VENEZUELA PRIVATEER.
The annexed statement was received in town yesterday from the Balize. If it be correct, this vessel has certainly infringed the neutrality of the United States and should be sent after and brought back to answer for it, if possible. We sincerely wish the patriots of South America success—but if their own interest, the laws of nations and every other human consideration, do not induce them to respect our rights, they should be taught the danger of insulting their natural ally.
"The Venezuela armed schr. Jupiter (which sailed without paying pilotage, or giving an order for it) captured within musket shot of the Bar, the Spanish brig La Regna delos Angelos, captain Roca, from Campeachy, bound to New Orleans, and Spanish schr. Hipolite, captain Ventura Marias, from Campeachy and Vera Cruz, also bound to New Orleans—the crews of the two vessels were landed at the Balize, except the captains, who are detained on board the privateer."
