York. Von will probably see it published hv the
j time tins reaches you. In relation In the discus
, sion between Mr. Randolph, and myself, in the Se
nate, of which o stnteini nt is annexed to the address,
whnt belter evidence ronld he given that there is
no fMiMsihdity of satisfying my political enemies hv
any thing that I could write, Ilian the garbled oe
c-uirit which they have given of tb it d senssem? If
llie charge made upon me hy Mr Randolph is an
thenlie, taken from a newspaper rej»/»rl, surely, my
answer to him should he considered so also. It is
worthy of remark 100, that Mr. Randolph made no
reply lu my answer lo his attack, and that he was
not a man to leave a mailer in that situation if he
con'd avoid it—The truth is, that I believe he re
ally regretted his attack upon me. He repeated
told me so, and Irequenlly solicited me to bury the
hatchet at o friendly dinner w ith turn,which I agreed
to do. A' lhe(dinnvr were Mr < 'nlkoun. Mr. Hayne
and (#en. Hamilton and many others, all hut myself
of the then Jackson party Our friendly inter
course was nexer nftr rwords in’crnipied. In reply
j to your inquiry, ns to my vnimeclion with the old
Federal parti. 1 will slate lo you the circumstances
under which I received two nppou.talents from Mr.
John Adams. In the year 17'Jfi, Gen. Wayne left
; the Army on a visit to Philadelphia I had been re
j cernly married and tendered i«* him rny rosignalmn
I as his nid de camp, but he d -dined receiving it;
i saying he could very web dispense with my services
I in Ins journey. It was during thin trip that he ob
tained llie promise of Gen NN nslnngton to give me
a civil appointment, ns I had expressed my deter
mination lo leave the Army. This promise, the
President repented to my hrmher, (airier H Har
rison, then in Congress, with sumo very kind rc
| marks upon my conduct fn the Army. Whcnf»cn.
I Washington left the Presidency, I have mason to
I believe, that he obtained a promise fr-.in Mr Adams
to fu’lii Ins intentions. When the office of the Se
cretary of the North Western Territory became
I vacant. Mr. Ad ims appointed me, although I was
opposed by Col. Pickering, the Secretary of State.
| In 17U3, 1 was selected by the Republican party of
llie Territorial Legislature to he their candidate for
the oppoinlmeni of delegate lo Congress. Between
Mr. Arthur St. Clair Jr. (the son of Csov. St. Ck»ir,
the Federal candidate and myself, the votes were
divided precisely as flic two parties stood in the Le
i gislaturc, with the exception of one Republican
! who was induced hy hi* regard for the Governor to
vote for his son. llie vote was 11 to 10, not one of
the nine Federalists voting for me. Be fire I left
I Cincinnati, the Republican members* made me pro
| mise not lo Buffer my known opposition to llie mea
sures of the Administration not to interfere with
1 the attainment of the great object fur which I was
1 sent. Upon my arrival in Philadelphia, I was re
i ceived by Mr Adams in the most flattering manner.
At his dinner parties, where 1 was often a guest, he
seemed to take great pleasure in speaking of rny
father’s services in the Revolutionary Congress, re
lating many anecdotes to shew his devotion to tie
cause, and the effect which his pleasantries produ
f ced in cheering them in the gloom, which the occa
' sionally unpromising stale of their affairs often pro
duced. 1 had no conversation with Mr. Adams on
1 politics, farther than lo explain to him my views in
I relation to the change in the system of selling the
j Public Lands, which 1 was glad to find he approved
i As soon ae the law was passed for the division ol
’ the North Wcitern Territory, I was informed that
- it was the intention of Mr. Adums lo nominate inc
io the Government of Indiana. I hesitated not a
moment to declare that I would not accept it, aL
I though very much pressed lo do so hv several lead
i ing Federal members of Congress I was not long
in discovering the motives of those gentlemen
There had been some meetings of the people of
| Hie Territory, in which resolutions had been adopted
recommending me to the President for the Govern
ment of the Territory, (North Western) in-load of
Gov. St. Clair.
r Those resolutions, with correspondent addresses. ‘
had been forwarded to llie President and Senate
Now ii mi happened that two distingui>hed Senators
had fixed their eyes upon the same office. One of
I them, who had been most urgent for me to an to In
diana, had large possessions in the North Western ,
j Territory, which was proh hly one reason for his
w ishing io go there. Hut the main object was lo
’ secure the Terrifniy to the Federal porf\*, when it
* should become n Suite, which il was known would
won be the case To carry out this plan, n was
necessary to gel me out of ihe wav The appoint
ment was pressed noon mr, notwithstanding my re
fusal t.i take it At length,my relations and Iriends,
the Messrs. Nicholas, NVilson Carv of the Senate,
and John of the House, prevailed on me to accept
I, it. They pointed out ih« advantages to myself, and
t assured me that there was no doubt of Mr. .L ff r
? son’s election in the ensuing November, and that I
I would he cm tinned Governnr of Indiana, mid some
Republican succeed Governor St (dear in the North
Western Term -ry.
I therefore an epted the appointment, with a de
’ lerminmion ns Indiana had no voice in llie choice
of the President, that ! would take no part in the ;
conest
I have thus riven yon n full account of my con
( n r xi"ti with the Presidencvof Mr. Adams. I will
c include hy saying, t!mt Mr Jefferson lost no time,
after Id?-* inauguration, to assure m" of his favor and
1 Ins ••onfidcncc, and I think there is snlKcieni evi
dern that I retained both to the cud of his nd
’ ministration.

“Abolition” in designating n society of which I
was a member in Richmond, in the year 1701, in
* Mend o| ihe xv'ird ‘*Hninane,’' winch is known to

TO OUR rO.NSTITI'I' NTS.
Knowing the interest you fe« 1 in the opinion-* of
j- the candidates for the Presidency, on the subject 1
, of Abolition: and having seen n letter of General
I Harrison, recently i üblishcd in the Richmond
NVhig, lending to show ilml he is not nn Abolition j
j is", xvc feel if onrdn'y to communicate to yon cor
t lain evidence, which we have ourselves seen, of n (
s contrary tendency. Il was recently slated hy one
, of the speakers at nn Abolition convention in Hus
ton, that the II »n. NV. H. Calhoun, a Whig member
j of the House of Representatives, from Mtissnelm
j setts, had written home letters, mnk ng statements ,
on the niilhoriiy of (»cn. Harrison himself, wliie.h
„ went to identify him with the Abolitionists; that
1 llie letters contained an injunetion not to let them 1
gel into the newspapers, full that copies of them
~ had been multiplied, and secrollv shown to the A
holitionisis, for the purpose of convincing them
I that the General was one of ’.hem
. r »lli insi., Nlr.
f Calhotm made a pnhlicntion admitting that lie had,
on the lih Feb miry Inst, written home one letter
r mi the topic in question ; that this letter was based (
| upon a letter from Gen Harrison himself, which
j had that morning been pul into his hands for peru
sal ; ihotGcn ILirrison’s letter contained nn in-
I junction not to allow it to he pit I>l|Hied in llie news
papers; that in consequence of this injunction, he
annexed a similar on© to his leiti rr; hill that he had

‘Sir ; I observed in the doings of llie Anti-slave
ry convention at Springfield, a resolution dsn'-nm -
mg Gen Harrison. I think tin* premature, to say I
I Ihe least of it. I have seen n letter from llie Gen- ,
ernl. in which he pronounces the story circulating
J in ihe press or West, (not certain which.) I hot he,
while Governor of Indiana, for Icn years, done eve
’ ry thing in Ins power to spread slavery, a foul
slander, and speaks of it with great indignation,
and says that il would he impossible for him lo do
any tiling of ihe kind, either privately nr publicly,
for the reason, he says* that while only eighteen
" years of age, in Virginia, he joined on Abolition
society, and, with the other members of (lie same *
■ pledgi d Jo do every thing in his power lo
effect ihe emancipation of slaves—that lie was lo j
inherit a large properly in slaves, and subsequently
not only emancipated his own, hut purchased oth
* rrs, for the purpose of emancipating them, 'rids
H is whnt the General himself says. I w rite you tins j

1 The Idler of Gen. Harrison, herein alluded lo is
» understood lo have been addressed lu the Honorn
f Ido George Fvrms n Whig member of llie Home
from ihe Stale of Maine.
/ 'I lie Idler of the Oswego Union Association,
1 nskinirGcn. Harrison’s opinions on ihe subject of
h Abolition, was dated Jan. 31, 1840, and intist have
been n reived about the lime his letter lo Mr F.v
--t ans was written, inasmuch ns that Idler was shown
. io Mr Calhoun on the 4th of February. The Os
, wego Idler was answered hy the committee,
(J w ynne, Wright, and Spencer, on ihe 2'Jlli of Fell
h ruary, to whom ihe General admit**, in his Idler to
- the Hon. Joseph L Williams, nn extract of which
was published in the National Intelligencer of the
. I lih iii M.. he turned over many letters for reply.
l* How, then, stand llie facts ?
In January last, Gen. Harrison himself writes n
. letter io Mr F.vnns, containing nn injunction ihat
it should no» he allowed i" into ihe newspapers,
» Ihe MihsliHicc of which was secretly used losniis
s fy ihe Aholiiioitisls that he was one of (hem, upon
. his n■!'u nnthnriiff.
P In Fehrunry last, his committee, in rep’y to the
h Oswego Ic’ler, said : ‘*7 Ac jinhri/ is, thnl the Gene
rnl W'lh* no further declaration of his jjriln i /ths for
f tin- puhlir e',e vhilsl occupying his present position
x On the lOih April Inst, ihc(»enernl declared lo
n Capt Chambers and ('. Van Hurkirk, Ksq , who
) were hearers of a letter lo him from Louisville,
c Kv. QJ-kine his opinions on the subject of Abolition,
. "Ihat nothing m ull induce, him to answer surh in
n terrogntorirs earning either from f tends or foes."
U Yet, in January InM, General Harrison did not
f hesitate lo write to Mr. Kvans, giving such a color
ft to Ins course and opinions on the subject of slavery
and Abolition ns to enable his friends nl ihe North
i- to elcctioner r for him as an Abolitionist; with u
h strict injunction, however; that his letter should not
« be allowed to get into the newspapers.
». And now we have his letter of June Ist, to Mr.
r Lyons of Virginia, so worded ns to enable Ins friends
e of the South to electioneer for him, as opposed to
y Abolition ; in which Idler, he says, Ido not wish
•- what I have said above to ho published.
c NVe should not consider the interests of the A
i merienn people safe in ilie hands of a man who re
i- fuses his principles for the public rye, tut does
». not hesitate in his private letters, written with ex
n press injunctions that they shall not be seen by the
n public, lo give such coloring to those principles os
e ! may be best calculated to get votes, without regard
L to frankness or consistency
,f We should deem the interests of our ronstito
it eots peculiarly unsafe in the h&ndt* cf any man,
whether really an Abolitionist or not, who run, for
a moment, reconcile il to himself, privately to court
those dangerous fanatics with a view to their poli
tical support; thereby giving them confidence and
increase of strength in their mad warfare, upon our
pence, otir property, and our lives.
This is a matter which admits of no intrigue, al
tering or compromise
For the secret tamper.nff with Abolitionism, now
disclosed. Gen Harrison should, in ynr opinion, hr
treated ns an Abolitionist hy every friend of the
•South nnd of the Union
The dancer in which we consider your den re.*l
interests placed hy this secret ijlanngr ment nnd |
double dealing, ts our chief inducement to make
you thin communication.

a test in any election m onr Stale. 1 have never, i
however, hesitated to exj tress my opinion on the i
subject. I confess that Mr. Van Bnivn hits agreea
bly disappointed me. in the (inline** and conMstenev
; with which lie has administered the Government, |
and that his lending measures so Car, have met tin
' cordial approbation. Without pledging myself'to,
any indiscriminate support of Ins administration, I
j have no hesitation na«, in saying (hat I prefer him

1 have always h aul an advocate of the linlepeinl

thorough reform in the present hanking system,

As regards Mr. Calhoun, no inti rrnplion whatev- ■

J best on, I have had no political eninninnicaliou for ,

FLORIDA.
In continuation of die remarks utiered in tin- Bo I
of B.itni‘diiv evening, J ime 20th, permit in • to add n
few more, even upon so trite a tlieme as die “Semi
iiol*‘war.” It is evident to all who r.Mid the papers,
I and ohs.Mve the nmning events of the day, that I,a
, n ally live years die war bus been carried on, and
, pu-hedbv onr troop? even “into Afriua.” In ni\
. at iie| of ihi- 20th, il is iiitirmed llnd the war can b
, tin.vli d only by olf’ring rewards to those adventur
ous spirits who will go into the country single hand
ed, and limit out Bieen miiv as the backwoods in n
limit the animals of die forest. To do tins in Flori
da, and against the Semino es, i- not children’s play,
i and requires a degree of nerve and moral eonrag
possessed hy but few men in those “piping limes of
pence.” il has been said that the war could he
“finished" only in lids way, and in support of lids
assertion, I beg leave, to give ihe following reasons: '
In the prosecution of this war all kinds of men
have been employed, every species of troops tried,
1 regulars and volunteers from N w Voik, iVnnsylvn- ,
nia, South Carolina,Georgia, Alabama,Mississippi,
1 .oitisiaiia, Tennessee, Missonri and I ’lorida, besides
l friendly Indians, Cherokee.-, Creeks, Delawares and
Shawnee.-'. These have been under the command (
of Scott, Gaines, (bill, Clinch, Jesnp and Taylor.—
The w'.arhas ni-t in human 1 it*' n Miry seventy olliccrs
and seven Inmdi. d soldi. ts, —in money nearly (hit -
t v millions of dollars. Indeed, if it were possible to
; arrive at the actual slate of the ease, (his estimate
: would probably he found rather underrated.
| To say dial the war is fmisoed, or us n.'ureoneln
-1 sion as it was before hostilities commenced, is high
ly idle and absurd, Tor these reasons:
, Ist. The enemy will not meet our troops embodied. I
They have not dune so since the battle Ol’Okeechhee,
■Jdth December, 1337, (General Taylor) nnd the ue- |
lion on Loehahuehee, January 21lh, 1337, (General
Jesnp). Bodies of men, from half a dozen in mini- j
• her up to columns by regiments, have been sent
( against them with no other cilia ( than loss on onr 1
part.
2d. Because lb • efl’irls of onr gallant army have
1 not been m ole against a brave, visible nnd powerful
enemy, nr as some w ill have il, against “a handful ol
half starved, naked and mis.rahle savages,” but in 1
tin' main against the t’i.iM v ri: and roroniiAPitv of
Florida
3d. Beeans * the Cuba hound (about the employ- ;
in Mil of whieh so iniieli mawkish sensihilii v has
been shown by certain people, and which still serves
as a plaything for very many editors,) has been tried
, with no decided success; tins animal evincing'just as 1
in tic Ii sagacity on the trial of an Indian u» any other
bound.
, j -lib. Born use there is no reason to believe that
Congress will authorize the employment of a force
I snllieionlly large lo cover th * w hole country. And
if this force is organized, such means must he taken
I , ns will force the enemy to remain in one section ot
• I the country, so that a point may be had against
which oiireflbris may he brought to hear. Inclcpen- |
i dent of the military principle, that your enemy i
should always he kept in your front, never permit tc I
! to attack or see.ivfr* liinisell in your rear, in or:I *r so
lo confine ilia Seminole* a kind of Chinese wall mn«t
ha constructed, a cordon of posts within sightofeaeh
other must he established, or in mi must he station, d
at intervals of six lent from cae.h oilier. All ellipse
propositions are impracticable if not impossible.
bill. Because tin*. General on ill' spot, and com
manding in the field, should have the sole direction |
1 of operations; opening of road*, disposition ol ;
; troops, selection of positions, building ol pots, etc., .
etc.
; i Gtli. Because the Commanding Generals have
not received on all occasions that countenance and 1
ipport which they had a right, and il was their dil
ls to expect in the prosecution of such a contest. —
, \Ve must not he understood as reflecting in lln: I. .i f
I upon the Secretary of War, who has always evinced
, an anxiety and zeal w orthy of a more prosperous
cause.
7ili. Because Colonel Benton’s proposition to
provide for the armed occupation of Florida, and
lor other purposes, bus not passed the lower house
of Congress, nor are there lavoralde probabilities of
its becoming a law.
For (he-e and other reason*, the war is not yet
i “finished.”
I n this age ol* covetousness nnd of humbug, when
ev rv man's hand is raised against Ihe goods ul his
brother, tin'maxim “get what you cun, and keep
what you get” appears to have universal application
and influence. 'I he thirst for gain operating so uni
formly in the Imnsactionoofevery day life, is scarce
ly conceivable w hy men would not attempt Cor mo
ney, for “hire and salary,” greater and more danger
ous deeds (ban they would from tlx* impulse ofhoii
or and thirst for renown. In the frigid slate of onr ,
1 patriotism people will risk their lives,sacrifice their
ease ami comfort, forego the pleasures of home and ,
1 civilization and roam through sandshoilCiilh a bnrn
i ing sun, enduring everv privation for money—not
for love, in n war with anycivalized nation, where
an open Ii dd and a fair light might occasionally bu
looked for, doubtless the yeom mry of the country —
the hnrdv adventurers of tun w :M nnd southwest —
would biicklc on their armor and go forth to the
battle with much the same speed and actuated hy
Tie same motives as were our countryman in Vti ,
and ’l2.
None other than an idiotic fancy can posse** any
man who, ol this day, and under Mich adverse cir
cmnstii'iccs, volunteer* in ihe Seminole War! If
be does any thing he never receive* any credit for
it. The scene of action i« too far removed or the j
loMes of life too many and from causes 100 vnriou*
to excite ihe ambition of men. There's nought to
gam —and the prospect* of lotting all are too many
andpalimldc.
Under such circumstances llm most expeditions
and economical way of closing this vexatious and
hitherto expensive contest is the plan of rewards, i
'The enterprise and love of money common lo a cer
tain portion of onr people would make the swamps
and hammocks alive with men hunting for the In
dian a* they would for the beast* of tlie forest.—
This would be done nt a risk—hut tlu* risk is only
encountered for a “valuable consideration.”
'The point above alluded 10. viz—that the climate
nnd topography of the seat of war, have been and
i will continue to be the main cause of failure in any
C attempt to carry on systematic operations, i* a
strong one. It i* to be hoped that when men are
> acquainted with the facts of the ease, they will dis
continue th ir ungenerous remark* upon the Secre
tary of War, and the gallant portion of our unuy en
• gaged in bncli a thankless service. W.

The following information, furnished by n resi
dent of Havana, contains full particulars of the loss
of lho Hr. hi ig Vernon, and her cap*tire by pirates.
Ist May, ! HO -together with a fist ot tluj crew
saved and those murdered :
The Hr. brig Vernon, left Jamaica ‘J(sth April, for
Halifax, witli a cargo ol U.'» puuelieons of Rum, and
a crew coun>iin; r . of James Cunningham master,
nod John Met 'loud mate, r« rodents ol I ialifnx Geo.
.McCoy, lh ij Peach, Kdwd. Norton, and James
I’ylor, (colored man) cook. On the Ist .May, at 1(1
\. M.. Cape Antonio, hearing south by west three
1< agues distant, « boat was seen coming from the
•hore and making f*r the brig —at first sight the
i a .tain supposing it to In' filled with some ship
wrecked •cameo. In; bore down for it, hut the wnd
being light there was hot little progress made. On
the proximity of the brig to the boat, I lie latter was
discovered to contain 7 men, armed uilb muskets
and knives. W b n w itliin reach ol their shots they
poured vnlh v after volley at the brig's crew, who
were obliged to ret rent below, with the exception
of the unite and one seaman, who took n fuga he
bind the mast', Here they ictiiained without any
Impes ol life e\e jit by (jnicl submission, for thorn
were no arms on hoard, until the pirates came
aloof .sale, when by a motion logo hclovv, made by
ibe w :ii\ mg of (lie band of one of the pirates, they
mo reluctantly went below, and thus left the decks
(dear for the pirates, who immediately hoarded and
ordered tin* Captain to coinr on deck.
On tin* Captain ohe\ing their command, one of
i them Mahal 1 1ml a Spanish Man uf-VVar was lying
m ihe i» v* r, mid had sent for their papers. They
next ordered the ll ig lo he hoisted and the vessel
s' cored for the land, which was done, and ut night
the brig v\a■ mndioied in shore, close to a fisher
•null’s hot. The sails were clued up and the cn-w
otdored aloft to furl them. After this was done
they conducted each olio as ho came from aloft and
• ntim d lln in all lovether i’i the fore rustle and
■ I •:-ed o' tight fn a hunt one lour uml a half they
opened (he scuttle and ordered them on dock. ()ii
reaching the deck they found an addition to the pi
rites' gang of four fishermen, who, with the first,
wire eating mid drinking. Thu crew were (lieu
allowed somethin.* lo eat. Ihi ring the whole night
a stru t watch was kept tty the pirates, and no one
was allowed lo approach them
The next morning they ordered the crew to get
the brig undi ran), mid alter all the sails were set,
they slee t'd the \esscl about It n miles along the
coast where a river discharged itself into the sea.
1 p thi a ri %it liny conducted the brig about six
miles inland—the name of the river is I'mito del
Km; here they ran the brig ashore and ordered the
crew to discharge the cargo. They obliged Cap.
lam Cunningham to iissim mi discharging, although
Ihn was h i h!e from age. \N hen the cargo wasoni,
they ordinal I he Captain and three of the crew into
their boat, w Inch already hail live pirates in it. The
Pirates told them all that they w• re not going to
kill (hem, hut going to get halJiiM for me hr g.
They made the sailors row the boat, and when about
lour gnu shots l orn the brig, the work of death be
gan, hy one of the Pirates, in the how of the hoot,
j stubbing llie Cookinliie heart. This was about I
I o'clock,and (lie signalJbey bud lo comtuotiee the
massacre was the older lo cense rowing, A flee
killing the t 'ook lin y threw his body overboard, and
I ti-eti stubbed him again while in the water. At
ibis mono m young Peach sprang overboard and
j made for the shore, among the Mangrove bushes in
j winch he secreted himself. Once bo looked back
■ and saw the Captain's bend over tin* gunwale of the
(mat, mid saw (tie Pirates coning |,i s throat. The
i body of another sailor, Hdward Norton, of Hast
port, (Mo.) was hanging lifeless athwart the boat
Voting Peaeh, alter thus escaping from their
hands, travelled ton miles through Mangrove hushes
part of the tune, and swimming the remainder. Jlo
, was stripped as tin y all were by the IN rates, of
I every tiling but liietr pantaloons. Hence, his feet
were continually bleeding from the cuts he received
on the coral rocks. I luring this long period, be had
nothing In subsist on bill a will pigcmii he killed
with u stick on the i-ccund morning in the Man
grove bushes. Still he wandered on sucking the
j blood and ruling the flesh of (his bird. At last ho
saw n sinuil schooner sailing along the coast, but it
growing dark, ho soon lost sight of her. Here ho
slept ailing ft, mid on the nmrrovv ho saw with mis
trust the schooner bad reached in shore, and fearing
he was about to fall into the hands of sumo of the
same gang, lie hesitated a moment, but such was his
miserable condition from Marvalion and thirst, and
1 the heat of the sun on his hare body, licit he hud
rallicrdie than continue such a mi enable existence
; —he therefore sw am oil' to the soli oner and threw
himself upon his knees and begged for life and wa
ter. The Captain not undtr-i indtrighim, Imi sup
posing he was a east away sailor, look care ol him,
and by signs made him understand ho was safe.
Alter seeing the imibrtuir.ua man attended to,
(■apt. Anloni'in Peloso, the worthy commander of
the Sclio liter, cmisicd ul mg the shore in search of
the vessel supposed lo bo wrecked. When within
1 U nii'cs of C;i| e Antonio, ho landed at tho spot
winch the laigiisli bailor pointed out, thinking licit
t the voids was there, and having no suspicion
of Pira'cs. (fit (a a Peso-o's landing he was
met by the seven Pirates and four Fishermen,
who threatened Ins fife, but by artifice lie deceiv
« d them and g lined their confidence From I hem
he gained the intelligence of an FiiglKh Hng hav
ing been taken, and pin of llimr crew murdered,
licit two were still a live but would soon be put lo
death. It was now liail the brave ‘Spanish Ch|>i.
Hon Antonio Peloso determined to save these un
i fortunate* or die in the attempt, llogavo the Pi
rates three muskets and invited them to breakfast
wi ll him on the, morrow, hut before leaving tutni
he sought an opportunity of seeing tho two sailors
who were in ihoir power and slid alive. The Pirate
('upturn said, ih it i iter murdering the Captain and
partofthe new he reserved the rest to paint their
boat and mend their sails—that imwllio work was
done, and to-morrow they must die. In order to
gain greater confidence with the Pirates, Cupt. An
tonio Peloso informed them licit he had picked up
on the coast an Knglish sailor, who probably bad
escaped from tins vessel, and to-morrow when they
came olfo breakfast they should have him. Thus
! they parted for ho night On to-morrow,the Pirates,
faithful lo their engagement, came on hoard (’apt.
