SPANISH JUSTICE PROMPTLY ADMINISTERED.
In the arrival Of the United States schoo-
ner Enterprise, lieutenant Kearney, from
Omoa, on the Spanish Main, with the mate
and one of the seamen of the schooner Re-
trieve. of this port, we have an evidence OF
the readiness with which the Spanish au-
thorities of that place, have lent their assis.
lance in Furnishing piracy committed a.
gainst our citizens, and Of their desire to
restore Immediately the plumber taken by
the pirates. II will be recollected that
while the schooner Retrieve was perform
ing voyage from this port to Vera Cruz,
the mate and crew rose upon the captain
killed him, and carried away bis vessel to
Omoa that the transaction was there dis
covered--the culprits arrested and thrown
into prison, and immediate intelligence
conveyed to this country. Upon applica-
ton by the owners and insurers in this city
to our government, the Enterprise was
sent out there last May for the purpose of
receiving the pirates and murderers, and
bringing them here for trial Lieutenant
Kearney carried recommendatory letter
from the Spanish minister at Washington,
and upon his arrival the Retrieve and her
cargo were delivered up 10 the agent, who
went out in the Enterprise to take posses
sion of her, and the vessel has sailed for
Vera Cruz, the port of her Original desti-
nation. The men were also delivered up,
and have now arrived at this place.
This is proceeding which must be gra.
tifying TO hear Of, the more particularly as
we could not have much right to expect it,
when we consider how different is the fate
ofSpanish snd Portuguese property brought
into our country under circumstances near
~ similar. In this intance the property
was delivered up as soon as requested.--
But the Spanish and Portuguese have TO
wade through mass of legal forms and de-
lays, and if they succeed at all, get at
length nothing but the proceeds OF forced
sales at reduced prices, encountered with
costs and expenses which swallow up one
half, besides the loss in the original sale.
From the organization OF our courts, these
delays are in some measure unavoidable
but il were 10 be wished that the govern.
ment, by energetic measures, would des-
troy that system of piracy which causes
these depredations, and which has so long
been a stigma on our country.
