CRUISE OF THE HORNET.
Extract of o letter from an Officer of
the U. S. Ship Hornet, to a friend in
this place, dated
Pensacola. Dec. 5, 1921.
!" The Hornet has captured in the
course of her short cruise, two piratical
vsssels and one slave ship, with 240 ne
gross on oard.-The first schooner,
OF one gun and number of ether arms,
and 90 men. which she ordered to Nor
folk; the other brig, l6guns, and more
than one hundred men--ordered to this
port for adjudication; but there being
no properly organized government
here, we're compelled to send them to
New Orleans. The ship will remain
here uIsil her officers and men in the
prizes return, when she will sail for
Norfolk"
The Hornet may, Of course, be hour
ly expected in Hampton Roads. A
more particular account of her captures
is subjoined, from the Floridian of Sd

by heaving to, and putting his snip ~
situation for battle, and firing upon her
first. he should so intimidate themthat
thew would leave him to his course; but
it seems he was mistaken, and for this
las l conceive it to be- ne Is
made to suffer, at least, the loss OF time,
detention, and some unavoidable expen-
ces.
1t cannot be possible, that with
ship deeply laden with sugar, hides,
tobacco, and other articles usually ex-
ported from the Brazils, that the cap
tain had any idea Of capturing her.
However, he certainly cannot justify
himself in enc particular-that ofhois-
ting his pennant half mast high, thus
inviting arencounter, whatever may
have been his ideas respecting the cha
racter of tbs vessel approaching him.
But the transaction, on investigation,
may prove otherwise, and it will be
best to leave it in the hands of the prop
or authorities for decision.

affords the following particulars relative to
the .. S. brig Enterprise, capt. kearney.
Capt. Kearney having rescued the ship
Lucies from the pirates. putia midshlpman
and some men on board, and ordered her
TO the Havana. On bis arrival at Havan-
ma, he found the Lucies in charge OF a
guard of Spanish soldiers, under the orders
OF the Captain General, claiming her as
under his jurisdiction. Capt. K. repos-
sessed himself OF The ship, denying the
right of the Capt. General, and declaring
that be would take her to the y. S. for adj
iucation Whilst making bis arrangements
for this purpose, he was waited upon by
an officer OF the government, and told that
he would not be suffered to leave the port
with the Lucies. and if he persisted his YES
sci would be sunk. This threat did not
alter his determination, and shortly after
wards he made sail with his fleet, the En-
terprize, Lucies and piratisal vessels. re-
solved to carry his point at all hazards.
He proceeded until he was nearly abreast
OF the Moro. when he was overtaken by an
other message from the Captain General,
in which the Captain General offered to
make himself personally responsible tor
the amount of salvage due the Enterprise.
piedging himself TO this effect. This was
done with view to conciliate, and capt.
X. actuated by the same motives, yielded
to the compromise, and gave up the Luz
cies.
