We hasten to correct the statement made in our paper of last week, relative to the apprehension of Col. B,we, son-in-law of Gov. Desha, at Ripley Ohio. The Editor of the Castiator. from whom we derived our information, says in his lat number, that the atlair, between Col. Boswell and .Mr. Clark was one of daily occurrence in Kentm k , and was conducted without anv violation of the customs of that state: which we believe, admit of biting and gotigi:u' that Col. Boswi 11 was not arrested, but departed for Maysville, of his own free will, as soon as it was rumored that the life of hi antagonist w as in danger, w here he met a fair investigation, and was honorably acquitted. We are lelt altogether in the dark, as respects the fate ol Mr. Clark, but as tlie contest was maintained iccar liag to the etiquette of Kentueky, it is not U'-reasoriahle to suppose he may have ot at h-a-t one ear and a pair ol Cs Chillicothr Times,

From the Alexandria Gazette. We are informed by a highly respectable gentleman, who left St. Thomas on the lGtli Jul v, that a few days before he sail

ed, a piratical schooner and crew had; been captured in the vicinity and carried into that place. Some days before the capture, a suspicious looking sail-boat, carrying seven armed men, appeared . oflTj (he harbor, and by the order of the gov-j ernor was taken and ex .mined. The men j represented themselves as belonging to a! Colombian privateer cruising in the neigh- j boring waters but so firmly was the gov-! ernor convinced of their piratical charae-1 ter, that he immediately despatched an ex- j press boat to the governor of St. Croix, re- ' commending a vessel to be fitted out, and; soarcl to be made. Accordingly a fast sailing Danish schooner was sent in pursuit, and fell in with the pirate between! Crab and Passage Islands. A severe con-!

llict endued, in which the captain, lieutenant and boatswain of the pirate were killed, and the remainder of the crew ta;en and secured in the fort St. Thomas. An old Colombian commission was found on board, but evidently not belonging to her neither the size nor character of the vessel corresponding to the description in the commission. Our informant saw the crew landed in port, and entertains no doubt of their being pirates; for upon interrogating them it was found that -they had captured several small Danbh vessels, and had
