Capt. M'Lellan, 8 days from Bermuda, informs us, that the Bermudians are actually quitting the business of privateering, which they have so infamously prosecuted to the detriment of our commerce for a long period. Most of their privateers are already hauled up, and they dismantle every one as it arrives. The reason of this sudden change of conduct, is the panic by which they are struck by the news of the reversal of some of their Vice-Admiralty decrees. Reports were current, that writs of attachment had arrived, and were about being executed upon the property of some of the principal privateersmen.
