| the subject of the piracias in the Gulf of Mex
leo. A vessel has just arrived here, which fell
| in with an American schooner that had been
| robbed and plundered the day before. The
Captain stripped himself and showed how he
was logged from The neck to the heels. All the
crew were inhumanly beat. Aboard the
schooner were the mate and crew of an Eng
lish brig. who were put there by these fell
lows, who had first half hung and then shot
the Captain, for no other offence but having
his ship in ballast The poor man, while they
were swapping the musket at him, begged for
his life or account Of his ,oJe and children
| whom he had left at home. mt. Int
