LATEST FROM BERMUDA Norfolk, April 6. We learn from capt. Bnggs, or me scnooner uetsey, arnvea here last night, in 9 days from Bermuda, that the numerous dcrytfd Iv. crui ish and American vessels, had induced the governor to send out two 18 gun brigs, to cruize for the protection of the shipping bound in and out, with instructions to capture every vessel or tins description that they fell in with. The brigs came out in company with the Betsey. Several American vessels were boarded and robbed by these picaroons, a short time before the Betsey sailed, and one of the crew had actually heen flnrrnr-,4 m Hnth fnr r Ot5'v '-' monstratinrr with some seventy against their enormities.
