rejoice that the passengers and crew Of this vessel
escaped more cruel fate. Mr.. knight, merchant

house her cargo was consigned, arrived at Nassau,
and attended the sale of that part of which was

any, with the sails, rigging, cables, anchors. &c.
were saved by New-Providence wreckers, taken

In the Royal Gazette Of the l4;h March, We
find the following statement relative TO tho brig

Havana:
ssAnthony Kemp, master OF the sloop Industry,
Of this port, sates that about twelve days ago, he
discovered brig at some distance, apparently a.
ground. on the south side ofthe Antros Island, to
which he proceeded for the purpose Of afording
assistance in case II needed; and that going
on board he found person in the yes

sails shattered and loose, the boat having been
cut from the dayits several bags Of rice lying OIL

and other vessels have bsen sent TO bring The
whole to por:. The papers, among which Is said to

We have copied from our Nassau papers, an ac-
count OF the execution at 81. Thomas of four nj
rates, who were part of the crew of the Las Da-
mas .4rgcnf;nas, which captured the brig Cara
boo last year; twenty-oight OF the same crew were
hung at ST. Kits some months since. Also,
statement OF the execution of fpe other pirates,
executed at ST. Thomas. for plundering an Amer
lean vessel on the coast Of Spain. We pleased
that in the West Indies punishment is SO justly
awarded TO the relentless wrctches, and be-
lieve that should any pirates fall into the hands of
the officers of our navy, they would not receive
that cruel mercy which marked MIR. Monroe's ad-
ininistra ton--savad the lives of murdsrers, and
gave them new opportunities of robbng the inno-
cent and helpless of existence.
Itmay be inquired, (says the Nassau G1zette,>
how long will the Powers of Europe and Ameri-
ca look on unmoved; and permit the continuance
Of those atrocious acts that have been perpetrated
for 20 many years around the Island Of Cuba,
Some years ago, when the Floridas belonged to
Spain. the town Of Fernandna, at the entrance of
ST. Marys river, afforded shelter TO Prates-upon
which, the President of the United States sent a
naval and military force, which took possession OF
it, under the plea that Spain had not the means Of
preventing the place from being nuisance to the
trade OF other powers; and the measure was ap.
parcntiy acquiesced In by Spain, no other Power
interfered in the matter. similar treatm mt or
one more effectual than has been hitherto adopted
must be carried into effect TO the Island of Gu
ta, or II will continue to be, it has long been a
nuisance to the civilized world.
The Nassau papers contain no later Jamaica
dates than the 18th Of March, Of course there was
nothing known there of the capture by the Bril-
tfsh sloop ofwar Pictor, of pirate vessel and a
large crew, the account of which as received a,
