we huye received from Matanzas by the
Caducous, il appears that the Pirates are
again creeping from their lurking places,
TO revisit u pom our unofending and unpro-
tected mariners, all the horrors which have
heretofore marked'their course Of Blood,
cutting offtoo, by the tigilant and arduous
duties necessary to keep them in check
and by the inhospitality ofthe climate, ma
ny ofthe most gallant spirits that adorned
our navy.
"a report reached Matanzas on the lst
inst. that the Pirates had captured, and ia
ken into "Bayou Cordeveras." near, say 20

them,S set fire 10 them and murdered all
handsome Of the goods, supposed to
have belonged to the above vessels, were
seen on the road to Matanzas by a respec-
table American.
The writer further adds-"The Summer
and calm seasons on the coast are fast ap-
preaching ;and if redoubled exertionS are
not used by government, aud cruisers are
not yigilant and industrious, their knives
will be again sharpened-when Blood ond
Piunder will be the order of the day.
