Piracies.-It appears from the representations OF
the officers of the Grampus, rived at Charleston,
that piraces in the West Indies are increasing to
an alarming extent, and that from the nature OF the
coast OF Cuba and the adjacent Kevs' it is impossi
bic to prevent them. The boats OF the Grampus
and Shark had been eropoved night and day in
securing the coast, but with little success. The
principal rendezvous of the pirates is now in the
neighbourhood of Sueai Key. Among the other
difficulties of suppressng these depredatlons upon
commerce, may be reckoned the unhealthlness Of
the climate at this season.

there are few readers who have been o.
opinion, that the discussion would bro
duce restoration to our parent state,
even though a majority Of the county are
IN favor of the measure.
Bot another question is now in train
to produce serious reflection, not only
on our present state, but that to which we
shall he brought, if territory of so small
an ex'en', and ola population very made
quatc TO maintain government should be
reduced TO this situation. aIlnde to the
bill now pending in congress, for calling

persons. that the admission of Alexandria
within the ten miles square, was received
as the greatest good, and the most accep.
table gin, which the legislature of Vir-
gina snd The congress Of the United
States could bestow. Instead OF the
snti-commercial spirit OF the state to
which we were attached, we were to be
the fos.ered child Of the Union--of
power able to grant and willing to bestow
whatever might contribute to improve
our highly favorable advantages granted |
us BY nature. In the reyerics of every |
msnin the community, we enjoyed our |
future greatness by anticipation. But
time has dissipatcd these day Dreams

by every other part of the United States
II we weigh the value Of the mere act
