From the Toronto Patrio, Of Jan. 2
We have received from friend in Chippewa the to'
loving gratifying intelligence:
On Friday last, the 29Ih ult steamboat called the
Csrone which had been given, lent, chartered or sold,

nine volunteers in each were prepared in Chippewa
creek with intent 10 start that service at o'clock,
but they did not depar, till ten The enterprise was
commanded by Capt, Drew Of the royal navy.
Four only OF the boats made good their way to the
steamboat which as they approached were hailed by
sentry, when answer being given, the sentry again
ha.ed and The answer returned was Fricnds, bu, the
countersrn being demanded and not given the sentry

number OF pirates on board about 80 well armed,
but a grea, number of them shore firing rifles
