BOSTON, December 22.

Last Monday Joseph Andrews, alias Anderson, on an information of being one of the villains that murdered Capt. Duryee, and all the people on board (one excepted) as mentioned in the deposition of William Harris, at St. Kitt's, was apprehended in this town, and immediately carried before a Magistrate, who, after a close examination, committed him to gaol. He showed great signs of guilt on his being first apprehended, but denied before the Justice of his being concerned in the piracy and murder above mentioned. He arrived at Caco Bay in a vessel from St. Eustatia, some time ago, from which place he took a passage on board a coasting sloop for this town, where he had been six weeks the day he was taken. Two days after he arrived here he cut off his hair, in order, it is thought, to prevent his being known. Many of Capt. Duryee's things were found on him and in his chest, particularly a medal which he wore round his neck, and several shirts marked with the two letters of the Captain's Christian and surname. He had been flush of money ever since his arrival, and a considerable sum in gold was found on him when he was seized. The new stone gaol not being quite finished, he was by a habeas corpus removed on Wednesday last, under a strong guard, to Charlestown; and it is hoped this enemy to mankind will, in a short time, receive his just deserts.
