. T ATROCIOUS CASE OF PIRACY. New ORLCALIEL JUNK 11.—Extract from the l o g-b oo k of the brig Aurilla, of New York, Captain Wing Howland, bound from Baltiinore to New Orleans On the 15th of May, finding the current in the gulf too strong, it was thought best to cross the Salt Key bank: when abort half over the bank, two schooners bore in sight, which at first view were of a suspioioue appearance. Immediately ordered all the nejroes upon deck, thinking to frighten them off if they were pirates. They tacked end stood from us—tie One astern hoisting a private signal, they soon after closed end bore down upon us; they brought us to with a shot, and fired into us after we had hove to; several grape shot passed over us, end others tvrough our sails : we struck our colours, and all went below. They boarded us and filed away for Salt K y, then in At 12, brought us to ',who.. in 2i fathoms water, ander the Wand. On hoarding us, they drove every person below except the Captain, and put on the skylight and hatchem—lfith, The Captain and his papers having been examined on deck, some of the pirates entered the cabin, where the mate and passengers were confined; they interrogated us as to the cargo and desti nation of the vessel, behaved politely, encouraged us not to feel alarmed, as they intended us no injury. The Captain was then ordered into the cabin, after which the whole company were token individually upon deck, aml required to confess if there was money on board, and there being none, negative answers wete of course given. Having proceeded through the wool nation of the whole, threatening at the sante time, if they fonnd any money, our lives should pay the forfeit, they again ordered us with the crew, into the cabin, threw a blanket over the com panion way, and placed a guard over us ; the slaves were in the meanwhile kept in the hold, a guard posted over them. After the lapse of a quarter of an hour, during which the pirates were inakiug preparation* to torture us to a confession that we bad mone y on ward, we were again summoned upon deck, begin ning with the sailors, then the captain, mate, and passengers, —(lbe passengers were called iu the following order—viz. Stephen W. Wikoff, Capt. John Campbell, William laiskeep, Chas. A Warfield, William Campbell.) Those who remained behind in the cabin, ruin the sound of arms, the agonizing growls and the prayers of their fellow passengers who went be fore them, and from the termination of their woeful sufferings by the report of pistols, were convinced they were to suffer a cruel death. So regular and systematic were the arrangements, and so well calculated to inspire terror sad to fill the breasts of ad with the most dreadful apprehensions, that every man marched upon the deck, expecting to meet inevitable death.— We were all in succesaion marched upon the deck, and tootle to run the gauntlet through 15 or 2(1 must ferocious and barbarous monsters dis A nised in the shape of lionise beings, from the cabin to the vanadium, being beaten most cruelly and unmerci fully with swords and pistols, until death would have been a welcome sisiter. We were then ordered to sit upon the windlass with our becks turned to them, there to be shot ; they put the pistols to our heads and fired them ; it is impossible t o describe our feelings, when, after the report of the pistols, we foetid ourselves still alive. This was the system of terror they adopted to compel us to a disclosure of owe bidden riches, as they imagined. We were immeoiately, es we were successively &spawned, ordered into the forecastle, there to await their further vengeance. Language fails to convey an adequate con ception of our astonishment and agreealle surprise, when we beheld our fellow passengers, who we believed were sacrificed to Spanish cupidity and sunk into their watery graves, still breathing the breath of life, but whose countenances still mom niunicated the cruel apprehension that harassed their minds.— lis this place we remained ruminating upon our situation, and anticipeting the most horrid consequences of Spanish barbarity. it is worth while to mention, that when we were brought to the windlass, we found it bloody, those hell-Wood. of war having; in order to convince us of the murder of our fellow passengers, killed • duck and sprinkled its blood about time windlass.) The sailor who had secreted himself being discovered, was baba rously beaten ; the poor fellow •believing that we were all dead, in order to obtain a cessation of his tortures, told the. pirates that he knew Mr. Wikoli bad a box of money in the afterhold ; to get at this box they col the cabin floor away and broke a few of die lockers, but their search was in vain, for there was no money ; they then recommenced to maltreat the sailor, who persisted in declaring that he knew there was • boa of money on booed; not being able to find it they beat the sailor most cruelly. Mrs Wilted' was thew ordered on deck ; as he was ascending a ruffian stabbed him in die thigh with a stiletto : being on deck, he was again barbarously treated, being stabbed in several places, and beaten with swords and pistols: in vain he declared he had no more money; in vain lie declared his ignorance of there being any on board; to CM) the climax of human buttering, they put a rope round his neck and hoisted him up to t., yard arm, then dropped biro almost lifeless into the chains, then struck him with swords, calling out for money; but he was too far gone to answer: they again hauled I' up to the yard arm, and when he was apparently dead they dropped kiln into the water, than drew him up and threw hint into the long boat; which was awneside the brig ; when he was able to move, they drew him oat desk, nod beat him back into the forecastle. At the sight of him bleeding profusely from several wounds, weakened from the loss of blood, and almost drowned, we all again were cer tain of undergoing the same cruel treatment. Is this horrid state of suspense we were suffered to remain for hours. Being disappointed in the object of their pursuit, they commenced to plunder the brig of every thing that was valuable—the captain of ail the brig's papers, sod his desk with all his private papers, and the passengers of all their valuable papers of every deacrip iloll, and trunks with all their contents ; tbey robbed us of all our clothing, watches, breast pins, and in fact of every thing except what we wore. About the sante time that they brought tile A areilo to anchor, they brought the brig Hiram, of New port, Captain Wiess ; and, as near as we could ascertain, the cvptain and his crew suffered severely. About five hours after they had captured us, they saw three sail crossing the bank, they ordered the captain to remaiu until morning for further orders, and that if he attempted to violate his orders all hands should be murdered and the brig set on fire, then made sail in Chas; of the three vessels, succeeded iu capturing two of them. and then returned to the anchorage near ns. About &o'clock, p.m. they came on board of us again, ransacked tee brig, and took away every thing they could find, even of the most trilling consiaerotion. At day-light a large party came on board, and made a thorough search throughout the brig, not the least thing of place was left unsearohed. At this time they left us scarcely any thing on board, a short allowance of provisions, and a few large boxes of furniture, which they were unable to take sway. They took likewise our colours, a new hawser, and the brig was robbed of every thing, It it impossible to conjecture what would have been our lot bad they not have captured so wetly vessels about the same time. About ten n.m. they ordered the capt tin to cot his cabk, and be oil' immediately ; the order ~,.x ... • - • •. • THE NATIONAL REG/STEII" was no sooner given than executed. A abort time after the *able was eat, and as we were making sail, we saw a boat with • n•a,ber of the pirates on board, ItPlooftiled us ; we eslteri raced the moat tenable apprebessioas of a speedy death. For some minutes we remained in the agony of suspense, said they boarded as sad demanded of the Capteis in Spa•isb his carpen ter ; but there being DO carpenter on board, or attatabed to the vessel, the captain answered that there was no carpenter on board. However, they still persisted that there was one, and if he was not delivered op immediately, they would murder all of as instantly. The rations fell to beating the captain, then the mate, most unmercifully. In the mean time some persons said than an old negro man named Simon was the carpenter, they fell to beating him, drove him into the boat, and took him off. They left us shout half after ten in the morning, all bands employed in repairing our rigging and stowing away what little cargo they could not take away ; the boxes, barrels, and pack ages nearly all broken open, some pf which were robbed of part of their contents, and others torn to pieces. As to the quantity robbed, we have not been able to ascertain." THE GREEK BLOCKADE. -- - The following is an extract of a letter from the agent to Lloyd's, in com municatu• ig an authentic copy of the Greek decree, by which a portion of the CIUSt6 of Turkey is placed in a state of blockade: SMYRNA, JUNE 27.—We think it may be important for the Committee and general Interests of Lloyd's, to receive the copy of an authentic document promulgated by the newly orga nized Greek Government at Corinth, arid of which we transmit • translation herewith, by which • certain exteut of Tnrkiell coast is declared in • state of blockade. At the same time, it is essential to state, that as far as we are aware, the command ers of the British and other ships of war in these parts resist the operation of this decree on their respective national mer chant flags, uor admit their violation under any pretext what ever. lo consequence, little alarm is felt here fur the shipping interests, nor do the masters of merchant vessels decline such voyages as are comprised in the prohibitory deelaration ; and it seems of a nature to prove of no effect in respect to the mer chant navigation of all Powers which have a sufficient , naval naval force here fur its protection. There is no forther public news in this quitter except the intelligence circulated of the fall of Napoli de Romania in the Mores, nor any sere advice. yet of the junction of the Egyptian fleet, or another squadron (which was on the point of leaving Constantinople), with the Captain Pscha's force off Scio. His Majesty's ship Crnabriaa is absent en • cruise and announced to be for &lonics. The city is in the meantime perfectly quiet, and no appearance of di. turbance. (Gorr.) Translated from the French, entitled " Literal Translation of the Manifest issued from Corinth relative to the blockade of the Mores, brc." " The Greek nation strenuosity employ all their strength in their contest against tyranny.. Their rights are known and in disputable. They base only is view the downfall of injustice by making great secrifices, arid endeavour to attain their ohjeet without in any manner giving umbrage to equitable govern ments. Knowing how to appreciate their own rights, they can not fail of being sensible of their duty. To establish the first, and determine the other, they have bad to declare their reso solution to live independent under their own Government.; to fulfil the sacred views of their country, they are bound to press their enemy on all points of resistance ; and they now declare. according to the laws of nations and of Europe, in a slate of blockade all the coasts still in the power of their enemies„either in Epirus, the Petoponnessus, &Men of Tliessaly, and esteuding from Epidamnum (l'oolsinj to Salouica. " The same prohibition is eqnally intended for the ports of the Isles in the Egean Sea, the Sporaden, and those of Camila still occupied by the Turks. In consequence, all vessels, after being duly acquainted with the present edict, either by the ad minds, or in their name by the commanders of the independent ships which shall enter either of the enemy's ports shove mo delled, shall be taken and detained in virtue of the present de cision of the Greek Admirals, in regard to foreign lags. The present decree shall be executed conformably to the date of its reception in each port, and as the Government may become in structed in that respect. Communications of the same will be given to all representatives of friendly Powers residing in the different places under the Greek dominion. " Corinth, March 13.1b22." . _ . RARE IMPORTATION. AND SINGULAR TRAFFIC.— John Brown, au officer anached to Lambeth-street Police Office, in vowing ou Friday morning through Cornwall street, St. George's in the East, °turning a sailor, who Was a little on before him, carry a bundle under his arm, of which lie seemed very careful, and appearing to have lately come front sea, the officer suspected that the bun. dle consisted of souse contraband goods, and went and. stopped him; when, to his no small astonishment, on examining the bundle, he Mond it to consist of the head of a coloured man, wrapped up in a handkerchief.. II ap;oears to have been ;neatened lit some manner, as the teeth, hair, whiskers, and large mustachios, were Tine firm in the flesh, winch bore the appearance of being baked ; the hair was very long, and the features seemed in as perfect shape as when the ;tenon bv , d; it had no OffeIISIVC staid' whatever; the eyes were plucked ow.— The sailor, in giving an account of this strange posses• sum. said his name was Fair, that he belonged to the Dart, South Sea whaler, lately conic home ; the head which he carried was that of a New Zealand Chief, which he got w Gough Island, where the Chief ain was shot, for his intolerable cruelty, and that he was then proceeding to the Brutish Museum, where lie expected to get a large price for the head, as he considered it a very valuable and rare curiosity. The officer, under these circumstances, let the poor tar depart, to make the best market he could.

It exhibited no appearance of decay. and appeared perfectly fresh, but when brought to land it soon changed for the worse. The identity was 3SCef tamed ny 'owe papers and the cards of this unfortunate gentleman, which wese found the pockets; and what is surprising, though the body remained for upwards of three months in the VINItt, theft papers were hound very little injured. There were also (missal in the pockets one sovereign, a small piece of gold, and a SWAIi case with a lack 01 hair tied ap 111 it. :";."41, IPWMP • urn FUNERAL or Ma. hoes alisay, iss CONEDIANi—Ja Thursday afteroooc last, the eermaBoo eig Wowing the remains• of this celebrated actor, for iatenstrat, leek place, whoa the deepest int seemed to prevail in the Imeaeteof members of individuals of every dug, who assembled round the litleae of the deceased, prior to the body kaviug been brought from its melancholy abode to be carried to its destinstiou. About three o'clock a hearse, followed by five mouthing coaches... drove up • to the deceased's house, in Hyd , Bloomsbury, and in a short time after the coffin, containing the body, was brought from the boast" and deposited in the hearse—and it bore the following inscription :—•• Mr. John Eatery, died Jily Nth, 1822, aged 48." Horatio, Robert, John and William Emery, sons of the deceased, were in the first emelt as chief mourners, the others were filled by his progressional friends. The proces sion moved on slowly through Hyde-street, Bury-place;.Hart-• street, Bloomsbury-square ; Southampton street, Holborat and so on to Saint Andrew's Church yard, wiser', on their arrival, a vast concourse of spectators had assembled to view the erre mony. On the cofiin having been taken from the hearse, the mourners slighted from the carriages, and followed the proems shim to the body of the church, preceded by the clergyman, • reading part of the funeral ceremony. The pews of the church were already crammed, and amongst the auditory werecogniaed the features of many ancient actors, who attended to witness this last ceremony performed over their respected brother, and the tears wets to be seen trickling down their cheeks, as if it were a member of their own families that they had lost. In fact the whole assemblage seemed to possess but one feeling on the occasion, at losing a member of society who had so fre-• trendy tended to amuse them, and drive away the Care of dal . moments. During the funeral prayers the members of the pro fession to whieb he belonged, including these wbe were mourn ers, were observed to indulge in tie toeseeteessive grief, end during the period were employed wipin„; the tears from their eyes. After the ceremony the procession moved towards the vault, at the Holborn aide of the church, where the body was :deposited. The crowd was so great, and particularly taxioue, dbat much difficulty wawcaused to make a passage foe the pro cession. On the eolith, &o. being placed indite vault, the latter part of the ceremony was read, and the scene bore thee greatest solemnity. At its conclusion the procession returned is the same form to the house in Hyde-street, to the female part (.1 • the deceased's family, who were indulging in the most bitter grief at parting with a husband, father, and sincere friend, fur ever—until death. The 'multitude were so noxious on the occasion, that after the gentlemen forming the processioa had , quitted the vault, a rush was made, and in a moment it was 'neatly filled, in order to have a-view of the collie.
