PROM THE SALEM GAZKTTctI^
From # Oanlon.
We are indebted to Capt. Silver, super
cargo of the brig Leander, which arrived ai
(his port on Tuesday last, for liles of Singa
pore Chronicle ami Canton Register. The
subjoined account of the capture of an Eng
lish East Indiaman, by a pirate, is taken
from the Singapore Chronicle of Nov. 0. It
will be observed that the plunderer is un
hesitatingly designated as an American, al
though the reasons for this are not very ap
parent in the narraiion.
The barque Clorinda, for the safety of
which apprehensions were entertained, ar
liveil herefrom Loudon, Rio Janeiro, and
Jt itavia, un the 24th ult- She sailed from
London on the 7di of March, and was plun
dered on her passage of a part of her cargo
by an American pirate. On the 7lh May,
in lat. 2 deg. 15 rain, south, and lon. 20 deg.
11 rain, west, the people of the Clorinda
saw a vessel ahead standing towards them ;
they hoisted English colors, and in about
half an hour discovered the stranger to be
an armed brig, lull of men. Slit* pissed un
J,.,r the stern of the Clorinda, hailed her to
heave to, and the captain to come on board
with his papers; & the brig prepared to fire. 1
There was no alternative but compliance,
and on going on board, Capt. Carrew and nis
boat’s crew were made prisoners. He was
taken below ami his papers examined by the
commander of the brig, who told him that
lie must supply him with rope, canvas and
provisions, and in the mean lime detained
him oiT board. 1 fie Captain of the Cluiinda
remonstrated against this uncivil detention ,i
of his person, and claimed to be paid (or
such store- as should be taken, upon which i
the pirate told him he would give him a drain
upon his government, “ who were damned
good paymasters.” Capt Carrew was or
dered into custody, the pirate giving his or-.t
dera in Spanish, though his own language/
was evidently English. Capt. Carrew was
severely beaten ami ill treated, and finally
lashed down to ringbolts and guarded by 2
centinels armed with pistols and cutlasses.
Me, was kept in this situation from eight in:
♦he morning till eight or nine at night, with
out any refreshment, having been refused
even a drink of water. During the whole
of this time he heard a continued bustle of
boats along side, and on deck a hoisting in
cl heavy packages, and rolling of casks, and
the noise of pig* and poultry, which had once
belonged to Hie Clorinda. The weather was
squally, with heavy rain, and infinite con
tusion prevailed. Between eight and nine
at night he was released and conducted intoj
the presence of 'ln* pirate, in the cabin which ,
was nearly darkened, there being only light
sufficient to discover the pirate brandishing
a dagger in his right hand. He asked the
prisoner where his treasure was concealed in
lb. Clorinda, and threatened him with in
stu it death if he did not make the disclosure.
Can Carrew told him that ho had no trea
sure, and assured him of it on his honor.
The pirate requested “he would pul his hon
or one side, as that was a word which he had
long scratched from his vocabulary,” and
demanded tbe money which it was intended
to purchase a cargo with in India, saying,
tha- he understood the Indian trade, aim
money he would have, or he would burn and
Scuttle the vessel and kill every man on
b ard The as-urutice being solemnly re
peated that there was no money, he said “is
that your answer?” and being told that it
was, he spoke in Spanish to his men, two of
whom seized Capt. Carrew and applied a
couple of pistols to his head, one on each
side, and again the pirate urged him to coit-i
fess si' ing, •‘remember in mey cannot avail *
you or re.all life when you are dead; if you,
regard vour life, at once acquaint me where
(lip money is concealed, and you arc safe;--]
this is my profession and I am inured to,
bh.od, so expect no mercy if you deceive!
me” C ipf Carrew had nothing to confess,)
and only repeated tus asset tion that
was no money on board the Clorinda, upon
whi« h the pirate ordered his men, in Eng
lish, to /) rpurs’ - his victim solemnly aver
red that he had spoken the truth ; that il
there had been any money on board the ship
he could have no motive in concealing it, a?
the loss w mid not fall upon him or its owners,
but on the underwriters with whom it would
have been amply insured; and that it he
would show him no mercy for his own sake,
be was a man with a family and might be
spared for theirs, especially ns Ins death
could be of no service to those who inflicted
it. The pirate, either convinced of the ob
vious tru'h of his reasoning, or not so utter
ly harde u-d is he had described himself, or
dered the mate ol the Clorinda (who had
been brought on board) to be called into the
cabin, but threats of instant Heath only ex
tracted a confirmation of what hail been pie
viously averred of there being no treasure
on board, ami he was ordered away. Capt.
Carrew wts then searched, his watch taken
from him, & a miniature torn from his neck,
but the la.ter was thrown back to him, its
value to any one but its owner 0. mg too ti it
♦ling probably I" make it worth retaining-
He was conduc ed back to the place where
hi ivai confined, the Pirate contimn >g i
uiter “ horrid imprecations,” telling hint
tint his death should be the consequence ol
farther obstinacy, and that he wool i owl)
allow him half an hour longer to consider
Captain Carrew was kept in confiuemen
until between two and three o’clock the nex
morning, whan he was again brought befon
the Pirate, woo demanded the key of In
sextant, winch when he received he lob
(>oi da Carrew that he should spare Ins Ine

(heart’s blood,’ was the Cap
■ tain Carrew without wasting more time in
Isuch dangerous parley, walked forward he
s, tween to liles of armed men, who struck him
with their cutlasses for attempting to look
I about him. Weak from fasting and contine-
I'ment, and sore with bruises, be succeeded
in regaining his own vessel. He found her
deck strewed with cargo, broken cases,
casks, bottles, papers, and some of his crew
drunk; the tarpaulins cut, and the hatches
stove in and broken; that bis clothes, sex
tant, quadrant, chronometer, barometer,
campuses, (excepting one in the binnacle)
charts, time and log glasses, books, dress
ing case, razors, and cabin stores of every
description, had been removed ; that his bu-|
reau and desk were smashed to pieces, hits (
papers and letters destroyed, and his very
bed ripped open, and feathers strewed about
the di ck, and ti.e bed clothes taken away.
) The mate of die Clorinda had been obliged
to point out where the different goods were
stowed, and wliiist thus employed in the (
hold, was told by one of the craw of the
armed brig, who appeared to.be a Portuguese,
that be had been taken in a Portuguese ship,
)and that all hands except li'insell had b 'en
murdered, and that he had only saved ti in
-3 If by entering on boaid the brig; but he
said that the Pirate had not murdered any
English prisoners,
j Whilst on board the brig, Capt. Carrew
saw a bucket marked distinctly with the
I word Cumberland, tbe name of a vessel
which sailed long ago from Sydney for Eng
land, and has never since been heaid of
Captain Carrew took the commander of the[
;piratical brig to be from New-Orleans; the
crew were of all nations, and appeared to
be kept in great order.

POSTSCRIPT.
JJislruclive Fires.— About a quarter be
fore I o’clock thin morning a tbe broke out
in the rear of J A. Lane’s Cabinet shop,
No. 21, Catharine street, (between Harman
,arul Henry ) and raged tor more than an
hour. At 2 o’clock, when it appeared to be
in a good measure subdued, the following
buildings had been burnt
No. 19, Catharine, two story wooden
building, occupied by Win. Palmer, as a
,cabinet ware house.
No. 21, two story brick front, occupied by
J. A L ine as above, William VLL.irty gun

■ houses, occupied by Oliver Matthews, inside,
destroyed.
No. 33, occupied by Doctor William
Baldwin, inside destroyed,
j In the rear of Calhai ine street, two or
three work shops, & destroyed.
J; The streeis in the vicinity of the iTe were
filled with-furniture, and we are inclined to,
believe that the most valuable contents ol the;
buildings were destroyed,
! Another Theatre, burnt. I —At 3 o’clock,|
and b fore the firemen had left the other fie
'the ,I fount Fill Circus, in Grand street, was
discovered lobe in flames, and in hall an
jhour it was a heap of ruins i As the building!
ijwas chiefly of wood, and an immense pile ;
itthe light was must brilliant, and illuminated
[the whole city. We understand that it has[
inot been occupied since tlie passige ot the
latv requiring the payment ul $250 tor a
I license.
1 There is no doubt but both fires were
cau-ed by design ; but more especially the

m jut 1826,6' C. VV, Sanford, E-q. end was
n 'rent. k.,b e for nothing but its bulk, being
r ,"'calculated to contain from 5000 to4ooo
p. r ipersons.—The left wing was occupied nr
n front as a Porter rocm, and in the rear, until
t recentl v, as a stable --the horses having been
“ sold a short time since at auction. Hie
Circus was buiP of wood with the *xcep
tion of a brick front, and being situated on
an eminence, presented a most magnificent
spectacle as it sent itsbioad sheets of II me
to the skies.—T n e fire was first seen to is
sue from the N K corner.
A carpenter’s shop in the rear was entirc
' ly des i . >ed, t. gethei with a part of its con

It is worthy of remark, tha. Ins is iho
third Theatre which has been destroyed by
fiio* in tnis city, wiihin the last 15 moot as.
The Bowery Theatre was burnt M y 26 h,

fii st has been re-built; the tw hist, ic ts '
presumed, never will be—at leas! until the
!taste for heatrical amusements b-comes
mors predominant than it is a piesent.
■One other building, which was used last
ypar for theatrical purposes, has been con
verted into a Musical Saloon, and another
• into a horse-stable. The number of Thea
tres still remaining, and used as such., is
three:—Park, Chatham, and the Biwety.
How large a portion of these ni’ke a sav
ing business we do not precisely know ; but
at a rough guess, we should say cue third.

f New York, August 6.
; Another Fire ! —Before the ink used in
i record mg one fire is dry, we an obliged to
.'announce another. Ab.-ut 9 I’clock last
evening, a large wooden building occupied
as a cat prnter’s sanp in the middl • -d the
block between Pine street and Mi den
lane, near Pearl-street, was discovered to
be on fire. A number of old crazy build
ings in ttie neighborhood were also soon in
a blaze, and from the mass of combustible
i malenais collected at this point, the town
was for a nine threatened with an exten
sive conflagration, and before the engines
could be bright to bear, the rear of (h tiro
proof stores on Pine-street to* k lire. That
occupied by Messrs. Sne.lling & B.xter,
I No. 70. was the' most injured, the upper
'jlofts and roofs being principally burnt, and
jail the goods destroyed m greatly damaged.
The adjoining store, No. 72, occupied by
Messrs. P. VV. Engs, Asaph Slone, and J.
A. Charters, was partly destroyed, with its
contents —the amount of goods is said, to lie
large. The store No 68 Pine, occupied by
Messrs. Stone & Otis, although in immi
nent danger fi>r a short time, was but slight
ly damaged, but the contents were much
injured by water. The store No 74 Pine
street, occupied by Messrs. F & 11 Shel
don & Co. and Alley & Trimble, although
surrounded with flames, wh, tfe believe,
saved from injury. 'The adj lining stores of
Messes. Burns and Halliburton, and E.
Riggs, also escaped injury. The buildings
where the fire commenced, were all situat
ed on the new street now opening from Wil
liam to Pearl-streets; and ought to have
been removed some time since. Their si
tuation in the rear of some of the valuable
stores in the city, has been always danger
ous, and had the fire broke out at midnight,
the destruction must have been nine > grea
ter; as if is, he Insurance Offices will suf
fer severely. No damage was done to the
stores fronting on Maiden-lane and Pearl
street, which for a short time were in dan
ger. The houses partly destroyed in Pine
street. were the property of Ribert Lenox,
FLquire.
The Chief E igineer requests us to add,
in conclusion, a request >hat the merchants
Would not stow away their hemp within
three feet of the walls. Had it not been for
the hemp in the Pine-street stores, those
buildings would nut have fire.
