V PIRACY. • s • '• , MEi The following i 4 an extract of a letter dated Ha - Vattnatb, Sept. 25 We have been most shamefully used by the pirates along the coast here. We were broui.;lit-to u. the day previous to our arrival, the 2011., h . an armed schooner. who rubbed us of every article of cloth ing and every thing else of value. 1 hewn nut even a shirt. On the 11th, while heating through the Gulf, we spoke the brig Hannah, of Philadelphia : the super car4o came on board, and gave us a melancholy statement of the manner in which they had been taken and plundered. He said, that about a fortnight preying* they were taken and car ried into one of the keys inside of the Colorados, where they were kept nine dap., and • cargo of turtle shell and coffee taken from them to the amount of IS,OOO dollars. They tied lint, the captain, and two passengers, to the rigging, mud matte II fire round them fur the purpose of suffocating them. After hearing such a lamentable story, what must hate bean our es peetaliuns on the eve of being in their bands. We supplied hem with provisions, as they had been sent to sea, with 24 prisoners that had been formerly taken, without arty provisions. We parted company that day, and determined keeping on the Florida shore, but it was nut bug before the wind shifted, and enabled Os to lie nearer to this port. About its o'clock on the morning we were plundered we observed a ship ahead of as, and a bark mot far from us. About eight o'clock we observed a almoner making sail from the laud to windward of us, Point Marie! bearing about 20 miles east from us. She made sail after the ship, and shout two o'clock brought her to, after firing t tree guns. They altered the course of the ship, and sent her in the direction they exuie from : the pirate then made for us, . . . and the first salutation we received was a birge shot over our heads, and presently after—from what otiose I do not know, tfdass it was fir ear not being expeditions enough in bringing to —we received a 'Mower of ballets, by which one of the men lost part of his ear. We were presently after boarded by an Euglodi gig, with a dozen or fourteen loon, who withont core ruouy began to use their cutlasses with which they were pro •ided. Seeing then. so ferocious, and being pressed by one or two, I went overboard, and was lucky enough to swim to the pirate. Captain Jones, seeing me leave the vessel, got into into their boas with one of our men, and got on board about the same time as I did. We were kept prisoners in the bold of the pirate, along with the captain of the French ship previously captured, until the rascals on board the brig bad robbed the cabin of every thing they could food of value. We were at last allowed to proceed. but on getting to the brig again, as if they hail not been well satisfied, the people trdongiug to the pirate commenced a second time, and Captain Jones received a second healing, mid a slight wound on the hack of his head.— I raved my heatiug in a great measure by going overboard. As they got no money eacept what the mete and men had, they said they were sure the passengers must have money ,• and perhaps bad 1 been on board they would have insisted by using thri , weapons. The poor steward onfortonately underwent a dread.- tut beating in my stead ; at list they left us, and went in pur suit of their former prize, which vessel was loaded with wines and goods fur this place, from Bourdeanx. I have since seen the captain, who has escaped with whole bones. They had tied him for the purpose of eodiug bin existence, and most have done su had it not been fur the entreaties of two Spaniards, passengers with him ; they have lightened his ship considera bly. hlardly a Vessel eacapes, either cominwthe way we did, or through tbe old Bahama channel. e have seen several fellow-suferets here, and—you will hardly believe it—at the time.of our capture and release, we observed two vessels hull down astern of us. These two vessels arrived here at the same time as we did, who proved to be two Spanish men of war, one aimed with twenty guns and 11U men, the other six guns and 4.5 men. The Captains of both have been on board, and say that they saw us takeu and released. You may guess Phut they ought to have done." The following is an extract of a letter from Rt. Fulthrd, master of the brig Hope, of Liverpool, to his owners, Messrs. Eyes, Miller, Wylie, and Co Si. Andrew's. New Brunswick, Oct. 6,1622. I am sorry to inform you that in the Cult of Florida 1 fell in with a piratical brig of war, who took from me 1,050 dollars, • hich I was taking to pay port charges, &c. Money was their principal object ; they knew my basiness better than I did ; they told me that I had been to the Havanna', with mules, and that the price of them or the freight of them they most have, either in cash or bills. As I bad no cargo on board I told them that I had left the freight with my consignee ; but this did out satisfy them. I expected that they would have murdered me. They held a council of war •hether to murder the whole crew or not, as some of my crew knew the pirates : the., were under Buenos Ayres colours, but it was neitherr Buenos Ayres vessel nor crew, but real Spaniards." kTIONA L REGISTER TI MR. HUNT'S ENTRY. On Monday forenoon Mr. Hunt made his public entry into the metropolis. for which the . public had been prepared by notice* and placards of various uescnptions- The morning being favour— able, and the day on which the working classes of the metropolis generally devote to aniusetneft, the spectacle could nut hal to be numerously attended. At twenty minutes past ten the Committee arrived at Ilya, Park Corner with as open carriage drawn by six horses, the postillions dressed in light blue jackets. They proceeded under the command of Mt. Whittaker, till they came opposite to the Cannon Brewery, where they waited the arrival of Mr. Hunt. At eleven tie appeared in a post chaise, which he quitted for the open carriage. lie was then formally congratulated by a Mr. Gliast in the name of the Committee, and he made a brief reply, is which lie asserted that lie had never varied in his principles, nor deceived any who reposed confidence in him. and that his attachment to the cause of Reform was not to be shaken.

He was dressed in a blue coat, and light waistcoat, over which lie wore a large tartan cloak, which was embroidered with silver oak leaves. At half past eleven the cavalcade moved on, and arrived at Hyde l'ark Corner a quarter belore twelve. The procession was headed by Mr. Ghast, on horseback, who shouted vigorously along the whole line, without being much seconded any where by the responses of the crowd. Occasionally a fair hand was seen waving a handkerchief from a window ; but dts♦unstnuions of this kind might be said to form an exception to the general indifference. The people, however, seemed every where in the very best humour. The only trade which turned out on the occasion was the Saw yers, and they were not numerous. We did not recognise any one in Me scanty Pruarssion whose name is at all known to the Public. The Procession moved along the principal streets, to the Eagle Tavern, in the City Road. Tic, MANSION-HOUSE. On Thursday last Mr. Wenlliani was brought up for a filial examination, upon the charge of forging East India Warrants for the delivery of goods. The depositions of the several gentlemen who were produced as evidence against the prisoner were read and signed, and the witnesses were humid over to appear at the Old Bailey next sessions, the prisoner having pie vionsly mentioned that lie would not make his defence in this steer. sal the investigation. The commitment was then made out, and Mr.lll'Cullorn was sent in the custody of the Marshal to Newgate. A remarkable circumstence took place in the course of the examination of a prisoner named Atkinson, who was charged with having committed a shameful robbery upon a country lad, by whom he had been assisted with motley in his distress. Au e 11l i l tent solicitor, who bad trausacted 1.11,d1U611 several years ago fur the celebrated Robert Allen, the brewer, the greatest " whip" of his day, recog 'used the prosecutor as the illegitimate sou of his dashing client, and at once took the yonng fellow ruder his pie. 'colon. The poor lad, at the moment to met with his friend, had not a farthing in his 'pocket. The solicitor to whom we hese alluded had, on a for mer occasion, recovered the sum of 2,0001. for the prose cowl's mother, to whom Mr. Allen was much attached, which sum had been left to her, scrawled upon a piece of paper, by that gentleman, on his death-bed. The prisoner Atkins on , who was chaeged with having stole.' a watch from the prosecutor, as well as • bundle of clothes,whicli bad been directed in his presence to au ins in the City, was fully committed for trial. BO W -STREET. On Friday, Peter Osborne, a young man, said to he very respectably connected, was brought up for a second examination, charged with steeling a bay mare, the pro. perry of James Hillier. The prisoner was brought up on Tuesday, but was remanded until Friday, in consequence of a material witness being then absent. It appeared in evidence, that in March last the pri. soner aria in Mr. Hillier, Duke-street, St. James's, cud hired a horse for a month. He returned the horse at the expiration of the time, and paid el. Out of 101., the price agreed upon for the hire. He called occasionally at the stables, and on the 'Oh of August he went there, and said he was going on a visit to Colne Park, Wilts ' for a month, and wanted a horse for that period. Mr. Hillier let hint have a bay mare, worth about 35 guineas. The prisoner, however, instead of going to Colne Park, went to Wurthing, where he placed the mare at livery, and took up his own •I.ode at a fashionable boarding-house.— While there, Mr. Shackell, a coach proprietor, and a com missioned dealer in horses in Oxford-street, advanced 201. to the prisoner, who gave a draft for the amount on Sir F. Oirimaney. He returned to London. and went to Sir F. Onantaney'a house, where lie was informed by the clerks that tire prisoner had no effects there. Mr. Shackell, on hearing this, • •Iliately drove on to Worthing, mud Sr. rived at the boarding house, where the prisoner and the inmates were at supper. At his appearance the prisoner seemed terribly confused, and atter enduring for some few minutes the mortification of a public exposure, he re quested leave to endeavour to make some arrangement with Mr. Shackell. A parley took place, and the prisoner confessed that he was without money, bait said, " you may take my mare." To this Mr. Shackell, after some demur, agreed, end the next day, having paid 101. to the stable keeper fur the keep of the mare, and a receipt from the prisoner, lie brought her to town, and cubic- quently sold her to a gentleman at Uxbridge. The pri soner was never seen by Mr. Hillier until Sunday, the 10th instant, when he met him iu the Strand, and gave tiro in charge to an officer. The prisoner was again remanded to a future day.

Those parts of the *minty of Kildare, in the neighbourhood of Rathangati, Yildare, and Koberstown, have for the last two months been much alarmed, in consequence of large armed parties on foot and on horseback, patroling the country at eight, and forcing their oaths of association on every person they can possibly influence ,to take them. Several have been severely flogged with thorn bushes for refusing, or uttering a word against the ribbon system. One man, near Dunniutry, was within these few days wounded through the neck with a mus ket ball, but is likely to recover. A considerable armed party was met a few nights since, near Ratlibride, by a patrole of dismounted dragoons, attended by a Ma,;istrate. The party fired on two constables who ware in advance, and on the constables returning the Ere, dispersed into an adjoining bog. The night being dark, the troops could net pursue. . _ . .

ANECDOTE illol4 A FRENCH WORIL.—" While on service in Piedmont, I was detached with • party of dragoons into the woods that skirt the vale of heals, to prevent the smuggling that went on there. Upon arriving at night in that wild and de solate tract. I perceived among the trees the ruins of an old chateau, which I entered. To my great surprise, it was inha bited. I found within it a nobleman of the country. He was • person of an inauspicious appearance, about six feet high, and 40 years of age. He gray supplied me with • couple of rooms. My billeting officer and I amused ourselves there with music. After a few days we discovered that this man had • female in his custody, whom we laughing called Camilla. We were far from suspecting the horrid truth. In about six weeks she died. I fell an impulse of melancholy curiosity to see her in her coffin. I gave • gratuity to the monk who had charge of her remains, and towards midnight, under the prefect of sprinkling holy water, lie introdused me into the dispel where she lay. I found there one of those magnificent figures which continue even beautiful even in the boson, of death. She had • large acquiline nose, whose contour, so expressive at once of elevation and tenderness, I never can forget : I quitted the mournful spot. Five years after, being with • detachment of my regiment that escorted the Emperor when he went to be crowned King of Italy, I contrived to learn the whole story.— I was told that the jealous husband. Count , had found attached to his wife's bed an linglish watch, the property of a young man in the little town which they resided. On that very day be carried her off to the ruined chateau, in the midst of the woods of Sesia. He uttered not • syllable, but in answer to all her entreaties he coldly and silently showed her the English watch, which be always kept about his persoo. He thus passed nearly three years with her. At length she died of • broken heart, in the lower of her age. The husband made an attempt to stab the owner of the watch—miaaed him—fled to Genoa—threw himself on board a vessel, and baa never since been heard of." Soacitcat.
