were killed on both sides, The plratical
vessels were captured. Eleven pirates
were taken by some troops on shore, and
the British took rs others We are in
clined TO doubt the truth of this story, as
there was no BRUSH corvette Crulzing on

The British squadron, consisting OF the
frigate Seringapatam. Capt. Warren; The
brig Redwing and cutter Grecian, arrived
at Havana early in last week. Captain
Warren Immediately repaired to the house
of the Governor General OF Cuba--a great
sensation was felt at Havana from the APP
pearance OF this force, coming direct from
England. There can be no doubt from
appearances of late that the British admi-
rally are adopting measures to destroy
the piracies in the Wes indies, and as
they ar. beginning they will have to 90
on, if the end in view requires the whole
navy. No administration dare to stop al
