Piracy IN THE CHINA SEAs.-The following facts
appeared in the Boston Transcript of Thursday at
temOOn:-
Extract letter from Manilla 81 have just heard
of the loss the schooners Zephyr and Anglona both
late OF Boston, The Zephyr was bound to Bombay from
Canton for cargo oiopum and had 600 in specie
on board She taken in the China Sea by Pirates
all hands murdered have not heard the particulars
about the Angona hut understand that all her
murdered" The II. sold to an American in Canton
and the A. TO a foreigner
These piracies in the Chinese waters are becom-
ing frequent. We noticed accounts of one or two
in the English papers, received by the Siddons,-
Such vessels as the Anglona and Zephyr carry
enormous sums of specie, aad hence rich bits
to pirates. Such clippers, however, ought TO have
outrun all pirates. They remarkably fast sail
ers. If the Zephyr or Anglona, therefore, should
be used for piralical purposes they will cause some
losses that quarter. Vessels bound to Canton,or
Manila, &C., should hereaiiergo well armed
