AUDAcIoUs PIRAcY-An express ar,
rived in this city TODAY, about 10
o'clock, from Lewes, Del. where 1t left
yesterday evening at 7, bringing infor-
nation of the capture of the packet
ship Susquehannah, bound from Phil,
adelphia to Liverpool the day previous,
by piratical schooner. within 80 miles
OF the mouth of the Delaware Capes.
The Susquehannah left Philadelphia
on Thursday last, and Newcastle on
Friday morning, and could not have
been more than few miles from the
land, and even within sight of the peo-
pie OF Lewes. The information is pos
tive, as will be seen from the following
letter, from Mr.. Rodney, the agent fo1,
the underwriters, at Lewes, accompa.
MED by the notarial seal of Mr.. John
Il, Burton Of the same place. 1t is one
OF the most audacious acts of piracy
which we recollect to have heard Of.
We learn that there was a large
amoant of specie on board the Susanee,,
hannah, and a number of PASSENGER
some Of whom were citizens Of his
state, and the probability Is. that ali on
board have been murdered.

We would invite the attention Of on,
readers to the resolutions passed at the
meeting of our citizens on Thursday
It was not a WING meeting-true the
great majority of those pr esent were
Wings, but we saw many Van Burer

appreciation Of the conduct Of Claiboraf
and Gholson, and their conscience.

THE LOVE POWDER.

In the quiet, beautiful village Of Grafton
in the good, steady old state Of Massachu-
sets, there lived about forty years ago, a
young man named Edward Bay more
commonly called by the boys and wags OF
the village, Neddy Bray. Neddy, for we
must call him SO too, was the only son OF
old deacon Bray, who had died about three
years before the occurrence which we are
about to relate, and who had left his son heir
To- ten thousand dollars und a fine farm.
Neddy had always during his fathers lie
time been kept most scrupulousIy confine'i,
and never except on one very extraordinary
occasion, had ventured beyond tie precincts
of the village. HIS father had tired all that
father could try, to educate Neddy for
something, but we regret to say, his efforts
were fruitIess, aud at the age Of twenty
three four date) he was about as ignorant
an ass ss can well be conceived.
lie had, Of course, many failings, and
among the the least was not his credulily.
lie could swallow anything but the story OF
