when the breakers were discovered,
but 1T uas too late The brig struck
three times, stopped, and was immedi-

OF PIRATES.

Capt. Labouisse, at New York. in e2
days from St. Domingo City, informs that
a small schooner was fitted out at that
place, TO go in quest OF the pirates who
robbed the brig William Henry, (Which

ing out 12 days. the schooner returned
with Eighteen Pirates, a considerable
quantity OF hides, coffee and indigo. and
some cash, found ON the island OF Saona,

P%ERICLEAN SOCIETY.


The public were much gratifed on S.sur.
day evening last, by a very handsome and H..
teresting debate, in this society, on q literary
subject.
This evening there will be another debate on
an equally interesting subject; At which, W.
hope, there will be a numerous attendance Of
the respectable citizens of the town. An addi.
tional inducement for public patronage, arise.
from the consideration, that the funds collect.
ed. are to be appropriated to the cause of IN.
magnanimous Greeks, who are so successfully
struggling against the most cruel and re,ent.
less tyrants that ever dissraced the world.
We understand the question to be debated
this evening, is "Wdieh country should e1eise
