On his going on board, the captain took him to the cabin and holding a loaded pistol to his breast, declared, if he did not tell him what money there was in the brig he would shoot him instantly! l ie replied that he knew of but four doubloons and five or six dollars, and that if he would spare his life he would show him where it was. lie was then sent on deck and ordered to keep aft, the captain giving orders to hi; crew to shoot him if lie did not remain there. He had been bitting aft about half an hour, when he heard several muskets fired on board the bri-.r, being then so near as to speak from one to the other. The sloop wa now steering for the land and the brig following her. I.i the morning the pirate ere v caded to the sloop to end 2 men on bsard to work the vessel; they were seat. The men who carried them on hoard, on their return reported that the prize crew had shot the captain and one of the men shipped at Mmtanz is, who was sack. When the f.l vop reached the shore the gun;, ammunition, ecc. were I mded on the beich, and the brig anchored near to her. As soon as her armament was landed, all the pirates went on board the brig, r.nd commenced the destruction of the ve-.se!, by cutting away the y id, topmast ;, &c. and clearin the decks hv throwing

which was left unon the beach unhoused, together with seven tierces of coffee. The hull of the brig was left sound, with three quarters of the cargo still on board in good order. While on board the brig the cabin boy told the deponent that the pirates had murdered the captain and all the crew that were left on board and threw them into the sea, and that he had saved his life by lading himself away.

The last accounts from Madrid state, that the marquis, his wife, " his little ones and all," in the dead of night, had been seized, conveyed to piison, and, we shudder to add, some say murdered. This has happened in a country professing the Christinn Rc!i?ion a country that dooms heretics to fire and the -stake.- Can a parallel for such barbarism be found in the annals of Constantinople or Algiers?
