4 Tlieenclosed report from Lieut.Corn’t Isaac
Illclieever, ofthe U. S. Steam (_~}alliot~ Sea’
Gull, which Ihavc the honour to transmit,
.'gives_an -a"cco_unt of the successful result ofan
expedition on which I had sent that vessel,

ftvith the barge Galliiiipper, on the 20th ult.
,'On the 21st ult. Lieut. McKeever fell in
with a party sent by Capt. Maude, of H. B. M.
frigate Dartmouth, for a similar purpose, and,
having made an arrangement to act in concert
they, thus united, proceeded to the accom-
plishment of their object, viz. the capture or
destruction ofa piratical schooner and boat,
which, I had been confidentially informed had
cotntnitted a piracy but a short tiiue before,

and was then equipping for another cruise.
Although the schooner, when captui’-ed, had
on board a paper, professing to be a license
for lieras a cruizer on the coast, yet,'from the
want of the Captain General of Cuba's sig-
riature, or that ofthe General of the Marine,
to this document, her complete state of pre-
paration for action, the training of her guns
on the boats as they approached, the abortive
attempts to fire on them, several times re-
peated, the actual commencement of-a fire of
tnusketry, and the quantity ofAmerican prop-
er'ty found on ‘board, and in their lurking pla-
ces on shore, with the erasure of all inarlis. by
which either its owners or the vessels in which
it had been embarked could be ascei‘iained,I
have not tli,é,_léa'st doubt of her piratical char-

,acter.-—-—-Tlie vessel, and a boat which _was

the next daycapiured, (all the crew of which

,_ escaped on shore.) were, on the 30th ult. lost

in a vioient squall on the beach. I have di-
rectetl the prisoners to be sent-to Havana,
there to be delivered up to his Excellency the,
Captain General, with all the papers which
were found, and a sufficient account of the
circtimstaiicesattending the capture.

Before closing this,I must be allowed "to
express the great satisfaction I feel at the de-
struction of these vessels,‘ and the capture of
so many persons, prepared to‘ prey upon the
commerce and sport with-the lives of our on-
protected fellow-countrymen, engaged iu.the
pursuitofa lawful and peaceable occupation.

To Lieui. McKeever and the officers’ and
crew of the Sea Gull, great credit is due, for
their constant and unremitted exertions, in
defiance of fatigtie and hunger. The ability
ofthe first named officer has been conspicu-
ously displayed on this occasion ; and we are
under no small obligations to Lieirt. VVard, the
ofiicers and men of H. B. M. ship Dartmouth.
for their efficient co—opei'ation,and their stren-
tious endeavors to effect our common object.

Nineteen prisoners have been brought in,
ofwhotn six'are wounded. Eight or ten were
killed, and the remainder escaped to. the
shore, wherethey effectually concealed them-
selves from pursuit. .

Iam, with very great respect, your obedi-
ent and very humble servant. « -

Sin: I have the honor to give you a de-
tailed account of the late cruise, on which I
sailed front Matanzas immediately after the
reception of your orders ofthe 19th ult. tak-
ing with me the barge Gallinipper.

At Stone Key I met his Britannic majesty’s
ship Dartmouth, under the command of the
. . » ‘Ta tide; and was informed by
i,-._:. " « 1- -.=:"ofhis hoatsweretlien cruizing
A -35‘, In company with H. B. M. schrs.

; 1° - ..iem, the uextevening, at Cadiz
Bay. .As they were also in search of Pirates,
butwithotil any particular or certain infortn-
ationoftheir haunts, of which I was possess-
ed, 1 deemed it proper to propose a co-opera-
tion ; it being perfectly understood thatl was
foliave the conducting of the enterprise.—
‘T1135 proposition ..n'as cheerfully acceded to,
and req.uest'ing' that‘ the schooners should not
leave (‘.T_ad_iZ Bay to go to windward for three
day-s,=I left the Sea Gull under charge oflieu--
tenant Rudd, and took with me, independent
ofthe. barge, which was well tiianiicd, two

 

.sinall—cot-ters, with five men in each, and, in

‘company with a British barge and" 2 cutters,

-- uirdeij-charge of Lieui. Ward, ofthe Dart-

niouilr, we made the west-erninost point ofthe
entrance of Sagua la Grande, where we were_
Adetaitred forty-eight hours in consequeiice ol
s‘tr'cii‘rg head winds. Tlicday after we arrived
there, our water being nearly expendedgthe
British barge, and Gallinipper, Lieut. Lun-
ningham, sailed in quest ofsoiue, although it
was blowing a heavy gale from the eastwarti,
and on the evening of the satire day the Gal-
linipper wps capsized rnya squall, but, with
the assistance of Lieui. VI and‘ and his crew,
our officers and nicn were saved, and the ves-
sel riglitcd. She rejoined me with the intel-

. Iigence of the. accident,- a few hours’ after it

happened, having lost part of her ai'ms‘, am-
inunition, and provisions. l\'otwithstanding

lupbntho very last extremity; accordiiigly,
the next morning, the 20th ult. the wind aba-
ting, we made another effort, and gained the
mouth of the riv_er Sagua l_a Grande about
uoon. . At this placel found a fisherman and
compelled him, much against IlIS'It1CIInatI0n,
to pilot I15 to the Key of'Jtitia Gorda, one of
the places of our destination‘, and at about-I
P. M. descried the masts of a vessel lying
nearly concealed by the ljluslies under sd. key;
\ve,iintn_ediately pushed for her,Aand when we
ap_pi'oached within hail, she hoisted _Spanish
colours, and’ ordered us to keep off, or-__she
would fire into us, having her guns trained,

several ineffectual attempts ,to'fire the” gun
pointed upon the advancing buat—the chari-
nel being very crooked and narrow, the boats
grounded several times: at length one ofthe
British Cutters succeeded in passing the bar,
and, as two boats abreast could not approach,
the officers and crews of the others were or-
dered'to__ jitmp overboard and wade to the
shore; ivhere, taking a coniiiiaiiding position,
on the bank of the inlet in which she was ari-
chored, and within twenty yards of her, I or-
dered her coinmander instantly to home on
shore, and not fire at his peril. After much
hesitation and reiterated threats, he obeyed,
(by this time every one on board was in great
conftision.) Instead ofcoming to me, lie,and
a man who accompanied him, attempted to
make their escape: the couiiiiander however,
was seized, but his companion fled to the
iiiaugrove bushes. I now directed him to or-
der his colors to be hauled down, and to sur-
render his vessel and crew. He did order his
colors to be struck-—but at the same inoiiieui,
a musket or pistol was fired at the cutter, then
close alongside, which was imznediaiely re-
turned, and ageiieral fire ensued ; the leader
ofilie band~,availing hiinselfoftlie confusion
attempted fiight,'I fired at and wounded him;
he fell, but rising very soon, and attempting
to fight his way through our men with a long
knife, he received several other wottuds, and
was retakcn. Many of the pirates, in endea-
voring to make their escape, by jttiirping o-
verboard to gain the Mangrove bushes, were
shot, whilst others, seeing no chance ofes-
cape, were driven below by th'e boarders and
muskeiry from slim-e.

On taking possession of her, she proved to
be a schooner iuottuting two six pounders on
pivots, four large swivels, and several blun-
derbusses, and-completely equipped for a coin-
plemeut of 35 men, which wasthe least num-
ber she could have had on board ; _as we took
19 prisoners, and can account for 8 killed;
several effected their escape into" the irrati-
grove bushes, and we are induced to believe
that others were killed, whose bodies are sup.
posed to have floured out to sea, unobserved,
as there was a strong ebb tide. Among the
prisouers, are six wounded, one of whom is
their chief, and calls himselfAuionio Ripol.-—
We were fortunate in having but one iiiau
wounded, a British marine, who received a
slight cut in the arm. '
After securing the prisoner's, we searched
the schooner, and ,discovered that, with the
evident intention ofblowing us up, they had
placed lighted cigars in and near the inaga-
zine, which were soon carefully removed.—
We also found many articles on boartl, nfA_
iuerican produce, and, mail appearance, but
recently taken, as the cases were quite new
and clean : New York hats, shoes, flour, rice’,
cheese, butter, lard, &._c. &.c. and, to confirm
their character. if there had been the least
shadow of doubt remaining, we fouird the,
counterpart ofthese articles concealed in a
thicket, about twenty yards from the vessel,
ivhicli was approached by a meandering path,
and could only be discoveredhy carefulisearcli
so cautious were they in their operations.
The following morning,at daylight, Lieui.
Ward and myself took with its three boats,
andproceeded to windward, leaving Lt.Cui -
ninghain in charge of the prize, prisoners,
bug. VVe soon after discovered a large schr.-
rigged “ Riegla B tat ;” gave chase, and at It
A. M. the crew’fiudi'ng we were gaining fast,
upon them, made for the nearest Mangrove
Island, jumped overboard, and effected a pre-
cipitate retteat to the bushes, leaving every-
thing standing,with a keg ofguupowder,open,
nearthe galleyfiie, and quanti_ties of it strew-
ed over the vessel. _-The powder‘ was instant
ly thrown overboard, and the fire extinguish-
e_d.i She proved to be the boat whose crew

~ muidered the 5 men belonging to the Amer

icau brig Betsey, that was wrecked on the
Double Headed Shot Key, in December last.
After a lung and ineffectual search among the

mangrove bushes, for the fugitives, we took

the boat in charge, and pushed on to the Key
la Cosiiuera, whence they sailed from in the
morning, being their place of resort and es-
tablishment. This we burnt, and returned to
Jui.ia Gorda, at midnight ; the oflicers 8t. men
being nearly exhausted: tlielatter__havitig been
at their oars from day break.
The schooner and boats being laden with
the'property found secreted in the woods and
elsewhere, we setfire to the buildings on the
Key, consisting of two very large huts and
sortie out houses.~. At this place was an old
man, of tirore genteel appeiirauce than the
rest, whose situation was so suspicious, that I
thoirglitproper to bring him with me. I have
since discovered that he is the coururandaut
of Sagua la Grande, and in some way inti-
mately connected with these pirates : his pa-
pers I transiirit to you, separate from those
found on board the vessel.

Having distributed the prisoners on board
the differeiit boats, we got underway,iogeilier
with the prizes, ISL sailed for Sagua la Grande
where, according to previous arrangement,
we met his. Majesty's schooner Lion, Lieui.
Liardet, commanding, who politely, offered to
receive the prisoners on board his vessel, to
‘relieve us of the inconvenience of having
them in deeply I'aden.boats,‘ai)d they were
accordingly removed. 4 Vtle now continried
our route to Cadiz Bay,rejoined his Majesty’s
sch;-, Union, and this vessel reached KeyMo
na in company, on the evening of the 929th
tilt. where we found the Dartiiiotrtli still at
_.anchor. Captain Maude, when informed of
the capture iu_ which his boats had assisted,
expressed a strong desire to communicate
with you-previous‘ to the prisoners being dis-
‘posed of for trial. I, in consequence, repair-
ed to Matanzas, to iuforin you of his .wish.;-—
but finding ihatyou had sailed for this place,
I iiist-antly ret'uriied to the Daitirrotitlr, and
made application forthe prisoners,upon which
"they were removed to this vessel. '

Sin: I have the honotir to report, for the
information of the Department‘, that having
learned that several vessels had been robbed
by Pirates near Foxardo, and that two sloops
ofthis place, aud_.one ofSaiita Cruz,liad been
taken by them, ahd two ofihem were eq'uip-
ped aiid cruizingi as Pirates, I obtained two
small sloops at this place, free ofexpense, by
the very cordial 4:o~operation of his‘ Excel-
leucy,’Governor Von Scholten, of St. Tlioin
as, who promptly. ordered the necessary doc-
unieuts to be issu rd, and imposed a tempora-
ry embargo, to prevent the transmission of
intelligence to the Pirates,» which slooys I
iiiaiined and armed under the coinniaiid of
Lietiteiiants Pertilergrast -and Wilson, for the
purpose bf exaniining all the small harbours
of Crab Island, and the South Coast ofPorto
Rico. We sailed on the first of March, and
examined every place as far to the westward
as Ponce, without success, alth‘ough we got
frequent information oftliem. -VVe anchored
at Ponce, on the evening ofthe 3d, and took
our men 8:. officers on board ; the next morn-
ing, at 10 o’clock, a sloop was seen off the
harbor, bear ing to the eastward, which was
very confidently supposed, to be one of tliose
fitted out by thepirates. I again got one of
the sloops, and manned her under the corri-
inand of Lietii. Peudergrast, accompanied by

ond.MitIsliipiii-an Stone, with 23 men, who
sailed II) _ pursuit the next day, at 3 o’cI0cl-I.-—
They had the good forttine to fall in with her
in the harbor of " Buca del -Infieruo,’_’ which
is very large, aud- has inauy'liitling. places,
where an action commenced, which lasted 45
niirrutes, when the pirates "ran their sloop on
shore, and jumped overbo.-trd: two oftliein
were found killed, and ten of those which es-
Cflllell U) the shore were taken by the Spanish
soldiers, five or six of whom were wounded,
and amongst them, the famous piratical CIIIPI
C-olreciiias, who has long been the "terror of
the coast, and the rallying point ofthe pirates
iuihis vicinity. As ucaras we can ascertain.
he had 15 _or 16 men on board,anrl was armed
with c_ne four pounder, and muskets, pistols.
cuilasscs, and knives, for his men. The sloop
was got off, and arrived safe, with our tender,
at this place, last eveniug;.and I am happy to
add, that none ofour people received any in-
jury, and all have returned in good health,
notwithstandiiig their exposure to the sun and
rain, for ll days, without‘-tlie possibility oi
gettin;-_r, below. I have much pleasure in sta-

from the authorities of Ponce, whilst there,
and that they showed every desire to promote

VALUABLE MEDICINE FOP. COUGHS
AND CONSUMPTIONS. ,
THE high reputation that A.Noi:nso.V‘s'
Coocn Dnoes and P.r;c'roiiAL Pow-'"
DEBS have gained for Coughs and other af-'_
fections of the breast and lungs leading to
Icousuinption,- renders it unnecessary to say
tnuch in recommending them to the public,’
as no stronger proof of their possessing on-
common virtues could be given than will he
found by reading the certificates acc‘oinp._iuy-'
mg each bottle, given by those ofthe first re-,
spectability, who have used them in cases of
long standing; and some of them,’ where
their physicians had given them up as past_
recovery, have been entirely restored by the
rise ofthis medicine. The factthat they have
now been in use six years, and that the de-
mand the present seagron has been much
greater than at any for‘mer,period is also a
strong argument in their favour. "I‘lious-
ands have shortened their driys by neglecting‘-
Coughs when first attacked, which have sooir
‘terminated in a seated Consumption. and pro-"
ved fatal. Scarcely acase of Colds, Coughs,
Pain in the side, difficulty of breathing, want‘
of sleep arising from debility, or even Cou-
suinptioiis birt may be relieved bya tiuielyt
use of this Healing Balsam. Each [).o,lla_r"
bottle of this medicine contains abottt.,40;_di_),s.-"'
es, which proves them to tie a clreap iii‘ dicino’
considering their virtues.__ ' 1 3 ’_’j_
