PIRACY.

BY the following letter il would seem, thai th|
fears which for some time past have been enteaj
ned for the safety oil the brig Mechanic, ofthspol
her master, crew and passengers, were but too vel
founded; and there are very strong reasons for DoI
eying tina. the whole have fallen into the hands j
the atrocious bandltti who have SO long infested iii
West India seas and that all the persons on board
to the number OF about twenty, have been most bar
barously murdered Captain Ray, we understand
has lett widow and large family of young Chi \
dren, who are residents in this city, and have slOu
claims on the public sympathy for their irrspara|

house of l.. and G. De Forest, and was gsnllel
man highly esteemed and respected among hll
friends ad acquaintance for his private worth, Al
well as his integrity, intelligence and activity nbusiI
