The German armed steam-pinnace Schamien, under command of Laoatamant Reymann, went out for a cruise in a forenson of the 2nd inst., and was lucky enough to surprise a party of pizatas, soren in number, sotually engaged in robbing the passengers of a passenger padille post of their clothes and Annd valuables. The pirates had already succeeded in robbing another paddle boat, and had also tried to get hold of a Chiness steam-Jaunch, but the latter made her escape, after being shot at and hit twice only, The place of the piracy was near Bhekmoon, As soon se tlie pirates saw the Schamien approaching, they absconded into the rice fields, but were pursued at once by Licatouant
