Extract of n letter front Mr. Randall to Mr. Adams,
dated; Havana, July 14, 1H24.
It may he noW assumed us an undoubt
ed fact, tlint the crime of piracy is not
limited to the mariners Who arc the active
ugcuts in its perpetration, hut has advo
cates and pnrtiznns iu a very numerous
class of the inhabitants of this Island Of
the hitter class many have a direct concern
in the equipment and arming of those ves
sels, and a participation in their plunder
Others, amongst tile planters nit the Coast
and the merchants, ate indirectly concern
cd in the great profit derived from purcha
sing the property plundered from them.
Besides thoso persons, thus concerned, tliu
Spaniards of this Island, generally, ob
serve with perfect npnthy, and some even
with pleasure, those depredations against
the commerce of,the United States; for,
it is not n little extraordinary, 5 that one
may hear in tho streets of Mataitzns, and
even of this city, this most odious crime
warmly defended, on principle, by men of
property, and deemed respectable hero.
They urge in its defence, that it is but p
retaliation for. the conduct of the citizens
of the United .States in capturing, Under
the Insurgeut flag, the property of Span
iards. They say that the conduct of the
people of Regia And Matanzas, and other
places from which the pirates issue, is no
worse than that pursued in certain places
rn the United States, which they numc.
Many of tlit- Spanish mcrchnnts have sus
tained immense lot seS from captures made
by Colombian aud otlior vessels of war,
and privateers, commanded nnd partly
manned by citizens of the United States;
and they assert t hat the conduct of our go
vernment and its citizens, in this particu
lar,is no less reprehensible than that which
is charged against the Spaniards in res
pect to -pirapy. I shall not stop to show

The Legislature of Ncw-York hav?
passed a resolution authorising the Gover
nor of that State to procure a full length
likeness of Gen. La Fayette, and to place
i,t in some profiler pluce in the Capitol, and
also authorising the Governor ! to receive
)f the horrible transactions of the purirtd
to which it alludes. For that reason 1
mention it, that it may he referred to for
further information. 1 beg leave, for fur
ther continuation of the opinions above
advanced, to mention one other fiict, which
1 Imvo received from u gentleman of un
questionable veracity.
A representation Was made to the Cnpt.
General, about the period of the greatest
activity amongst the pirates, that a large
sum of money in doubloons, which ltad
been plundered from a Boston vessel, had
been traced to Itcgln, and could there he
fotinil and identified. information hau
been given by one of tlic pirates concern*
cd in tho dapturc. After instituting mi
examination, the Captain General sent
for the claimant, and informed him, “that
he feared all Regia would be fotihd to he
ituplicateiipn the robbery! and that, in tho
present disturbed and critical condition
of the Island, ho dared r not'push the in# ■
vestigation further;’* and iso the dffAir
rented.
While, then, these practices, st> far
from finding a coraective or check in the
moral feeling of this community, arc rath
er countenanced and aided by it, it is ob-
vmits,\tluit a government of even greater
energy and virtue than that of this island,
would be scarcely adequate to their sttp-
pressipAk But* with tho exception of the
present chief this govern meat j ahd a very
few of its highest officers^ it is more than
stlspcbtcd, tliatthiTgrent majority of these
pubic agents are either indifferent or feel
nn intorest adverse to its suppression.—
Participating in the general prejudices of
tiieir countrymen, they havo also a pecu
niary interest in occasionally conniving at
thoso robberies, anil in'protecting their
perpetrators from the hands of justice.—
I should not have credited those churgcs
hut upon tho most undoubted testimony.
Various facts have been mentioned to me
by resident merchants, ofthe highest res
pectability, of this place, as being known
’ to thorn personally, whore tho officers of
the customs; nnd others, havogot posses-
sitm of property, known to have been
Captured by pirates, and have applied the
whole or the greater part to their own use,
preventing the legal owners from all
chunco of identifying and recovering their
property: where they have, for large re
wards, suffered persons known to bo pi
rates, to escape from justice. The case
of the cargo of the Jamaica coffoe brought
to this place, which is referred to in the
Charleston Courier, above mentioned,was
told to mo ns nn undoubted frtet, before I
had rend it from that paper. .Even whore
a few of the pirates have had the singular
ill-fortune to be arrested mid confined in
prison, they either manage to escape hv
bribery, or-they are confined without tri
al, until their names, and offences have
bee n fo rgotte n, and their crimes no longe r
susceptible of proof.
■In aid of those moral causes, there ex
ist others, of a local and physical charac
ter, furnishing those marauders the means
both of annoyance nnd protection. The
numerous ports of this island, only partial
ly visited by, and known to, strangers, af
ford them every facility to secure tiieir
pluudcr, and evade the most rigorous pur-
suit.
Whatever disposition, then, the present
Governor may evince to suppress this
crime, (and, from the information I have
received, he has used every exertion,) his
efforts, unaided by the executive orders,
by the tribunals, and. by public opinion,
will be powerless nnd ineffectual; nor can
more satisfactory results be anticipated

who, for the sake of plunder, have engag

out the great difference ofrturpitude in tho
respective practices. I merely mention
the opimorts of these Spaniards, to.give

mehts they utter, which would, otherwise,
from their extreme perversity and iromo

In the city of Pbilpdelplna a number of
patriotic gentlemen havo associated therri-
sfclycfi undo:* tli« udeof “the Pennsylvania
•Sticiety for the jiromotion of internal Im
provements in the commonwealth,” the
object of which is at once explained Ty
the name which distinguishes it.
A publication appeared in the Charles
ton Uuiiricijtn or about September, 1823,
iu relation to this subject, containing a dle-
tuil'of the tratisaetioiis at Ilcgla. A suit
was brought in the Court of Curolian, hy
tf Spaniard of Rog|a, against tlie editor of
the* Courier, for a iihclh in clinrgihg him
tv ill: being ciiimerned witli tho pi rates. A
commission has been sent to this place to
exatnitie witnesses in hehajf of the defen-
duht/'in jlistiflciUjon of-the publication,
Ahd the corarpissum is now open. The
subject'is much talked of; and I have been
told by some of the Commissioners, tine! by
many^f the most respectable mbrehants
of this place, tlial every allegation in the
piece charged as libellipus, is unquestiona
bly true, and susceptible of full proof, if
witnesses date to declare the whole triithi
But, such is the fear of the prosecutor and
his associate, that it will be difficult to find
a witness hardy enough to expose }iimself
to the vengeance of those mch, by disclos
ing,, ut this place; what he khows of their
practices. The publication is said here
,to bo a true but faint nnd itopcrfect sketch
system of mere external preventive meas
ures, such ns havo been heretofore resort
ed to by the United States. If experience
had not conclusively settled the question,
the facts and reasons above stated would
seem sufficient to demonstrate, a priori,
the inefficacy of those measures - of pre
vention.
Notwithstanding -the large armament
maintained by the United States, on the
coast, attended with n profuse waste of
treasure, and with* the sacrifice of the
healths and lives of so many of their gal
lant crews, the only result has been, the
temporary mid partial interruption of the
practice, while the, source and cause of
the mischief have not been reached.
This naturally brings me to ap inquiry
as to the means adequate to' its suppres
sion; and the obvious result, from wlmt
has been said, is that- the remedy to be
effectual, must he applied directly to the
origin and seat ofthe evil. Public opin
ion in this island must be changed; and ns
this cannol be effected by reason dr the
voice of justice, it must be corrected by
forccythe authorities must be stimulated
by counter motives of interest or fear, to
the exercise of greater vigilance, and to
measures bf more rigdur and'severity a-
gaipsl delinquents. Those salutary chang
es, in my opinion, can enly be produced
by a rigid system of reprisals and hostile
ties, on the part of the United StAtcts,
gaijjsrSpanish property, and particular
ly that belonging to this island. . Tliis
plan is by tlo meafts netV, but has been
often suggested and (I am informed) by
the committee of ‘Foreign Relations,’ at
the last session of Congress, I have not
read the repo rt, hut am toTd the commit
tee forbear to recommend its immediate
adopiiOn, but advise the waiting the result
of up fippliention to thb supreme Govern
ment of Spain. If the views above pr'e-
sehtedi of the catlse and extent of the evil
be correct, jt is to be feared that* as at
present circumstanced, Spain can.do bin
iijttle'to remedy it. It is not believed that
she is nhle or willing to spare ah adequate
fofcCto eftW the object. New orders
maybe issued to tltfe'authorities here,ert-
joining greater vigilance and energy, but
it cartnot bo conceived that any greater
saheiibh or obligation catt be, thereby, su-
peradded to those v^iicli.ought already to
exist. Those howevbr, have been insuffi
cient thus far.
I urn riot unaware that the Executivef
without the sanction of Congress, is comi;
potent to apply-tbe above remedy. The
remarks are *wW,fttq impress the 'princi
ple l wish to inculcate, and which, 1 hope
will be concurred "b l!uU “'is remedy
must, in all probability, be eventually re
sorted to, and thus to induce eonx'spond-
im e; < paraticHyyffA'; ‘ •
Tbd reprisals should not bo confined
to the capturing of the foreign commerce
ofthe island,,nnd to its coasting trade;
bat should also extend to the levying of
ontrilmtions oh all places and towns oh
the Const (wherever asshilahle) at which
piratical vessels arc fitted not or received.
Tho advantages of this would he, that
every partoftiie community would pai taku
ofthe distressed cauaedby those retaliAto-
rv measures. Those participating,directly
or indirectly,woffid'bo detected and expos-'
edliy their exasperated 1 'country men, and
be .made to disgorge their plunder. Those
merely indifferent, or favbrtiblo to the
crithea ottlmso’pirntes would, through in

fiance (them. Tim planters w/iuld suiler
by the capture of their prtkjdcc in, tlie
coasting vessels; the merchants and others,
by the contributions levied on their pro
perty, ahd by the capture pud interruption
of their cortimerce.- The authorities
would bo incited to redoubled vigilance
nnd vigor, nnd, receiving the co-operntion
bf tho inhabitants, would, in a short time,
render the pursuit of tliis practice huzurd
mis and fruitless. For, when it shall have
been soon, that, for every capture made by
pirates from this island, striot and lull
retribution will be exacted, from the in
habitants, there can bo no doubt that the
great mass of the community will com
bine, to rid themselves of the cause of
this infliction; that, thus combined, tlmir
efforts would be adequate to its extinction
no reasonable doribt can be ascertained.
If n rigorous blockade of the ports of this
island was at the same tithe established
the dirsreis produced, as Well to individu
ills ns to tho government, in cutting oft' its
only source of supply nnd ordinary reve
nue, would soon iirihg all pirates to a pro
per sense of their true interest and duty
It would he punco css&ry nnd presump
tuous in me to offo r, seriously, to prove
that such n course, on the part of the U.
States, would be fully justified by every
principle of reason; and of international
law, applicable to the subject. Tho facts
ofthe fcase prove, that a iftrge part of the
people of this island arc engaged in 1ms
tilities ofthe most cruel and oppressiv
character, ngairtst the property and lives
of citizens of the TJ. States, without the
inclination or ability,op tho part of the
supreme government 6f Spain, or the
local authorities, to put n stop to it. No
thing short of this remedy can afford the
corrective, which is therefore, justified on
the great principles of humanity uni .self-
defence.

Extract of a lcftcr from Mr itanftall to
the Secretary of State,dated.
HAVANIA, 1st October, 1824.
“ I take the liberty to add some re
marks on the disposition and conduct of
the naval forces of tfec United .States,, on
this stutinn, which were, designed to be
employed in the suppression of piracy*,
It is here n matter Of common observa
tion and complaint! thuUtho snii-pi/atical
squadron has effected nothing against the
pirates, commcnstlrate with its numbers
and foVce, during the last six months.
This has not been owing to tlie want of
zeal,' of tenterprize,--or cdtirage, oil the
part of our officers and .seamen actually
engaged in this pursuit* but to their divef-
sibh t'o other objects, incompatible with
the efficient performance of this highly
important service, Sihce the. spring, the
vess els have been dispPrfeed on various sqr-
tlm whole effect of which is trt give a tri
fling premium of insurance td’otie class of
tli
community, which would otherwise
be paid to another class. In denouncing
this practice HSfpleti imental to the best in
terests of the iituMin, 1 but repeat the com
mon sent line pt of every man who Ikh
witnessed its <>fleets,, during the past, sum-
ner. If tlic benefit to commerce, by this
medium, for tlm transportation of specie,
ivof siim^ient importance, it may bo eft-
pted by vessels specially* designated for
that purpose. But experience shows that
the 'suppression of piracy and the tnms-
potalion of specie, on tho last 'system, "are
incompatible. The first uhfro is more
than suffieieut to occ'Upy all the time and
energies of any force wo can detach fin*
that setvlfec. It must be evident, that 'oil!
cfcrs arriving hbro, their vessels freighted
with huge siiin.Aof moiiekjr didlfrorahlo hi

ill", mid frequently dircctlyiudvcrse to tlm
porformnrtcfe' of some important sdrviee.
Such bus been ilia predifeamoftt of munj’
vessels of the TJnitcfl Slates, dcsigtm^l to
project our trade against the- pirates,
'which have merely toughed at this island,
in their vovtiges ty and from other Islarfds
out ofthe sphere of piracy, nnd the ports

of these cruizes. Tiioystop afthe larger
ports of this island barely time enough to
take in water and other supplies* to liuul
or receive specie, and then, i.fter a long
cruize, return to tho Unftet) States, their
usefulness limited to the convoying* oj*,u
few vessels from the coast, t trust the
notoriety oftlm practice here, Us effects
upon the character of the unvy and ofthe
nation, und moregspicially upon tImprop
er ty nnd lives of our citizens, will be suffi
cient to justify those'suggestions. I urn
aware tlmt it is n delicate subject, and
uot lightly or rnslily to be touched pbtft I
should illy discharge, my duty as an Amer
ican’ citizen, und as aji officer oftlm (Mv-
vrtuncut, if from un ill-time or false deli
cacy, I omitted to denounce n practice so
pregnant with miscliief.
I uin happy to mid, that captnid Kcnne
