cruize off Havana, Matanzas, &c. having
touched at Thompson's island and sailed
thence on the 10Th inst. The only U. s
vessel left at the island was the Seapul-.
The Terrier and Wildcat sailed in ca
with the Jackall, bound on cruise with
two months provisions--the former to
cruixe off Key Yeacos, the latter to give
convoy from Matanzas. The Greyhound
sailed from Havana on the 18th to cru,ze.
off the isle Of Pines. The Ferret and
Beagle were out on cruizc. Havana
was not more sickly than usual. The.
officers and men of the squadron remain.
ed uncommonly healthy considering the
nature OF their service. Those at
Thompson's island were in good health,
with the exception of com. Porter, who
we regret to learn was still indisposed.
Lieut.. Goodrum, of the Jackall, in
forms US that the schooner John, of Mid
dleton, Con. bound from Havana to Ma.
tanzas, in ballast, was boarded on the
18th by two piratical boats, which put off
from the shore. They robbed the peo-
pie of all their cloatbing and the cabin of
fifty dollars--and gave the latter strict
charge not to proceed to Matanzas, at the
same time threatening him with the most
terrible consequences if he did, in case
they should fall in with him. The John
then put back into Havana, and captain
Smith of the Hornet, put so men on
board OF her under the command of lieut..
Platt, and ordered her to proceed 10 Ma
tanzas, with the expectation that the pi-
rates would again attemp, to board her.
The result was not known when the Jack
all left the coast.
The Jackall fell in with the Colombian
schooner Centella, off point Yeacos, On
the 18th inst. and learnt tina, she had re-
Gently captured Spanish poIacre brig.
The next day, saw the CenteiIa engage
spanish brig with cargo of slaves, but
after exchanging several shot both vessels
hauled off. The CeDtella had been
some time cruizing between Havana and
Matanzas, and had made several captures.
Two Spanish briggs and large topsail
