in the habit of privateering these last
twenty years, and has committed innumer
able depredations under a fictitious name:
He spares #10 colors, takes .whatever he
wants if the cargo’s valuable, out provis

hauled 52 sail ot American,.French, Bre-1
men, English, Dutch, Danish, Swedish,;
Russia© and Indigene vessel^not one;
nation escaped plunder-—the Bremen and-
French vessels suffered most.—A Bremen'
vessel was robbed of about 10,000; a
French barque of £7000 in goods; Russian
ship Wolgn, rapt. Bond, with passengers,
from Cadiz, bound for New-Orleans, all
the passengers’ baggage, watches, money
say every thing they had—ship of all her
spare cordage, cahin furniture, provisions,
etc; cargo of about 8-2000—the remainder
not being valuable, and not having room
on board the privateer, this ship was al -
lowed to proceed.
He took frfun the brig Lyra, capt. Mur
doch, of Philadelphia, baupd thence to St.
Jagoale .Cuba, provisions to the amount of
8286, at fair prices, for which he paid
nathiug. A small Danish schooner, from
St. Thomas's .bound to St. Jago de Cuba,
was robbed td every tiling on board, even
the most grilling articles.
