Norfolk, 10 February. The fitting out of a force to act against the pirates caused a lot of bustle on the yards. Last Saturday left 4 large schooners the dock and anchored off the fort Nelson. Yesterday two other schooners joined them and this afternoon anchored the Shark, Decoy and the steam galliot Sea Gull all near the Peacock. With a favourable wind was the departure planned tomorrow.
