The Susquehanna left Philadelphia on Thurs
| day last, and Newcastle on Friday morning,
and could not have been more than few miles

Mr.. John H. Hurton ofthe same place. It is
one of the most audacious acts of piracy which
we Yecollect to have heard of
To all wkcm it may concem..--I have this
moment received positive information by two
very respectable pilots, James M. West and
Edward Maui Of the pilot boat Mary, that the
packets ship Susquehanna bound from Phila-
delphia to Liverpool was captured by pratt
cal schooner yesterday afternoon, (Saturday,)

Five Fathom Banks TO the south, and was seen
at sun down, off TO the south. ---She has large
quantity of specie on board, it is said by the
pilots.
The pirate vessel is long black fore-top-
sail schooner.
The wind to-day being south west, it is ho-
ped that information sent 10 Norfolk, to any
U. States officer may them to cut her off,
