CAPruRE OF PIRATEs.--From Captain
Aveilhe of the brig Gen Gadsden, arrived
this morning ip "a days from Havana, we
obtain the following gratifying account OF
The capture of q number OF pirates.
The British brig Nancy, Pierce, as. days
from Guernsey, arrived at Havana, 23d ult.
Capt. p. was boarded 18th ult. by Lieut..
from II Is III. brig Victor, in lat. 90 ~ N.
Ion. 50, w. who informed him that the brig
had captured a piratical vessel, and had
the prisoners on board bound to Jamaica
10 deliver them to Admiral Flemmbg.
commanding on that station; that they had
been obliged TO hang several Of them toy
attempting TO take possession Of the brig.
The officer likewise stated that they had
information Of four other pira,icsl vessejls
which bad been cruising off Cape Antonio.
and warned Capt. p. to give the cape .
wide birth. The captain Of the Nancy did
not enquire how many pirates were taken
but supposed there must have been et least
from 80 TO 100, as the crew of the brig b
mounted to ITO men, and she carries 10
guns. Captain Pierce had given the above
particulars on affidavit.
We further learn by a gentleman pas
sepger in the Gen. q. that the French
Consul at Havana had informed the Amer.
lcsn Commercial agent, that information
bad been received at Havana, that tho
French brig L'Amedee, of Bordeaux capt.
Courin, which vessel sailed from Exuma.
I'd March, for Havana, was fallen in with
by the American ship Benjamin Morgan.
within five miles Of Cape Antonio, totally
a abandoned. Boxes and trunks Of mercban-
disc and crockery, were scattered about
the decks, which were also stained with
blood, which gave every reason 20 coh-
clude, her crew had been murdered by pi-
rates. The L'Amedee was, il is expected,
carried into New Orleans by the Benjsmin
Morgan. -.. .,
Our informant also states that an at
tempt had been made by Spanish Monh.
but which was fortunately frustrated, te
ass assinate the Intendant Of Havana.
In addition 10 the above, we learn from
the Havana "Norticioso Mercantip of the :
9th March, with which we have been fs-'
vored. 'thst the Spanish armed sch. Fab
aners, had been cruising in search OF pi-
istical schr. which was said to BE- station-
ed near the Colorsdos tkeys). From IN
formation given TO The commander. at q
late hour Of night, on the 23d uit he wss
enabled on the succeeding day to fno the
above piratical vessel, and preparing him
self for action, bore down upon her. having
IN company two barges. On approaching
her, however, sne was found deserted.
Two dead bodies lay on the deck near TIN !
pivot gun, and three more Hoated siong1a
side the vessel. The deck ras foodeca
with blood, hich had bern g. sEsslEassS.s. =. ca @
TO run out through the scupper -holcs.-
From this circumstance, the Ificer Of the
Spa anish schr. ccnjectures that the pirates.
had fought and destroyed one srother.-'
They had previously robbed y brig and
stranded her of Cape Antonio" :
The impression al Havana wss, that the
pirates Of the sbovs vessels had been al
executed immediately sfter their capture,
by order Of the commander of the S,ar ,-h
vessel Of war. The tardiness of Justice.
in similar cases at the Spanish island makes
the above opinion probable.
The armed schr. and her prize had ar
rived at Bsbai Honda.
The U. s. frigste Falmouth was layi,
off the Moro 26th ult. with Com. Ride lie
