Piracy and Murder —In (lie Kingstort,
Jain. Chronicle of the 3d of August, there
il a detailed account of a piracy ami
murder, attended will; very aggravated
circumstances. A boat was picked up
at sen, with four men oh board, belonging
to the sloop Blessing, Cnpt. Smith, wiricl)
on a fourth voyage from St. Jsgo de C<v
ba tn J nnaica, was fallen in .with by a pi
ratical vessel, commanded by a white mat)
with a mixed crew of colour and coun
tries,. among whom were English or A-
— ericans. ’
After bringing the sloop too, the pirates
look out the captain and hi* son, wide
ull the crew, and carried them on boatdt
the pchooner, leaving the sloop in posses,
sinn of his people ; he then demanded op
the captain his money ur his life. Th«. .
c.optuin stated lie had no Money, but prof*
leretl him tbe cargo, ton wist ing of 1000
hbls, Ilnur, and 30 tierces cnrn meal. On
the following day, not prnduci g any mo.
ney, a plank was run on the starboard
side of the scltr. upon which the pirate-
madeCapt. Smith walk, and as heap.*
proaclted the end, they tilted the plank,
when he dropped into theses, and when
in the effort of swimming, the piratical
captain called for his musket, and disw
churgtd it rt him, when lie sunk, and woa
seen no mote ! The rest of the crew
mere ironeo below, with the exception of
his son, a buy nbout 14, -ho witnessed
the fate nf his father. In the agony of
tears, and crying, the captain took Ilf)#
butt end of his musket, and k nocked thB
boy on tbe head ; and after took him by
the fool and hove him overboard. On ths
day following, having previously taken
out all the rigging, sails, &c. or the sloop,
the pirate set her nn fire and burnt her;
