has also been projected and we are glad
to learn that it is likely to meet with very
considerable support from the liberality OF
the public. The number of wretchedcrea-
lures, labour;ng under leprosy in and about
Calcutta, calls for a measure of this kind,
as the nature of the disorder prscudes
them from receiving benefit from any Of the
charitable institutions already established.

THE WASHINGTON STATUE.

The subject of the Equestrian Statue pro-
posed to be erected in honor OF the memo
ry of ashinstcn, was yesterday again be-
fore the Senate. The discussion resulted
in passing the bill to third reading. with
proviso. that, if the sum Of $50, 900 dolls.
therein appropriated. should be found in
sufficient to accomplish the object of the
bill, then the President shall not proceed
to carry il into execution, but shall cause
proper estimates Of the expense OF such a
work to be laid before Congress.
When the subject was under considera-
ton on Wednesday, motion was made
by Mr.. Forsyth to amend the bill, by strike
ing out the whole Of it, except the enacting
clause, and inserting in lieu thereof pro-
position for erecting monument on the
spot, at Mount Vernon, where the remains
of the deceased patriot now lie. This mo-
ton occasioned some discussion in the
course of which, Mr.. Fromentn, though
opposed to the amendment being received
as substitute TO the bill, was willing to re-
ceive it as additional to it, so that, besides
erecting the equestrian statue, according
to the Pledge given by the old Congress, a
suitable monument should be erected over
the tomb of Washington, still more to show
the respect which the present Congress en-
terrain for his memory. Mr.. ForsyHl's mo-
ton having been negatived, Mr.. Froment,n
moved to add the proposition he had sug-
gested by way OF amendment, as new
section to the bin; which motion, howe
yer, was negatived.
