7HE TUSCARORA AND NASHVILLE.

SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY.
At the moment that news has re:ched us of peace-
able relations being maintained between England.
and America by the surrender of the captive com-
missioners, the war between the Federal and the
Confederate States is brought to our very doors, and

the two navies stand arrayed against each other, at
least by deputy, in British waters. The entrance to
the Southampton docks is absolutely under blockade,

as far as one vessel is concerned—a blockade, too,
which promises to be far more effective in its results
than that which exists on the shores of the South-
ern States.
The new screw sloop of war Tuscarora, whose ar-
rival was reported yesterday, is moored at the en-

trance of the Itchen creek, just at its confluence
with the Southampton water, about a mile from the
dock mouth. She has her fires banked up, and lies
with two springs at her cable, ready to slip anchor
and start at a moment's notice. The Nashville, which
vessel the Tuscarora has come over to take specially
under her watchful care and protection, still remains
quietly berthed in dock, and no signs of getting up
steam have betrayed themselves, although it was
openly stated last night that she intended to ven-

ture out and put to sea this morning. However, the
probability is that, as the Nashville would not be
able to cope with such a formidable competitor, both
vessels will remain here looking at each other till
the war is over. The Tuscarora iS alined with nine
heavy guns, while the Nashville is stated to have
only two guns of somewhat inferior calibre. The
former is a bran new ship, just built at Philadel-
phia, and six months ago her keel was not even laid.

As soon as the Tuscarora arrived here yesterday
Captain Craven communicated with the captain of
the frigate Dauntless, which lies )ff Netley, ex-
pressing the regret he felt at hearing of the death
of his late Royal Highness Prince Albert, and
asking if there would be any objection to his firing
a salute of 21 minute guns at 12 o'clock to-day in
respect to his memory. Captain Heath replied that
in consequence of her Alajesty having requested
that no guns should be fired in the vicinity of
Osborne, the compliment,which he fully appreciated,
could not be accepted.
Yesterday evening Captain B ritton, the American
Consul at this port, went off to pay his respects to
Captain Craven, on board the Tuscarora, and, it
may be presumed, made such arrangements as will
render it a matter of impossibility for the Nashville
to make her escape.
Besides the Nashville, the only other American
vessels at present in port are the St. Charles, Cap-
tain Conway, which put in a month since for re-
pairs, and the Katandin, Captain lXetherley, which
arrived here on the 25th of November, with a cargo
of timber from Canada, and is now lying in the
river Itchen.

The Tuscarora has been sent over here by the
Federal Government to prevent, as far as possible,
depredations by Confederate privateers upon Ameri-
can vessels, and she is to be followed by one or two
other ships of the Federal Navy, to protect their
flag in the English Channel. In point of fact it has
occasioned much surprise among mercantile men
that the large amount of American shipping afloat
in these waters should hitherto have been left un-
protected during the war, and it can only be ac-
counted for by the fact of all the Federal vessels of
war being required fcr the blockade of the Southern
ports. The Government have, however, at length
decided to send two or three heavily-armed ships
to rendezvous in the Channel, for the protection of
Federal vessels afloat between this port and Gib-
raltar, a second of which is now daily expected here
to follow the Tuscarora. This intelligence will be
received with great satisfaction both at Lloyd's,
where large numbers of American ships arc insured,
and by mercantile men generally in England, many
of whom have large and valuable cargoes afloat in
American bottoms which are liable to capture by
Southern privateers, as in the case of the Sumter,
which has just appeared at Cadiz. Apart from all
political considerations or tendency to either Union
or Secession opinions,as the case may be may, it can-
not be the wish of either the British Government or
commercial men generally to see their own pro-
party destroyed, or exposed to destruction, by the
Nashville, Sumter, or any other Southern ship. In
protecting American property they are doing the
same service, to a great extent, for English pro-
perty, and therefore the determination of the Fede-
ral Government to protect vessels sailing under
their flag by the presence of these heavily-armed
war ships cannot but give satisfaction in shipping
and commercial circles.

With regard to the Nashville, there is no doubt
that intelligence of the expected arrival of the Tus-
carora was received by Capt. Pegrim some days ago
and every effort has been made to get her ready for
sea as expeditiously as possible. The British Go-
vernment bas observed the strictest neutrality in
regard to the repairs, &c., effected in this ship.
Nothing has been done but what was absolutely
nett ssary to make her seaworthy, and such repairs
only have been executed as are always permitted, as
an act of humanity, to any vessel in distress. In
proof of this it may be mentioned that on the ship-
wright who was engaged to repair her attempting
to put in some heavy pieces of oak to strengthen
her decks, to enable her to carry guns, the Govern-
ment authorities absolutely refused their permission
for the timber to go on board, and it still lies on
the dock quay. She has not been allowed to ship
powder; a small quantity which was on board
when she arrived here, and which she was permit-
ted to remove on shore, has been reshipped. No
guns or munitions of war have been put on board,
and, in fact, nothing has been allowed to be exe-
cuted but ordinary repairs.

Some of the officerscf the Tuscarora landed both
yesterday evening and this morning, but Captain
Craven has not yet been ashore. The sloop requires
only coals, water, and provisions, which are being
supplied her.
