u TIM, the whole is a hoax-a fish story-a

brings them more and more strongly 10 consider 'na'
the capture is capture at all.
But on the contrary in Philadelphia renec'lon
seems to be entirely out Of the question, anu ua"y
does the assurance gather and strengthen IN the'r
minds, that the marauders have danngly carried Oh
their finest ship and that all the properly on ooaro

effected The capture of the Susquehanna.
Others also have seen others, each OF whom mus'

There are some among US who are not behind the
Philadelphans in thus clearly accounting Tor that
which is clearly Hnaccountable. One gentleman re-
members that about six weeks since vessel came
into Coentes Slip which excited great deal OF suspl

answering very nearly-quite near enough-the de-
scription given of the Pirate She had cargo when
she came in and she took none on board while she lay
there. She had remarkably large number Of men
aboard for vessel of her SIZE and they all the

Persons were allowed 10 20 OH deck Out not

She left one evening at shutdown and what is very
extraordinarily remarkable was MOTTO be seen on the
following mornings dawn
Shortly after the news arrived OF the Margaret hav
ing been chased by Pirate. For the authenticity Of
these remarxs we are referred TO VIM. p. Rowe, 7
South street. J. s. Brown 80 Water street, or any
of the Coenties Slip merchants. She lay at the mid
die pier pretty well down.
Another person informs us that he met in Wall
street near the office of the Courier gigantic figure
ne did not mention how many feet high-with great
bushy whiskers and cadaveross expression Of
countenance, like one who had been SO near fighting
in his time, as to make it no joke. As we had no
mention Of captain for the schooner in Coentes
Slip we will put the big man with dark whiskers on
board in that capacity, and with the more readiness
will quiet at once our fears for the safety Of the pas
sengers, as from the description should not think
that this officer would proceed to boodshed unless
the ships company, whom he wronged, particularly
requested it.
There is We, another possibility. II is that the pi
ra,ical vessel may be our well known b t. the

most politely Should there be any loaiers on board
with shinpaster currency, we would not answer for
the consequences. They may say their prayers as
fast as they cantor in all human probability they
will have to walk the plank without benefit Of
clergy. But for the ladies-a rght-not hair of
their beautiful resses will be harmed even in thought
Should this not be the Teaze, the only conclusion
that arrive at is, that it il the pirate which
chased the brig Margaret between Florida and the
Island Of Cuba In this case, it is most likely that
the Susquehanna took her. and not she the Susole.
