this. that Is sufficient reason why he should not

wards in the Legislature lie made an opposition to

Another dash among the Pirates.--The Jamai-
ca Courant of the 30th ut. gives the following
interesting article respecting an attact upon the
pirates by part Of the American Squadron -
The United States schooners of war Grey
hound and Beagle, 3 guns each, Lieutenants
Commandments kearney and Newton, came TO
anchor at Port Royal on Saturday afternoon.
They left Thompson's Island seven weeks ago,
and have been cruising within the Keys on the
south side of Cuba, as far as Cape Cruze, at all
the intermediate ports on the Island, to intercept
pirates. On the 2lst inst they came to anchor
of Cape Cruz, and Lieut. Kearney went
in his boat TO reconnoitre the shore when he was
fired on by party OF pirates, who were conceal
ed among the bushes. A fire was also opened
from several pieces of cannon erected upon a
hill short distance of. The boat returned,
and five or six others were manned from the ves-
sells, and pushed off for the shore, but very
heavy cannonade being kept up by the pirates
on the heights, as well as from the beach, the
boats were compelled to retreat. The two
schooners we're warped in, when they dischar-
ged several broadsides, and covered the landing
OF the boats. After short time, the pirates re-
treated to hill that was well fortified. A
small hamlet, in which the pirates resided was
set fire to, and destroyed. Three guns, one four
FOUNDER, two large swivels, with several pistols,
cutiasses, &c. and eight large boats were cap
tured. A cave about $50 feet deep, was discov-
cred near where the houses were, and after con-
siderable difficulty, party of seamen got TO the
bottom, where was found an immense quantity
Of plumber, consisting of broadcloths, dry goods,
female dresses, &C. &c. Many human bodies
were also In the cave, supposed to have been
unfortunate persons who were taken and put to
death. A great deal OF the articles were brought
away, and the rest destroyed. About forty pi-
rates escaped TO the heights, but many were
supposed to have been killed from the fire of the
schooners, as well as from the men who landed.
The bushes were SO thick that it was impossible
to GO after them. Several other caves are in the
neighborhood, in which it is conlectured they
occasionally take shelter. From their houses
being burnt, and their boats taken away, it is
hoped they will be obliged to retire from this
place, as they will be without the means of an
noying vessels passing by.

in the night and discovered Warren robbing
his trunk; he seized hi.s, and in a scufle
(being too stout for the robber) rescued the
greater part of his money. In the mean time
the robber disengaged himself from his antago-
mist, leaped out Of the window of the second
story; and as bad luck would have it, alisht-
ed astraddle of picket fence, which so hor-
ribly mangled the poor fellow that he was
unable to crawl far. He was taken up next

Since our last, no further account, FINN,
Europe have been received. Although the
French continue TO advance in Spain with bu,
little opposition, It is yet uncertain what will
be the result The Cortes continue firm and
determined; and the people, the army, and
the publck functionaries, all remain faith
full to the constitutional cause. The authori-
ty of the newly created regency, extends only
to places actually occupied by the French
troops, and is upheld by them alone. Guerrilla
parties are organizing in every direction; the
tendency of which is, TO cut of the supplies of
the French army, and embarrass their opera
tons. How long this state Of things will con-
tinue, time must determine. If the Spaniards
Persevere, although the French may oyerrun
the country as they did under Napoleon. IL
will remain unconquered; their armies and
resources will be wasted away, new supplies
must continually be poured in from France,
to make their losses good, and the patsioA
cause must eventually triumph.

MEXICAN PAPERS.

Vera Cruz papers to the latter end
of June, advise, that the Commissioners
from Spain, and those on the part of
the government of Mexico, held their
first formal meeting at Xalapa on the
18th of June. The Spanish Commits
sioners then presented document ex-
planning The views of Spain in regard to
Mexico.
In the sitting of the 14th, Victoria
demanded of the Spanish ENJOYS an
explicit declaration, whether il was the
intention of Spain to acknowledge the
independence of Mexico. To this the
ENJOYS replied, that they could give no
stronger proof that such was her inten-
ton, than would be found in the propo-
sitions and guarantees they had propos-
ed, after having shewn that they pos
sessed the necessary powers to act on
the subject.
The Commissioners again assembled
on the 18th, when Victoria informed
them he was under the necessity. OF
leaving Xalapa, but wished to inquire
whether the ENJOYS were disposed to
enter into provisional Treaty of Com
merce, and upon what conditions
They replied that they were ready to
make such an arrangement, aud upon
terms that would be mutually advan-
tageous TO both countries. The session
was then adjourned.
Vera Cruz papers to the 9th an(
Mexico to the lst u!t. have been receiv
ed at New York. The Sovereign Cor
stituent Congress was in session, AL

Piracy and Murder.

| BALTIMORE, AUGUST 8.
We have been favoured with Barha-
does papers to the 18th July. The
trial of a man named Johnson, for piracy
and murder took place on the l4th. 1t
appeared in evidence, that the Colon
bian privateer Aguila, captured the
Spanish brig Maria Dolores early in
May last, about one days sail from Glib

Murray, Hutchinson, Antonio Martinez,
William Cumpsty, and mulatto, of the
FPrlvateer's crew, and the captain of the
captured vessel, aud were ordered 10
proceed to Laguira. Ten days after,
Murray got drunk and was put in irons !,
kept two days and then liberated; the
next day lie was again intoxicated, and
at the mid-watch he and johnson quar-.
relied about who should take his turn
at the helm, (the witness, Cumpsty, be-
ing at the time at the helm,) when
Johnson went below, brought up pistol
and shot Murray dead on the spot-the

the time. The body Of Murray was

WORCESTER,
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10, 1928.

The Subscriber having taken upon himself
the management of the MASSACHUSETTS SpY.
considers it a duty to make known to its nu-
merous Patrons, and the Publck generally,
the course which will be pursued in its future
publication.
The political character of the SpY will be
founded on the principles of the immortal
WAsHINoTos; principles which we all, as
Americans, must delight to profess, and dill
gently aim to reduce to practice. With these
constantly in view, the Publisher will exert
himself to enrich its columns with Fore;gn
and Donestick News-Literary and Religious
Intelligence.
AGRICULTURE. COMMERCE, DoMEsrrcK
MANUFACTURES, and IMPROVEMENTS in the,
MEoHANIcK ARTS, with whose interests
those Of our Country are so closely united ana
blended, claim conspicuous places in our
columns. Miscellaneous Extracts. .uch an
may tend to amuse the great portion Of SUBJ
scrlbers, will be made with care and discrimi.
nation. Well written original articles are
subjects Of interest to the great body Of our
readers, will always be acceptable to us.
and will be inserted with pleasure.
On such contributions the character Of
every periodical work must in some degree
depend and we fatter ourselves from ths
great number of men of learning and intelli-
gence in this County, that the SPY will con-
tinue to hold a rank worthy of its age. and
the reputation which il has heretofore main.
tanned. Those gentlemen who feel disposed
to aid the object in view, are solicited to as
sist the Publisher in their leisure hours.
Being intended for no particular class o~
denomination of readers, but for the benefit Of
the community at large, pains will be taken
to regard the feelings Of all, and nothing shall,
be permitted to appear in our columns. which
is not strictly moral in its character and ten
dency.
The Publick may rest assured, that nei-
thef trouble or expense shall be spared to
render the SPY acceptable and interesting.
In order to do this, the Subscriber proposes
to enlarge its size very considerably, viz
an extra column upon each page the size
and quality Of the paper, like the Colum-
bian Centinel, Boston; with handsome en-
sFaVed head or title.-This enlargement he
has thought necessary by reason of the great
increase of advertising patronage, which has Of
late necessarily excluded much matter Of in.
terest and amusement. The proposed inn
provement will be carried into effect :, ,h.>
course of six weeks. The expense that must
accrue in making this desirable alteration.
added to what has heretofore been advanced
for the establishment, will be very great; and
ne anticipates with confidence, that in giving
this new dress to the SPY, he shall not only
retain erery present subscriber, but beyond a
doubt, be insured of an increased patronage.

Attack on the Jai;ssour; Erpe1i;tion,

attack on the Missouri Expedition.
Letters from Gen. ASHLEY, dated on the
Missouri, the 4th June, give the particulars of
this fatal attack of the Ricaree Indians
Presiding on the south bank of the Missouri,
ADORE the Chiann Ricer. On the arrival Of
the expedition opposite the towns Of the above
tribe, on the 3Oth May, the General held
conferences with some of the chiefs. and
made arrangements for an amicable barter for
horses, and for landing 40 or SO men, to pro-
coed by land to the YELLOW Stone Riser.
Things went on very we'll until the Cd June
when at sunrise, the Indians attacked the 40
or SO men who were encamped on the beach,
IN the charge of the horses. In few minutes
one half of those men were killed or wound
ed, and most of the horses killed; when the
remaining men swan for the boats. and some
sprang into the river on being shot, and i'm
mediately sunk. La the end, the expedition
had TO fall down the river to wait for succour,
Twelve men were killed, and eleven wound
ed. Two Of the wounded only were consider
ed dangerous. Six or eight of the Indians are
believed to have been killed. The Riearse,
muster about 600 warriors population 5000 y
are mostly armed with London frlzils, and are
extremely expert shooters. 1t is added, that
Col. LEAvENwoTTR, with 200 of the United

warriors, have set out to ayenge this bold in
suit to the American people.
