The national flag displayed hall way down the royal
mast played IN the breeze, unconscious OF IT'S solemn
import. The vessel glided in stately serenity, and
seemed tranquil as the element on whose surface
sac moved. She knew not of the SORROWS that were
an her own bosom, and seemed to look down on the

and left TO their own reflections, the hardy sons OF
the ocean mingled their sympathies with each other.
They seemed to think OF their own morality Con

They spoke Of the virtues OF their deceased mess

winds of heaven let loose in all their fury, and

They would have INDUCED longer in their reve-

rites OF sepuure, and pay the last honours to their
dead companion. The work Of preparation was
commenced with heavy hearts, and with many ii

FROM MATANZAS.

| We learn by the arrival Of the schooner Harriet,
that two days before she left Matanzas, four or FIVE
Pirates arrived there, and informed that they were
the only ones who had escaped, from considera-
Bile body which had been located on one OF the Keys
about 40 miles to the windward OF that place. Ii
was understood, that Commodore PoRrEn had OBJ
tanned information Of their situation, and dispatched
his barges along shore, while the Stcam-galey and
some OF the small vessels, approached the Key
On discovering them, the Pirates made for the Gu
ba shore, when they were intercepted in their flight
and taken prisoners with the exception of the four
or five which had reached Matanzas. 1t was lie
ported, that the Pirates had erected hus on the Key
IN which was deposited their illgotten plumber; an
OF which, it was supposed, had fallen into the hands
OF our gallant tars, but the barges larger YES
sells had not returned, no other particulars were
known.
We also learn, by this arrival that the Pirate who
commanded the recaptured schooner Pilot, return
ed TO Matanzas few hours after she was taken, IL
company with two Of his crew, who with the excep-
ton OF the one taken prisoner, the only survl
yors oil his whole crew, amounting to 40 or so men
