patriotism, wealth and enthusiasm.

tailed account of the late cruize, on which
l sailed from Matnnzoa immediately after
the receplion of your oMers oftlie 19th ult.
taking with me the barge Gallinippof.
At Stone Key I met his Britannic Majes
ty’s ship Dartmouth, under the command
ofthe lion. Capt. Maude; and was inform
ed by him, that some of his boat s wore then
cruising to windward in company with H.
B. M schooners Union and Lion; continu
ed our course ami foil ill with them the
next evening, at Cndiz Bay. As they wore
also in soarcii of Pirates, but without any
particular or certain information of their
haunts, of which I was possessed, I deemed
; proper to propose a co-operation; it being
perfectly understood that I was to have the
condoctingof the enterprize. This propo
sition was cheerfully acceded to, and re
questing that the schooners should not
'onve Cadiz Bay to go to windward within
i— - j »n#octt umntmtet ftmrge
of Lieut. Rudd, and took with uio, indepen
dent ofthe barge, which iVas well manned,
two small cutters, with five men in each,
nd, in company with a British barge and
two cutters, under charge of Lieut. Ward,
ofthe Dartmouth, we made the western-
most point of the entrance of 8a gun la
Grande, where we were detained forty-
eight hours in consequence of strong head
winds. The day after we arrived there,
our water bring nearly expended, the Brit
ish barge and Gnllinipper, Limit. Cunning
ham, sailed in quest of some, althoughlt
was blowing a heavy gale from the east
ward. and on the evening of the same day
the Gallinipper was capsized in a squall,
but, with the assistance of Lieut Ward and
his crew*, our officers and men were saved,
and the vessel rigiited. She rejoined me
with the intelligence of tlit* accident, a few
hours after it happened, having lost part of
her arms, ammunition and provisions. Not
withstanding this very serious misfortune,
after pledging myself to procure provisions,
determined not to abandon the pursuit
of our object, but upon the very last extrem
ity ; accordingly, the next morning, the
20th ult. the wind abating, we made anoth
er effort, and gained the mouth ofthe river
Sngua !n Grande about noon. At this
dace I found a fisherman, and compelled
am, much against, his inclination, to pilot
ua to the Key of Jutia Goi-d.i, one of the
places of our destination, and at about
four P. M. descried the masts of a ves
sel, lying nearly conceal *d by the bushes
under said Key ; we immediately pushed for
her. and when we approached within hail,
she hoisted Spanish colors, and ordered us
to keep off, or sho would fire into us, linving
her guns trained, a d matches lighted, with
which they made several ineffectual at
tempts to fire the gun, pointed upon the ad
vancing boat—the channel being very crook
ed and narrow, the boats grounded several
several times : at length one of the British
Cutters succeeded in passing the bar, and,
as two boats abreast could not approach, the
officers and crews ofthe others were order
ed to jump ovorbonrd and wade to the shore ,
where, taking a commanding position, on
tho bank ofthe inlet in which she was an
chored. and within twenty yards of her. I
ordered her commander instantly to come
and, to confirm thoir character, if there had
been the least shadow of doubt remaining,
we found the counterpart of these articles
concealed in a thicket, about twenty yards
from the vessel, which was approached by
a meandering path, and could only be dis
covered by a careful search,so cautious were
thov in their operations.
The following morning, at day light, Lt.
Ward and myself took with us three boats,
and proceeded to windward, leaving Lieut.
Cunningham in charge ofthe prize, prison
ers, &c. We soon after discovered a largo
schooner rigged “Regia Boat”—gave chase,
and ut 11 A. M. the crew* finding we were
gaining fast upon them, made for tire near-
esl Mangrove Island, jumped overboard,
and effected a precipitate retreat to tho
bushes, leuving every thing standing, with
a keg of gunpowder open, near tho gaily
lire, and quantities of it strewed all over the
vessel. The powder was instantly thrown
overboard, and tire extinguished. She prov
ed to be the boat whose crow murdered the
B five men belonging to the American brig
Betsey, that was wrecked on the Double-
headed Shot Keys, in December last. Af
ter a long and ineffectual search among the
mangrove bushes for the fugitives, wo took
the boat in charge and pushed on to the
Key la Cusuieru, whence they sailed from
in the morning, being their place of resort
and establishment. This we burnt, und
returned to Jutia Gordu, at midnight, the
officers and men being nearly exhausted ;
the latter having been at their oars from
day-break.

I Iiavo great pleasure in stating to you
thut the Captain General appeared to have
every disposition to prevent all piracies
from the coast of Porto Rico, and co-ope
rate with me by all the moans in his power;
and for which purpose lie gave me a circu
lar letter to all Civil and Military Officers
on the coast, requiring them to give mo
every assistance and information in their
power whenever the Grampus or her boats
may make their appearance on the coast or
in any nf the harbours oftho Islund ; a co
py of which is enclosed, No. 3.
I have also the honor to enclose you a

When I left St. Johns, the Fiscal was
taking the declaration of Cofrecinas ; and
the Captain General promised me a copy of
it; but having n large convoy to take to
sea on Sunday, (to-morrow) from this place,
I could not wait fiir it: it will be sent to me
in a few days, when I shall send it to you
for the information nf the government, as 1
have no doubt it will throw much light on
the subject of Piracies.
I have the honor to he, very respectfully,
sir, your obedient servant,

Hamlet and the Poisoned Giiost.—
Mr. Mathews has commenced his enter
tainments for the season ut tlie English O
pera House. Thu outline which lie tills up
this year, is colled his “Memorandum Book"

episodes, which it contains, lias never been

Mr. Kemble then comes forward and
tolls the bouse that Mr. Bensley is sudden
ly indisposed. In tho inenn time a surgeon
lias been sent for, who examines the poi
sonous glass, and declares that, whatever it
cont ains, it is innocent of arsenic. In the
end the Call-boy is again produced, when it
turns out. that the peccant vessel was not
the landlady’s of the Crown at all, hut that
the messenger had himself carried u glass
for the hrandv ami water with him from the
thea»re, and had moreoveraccidentaly taken
that which contained the rose pink, mixed
to make “ blood” for the murderers in the
ensuing pantomime. Every body who knows
Mr. Matthews’s acting will suppose the
pleasantry with which lie gota through this
story. *
Supposm Piracy.—A few days before
the vessels that last arrived at New Orleans
left Havana, a large ship was driven ashore
near Matanzas, supposed from the build to
bn a Dutch Merchantman, having not a soul
on board, and her deck stained with blood.
It was generally feared *that the Pirates
had murdered the crew, and after plunder
ing the vessel, abandoned her.—JV*. O. Adv.
Captain Cochrane, who lias recently pub
lished in London, a volume of Travels in
Colombia, relates the following anecdote res
pecting Bolivar.
“ At a magnificent public dinner given
to Bolivar at Bogota, one ofthe company,
when called upon for a toast, gave—‘Should
at any * imea monarchical government be es
tablished in Colombia, mny the liberator,
Simon Bolivar, he the Emperor.’ A high,
spirited public character, Senior Pope Par
is, then requested permission to give a toast,
which being acceded to, he filled his glass,
and exclaiming—‘Should Bolivar at any fu
ture peri.id, allow himself to be declared
Emperor, may his blood flow from his heart
in the same manner as the wine now does
from my glass,’—he poured the wine out of
