Norfolk, Sept. 22.-By gentleman
who came passenger in the schr Eliza
Pigeot, from ST. Thomas, bound to
Philadelphia, and was landed at Old
Point Comfort, from the schr Hiram,
which took him from the E. 2. off the
Cares, we learn that he left Laguayra

At St. Thomas on the 2d inst. mar
kets were very dull, and no freights to
be had.
The Colombian sloop of war Ulrica,
Capt. Lance, arrived at St. Thomas
goth Aug. and sailed next day for St.
Croix, and was therce to proceed to
Cumana. The object of her call at
St. Thomas was 10 solicit from the go
vernment Of that island the pirates
which were imprisoned there. These
prisoners were put on board a Danish
frigate which sailed 22d Aug. for La
guayra, where they were to be tried.
A Spanish brig, 40 d!ys from Salt
Island Cape de Verdes) was captured
off the Isle of May, by the Colombian
schr Eagle, and ordered for Laguayra
where she had arrived. The schooner
Little Eagle, Capt. Morgan, arrived at
Laguira 18th ult. from Porto Cabello,
and sailed 5th on cruize. She had
made a number of valuable captures,
among which was Spanish felucca,
within four days sail of I.aguayra, and
ordered her for that port. The prize
had not reached Laguayra, up to the
18th Aug. Gao days after her capture)
nor had any thing been heard OF her.
serious apprehensions were therefore
felt for her safety; Mr.. Murphy Of
Baltimore, was the prize master.

vessels under American colours are at
this moment upon the Coast for slaves,

Gen. Winder, Hill, master, last from St.
Thomas, carries 10 guns and hume
rous crew, all Of whom with the mas
ter, are citizens Of the United States
This vessel and another have their car
goes,on shore at the Galinas and Cape
Mount, the remaining one at Sherbar.
Thus we see these miscreants taking
advantage of the absence of any Anne
rican cruizers, and openly violating the.
laws OF their country, notwithstanding
the heavy punishment it subjects them
to. We have here occasion TO regret
the failure Of the negotiation for a mu-
tuaI right of search, which would most
probably in this instance have enabled
our cruisers who were lately here, TO
have prevented these robbers from car
rying the intended victims of their Gu
piditv and avarice from the Coast"

Norma, with orders to proceed to the
Coast Of Africa for cargo of $50 logs
Of ebony wood, and on arriving at Sher-
bar, the captain exchanged this cargo
for l32 slaves, and left the coast for
Martmico--two days out, the slaves
rose, murdered all the crew excepting
the captain and two men, whom they
spared on condition of working the ves-

Factory Island, one Of the Isles de Los,

This is but one among the numerous
instances Of the horrors Of slavery, in
