The following is an extract OF letter from
Aruba, dated 25rh October.
The schr Union, Lamson, OF beverly,
from ST. Bartholomew, bound 20 Curacao
was captured off Jour island, On the i9,h INST
by the hermaphrodie brig Moraton, (Famo-
so Indiano) and ordered for Puerto Cabello.
She arrived here on the Goth, along with my
schr which the privateer had likewise cap
,ured, on her passage from his to Curacao,
with number OF ColomS ian emigran, pas
sengers on board On their coming TO an
Choir, a. Sand Point, went on board the
pr,vateer. to learn the cause OF my vessel
having been taken possession Ut. and there
met with the captain of the Union, who
gave me an account of bis capture 10y the
Spaniards. He stated, that having fallen TO
leeward he made the coast OF Paraguana, g.
then beat up close to Curacao, when the
privateer Tell in with him, she having at the
time Colombian colors fl ing. The boarding
officer told captain l.. that he must go to
Marscaybo, to which he replied he could
not, his vesse. being under insurance, and
bound to Curacao. The officer then put
pistol TO his head, saying " if you don't
sign ne paper, that you are bound to Ma
racaybo. | will blow your brains out. =
Captain LamsUn, however refused to do so,
and he was Immediately carried on board
Fam,so Iniiano. The c, go OF the Union
consisted of provisions, dry goods, anu ooUu
dollars in cash"
As we have already given so many state
ments of the robbnrg system pursued by The
Famaso Indiana, such conduct as The above
does not at all surprlze US. The day o! re-
tibution, however, is near at band, when
satisfaction mus, be rendered for the various
acts of strocily committed W the Spanish
priyateeTS.
