M. in company, half a mile eastern, saw a snia.. schooner 2 miles to leeward, supposed a drogher from llavanna ;at2 P- J! 1 *,"; 10 miles from Matan/ is, standing N. F- >’ E. close hauled, the Mary-Rose di.iant o 4 mile, observed the schooner winch hail then got in our ‘.vase, to tack, which caused suspicion that she was a piratical cruz.ei. At hall past 2 the Mary-Ro-e hove 100 ; the schooner then cime alongside and sent a h with 10 men on bo«is*cl llio M* took possession ot her, and stood in foi the land. After the boat left her for the Mary-Rose, she gave chase to us, and we bserv-d her ap parently full of men. Ai SP. M they fired a musket at us, wc hove 100, when we were hailed and ordered to lower ourloresail ; we were then boarded by 2 men aimed wuh iTiuskets, cutlasses aid knives, driven i.-to the cabin, and confined, t hey llion made sail on the aohcontr for the sliore, the pi rate in company. The ciew aopeared to be Spaniards. After being confined for a short lire, one of the pirates, who spoke good English, came below and demand- d of C.ipt. Robbins the money on board. Gap*. R. re plied there was none ; to which the pirate retorted, “ unless sou deliver all the money you have, your coll'ee shall lie taken and your vessel burnt,” and then lelt us, in a state easier imagined than described, ex pecting nothing short of death Shortly ut ter he returned and ordered the captain and crew, six in number, and a French gentle man (passenger) on deck; immediately on reaching the deck we were driven forward and confined in the forecastle, af'er beating us w.tii their muskets and pricking us with dirks ; we found the forecastle pillaged of every thing and the people’s cheats broken open. In die mean time they plundered the cabin of every article of value, breaking open every chest, trunk, Ac. and strewing die ar ides about in search of money. About 4 I*. VI. they opened the sc;i tie anti ordered the captain and passenger on deck, as we supposed to be murdered, securing the scuttle afterwards so light as nearly to pro duce suffocation, and placing two centinels n. »;• it with drawn sabres, to prevent our rising. After keeping us confined in this manner until 8 P M. we were ordered on deck to take in sail and let go the anchor, distant about 1-2 mile from land, which from appearance was the extreme ea t point of Matanxas harbor. The pirates informed us they had let the Mary-Rose go. l'heir schooner bein near, the captain of this banditti ordered her a long side of us, had her made fast, unstowed our boat, broke open our hatches, and com pelled our crew to pass the coffee from the hold to their vessel t of 212 bags which we hail onboard, they robbed us of 210. During our co fiueineiit in the forecusde, tiiey twice hung Capt, Robbins hy the neck, in order to exiot't confession ; and whilst we were pac ing out coffee the four commanders of this gang of robbers, which consisted of from 25 too') in number, were beating hint most unmercifully with their swords. After the whole crew hail satisfied themselves with heating Capt. It. and that there was no in ney except £344, which they had- taken, having plundered the cabin of every thing, they sent for the cook (a b.ack) to come into the cabin. They,after demMiding ofhiin whore the money was, beat Inm most cruelly with their swords, and let him go. The mate was then brought forth; six swords pointed at his breast, threatened wilh instant death ; the same demands made, and after beating him so severely as scarcely to leave him able to stir, let go, and sent again to assist in get ting out c iffee. After plundering us of eve ry thing tiiey c-uld find of any value, and ripping off'the ceiling, in search ofin.mey, they cut our cable, then about 20 luthoms out, and ordered us io steer to the north ward, for it we returned to Mutai.zas, and wire again captured by them, death should be our portion : having plundered us of 210 bags ol colfee. 150 lbs. new rigging. 2 pr. can-hooka, 1 small bower anchor and 20 fathoms c;.b e, 1 hedge anchor, haif bbl. su gar, all our kinves and forks, davit tackle, blocks, tails, charts, quadrants, boots, shot s, hats, all out stores, cooking utensels, Ac.

A letter from a gentleman belonging t° this vessel has been received at Boston da ted “ St. Barts, .Yor. 3, 1821. “ We arrived here, after a rat tier rough passage, in eighteen days from Boston, all well. We expect to sail again in two or three dais. \Ve found here the piratical ship which robbed die Orleans Packet. She is now in possession of the Swedish govern ment. She came into their possession in the following manner: I'he crew landed her cargo on a small island near this, from whence it was taken by a schooner to St. Thomas; they then run the ship into Five Island Harbor, where all the crew, except two men deserted Iter. I'he government, hearing of her being there, sent a guard and took possession of her, brought her in to this harbor, and confuted the t *o men in her as pirates. It is said, Capt.

We shall only observe, that the Legislature and its interpreters might both have avo d ed this farce, if instead of Jtejicitur , &c. — the bill had been endorsed ‘ Kejectus* (li bcllus, being understood) or “re jecla” (lex being understood) —the perfect par ticiples of Itejicior, to be rejected.

We generally say, ‘the b:ll was thrown out’—serntns legem propoaitum rejecit. [ Char, City Gazette. From the Delaware Patriot. Extract from the Jownal of the Senate of Dela ware. Mr. , a member of the House of Repre sentatives being a Knitted, returned tnc re solution, refusing to receive any petition, “unless notice thereof should be given six weeks previous to the meeting of the Legis lature, in some public newspaper, printed in the state, and lor other purposes,” and informed the senate that the house of repre sentatives had endorsed upon the said reso lution, the words “ Jtejicitur runtime contru- Uicenle,” and he withdrew. After some debate, and much conjecture concerning the meaning of the above en dorsement, it was at length, on motion by Mr. , Devolved , That two interpreters of pro found erudition be appoi ted for the pur pose of affording the senate some explana tion, if possible, of the above mysterious language. On motion, of Mr. , was appointed teller—Whereupon the senate proceeded to ballot for interpreters; and John Fisher and Alexander L. Hayes, Esqs. were duly cho sen. Ordered, That the interpreters be inform ed of their appointment, and that they be requested to attend the senate chamber in five minutes. At the expiration of the time the inter preters were admitted; and being duly sworn to translate and explain faithfully ac cording to the best of their judgment, the words endorsed on the resolution above mentioned, took their seats on the speak er’s right hand John Fisher, F.sq. then delivered bis opin ion as follows : He believed the words“ Ke jicitur neniiue r.ontradice te,’ to be Latin, and he thought that they imported that ‘the resolution was nnani uusly rejected.’ He question, hew ever, Hie correctness of the word ‘rejicihir,’ as here used. II it were to he considered is a veil) personal, which he doubted, it must agree with tin; word ‘ Re solution ;’ if it be a verb impersonal, it can of course have no nominative case, accord ing to the rule veibum impersonate habet nul lum person um. lie: did not believe that the Latin was that of the Augustan age. He further stated the words ‘nemine eontradia cente’ were rather ambiguous in their signi fication, and might, perhaps, mean either ‘gainsaying the passage of the resolution, or gainsaying the rejection of it.’ But he was of opinion that the intended import of the words here used was that the resolution was ‘rejected, no one dissenting,’ or ‘unani mously.’ A. L. Ifayes, Esq. after a profound exam ination of the endorsement, concurred in the opinion of his colleague, that the true mean ing and intent of the words are that the resolution is rrjeced, no one dissenting. The learned interpreters then laid on the table the following account, ltd withdrew: FEHiiuanv 16, 1816. The State of D /tnsare, Hi-, to J. Fh/ter and .I. Hayes.

The case of die Commonwealth of Virgin i t against John Preston, the iate Treasurer, and his securities for the year 1819, which had occupied the Ueue.al Court six:sen days, was determined on Tuesday evening m tin ur of the Commonwealth. The fol lowing is thekerdict of the Jury : “ We of tlif; Jury find for the plaintiff a gainst the defendant John Preston on the w it of eiiqury, anil against the other defen dants on the-issues joined, and assess the plaintiff’s damages at {§87,58738 cents, be ing the principal sum due, with interest thereon, at tile rate of six per centum per annum, from the 31st day of January 1820, till paid.” Besides thq above sum there was a fur ther deficient' of more than §sl,* J in the Treasurer’s alcount, for w Inch the securi ties of 1819, >re not held liable. For this sum the Coiifnonwealth must look to Mr. Preston hintsilf. It will be fecollected that Mr. Preston conveyed all its property to trustees for the purpose ofincj ninytying the Commonwealth and Ins securities. Near 24,U1/0 dollars have aheady been laid into the Treasury by the trustees; audits the property Vet unsold is valued at non j §200,000, it is believed that neither the Cdnuionwealth or Mr. Preston's securities wilt finally lose much, if any thing.
