In a recent letter I reported the landing of pirates of the Shamten and the fact that bey had kidnapped two Hale giriş, thereby canaing considerable excl emeat. The children were, as then reported, restored to their parents few hours, thanks to the prompt action of the British Consal, and the pirates were lodged in the Consular Cool, I now learn that the pirates have been handed over to the Aulbariles for punishment. They will, no doubt, be made a head shorier in the near future.
