Nova Scotia Of the English barque SaIa'

ed il probable that holrid piracy and
murder had been committed on board the

rested and examined before a magistrate,
and the steward and cook have made q
confession Of their terrible crimes which
is thus stated in the Hslifax Journal

from Valparaiso on the 9Th of February
with thirteen persons, including Captain
Fielding, apassenger, who had his ship
seized at that place for smuggling, and

Nothing remarkable occurred from the
time of sailing until the 10Th of April
when Capt. M'Kenzie and Fielding had
a serious quarrel and did not afterwards
speak TO each other. Fielding then, il
