Baring an A Atrocious Piracy
77ie Packet Ship "Susquehanna" captur
Kcd by Freebooters qff' the Delaware.
v c uo uoi ueiievc mat any event since
the late war, lias excited so much alarm and
indignation in our city, as the capturo of the
noiiesi 01 our ijivorpool pacKcts, Uic Sus
quehanna, by pirates, at tho very month dl
tii" uelaware and witlim sight ot land.
ThVpainful, and wo may add, the incrcdi
ble intelligence of this most daring deed,
reae.ncu mo city on nionuay about noon.

Bireet, Willi tno rapidity 01 lightning; anu a
large concourse of our citizens assembled .is

Capes, on Saturday last; and while yct in
sight of land, the weather being fine and the
Wind N. W. Was observed to be pursued
by a schr. elipperbuilt, and full of men.
They boarded life .Susquehanna, when on
Five Fathom Batik, aiid in a very short
cpace oflime she was seen to steer away in
a southerly direction, In full possession of
the freebooters, and With their schooner in
company. The parties who brought the
8ad and fearful intelligence, do not appear
to have ascertained whether the Susquehan
na made any resistance.
Expresses were sent from Wilmington
and New Uasllc, direct to PMorloIlc, requcs
ting that an armed vessel might be instantly
despatched in pursuit ol the buccaneer: but
the danger is, that thc Wretches will have
made their escape, before the arm of jiisllco
and an outraged community has overtaken
them. The deepest anxiety is felt for the
fate of the passengers and crew ol the bus
quehanna.
The following is the official announce
ment of the piracy.

Sunday Evening, 8 o'clock; 5
Mr. J. Coffee, Wb have just iceeived
information by the pilot boat Mary, per Mr
James M." West and Mr. Edward Maul,
two good Pilots, that the packet ship Sus
quehanna, which went to sea at two o'clock
yesterday, was captured by a piratical
Rphnnnfir. off the live' Fat hfitii Hank.
The wind being at the ridrtfi, slid bore off
to the southward, and at dark was olt inui

tha t me of capture. 1 he wind has been
from the southward to-day, and I have
emnloved ah express to go to Mdtord and
nnd New Castle, tb send thq news' to Nor
folk, so as to enable art armed vdssol to cut
her off.
It ought to be sent to New York at
once, as with the shift of the wind the pi-
l-ntns mav shift their course.
The wind is light, at S. W., or I would

hut "community have been on the tin-toe
of expectation this few days past. Yester
day afternoon, at 4 o'clock, the minds and
expectations ot the citizens wore greatly
excited by the report that an examination
ol two persons, reported to be concerned,
was to take placo at the Mayor s nilicc.
TltcTdom Was accordingly crowded with
anxious citizens at an early hour, and irom
what tolloWeti; it appeared the report was
not without foundation.
The District Attorney, John M. Read
Esq. opened the matter by stating that in
formation was received ol a suthciently
strdng and positive Kind, to warrant the
most of two individuals then in the office,
viz: Capt Blankmau and son, who had ac-
cordingly been arrested. He proceeded
to statu that sullicicnt evidence had been
elicited d1cilb.w that Capt. Blaiikinan had
fittdd out, or been connected With the httmg
out, of the port of Philadelphia, about three
weeks since, a vessel ol suspicious charac
ter, named Mitshcl, a sailor and but late
ly an inmate of the Eastern Penitentiary
who was supposeu to uc in tno vessel can
ed Commodore Perrv, while Blankman tc-
maincd .here behind. He remarked that
with reference to the Susquehannah, her
her owners were men whose scublcs did
not allow them to keep arms on board their
ship, and that, upon the whole, the circum
stances were sufficiently strong to warrant
the arrest of these individuals. Capt.
Blankman is a man of strong muscular
build and Herculean frame, and had for his
eonds'ol 1); P. lif'flwn and several other of
our mdst distinguished Iawydr3.
After the District Attorney sat dowili
Mr. Brown arose, and stated that it was
not his intention to make a speech; that his
time had not yet come; but he demanded,
he said, "upon what charge was Mr. Blank
man and son there: and upon whose? with
what crime were they indicated? He said
that, under the influenceof the present state
of excited feeling in the community, he
would say nothing of the fact that Mr.
Blankman was there without having been
arresieu upon a warrant a privilege
guarantied by the constitution to the mean
est citizen hd did not question the motives
of the Mayor, ndr stop now to notice the
fact of the matter, but he wanted him to tell
him, and to tell him explicitly, upon what
ground was a citizen ariested, and what
was the speeihc charges against mm.
The Mayor in reply, said that he had
knowledge of the sailing of this ship, and
that Captain Blankman was concerned
therein previous to its sailing; and as it was
certainly a suspicious affair, when taken in
connection whith the recent capture ol the
Susqullartnah, he, more as a citizen than an
officer, ordered the arrest of the captain un
der these circumstances.
The first witness examined, was Mr.
Augustus Davis, who stated in effect tiiat
Blankman, Mitchel, & a man named Huff
niastcr were speaking to him frequently
about proruring a ship for the purpose of
proceeding to Galveston hay, but he Knew
nothing about the sailing of the Perry.
The conversation betwceii him and the
persons referred to took place in July last.
In regard to a question put to Mr. Head,
whether any proposition had been made to
him abodl going, Mr. iJrown arose add ob
jected to the course pursued by the Com
monwealth. According to the testimony ol

in this citv a few weeks since,
and was very bad off, Mr. Iluffmastcr was
induced to lend him some money to sup
port himself decently, which he did un
derstanding that Mitchel was possessed of
property in the West Indies.
Another witness was called, whose testi
mony did not vary the above any.
Mrs. Roberts sworn. She stated that
Mitchell came to her husband and said that
ho had about one millon of dollars buried
near Key West; acquired during last war.
Her litispand was invited to oin in titling
out a vessel to go after it. Each man was
to pay down two hundred dollars as an out
fit. Mitchell stated that five or six others
had agreed to go. Her husband put down
one hundred and tweqty-live dollars. A
day or two after, Mllchell came to his
house-and wanted more; said that the one
hundred and twenty-fivo dollars had
been stolen from him' after some dispute
her husband gave one hundred more; and
then she subsequently, on the night of sai
ling, gave thirty-five more on Captain
Blankman s promising to let his son return"
it, 1 hp son however .returned and said
that ho had purchased large quantities of
diamonds, for a vessel which he expected
to owir, to the amount oi about one thou
sand dollars. Capt Blankman and some o'f
his sons sailed in this schooner, called the
Com. Perry. After sometime the schoo
ner repaired to I;ewistown to refit, a"nd
Airs. B. went down there. After this, she
knew no more of them, excepting letters
received from her husband. Here the lear
ned counsel hoped the letters would bo pro

pofcrrcdto, the Com. Perry liad touched" at !
Norlolk, whore, upon somo undefined
charge made by Blankman andMitchcll,
the whole crew had been sworn into pri
son, Here the matter closed for yestorday; to
day, at four o'clock, the examination of
witness and testimony will bo resumed.
In the meantime, whatever tho general
impression may ho, (for' there is an opin
ion among tliq-citizens upon tno suujcci,;
every one, will sec tho propriety and justice
of not exptcssing their sentiments, or of
forestalling or prejudicing the public mind,
pro or con. Justice, and its administrators,
will do all that is required,' will protect the
innocent and reward the guilty; if innocent,
it is not for tins or any other community to
entertain unjust suspicion towards an inno
cent man; if guilty, it is not for the citi
zens to administer law.
With respect to the course (tho illegal
course as termed in effect by Mr. Brown)
of his honor the Mayor, we believe, illegal
as it may be, he will, under the circum
stances, be sustained in it. Those circum
stances are peculiar; they ate of a kind, as
was well remarked by the district attorney,
such as has notcaitsed such an excitement
in this community for twenty years. They
exist under peculiar aggravation, rendered
doubly painful by the uncertainly which
attends the fate of many of our most respec
table citizens, including females. Wc
conceive this (Whether it should eventual
ly prove a mistake or not) to bo one of those
extraordinary emergencies which some
times occur in tho aflairs "of iijen, calling
for immediate and decisive action; and un
der these circumstances, the Mayor may he
assured that he has but responded to the
voic'c.of the citizens in doing as he has,
and that ihey will appreciate Ins motives.
INTERESTliN G STATISTICS.
A statistical account ha3 recently been
published by the Scientific Association at
Ijivernool, which contains many interest
ing statements. It appoars from this docu
ment, that ih 1821, the proportion of Brit
ish to American vessels entering the ports of
ine unneu oiuics, was v.ai per ceni.j in
1820, -13.02 per cent.; the mean for the
sixteen years 10.07 per cent. Returns arc
also given of thu proportion of the whole
trade of each country, to that with bach oth
er from 1821 to 18.15. In the founer year,
the proportion of the trade with England lo

was 35.95 per cent.; m 1835, -11:70 per
cent.; whilst the proportion of the trade
with America to the whole foreign trade,
was to. uo in itszi, and 22 31 per cent;; m
1835 The proportion of the traJe with
the United btates to the whole expdrt

1800, 30.21 per cent.; in 1807, 31.80 per
cent.; and m 1830, 22.28 per cent. The
shipments of British produce in 1830 a
mounted, according to the declared value, to
53.308,571, of which America took 12.-
425,005, or 23.28 per tent

'It is estimated," says the Essex Re
gister, "that thcpeoplc of the United States
require lor uioii; sustenance io,uu",-"
barrels of flour annually. On the ratio used
bv the United Slates Army, it would be
21,000,000, but tins i9 too large for the
whole population, and probably. 18,000,
000 is a near approximation to the actual
consumption. As there -was planted m the
United States about eight millions of acres
of land in wheat, intelligent men estimate
the crop for 1837, at 25 bushels to the. acre,
which at 80 cents the bushel will b's worth
100,000,000. Estimating 5 bushels wheat
to a barrel of flour, this will give 40,000,
000 of barrels, or a surplus for export or lo
rema n m barns o 22.00 .000 barre s. At
the least calculation there is uo doubt wheat
enough raised the present season to sup
ply the country two years, and if it is not
monopolized by speculators, or the gram
kept back by the growers, the price of iloui
ought the ensuing winter not to exceed $5
per barrel, the price of 1823. In the spring
of that year, good superfine flour was sold
in Philadelphia
for 83.25 per barrel
None are inbrc liable to make 'ureal mis

and jrolitical economy: Nor have wc, in
our humble judgment, noticed any calcula

tion, for future supply or exportation, or
TEN jUilions bf barrels, instead of twenty

As the scarcity and high price of wheat,
has induced econo-iomisis, and taught the
poor, through necessity, to substitute large

which I have ventured, may still be too

Wheat may fall in tho ensuing spring
considerably, admitting there should be. a
surplus and no extraordinary foreign de
mand, which tho great crops throughout
Europe, particularly in England, Franco
and Germany imh'.-alo: But' this will de
pend entirely on tlib appearance of the

season open favorably, and our fields pres
ent au encouraging appearance of a bounti

it will sink below one dollar per bushel.

The following beautiful eulogy on "the
law" is extracted .from an article in tho
Southern Literary Messenger:
"The spirit of tho law is all equity and
justice. In a government based on true
principles, the law is tho sole sovereign of a
nation. It watches over its subjects in
their business, in their recreation, and their
sleep. It guards their fortunes, iheir lives,
and their honors. In tho brrthd noonday,
and the dark midnight it ministers to thci'r
security; It accompanys them to lhe altar
and thuir festal board, 'it watches over the
ship of the merchant, though a thousand
leagues intervenes; over tho seed of the
husbandman abandoned for a season to the
earth; over the studies tf the student, the
labors or the mechanic, the opinions of ev
ery man. None are high enough to offend
it with impunity, none so low that il scorns
to protect them. It is throned witli the
king, and sits in the seat of the republican
magistrate; bin it also hovers over the couch
of t the lovely, and stands scnt?f)cl at the
prison,' scrupulously prcservinfj to the fel
on whatever rights he not has .forfeited.
Tho light of the law illumes tho palace and
the hovel, and surrounds lhe cradlr and lhe
bier. The strength of the law laughs fnr
fcilncss to scorn, and spurns tho intrench
incuts of iniquity. The power of the law
crushes lhe power of man, and strips wealth
iff unrighteous immunity. It is the bread
or Dtedahis to guide us through lhe laby
rinths or cunning. Ii is the spear of Ithu'r
iel to detect falsehood and deceit. It is the
faith or the martyr to shield us frmn the
files of persecution it is the good man's
reliance tho wicked one's dread tlie bul
wark of piety the upholder of morality
the guardian of right the distributer of
justice its power is irresistible iis do
minion indisputable. It is above us and
around us, and within us wc cannot fly
from its protection we cannot avert its
vengeance.
"Such is the law iri its essence; such it
should be in its enactments; such, too, it
would be, if none aspired to its administra
tion but those with pure hearts, enlarged
views, and cultivated minds."
Quarreling. The reason people quar
rel about religion is, because they really
have so little of it, and the more they
quarrel the more abundantly do they prove
it: A man has a right to stand by his re
ligious faith a right to insist upon it a
right fo present it respectfully, on all prop
er occasions, to the consideration of others,
but he Jiris no right to quarrel, and any man
that will quarrel about these things, in my
opinion, has not much to quarrel about.
Politicians need not quarrel. Whoever
quarrels with a man (or his political opinions,-
denies the first principle of freedom
