VERY LATE FROM GRENADA.-We learn from a
gentleman who came yesterday in the Star, Capt
Pitman, from st. Croix, that British brig had ar
rived at Grenada, the captain of which stated tina
he had beensboarded by piratical vessel, batear
rugged, the crew of which took from him all the
provisions and water on board, they finding nothing
else worth taking
This pirate was seen off st. Crox on the 9th
ult., and the Governor Immediately ordered BRIG
of war, noted for slow sailing, to pursue her. He
also offered to fit out the STAR and pay all damages
to join in the chase. This was refused by Captain
Piman, in consequence of his commercial en-
gagements. On the Star going out of st. CroiA
the pirate gave chase to her, which she kept VI
for two days, and then gave 1t up as bad job
Where were our cruisers all that time ? Haven
they authority to catch pirates!
We also learn that the British schooner-of- war
Pique, had arrived at Grenada with two savers
captured on the coast.
WALL STREET SHIP News We take the fol-
lowing from the Journal of Commerce and Courier
and Enquirer of yesterday
ARRIVED -Br schr. Peri, Dow, 100 d. I'm. Liverpool in
ballast to Sfkns Ironside Co. The master refused to
give any information.
And the following from the Ne,o York Herald OF
the same date: -
AsRrvED.Br schr. Peri, DAVE 50 days from Liverpool
with salt, to Siffkens lronsides.
We give these two extracts not only to show the
lncorectness of the Wall street papers in their
ship reports, but to do justice to Capt. Dave
of the Peri at the same time. We learn from Capt.
D. himself, that report is perfectly correct and
that that taken from the Journal and Courier is al
together false. He states that every facility to OBJ
tain the true report from the vessel was extended
to the ship news collectors and always will be-
But even if the collector had been refused by any
person on board every information relative to her,
is that any reason why the public should be mis-
led and deceived? If the collector understood his
business, he could easily have obtained correct
report of the Peri which would have saved him
the trouble of publishing garbled one like the
above Will the merchants remember this?
