PIRATES

By the brig Joseph Eastburn, capt. Earl,
arrived at this port last evening, in l3 days
from St. Bartholomew, we learn, that on
the 18th April last, the decree by the court
of ST. Bartholomew, was passed on five
men and boy, that had wantonly attack
ed an Ameri, all schr. called the "Ameri-
cam" for the purpose of robbing and muir
dering the captain, crew, and passenger,
and had succeeded in getting alongside,
and shooting one of the crew, when by
some fortunate means, their boat sheared
off, which caused the escape of those per
sons from horrid and untimely fate.-lt
was well known that the passenger had on
board few thousand dollars in cash. The
pirates were sentenced. with the excep-
ton of the boy, to death; the boy being
minor, is TO receive fifteen pair ofrods, and
Punishment for life. The indefatigable
zeal the governor and bis officers, on
this occasion, is worthy of the highest
praise; especially the town Major, Mr.. Ha-
sum, who wen: 10 pursuit Of them; but the
superior sailing and management of their
boat, favored their escape from him. 1t is
to be regretted that the leader ofthis band
was MORALLY wounded, as it has deprived
