PIRACY

We regret to be obliged to add another
instance to the catalogue OF plracies com
mitted in the gulf. Captain Johnson, OF
the schooner Sea Dog, bound from New
Orleans to this place, was boarded OF Pas
cagoula bay by boat with SIX men armed,
who at FIRST desired to purchase some pro-
visions, but on being told he had none 10
dispose of, they proceeded to search and
take such articles as they wished. As they
were about to leave the vessel, their cap
tain observed, that some of his men had
been seized, that be stood in need OF
stronger force, and that captain johnson
must furnish him with man. This OF
course was declined. They then actually
compelled one poor fellow to join their IN
famous combination, and made OF. Alter
they had been absent some time they were
again discovered TO be in pursuit. and cap
tain ]. being apprehensive that their OBJECT
was to take possession of bis vessel for a
privateer, run her ashore, took 10 his boat,
and abandoned her.

HEw-JERsEY STATE PRISON.


Yesterday about 9 P. NJ. four of the
souvicts confined in the peniten:iarv near
this place having released themselves from
the cells wherein they were confined, three
of them succeeded in scaling the prison.
wall, undiscovered, and the fourth was on
the point Of getting over when observed by
one Of the assistant keepers. The alarm
was given, and the fugitives were immedi-
ately pursued. Two were soon overtaken
and surrendered-one, by the name OF Ro-
berts, was shot dead about mile from the
prison, and the fourth effected his escape.
One of the convicts that was overtaken
and surrendered, was the same desperate
who attempted last year TO set possession
of the arms belonging to the prison, and
was then desperately wounded. Owing to
the weakness eccasiened by that wound,
he was unable to keep up with the others.
The plan was, for the four, after they
had scaled the wall, TO 60 round TO the
front Of the prison, enter the keepers Of
6ce, seize upon the arms, and effect ge-
neral jail delivery but two of the tour OBJ
jecting to the undertaking, after they had
got over, the project was given up, and
each endeavored to make bis escape.
