Last Saturday night fome persons in disguise boarded a
tall Spanifli fchconer from St. Augustine, lying at An
rfon’s wharf, carried her a short distance alxive the town,
id after putting the people afliore set fire to her, where
e burnt to the water’s edge. T his vefiel had lately been
tt from the above port as a privateer, and had captured a
lig and a schooner from this place for Jamaica, which al
r fome time were cleared at St. Augustine by the Spanifli
overnment and permitted to depart, but without being
lowed damages for their detention; flie had also, amongst
sr other depredations, brought to several American veffeis
; the coast, and compelled the Masters to pay for the shot
le fired at them. Sortie of the men who were on board
f her when on a cruiie as a privateer were also in her
hen (lie arrived on Saturday. The -crew it’s laid were
maltreated in the nioft outrageous manner;” this may
tve been the case, but the injury they received in all
robabjlity was no: so great as they would have done to
biers in a similar situation. The City Council, we un
u-ftand, have transmitted affidavits to his Excellent the
lovemor relative to this daring outrage.”
