An act of piracy, the most horrible that can
well be imagined, was committed on this coast,
on the night of the 24th ult. A German, named
Frederick, who had arrived with cocoa, from
Chorony, was returning thither, with four thous-
and dollars in gold, and had with him his wife,
who had been spending some days in Puerto Ca
vello. This unfortunate woman had with her,
her best jewels, as is customary on such occa-
sions; two other women also accompanied her to
Chorony. Frederick anchored as usual off the
Island called "del Roy" to stop during the ear
ly part of the night. At eight o'clock, they
were surprised by about ten persons from Bor-
burata, led on by one Julian barra (alias Iztcta)
these villains fell on them, and assassinated the
three women and two sailors: Frederick jumped
into the sea and had the good fortune to reach
the shore where he lay concealed until the brig
ands withdrew. He then returned to the boat,
in Which he proceeded Immediately to this port,
bringing with him the killed and wounded, a.
mounting to six, all of whom were buried yestcr-
day, the wounded having died few hours af-
ter their arrival 1t filled one with horror to be-
hold these unfortunate wretches covered with
stabs. Coloncls Gala, Boguer and Esteves, inn
mediately despatched fechera, with troops, to
Borburata, under the command of Captain Bap-
tista, who, after experimenting Julian and three
of his accomplices, returned thither yesterday
morning. These criminals are to be forthwith
tried by the Admiralty Court, and Will doubtless
suffer death in few days
