Capt. Smith of the sloop jay, In 90 day from
Gibbara, states, that on the 2Sth of March last,
he observed a vessel a little to the winward OF
Neuvitas. Nos liking her looks, the Jay en-
deayored to get into Neuvitas, but found that
ampracticahle. After a short chase the vessel
came up, having first fired a gun and hoisted
Spanish colours. They boarded the Jay, or.
dered all her people into the forecastle, and
then stood for the land. The pirate told Capt.
5. that he had received information OF the car
go, and that Il belonged to captain briggs,
whom they were sorry was not on board as they
wanted to hang him. The sloop was taken to
the westward of NeuvitaS and robb3 of her
cargo, and every thing that could be carried off
Hhen the pirates departed. Captain briggs,
che owner of the cargo, was at Gibbara, when
the robbery took place, and soon heard oft
he Immediately Tired men to proceed by land
20 secure the vessel. These men were fortu-
nate enough to catch the pirates, and when
Captain Smith reached Gibbara, he found
them all in prison. The same privateersmen
pad robbed the British schooner Sea1ower.-
The Judge at Gibbara gave notice, that the pi-
rates were to be tried In two months when
those robbed must appear to give in their evil
aence, or he would discharge the accused.
We learn by the brig Commerce, Captain
Funk arrived yesterdayfrom st. Johns Porto
Rico, that the British sloop of war Esk had ar
rived at st. Johns, for the purpose of demand
ing some English Prisoners, which were Civ
en- up. We also learn by this vessel that a
number of Americans had been confined at st.
sohns as prisoners for nearly four years.
The brig Pomona arrived yesterday from
London Sailed from the Downs on the 18th
April, bringsno papers later than the 18th of
April, but we learn there was no political news.
Two young Chiefs from Owyhee, who had
arrived In England some months before, sailed
in April, in the ship Fame for Port Jackson,
from whencea passage home would be procured
for them, in some of the vessels that trade pc
rodically to the South Sea Islands. These two
young Chiefs had been taken up while on a
Fishing excursion, by an American ship they
were afterwards taken from the American yes
sci by the Spaniards, and sent as slaves to the
mines but they escaped ON board on English
ship, and came to England, where they were
turned ashore destitute. They were taken in
charge by some benevolent individuals belong
ing t. Missionary Societies, and under their
care they have learned to read and write in En-
giish; and have been sent home under their di-
nection.

had made OF him, whether he could furnish
duplicate Of the letter called for by tise reso-

Mr.. Russell delivered his duplicate at the De-

does Mr.. Russell mean, when he says that he
lett it for my examination What does >he
mean by saying that had the sole power to
publish it or not, as might judge proper, and
to consult my own feelings and interests in
forming my decision? There was resolution
OF the House of Representatives calling upon
the President to cause to be communicated to

suit my feelings and interests Mr.. Russell is
not so ignorant Of the duties Of Secretary Of
State as not to know, that, in the usual course
of business, the resolution of the House was
referred by the President to the Department
Of State for report, and that when once his
letter had been delivered by himself at the
Department, il was my indispensable du-

ODESSA, MAY 3.
We have accounts from Constantine
pie of the eth April. What we have
long since said is more and more confirm
ed, that no reliance can be placed on Tho
negotiations of the diplomatists al Cen
stantmoplc. The final result will proba-
bly, be great catastrophe for the Turk
ish empire.
After the conquest of Scio, the Cap.
itan Pacha set out for Samos, in order
to intlict the same fate upon that islan,l,
which is not less rich or less fiourishine.
The number of Sciots killed With arms
in their hands, is estimated at 10000,
and that Of the unfortunate persons who
were massacred, though they took TO
part in the Instruction, at 10000.

Letters have been received from
Trieste of the 18th current, by which
advices have been obtained from Scio.
dated the Goth and 2lst, and from Smyrna,
OF the 9th ult. 1t is impossible for the
mind OF man to fancy any thing more

cepting those Of some women and chill

latter having already been sent into sla

were wallowing in the blood. of Chris
tian Greeks. The Turkish feet was
at Scio on the o2d, and the letters from
Smyrna state that troops continued to
pass TO Chcsme, on their way to Scio.
To exterminate the natives is the order
of the Sultan. A part of two or three
families had made their way to Trieste.
Boats had been sent out to bring more
away, and hopes were entertained that
a few of the wretched natives might be
saved.
1t is asserted, and that from good Au-
thority, that the Turks used CongreDe
Rockets ia firing the town. Should this
prove true, every British heart will be
filled with indignation. It's in this man
ner that the legitimate Turks, the
friends Of barbarism and consequently Of
the present European system, put down
their febellious subjects, the Christian,
Greeks, whose forefathers civilized The
world. All Englishmen worthy Of the
name, however, pity their fate, and
deeply lament their inability to lend
their assistance to them in their extrem-
ity. That the Russian army NAV, how
ever, revenge their suflerings, must be
the sincere wish of every liberal mind.
No more must be said by the English
Government of the iniquity of African
Slavery. There are now Christian
slaves; there are cultivated and civiliz-
ed families carried into slavery by the
Legitimate government ofTurkcy. The
Island Of Scio was filed with beautiful
villas and highly respectable popua-
lation. The spferngs OF the Sciots will
he long remembered; and it is sincere
~ TO be hoped that their fate will nerve
the arms Of their countrymen, and lead
to that determined conduct which can
alone insure TO them safety and success.

fact is, that when the party was breaking
