PIRATES.
The British cruisers in the West India seas
captured in April two celebrated piraticaI YES
sells, each having made desperate resistance.
One named La Gdtd, commanded bv Joseph Sa-
brina, had two l3 Founders on pivots. and four
II pound carronades, and a complement of 90
men; she had also ielucca, with four carriage
guns and 81 stand tf arms, and two other boats,
with mounted swivel in each, and "a stand of
musl1ctry. The other schooner was the Znrn-
gOSdnd, Of about 100 tons, an uncommonly fine
vessel, 78 feet IN length, carrying one long Is
FOUNDER on pivot, long 9 Founders, and 3
swivels, and had crew Of between 20 and 80
men. In the action with the boats of the TYNE

hGdtG so were killed, taken prisoners. and sew
eral were drowned in attempting to escape. The

Lord Cochrane has taken his leave Of tho Off
GERS Of the Navy Of Chill, from which service he
has retired for time, 10 a letter addressed to
them on the 10th January. The following is a.
extract from his letter sc Gentlemen-By our
united exertions, the naval power of tie enemy
IN these seas, though superior 10 our own, has
been snnihilated, and tAe commerce Of the Pa
CHIC Is every where carried on under the oro-
lection Of the Independent Flag. To me il is
highly gratifying 70 reflect, that those services
have not been sullied by aRy act OF ilegality or
improperly on our part; and that while You have
asserted the rights Of Chill, and maintained and
confirmed hei independence, you have SO conduc-
ted yourselves uniformly TO preserve the strio,
est harmony and good fellowship with the off.
GERS of the ships OF war Of all neutral sta.es."
The Admiral gives no reason for his presen,
retirement The affairs of Chill are in /, dis.
turbed state. strong Opposition has hecn or.
gained by General Friere, Gov. of the Province
of Conception to the government of the Direc.
tor, OHiggins. The constitution is declared f.
be tyrannical, and III the object Of Gen. Friere
to establish new one: he says his only purpose
rs TO set Chill at liberty. Il is thought the rev
olution will result in the deposition of O'Ierns.
and the investment of Friere with his authority,
on which event, some changes will probably be
made in the constitution. The last date. from,
