BY the act of the 9th OF August last, Congress
authorized the President to instruct the command

and to capture pirates. This authority has been
exercised in a sing instance only. For the more
effectlIa protection of extensive and valuable
commerce, in the Eastern seas especially, it seems
to me that it would also be advisable to authorize
the commanders of sailing vessels to recapture
any prizes which pirates may make of United
States vessels and sher cargoes, and the consular

TO Our Delinquent Subscribers.

Owing to the pressure of the times,
(which have been particularly hard on
newspaper publishers,) we are compelled
to announce to- those of our subscribers
who are in a-rearsfor over two years, that
unless they pay up blythe FIRST of August
uext, that we will discontinue their paa
per.
This we much regret, but the truth is
that we do not, with our present subscrip-
tion list, which is large for county paper,
receive enough money to pay for the pa
per on which the Spirit is printed.
We do not announce this fact in a COM
planning spirit, knowing that the times
are hard and that money is not easily
obtained There are many of our sub
scribers with whom we are very unwilling
to part, but stern necessity compels us to
adopt this course.
