A good Haul.—Through the medium of the Baltimore American, we learn that the United States Steam Galliot, Sea Gull, and two small English schooners, arrived at Key West on the 2d. instant, having on board NINETEEN PIRATES, which were captured in an American ship and brig near Matanzas. It is said that the pirates murdered the crews of both vessels. We hope that if these fellows are convicted by a court of justice in the United States, they will experience a reward different from that administered under the mild administration of Mr. Monroe.
