FROM MATANZAS.
New YoRK, June 24.-The fast SAILING
schooner Blue Eyed Mary, Captain Gardner.
arrived at this port yesterday, eight days from
Matanzas. Capt. q. has furnished us with tho
following Information Sailed from Mstan.
zas June Is, under convoy Of the u. S. scbr.
Jackai, Lieut.. Comdt. Stevens, which vessel
arrived the evening previous, II days from
ST. Thomas, having been exposed TO very tenn.
pcstnous weather, and torrents of rain, during
which the officers and crew suffered much for
the want of proper accommodations, which
their vessels do not afford 1t is not eaay 10
conceive the suferings and privations of the
officers and men of Com. Porter', suuadron
unshrnkiDg in the discharge oil their duty, un.
der thousands of djscouragng circumstances
through which they are supported by the ar.
dency OF their desire TO be useful. This feel.
ing pervades every breast, from the Comma
dore down to the lowest officer. The IT 6
schooner Greyhound, 1t. Comdt. Kearnev
entered the ha Dor at midnight on the loih
inst and being informed that barge had been
stolen, and manned a short distance tn wind
ward, and had captured the Mary Joan, Of
Middletown, Immediately got under way in
storm, and went in pursuit other. The
report OF the above capture was not GENERALLY
believed, las IA brig answering her description
was gong INTO the harbor as Captain G. wa,
coming out. There were still many pirates in
and about Mafanzas, who are only restrained
by the frequent, sudden and unexpecfpd .,.
pearance OF Com. Porter's light vessels. Al.
though regular days had been fixed for con.
voys, circumstances had prevented the repn.
lar arrival of vessels for this purpose; and the
freebOOters are thus left in state of INNS,
painful uncertainty rs 10 the chances for thr;r
helllsh work. There would he no secur;,,,
for our commerce in those seas, were il not
for the support of regular conveys, and with \
more efficient forge than the small scbooners
now employed, as the lives of the valuable
olhcers and men employed in them are in
constant jeopardy. Com. Porter had given
notice, through his agent at Matanzas, that one
ofthe armed vessels under his command sould
ieave FlatanZas on the 12th and 28th Of every
month, for the protection Of our commerce.
From st. 1homdS.-We have ST. Thomas
papers to the 18th inst. received by III.
Velocipede, which mention the recent oe
Caracas papers TO the 28th ult which con-.
ftaIn proclamation addressed by Gen. Paez
