today has been again very inanimate, scarcely 1,000 hales

The New York papers to the 12th of May, bring the fol
lowing account of the President steamfr

" The most probable statement that has as yet appeared
seeming to throw any light upon the painful matter in sus-
pense, was brought to this port some days ago by a British
barque, the Recovery, from the port of Bristol. Her captain,
Bowman, is said to have reported that on the 28th of March,
when off the Azores, he saw at a great distance the hull of a
large ship, dismasted, which he took to be a man of war, and
that about the same time he saw fragments of spars, casks, &e.,
floating on the water. This is supposed to be the President.
By the subjoined note it will be seen that an investigation of
this report is to be made to-morrow before the British Consul:—

" British Consulate, May 10.
" Gentlemen,—ln consequence of the report that R. Bow-
man, master of the barque Recovery, of London, on the
voyage frOrit Bristol to this port, saw a very large vessel dis-
masted, which from the latitude may have been the steam-
ship President, without having made any effort to afford relief
to a vessel so circumstanced, I have deemed it my duty to re-
quire the attendance of the master, officers, and seamen of that
vessel, at this Consulate, to.morrow at noun, to investigate the
statement as published, to which I respectfully invite the gen-
tlemen of the press. JAS. BUCHANAN. '
