TO THE EDITOR:
SRI herewith transmit you few re.
marks, accompanied with certain docu-
mentary evidence. On the grounds thus
established, conceived il my duty to cap
,ure the Pancbita alias Palmyra, as in my
opinion they fully established her charac-
ter TO be such as was at least doubtful, II
not pivaetcal.
Ii know any thing, ] hope | know the
duties of my profession, and the nature
and extent of The orders have from the
government of my country. Permit me,
then, before the following documents are
read, 10 make few plain remarks.
One OF the crew of the brig Maria Ann,
from Curacao TO New Y ork, was brought
into court, and swore 10 the TACT, that in
July last the Palmyra boarded the said
brig, robbed Der, and demaaded and search
ed for money. The priva,eer scSr. Peri,
era, was in company at the same lime,
which also, boarded and robbed the brig.
Capt. Escurra acknowledged that an Anne
rican pilot boat schooner, (the Dennis OF
Newburyport) was robbed of money and
clothes. If this came to his knowledge,
permit me to ask why be did not punish
the offenders? He afterwards sent the
same men to board the American schooner
Coauette, which they robbed. All the
authority by which the Palmyra bad to
cruise IS deriived from the Signature OF a
lieutenant an the Spanish many, ssho IS also
the harbor master Of 81 Johns, Porto HI
CO, and upon examination qf me commas
sion, it xin be found to be enc that had ca.
p,red and afterwards nnlaTfaIly srtend-
edl!! 1t was also given uvsfkout securities
TO indemnify Tor any spoilat'ons they might
commit at sea -,
| insist sir upon these irHtbs. The COM
mission is for a schooner of SO Spanish
tons, (equal to liz AmeriCan) 10 carry
one long IL FOUNDER, eight l0-pound car
ronades, and 100 men. Now, the Palmy-
ra is an hermsphrodite brig OF 1853 tens
American tonnage mounts pounder,
which is the only circumstance which cor
responds with the commission; two OF the
crew have been recognized as cape Anto-
MO pirates, and another of her crew was
heard 10 saw that the Grampus was the
same schooner that broke then, up at Sugar
key. IL may mere Ue ueCessd'y W ,euioin
tina; all vessels which bave been robbed by
the crew OF the Panchi,a alias Palmyra,
have been boarded when tbei6ag Of Vene-
zuela or France has been worn by that
vessel Threats vengeance, which pass
UNDECIDED by me, have already been thrown
out, but will execute Notwithstanding,
what in my apprehension is my da'y as a
naval officer.
