Scarcely has the shout of Indignation sounded
from the faithful inhabitants of the island, after they
had heard OF the vandalic invasion of our territory
scarcely had the voice Of the higher authority been
heard by its proclamation-when we have the un-
utterable pleasure of being able 10 announce VIC
tory.
The arrival of the Pizaro, which. entered the
port to-day, having on board Gems. Armero and Pc
naranda, Commander-in-C Chief of the District, has
brought in the important news OF the capture oftwo
ships belonging TO the Sandnls. Said royal steamer
left this port the night Of the 10th; the 18th
il went to Contoy where there was a vessel and a
merchant schooner. On board OF these vessels
there were about hundred men, OF various nations,
badly clothed and equipped, who had come from
the two islands, Contoy and Mageras, adjoining
Yucatan, the place Of rendezvous of the pirates.
Both vessels, and all the adventurers in them,
captured by Gen. ATmero, AZ well as the letters
and correspondence OF Don Narcisso Lopez, head Of
the expedition, which two days before heI ,-u 90
the north, and WHICH, ty Jus tipe. no doubt, has
.snen INTO Inc nands Of our soldiers, and paid for
their execrsble conduct BY disgraceful death.
This capture may be considered Of some impor-
lance, inasmnch as the correspondence seized upon
bctrays all The secrets and plans OF the pirates.
The Pizarro has brought with her fourteen of the
prisoners. Their whole nunberwas above one hun
dred. They are Of different nations, and betray the
most inexplicable cowardice and fear. II is ascer
tanned by the Pzarro that the whole invading force
does not exceed i've hundred men, and that their
tanzas, and TO march 10 llayana-yes, TO Havana
city which, in less than twelve hours, enlisted
more than three thousand volunteers, ready and
able TO resist any enemy: What greater folly
could be expected from robbers, whsse only desire
was pillagc--who intended TO share our property
among ihsmselves, and had promised twenty thou
sand dollars, and plantation, to each officer, aud
four thousand dollars TO each soldier with lands,
when the campaign was over!
May this lesson undcceiye all those who, thirst
ing for gold and for blood, undertake such adyen-
tures! II there are unhappy countries in which
the abandoned may boldly exercise their crimes
and live in idleness let them know that Spain offers
no such hope. This island il no place for such
persons-an island which owes It's prosperity 10 the
industry, the loyalty the integrity, and good con-
duet Of its faithful people.
