When MIR. Van Buren, dashed out in his splendid

from making some structures upon the inconsistent

A large number of our citizens were on ooaru
the packet the uncertainty Of whose fate is source
of extreme and distressing anxiety to their friends
AS information of this outrage has been despatched
to the different seaport towns along our coast, py
the express mail, and as Government armed vessels
are in pursuit of the pirate, entertain hopes that
she may yet be captured, and her crew brought 10
This act of piracy, committed as it WERE mme-
diatejv under the nose of the Government, shows
the importance of squadron being kept cruising
along 1.-THE whole line Of our coast to protect our
merchantmen from pirates, and relieve them in
stress of weather.
The papers differ in their statements as to the a
mount of specie on board the captured ship. The

authenticated supposton appears to be thatshe had
