All the money was found excepting 28 which shows that he travelled like a prudent man. Thus endeth the first chapter of the life and adventures of Mr. M'Donald Hobbs. Spectator, Feb. 25.

PIRACIES. Accounts from the West Indies state, that two more American vessels had been captured by pirates off Cuba to which is added the report, which we hope is Unfounded, that the crews were tied to the rigging, and all burnt together It is further stated, that die friends of the pirates in Mantanzas are in the habit of insulting the American citizens pelting them with stones. If these thing are true, a day of vengeance is not far distant. Boston Patriot. boldfaced villain" has just been detected, who has been carrying on.

business during the winter upon quite a large scale. He ar rived here on' the 31st of Decern' ber.and took lodgings at Bunkers in Wall-street, under the name of M'Donald, where he remain' ed until Monday last. During the latter part ol his residence there, the money of gentlemen who were lodgers, frequently disappeared in small sums, some' times from their trunks, and sometimes from their pocket books but excepting the loss of money, neither trunks nor pock et-books, appeared as though they had been molested. Ou Monday last it was ascertained that 130 dollars had been taken from the pocket-book of a Cap tain Whitney, while he was asleep 30 dollars from a Mr. Hatha way and 15 from Theodore Dwicht.

Esq. Suspicion at length attached itself to M'Donold, and he was charged with the offences above mentioned. After some nrevarication. he confessed the fact, and repaid a part of the mo ney. One gentleman undertook i XO ucliilll mill vy tuuvei aauvii, while another went for an ottv cer.

But he smelt a rat," dod out of doors, and for any thins that they could tell, va- nished into "thin air aearcn was made for him in vain and it was presumed that the Tread Mill had lost the service of an other Corinthian. But it apear-ed by subsequent events, that the Thieving God, who, when he gets his pupils into scrapes, leaves them to get out as they can themselves, had not done with the spruce Louisianian Mackeroni. On leaving Bunker's, forgetting, by the bye, to pay his bill, our hero stepped ou board the Empress, for Charleston, which was on the eve of sailing. Here he represented himself as being a valetudinarian, and took to his birth. The ship hauled oat on Tuesday, but in consequence of tbe ice was obliged to put in at White-hall dock, where she lay until Saturdayour invalid keeping to his birth, with the curtain drawn, as it wag befitting that a lck man should.

On Friday, Mr, Beers, of Wall-street, went on board, and committed to the care of the Captain, for his part ner, (Mr. Bunnel, now Charleston) the sum of 4550 dollars in prudeiit man, locked snugly in his trunk but -unfortunately there was a rent in the curtain. On Saturday, the Empress went to sea, and when she arrived at the Narrows, the Captain had occasion to go to his trunk, when 4 Io, and behold," the 4550 dol lars had vanished through the key hole, and on drawingthe curtain to communicate the loss to his worthy passenger, instead of consolation, he found that he had taken his departure Intelligence of these facts was immediately sent up to the city by a pilot-boat, and another search commenced. On applying at the stage-office in Courtfand-street, it was ascertained that just at dark on Friday evening, a gentleman in a carriage thundered up to the door to take passage in the Citizen's Coach" for Philadelphia, and it was necessary that he should cross the ferry that night. He declined getting out of the carriage, and had no money to pay his fare, but Southern bills, which, like hoaest men, though not living in Wall-street, the keepers sf the stage-ofiice shaved at 10 per cent.

On asking for his name, to enter it on the way-bill, the traveller hesitated. Finally he said-it-it was-it was Hobbs. Hobbs, how do you spell it," said coachey. 14 Why, H-o-double b-i," replied the traveller. And so it was put down Hobbs, and oft he went in er, created some suspicion, and when Mr.

Beers applied on Saturday evening, he resolved at once to give chace to Mr. Hobbs. He was returned by his excellency the Governor with reasons for not approving it. 'A more imnotent effort of snleen folly, the annals of administra tion of Pennsylvania, cannot furnish. In the bitterness; of desperation, it acknowledges the fact, to which the present execu tive has so largely contributed, and which it as assidiously, and 1 might say insidiously, endea voured to conceal from the peo- pie, mat auer naving a million of the public monev in the short space of three years, our finances are in so ruinous a condition, that it is almost im possible to pay 150,000 dollars of borrowed money, without encoun tenng the risk ot state bankrupt cy.

The bill passed both hou ses by more than two thirds, not withstanding the objections of the executive It democracy be trae to herself, 1823 will termi nate the ruinous career of this administration, and bring about a state ot democratic economy. Union alone, however, will ensure this." Frank. Gaz. Harrisburg, Feb. 21.

Extract from Washington. 'Johh RAxnotPH has not o- fened his lips during the session. Ie knows that a speech irom him is generally expected, and, therefore, he means to disappoint expectation. He is famous for attending the sitting in the worst weather. His star is in the west.
