for their execution, but it was general
ly thought that they would be pardon
ed.
Capt w. also informs that previous
to his leaving st. Thomas, he heard of
the pirates that were carried into Porto
Rico having been shot, but did not
learn the exact number. Our readers
will recollect that II of them were cap
tured in a decoy sloop, fitted out by the
Y. 5. schr. Grampus, Lieut.. Sloat.-
They belonged to apiratical sloop that
was driven ashore at the East end of
Porto Rico; IS more were taken in the
south part of the island. 1t is presum-
ed that they have all expiated their
crime, as the Governor Of ST. Johns
had pledged himself to Lieut.. Sloat, to
have them speedily executed.
Part of French feet had made its
appearance off St. Thomas several
times, the object of which was not
known.
The produce of the Island was very
high, and American produce much de.
pressed-Rice Ss so s75; Flour So.
We learn, that on the 9TH of Janua-
ry, the ship Alfred, from New-York,
anchored off the Bay of Callao. The
same day, four gun.boats and two
launches, with about 200 men, made
their escape from Callao, and anchored
near the above vessel. Captain o.
Zuill supplied them with some bread
and water. The next day, while under
way, they surrendered to Colombian

as soon as the boat touched the wharf,

the river took place, which i'll a, few mi

Tie gale began upon the shores of
England and Ireland, and, after having
wrought into fury the Northern Sea, and
caused numerous shipwrecks upon the
Northern coast of Jutland, passed by
Gottenbufg and Stockholm, continually
rising more and more from southwest to
northeast. In traversing Sweden, it swept
away whole forests; but it was naturally
in the Gulf of Finland that its ravages
would be more severely felt, its violence
having kept up to that spot, IN an In
slant, it drove the waters of the Baltic
into the Gulf of Finland, which, being
terminated by point towards the east,
must have experienced, particularly to-

such Investigation, they would have asked to
