THE WAR IN AMERICA.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.
(Per Arabia, via Halifax.)

arms and munitions of war from Havana.

The _Richmond Examiner says that the declara-
tion of the British Secretary of War that the South
had not yet accomplished her independence, has
dissolved the prospect of foreign intervention. The

of both North and South, in order to remove
American rivalry in commercial enterprise and

empire.
Lord Lyons left New York for Washington on
Tuesday last.
Archbishop Hughes has written a letter to Mr.
Seward, in which he says that America should be
prepared, for there is no love for her on the other
side of the Atlantic. Generally speaking, in
Europe the United States are ignored, if not
despised ; treated of in conversation in the same
contemptuous language that Americans might
employ towards the inhabitants of the Sandwich
Islands or Vancouver's Island. The Archbishop is
sorry to say that these assertions are unquestionably
true.

Letters are published in the New York journals
showing that Superintendent of Police Kennedy,
of New York city, on his own authority caused a
lady from New Orleans, 22 years of age, named
Brinsmode, to be arrested in Washington and
brought to New York, where she was confined in a
common cell of a police station during five weeks.
All applications of her friends to see here were use-
less, Kennedy, threatening, if they continued their
applications, to have them arrested. They then
applied to the War Department and to Provost-
marshal Draper at Washington, who denied all
knowledge of this arrest, and ordered the lady to
be released at once. The grounds of her arrest
were Kennedy's assertion that she sang secession
airs on the steamer coming from New Orleans, and
that she was a spy. The New York journals de-
nounce Kennedy's conduct as most infamous.
The Federal expedition which left Newbern,
North Carolina, has captured Hamilton and is ad-

and that two more are ready for plating with
iron which they expect to arrive from England.
The steamer NashTille is lying at the month of
Stone Inlet, six miles from Charleston, watching
for a chance to run out. There were 200 cases of
yellow fever at Charleston. The same correspon-
dent says that a steamer ran the Charleston blockade
on the Bth (?). The Federal steamer Flambeau
fired 22 shots against her side to stop her, but the
shots rattled off like hail. She is supposed to be
iron-plated, and also to have iron-plates on board.
