SPANISH PiRACIES.

BY the following statement transmitted
by our attentive Norfolk Correspondent
Mr.. Vim. &. Lytord, it will be seen that
the Spanish Royal privateers fitted out
from Porto Rico and its neighborhood,
still continue their depredations on Amer
lean commerce. The presence of two
or three light armed United States vessels
in the vicinity of Porto RICO, would pre-,
vent the repetition of such outrsges, and
save an immense amount Ut property 10
the American merchants.
"Captain Barnes of The brig George
Beckwith, from Ponce whose arrival in
Hampton Roads is mentioned iD the ship
ping list, states, that the seas about For
TO Rico are annoyed with Spanish priva-
teers, and that their depredatlons are SO
frequent and vexatIous thata vessel, how.
ever legal may be her pursuits, is not by
any means safe il she is fallen IN with by
them. The brig Gen. A. Jackson, Lang
don, of and from New York bound to
Curacao, was fallen in with by felucca
of this description, when after overhaul.
ing her papers, they were pronounced as
spurious or false, the privateersmen de-
claring that they knee she was bound to
the Main, and Immediately proceeded to
rob and plumber Captain Langdon, in
whose possession however, they only
found 16 doubloons in money, which they
soon deprived him of took his vessel into
Ponce for trial, which was progressing
when the G. Beckwith sailed, and there
was little doubt but she would be COZ
demned. Before the prIvatesrsmen, how
ever bad got their prize into port, having
deprived Captain l.. Of his command,
they beat him in most cruel and wanton
manner over his face and every part OF bis
body, and then turned him on shore-and
when Captain Barnes, saw him, (Which
was Just before he sailed) be was hardly
able to move about, and living upon the
charity of such Americans as were there
and able to assist him.
An English brig called the Zelina, Of
London, from Cadiz, bound TO Vera Cruz,
laden with quicksilver, and the brig
Phoebe, of ST. Johns, N. B. from Lagurs,
bound to Hamburg, laden with valuable
cargo of coffee and cocoa, had both been
captured by these description OF prIva-
teers, carried into Ponce, tried, and, with
their cargoes, condemned-These briggs
were completely dismaDlled when the
G. B. sailed, and an appeal 10 any other
tribunal was out of the question. The
Privateer cruisers out of Ponce consist Of
brig and two feluccas.

quarantine. and no person permitted to go
on shore from her unit. she had complied
with the regulations. The health officer,
however, on examining her condition, was
so well satisfied of her healthness, that
he did not think proper to detain her at
quarantine longer than the period required
by law her crew were all perfectly heal
thy, and there had occurred only one death
on board Of her during her cruise. In two
or three days she was permitted to come,
and anchored off Town Point, where she
remained some time before stIe was orders
ed to the Navy Yard. A few days ago her
hold was broken up, and il is lamentable
TO state that those Of the crew detailed for
that duty have nearly all been taken sick
in consequence of the deleterious proper
ties of the air confined in that part OF the
ship:
The number taken sick is II, of which
il is said IA were cases OF malignant fever.
Midshipmen Zanlzinger and Newton, were
the officers engaged in experimenting, the :
breaking up Of the ships hold, both OF
whom sickensd. Mr.. Zantzinger died
Yesterday. This intelligence was commu-
nicated to the Board of Health last eve

Since my last to you but little OF impor-
lance has occurred here. The admins.
ira,ion of governor Kinderlapd continues
with the greatest satisfaction on the part
of The people. One of his first acts has
been that OF endesvoring to put stop to
smuggling (Which had been carried on TO:
some timel by appointing commissioners
over the custom house officers. The old
guards, it is reported, are TO be removed
and Others appointed in their room, with
such salaries as would place them above
the little meanreeses practiced by most OF
those now in Office The commissioners
appointed are persons of standing in So
ciety, and will De assisted By most of the
merchants here, who ave well pleased
With the new regulations. and from the
great increase Of the revenue expected
from this act, ii may reasonably be sup
posed that diminution of duties will ere
long take place-lhe commissioners are TO
enter upon their duties in two or three
DAYS. The new Tariff ordered by the
Cortes, has been laid aside by the Provin-
cisl As enbly, and il is very probable that
body will soon issue Tariff of their own.
Colonel ralIava, late Governor of West
Florida, has been appointed to the COM
