marks upon the salary of the Lieut. Governor
of this state, which deserve attention. He
attempts to show the inconsistency of allow-

generally exceed 4 weeks, and recoiumends
that he be paid 6 tlollars a day, for the time

Lt. G. in his letter to Mr. Tiiiiilirisoii says: .
‘ I sailed from N. York in the uruntli ofOcto-
her, 18:11, for a cruizc in the West Indies, irri-
tler instructions from the Hon. Smith Thomp-
son, secretary ofthc Navy, an extract ofwlnclr
is iricloseil. The criiize was continued from
time to time. Severarl piratical vessels were
ilestruyetl upon the coast of Cuba, and much
valuable property rescued. On [lie-fltl Jlllltf.

orders ariil instructiorrs from Capt. Biddle,cdrrr-
rnzrriilirrg the squailrori upon the VVes_t India

ed. _I'iriade pr'epar'atiorr to receive her, and
laid by for the purpose. She approaclred me
under the Spziriislr flag. Civil 'iiitei‘i‘og:itiorrs
and answers were pa.-'.~ed,to satisfy each ofthe
other’s character. I was inforined that the
str‘iirrger bore the Ct)Illln":.~lt)ll ofthe King of
Spain, which I neither doubted, iror oii'ercd
him any uiolestaiion wlratevcr,tliorrgli his coir-
duct and appearance iriiglrt have warraiitcii

having asked the clraracter and destination of
the brig in corrpariy, and liaviug been cor-
rectly inforiired, they expressed a deteririiirzi-
tioir to overlratil her and satisfy tlieuisclves; I
refused them pernrission, atitl warned ilieiri of
the corisequerices ; tlrreats were used by them
and sail made after the convoy ; I interposed 5;
ran between them. After a general consulta-
tion, and fighting ainorrgst themselves, which
was distinctly observed from my decks, they
desisted, made off, and werejoinetl by an arm-
ed sclrooner, apparently their consort. A few
hotirs afterwards, I anchored in the harbour of
St. Tlioiiias, and received from Capt. South-'
er, an Ainerican citizen, nraster oftlre Ainer-
lcari schr. Coquette, ofGeor9,etown, (D. C.) ‘:1
report, the substance of which is contained in
the enclosed letter, and deposision llliltle by
him and his crew.’
[We have not roorii for the whole of this let-
ter‘. In it the deporieriis state that on the 9th
of August they ivcre fired into and brought to
by an lrerinaplrrodite brig with a red streak
:ind black ports-—tliat they were boarded by
an officer and five men, each liaving a long
knife, who overliauled the sclrr’s papers,open-
ed the liaiclies, searched the captain's, in:rte’s
and se-.iinen’s chests, trunks, bags and births;
and after appropriating to themselves many
articles, (which are enumerated) and abusing
the captain and mate, returned on boaril their
own vessel. The deponents furtlierj statetliat
after airiviiig in port they learned that the ves-
sel which committed this outrage upon them
was the Spanish brig Pancliita.] .

The brig sent her boat on board with an_ofi‘i-

ly overhauled the ship’s papers, the coinmand-
er asked me whatl would sell him two barrels
ofbeeffor. I told him the cost in Boston, and
tliai he might give ivhat advance he thought
proper : but he irrade no reply, and told me I

oliicer on board, when I rettir'ned, ordered two
barrelsof beef and one of rice into the boat,
when they bid tire good-bye, and went along-
side tlieir brig, hoisted the béel: and rice on
board, and hoisted up their boat, and hauled
their colors down. Presniriingtlrey had no
further demands on me, and glad to come off

Lieut. proceeds as follows :— _
‘ The Captain ofa Frencli brig also made a
coniplaiiitof liaviiig, been plundered by the
same vessel. I also received a letter from capt.
Larrgdon, of New-York, who had been cap-
tured by the schooner in,con_i'pany, and treat-
ed in the most brutal and infamous manner.
Under these circniiistances, I conceived it im-
periously my duty-—inad_e so by the laws of
the country and the orders of governiirent—to
seize upon the vessel because_she had been
gtiilly of acts of piracy, qf seiziire, rcslr-iiinl
and dcpredation. upon the commerce of the U.
States. I left St. Tlioinas on the 14th August
iirid on the 16th fell in with the same vessel,
their cruising to the southward of St. Croix.
I came tip with her and denianded her to sur-
render; was fired upon, returned the fire and
compelled her to -5lll'l'el)tlEI‘ after a short cori-
flict, wherein one of her crew was killed and
several wounded ; the vessel was taken pos-
session of. Many of the articles plundered
from the Coquette were _fo'uml on boartl; the
C(l.]}l(l‘l7l(lCrii1102UlCdg€(.lllP8 fact, and pointed
out to me the -mm who were on board qf the
Coquette, and who did plunder her. On ex-
anrining the coirrnrissioii the vessel did not
correspond tlierewitli, either in rig‘, armament
or size. I tlierefore sent her to Charleston,
the nearest port in the U. States, where she
arrived on the 192th of September. All the
papers and documents were given over to the
'Court, anti a trial /llllltledltllely instituted;
rneaiiwlrile the crew were coinriiitted to pri-
son. Before the trial took place Judge John-
son had an interview with the Spanish Consul
(as I was informed,) and assured him iftlrcy
were brought before liiin he would clear" theiri.
Accordingly a few days afterwards the offi-
cers were brought up on a writ of habeas cor-
pus,‘ and released upon their own recognis-
aiice, the -judge observing that he ‘ saw no
reason for the coufiiieinerrt ofthose innocent
rncn; excepting the strong arm of the navy ;’
and strange to state, the iriost infanious and
fnrioris of the gang, the second captain, was
called up and heard as an ‘criilciice iii favor
of liiniself and his associates, while neither
iriyselfor'officei‘s had any iiitirrratioii whatev-
er of these events at the uioiireirt. Firidirig
some of "the dociiin‘eiits éidtluced in evidence
were considered ll‘lft)l'lllLll by the Court, I
moved to lrzrve the trial stayed to afford time
to oiitrriri ‘them in legal form, or produce the
\\‘ii.uc.-scs thcirisclves. Judge l)r:iytor‘r refus-
ed to comply, ariil gave as a reasorr that Judge
Johrison was dcterrnincd to clear the crew,
and that the vessel must be tried innnediatcly,
and cleared if possible. in order to get the vil-
lains out oftlre country ; observing there could
be no doubts of their bi-iiiig really pirate-3;
rriaking tlicinselves snch'by the abuse oftheir
coirrnrission, and that it would be a dreadful
calurriity to turn such a set of cut-throats loose
upon that coniiiiunity; and advisedme to let
the affdlt’l.:1ke its own course witligi.it'any iii-
terfercricc-—I would be safe;i1iid fiirt.lieriirorc

ra, alias l’arit:lrit.r, bcloirging to Porto Rico ;
was one of the first vessels fitted out from that
Island wliicli lr.tvc been so troiiblesinne to oirr
cornrncr'ce ; and when c:rpirrr'e'd was hovering
about rue with tlreinteirtioii of taking some
valuable rriewliairtirieir their under ,:oiivoy.
On board of her were found several of the
Cape Antonio pirates, rccogirized by persons
wlroiri they had robbed, and wliose lives were
saved by the tirnely intcrpositiorr of one of
our public vessels. .
‘ A large portion of Ell-‘-‘. crew of this vessel
from inziiiy circurristances Ibelieve were of
the same cast. The detention of this vessel
had the happiest effect; others of the satire
cliaractei' returned into their ports, wliile those
who continued to cruise were taught to treat
our flag with the proper respect, and I know
of no iiistririce of their plundering our iiier—
clraritrrren since, although they were very
coninion previous. I acted in this case from
the liririest conviction that it was my duty ;
and ifI am to stiffer forobeying the orders of
governiireirt, other officers will not dare to act.
I consider the decree of the Court as a license
for these freebooters to go on with impunity.
Your early attention to this affair, and a litre
from you on the subject will be considered a
great favor, as I an} .tiow under sailing orders,
and leave the port soon. All the original doc-
urnents are in the Secretary of the Navy’s of-
fice, with a copy oftlie coriiinissiori where you
can see them. I think it would be but a mat-
ter of justice for the government to take the
burtlreii oftlrisi suit, and I wish to know wheth-
or this will be the case or not. The Hon. Se-
cretary was pleased to assure me that be ap-
proved of uiy conduct. I remain, 8Lc.
