LATEST FROM MATAgsAs----To the polite atteu-
ton of Captain Blanchard, Of the brig Telegraph
winch arrived at this port last night, in nine DAYS
from haansas, we are indebted for the following in
tercstng items of intelligence.
News had reached Matansas of the capture on
Key Sal Bank by British man of war, after Sc
we're action, of a pratoal schooner, supposed to be
the same which had robbed and murdered the crew,
otthe Atentive-she had previously been chased,
OF Cape Antonio, by Spanish brig of war but esca-
ped by superior sailng---and when captured had but
30 men alive. II is conjectuTcd she was carried into
Jamaica.
planter from the interior came into Matansas 3
days before the Telegraph sailed who reported hayinp
seen schooner and the boats Of man war cnga9
gcd in a severe action in bay about 20 miles West
Of Matansas Point.
a Spanish man-ofwar brig, on the day previous TO
the smiling of the Telegraph, boarded vessel sun
posed to be pirate and found several dead Spaniar
on b0ard-and having previously heard firing, stood
to the Eastward, where she fell in with brio which
went down few moments before she could get olony
side; did not learn her name, to what nation she
belonged. From circumstances, Judged her to huvo
had an action with pirate, who had scuted and
abandoned her.
A Boston brig which arrived Just before tho Tel
egraph sailed, reported having been chased off the
Double Headed Shot Key, by q pirate; but nigbt
coming on, he erdeavurcd to elude them
The u. s. ships Erie and Hornet, sailed week
before the Telegraph, in pursuit Of two pratical
schooners which had been seen of Cape Antonio
Pirates known TO be such, wcro daily pointed M,
in the str0ets of Alatansas- but such is the wrcfcb
ed state Of government there, that no one dare pub
hcy accuse thcm and il is ascorained beyond doubi
that they regularly communicate TO their lawless
comrades an account Of what every vessel is laden
with before leaving port.
Considerable alarm existed among tho American
merchants and masters ofvesses respecting Pirates
so much So that very advantageous freghts from Ma
tomas to Havana had been refused and some mas
tcrs were preParingto return home in ballast
Captain u was conveyed by the U. States schooner
Grampus, which will remain on the station for ,ho,
purpose There were likewise on the station SO
