From the N. York Commercial
Advertiser, of August 11.
We have received from our correspondent at Bermuda, a file of
the Bermuda Gazette, to the 28th of July. In the paper of the
24th we find the following of Commodore Perry: -
“The American schooner of
war Nonsuch, went into Carlisle Bay, Barbados on the 5th inst.
with dispatches to Admiral Campbell, from commodore Perry, who
was cruising to windward of that Island in quest of some pirates,
of whom it would seem information had been received.”
The same paper contains a letter
from Nassau, addressed to the editor, of which the following is
a copy: -
“One pirate has already
been executed, and two more will meet the same fate on the 19th
inst. The Grand Jury has brought in a bill against the invincible
Sir G. M’Gregor, who stands charged with aiding and abetting
piracy, by issuing commissions in the Bahamas to subjects of powers
in amity with Spain. But I suppose this will be chase after a
wild-goose.”
