11V.--(This Day.)

THE CRUISE OF THE SAN JACINTO.

U.S. steamer San Jacinto, Nov. 20.
The San Jacinto, a first class screw steam sloop, mount-
ing 15 runs, lately attached to the "U.S. African squadron,
under the command of Flag-Officer William Inman, left
St. Paul de Loando on the 10th August last, on her return
to the United States, in the temporary command of Lieut.
D. M. Fairfax, U.S. navy, who was ordered to await at
Fernando Po the arrival of Captain Charles Wilks, U.S.
navy. On the 26th August Captain Charles Wilks toek
command of this ship,Lieut. Fairfax, returning to his former
position as executive officer. We left Ferdando Po on the
20th August, cruising close to the shore for the purpose of
ascertaining if any of the Confederate privateers had taken
any prizes to that coast. Arrived at Monrovia, Liberia
on the 12th, and at St. Vincent, Cape Verde, on the 25tH
Sept. Seeing by the papers that several Confederate
privateers had run the blockade, and taken several prizes in
the West India Islands, Captain Wilks determined to
cruise abont these islands, and to capture some of them
before returning with the San Jacinto to New York. We
arrived at St. Thomas on the 10th of October, and found
the Powhatan and Iroquois there. On the 11th, the British
brig Spartan arrived in port ; her master called on Captain
Wilks, and informed him that on the sth of October, while
in lat. 9 deg. 33 min. N., and long. 47 deg. 25 min. W., he
was boarded by a steamer, evidently a war vessel in dis-
guise, and after answering all questions, he could get no
other information in return but that they were on a cruise.
Captain Wilks showed him a photograph of the Sumter,
which he immediately recognised as the vessel by which he
was boarded. Captain Wilks then advised Commander
Palmer, of the Iroquois, to cruise immediately after her,
the Iroquois being the fastest steamer of the three, and to
follow her as far as Rio even, if necessary; at the same
time the San Jacinto cruised in the West Indies and Carib-
bean Sea to overhaul the Sumter, in the event of her re-
turning there. The Iroquois left St. Thomas on the 13th,
and we left on the 14th of October, in company with the
Powhatan. Since leaving St Thomas we cruised in the
vicinity of the Windward Islands, and visited Port Royal
and Kingston, in the Island of Jamaica, the Grand Cay-
man, Trinidad, Cienfuegos, Key West, Key Lobos, Segue
la Grande, and the Bahamas. Although for 20 months
engaged in an active cruise for slavers on the West Coast
of Africa, and much reduced in the number of her officers
and crew, the San Jacinto has been for the last six weeks
continually cruising in search of the Sumter. On our
arrival at Cienfuegos, we learned by the papers that the
Theodora had run the blockade at Charleston and ar-
rived at Havana, after landing the Confederate Commis-
sioners, Messrs. Mason and Slidell, with their secretaries,
Messrs. Eustis and M'Farland, and the families of Mr.
Slidell and Mr. Eustis at Cardenas, and that they would
proceed over land to Havana. As soon as Captain Wilks
heard of it he determined to pursue the Theodora,
and intercept her return to Charleston. He took, there-
fore, sufficient coal to go on a short cruise, and left Cien-
fuegos on the 26th of October, arrived at Havana on the
2S h, and learned that the Theodora had departed on her
return to Charleston, after being well received by the
authorities of Havana, and being presented at the Tacon
Theatre by the ladies of the Southern States with a
splendid Confederate flag. Messrs. Slidell. Mason, and
suite were still at Havana, boarding at the Hotel Cubana,
keptby Mrs. Brewer. One of our officers visited the hotel
with some of his friends, and met Mr. Mason in the parlour.
We learned from our consul-general that the Confederate
Commissioners were waited upon by H.B.M. consul, Mr.
Crawford, in full dress, and officially introduced by him to
Captain-General Serrano, of Cuba. When Captain Wilke
heard of their intention to take passage in the British
packet for Europe, he conceived the bold plan to intercept
the British mail-steamer, and in the event of these four per-
sons being on beard, to make them prisoners. We filled
up with coal in great haste, took in provisions (as a part of
our daily rations, for the crew were exhausted), and left
Havana on the 2d inst. On the 4th, in the morning, a
steam gunboat being in sight from the mast-head, we all
were in hopes that it would prove to be the Theodora, and
orders were given to beat to quarters. Scarcely four
minutes elapsed, and the San Jacinto was ready to receive
her foe; but we were doomed to disappointment—it turned
out to be her Britannic Majesty's gunboat Stag, bound from
Key West for Havana. We arrived the same day at Key
West in search of the Powhatan, or some other steamer,
to assist in intercepting the British packet. There being
another passage through the New Bahama Channels, Capt.
Wilks's plan was, that a steamer should cruise there, while
the San Jacinto was cruising in the Old Bahamas, so that
the mail-packet could not escape our vigilance ; but
the Powhatan having left for Key 'West the day before,
and no steamer except the Huntsville (and she corking)
being in port, our captain, nothing daunted, fully resolved
to undertake the boldly-conceived enterprise alone. On the
morning of the sth we left Key West, and running to the
north side of the Island of Cuba, touched at Sagua la
Grande, for the purpose of telegraphing to our Consul-
General at Havanna, Mr. Schufelt, to inform us of the time
of the British mail steamer's departure from Havanna, but
received no information. From thence we steered for the
Old Bahama Channel, about 20 miles east of the north side
of Cuba, 240 miles from Havanna, and about 10 from the
lighthouse of Paredou del Grande. The channel contracts
there to the width of 15 miles, and we could not very well
miss the object of our search. There we laid off and on,
during the night of the 17th, all our battery loaded, and
the bulwarks around the pivot gun on the forecastle
removed, Captain Wilks issued an order to Lieutenant
D. M. Fairfax, our executive officer, to have two boats
ready manned and armed to board the British packet
as soon as she should be hove to under our guns, and in the
event of Messrs. ,Mason, Slidell, Eustis, and M'Farland
being on board c.filier Vo-make them prisoners, and send
them immediately on board the San Jacinto, and also to
offer in his name, to their families, his cabin, in the event
they should determine to take a passage to tho United
States in the San Jacinto, assuring them that all the atten-
tion and comforts we could command would be placed at
their service, and closed the order with the following re-
mark :—" I trust that all those under your command, in
executing this important and delicate duty, will conduct
themselves with all the delicacy and kindness which be-
comes our naval service." In accordance with this order,
Lieutenant Fairfax had the second and third cutters
of the ship manned, armed, and kept in readiness, he having
the command of the enterprise. In the second cutter were
the following officers :—Lieut. D.M . Fairfax, commanding;
Second Assistant-Engineer James B. Houston ; Boatswain
H. P. Grace, with an armed crew. In the third cutter,
Lieut. J. Greer; third Assist.-Engineer.G. W. Hall; Pay-
master's Clerk R.G. Simpson; Master's mate C. B. Dahlgi en,
with an armed crew, marines, and a party of machinists. In
the morning of the Bth inst. the officers and crew of this ship
were anxiously and impatiently looking out for the' mai
steamer about 11.40 the look-out at the mast-head re-
ported smoke as from a steamer from the westward and
about 12 she was visible from the deck. We were all
ready for her, beat to quarters, and as soon as she was
within reach of our guns every gun of our starboard bat-
tery was trained upon her. A ehot from our pivot gun
was fired across her bow. She hoisted English colours, but
showed no disposition to slacken her speed or heave to.
We hoisted the " star-spangled banner," and, as soon as she
was close upon us, fired a shell across her bow, which
brought her to. Our captain hailed her, and said he would
send a boat on board, and ordered Lieutenant Fairfax to
board her. He went in the second cutter : at the same
time Lieutenant Green was already in the third cutter to
shove from the port side should his assistance be required.
On coming alongside the packet Lieutenant Fairfax ordered
the other officers to remain in the boat with the crew until
force should become necessary, and went on board alone.
The captain of the mail steamer refused to show his papers
and passenger list, knowing very well the object of our
visit and the character and mission of the four gentlemen
above-named. But Mr. Mason being recognised, a part of
the armed crew were ordered from the boat and came on
board, Messrs. Mason and Slidell were then persuaded
to come on board the San Jacinto, but declined, and
said that they would only yield by force; Mr. Slidell
making the remark that "It would require considerable
force to take him on board the San Jacinto." Lieutenant
Fairfax then ordered Mr. Houston to return to our ship
and report that the Confederate Commissioners were on
hoard the mail-steamer and refused to come on board the
San Jacinto by other means than force. Lieut. Greer then
shove off and went alongside the Trent, sent his armed
crew and marines onboard, and:stationed them at both
gangways, and then, after a " gentle application" of force,
the four gentlemen were taken in the 2d cutter and con-
veyed,on board of our ship, where they were received by
Captain Wilks at the gangway, and shown into his cabin,
where they are at the present time. Two other boats were
then sent on board to remove the luggage, and the ladies
having declined the hospitality offered them, at half-past
three we parted company from the Trent, During the time
our officers were on board the Trent the British passengers
expressed their sympathies with the seceeded States in the
strongest possible manner, and our officers were much
abused and threatened by the crowd ; they were called
pirates, robbers, and other opprobrious epithets, express-
ing great satisfaction at our loss at Bull Run and Lees-
burg. Our captain expressed much satisfaction at the
gallant and efficient manner in which Lieutenant Fairfax
(a Virginian by birth) and all the officers and crew under
his command displayed in the execution of this del cate
and important duty, and called the particular attention
of the Navy Department to it. After parting company
with the Trent we ran through the Santarem passage,
cruised to the northward along the shores of Florida an
South Carolina as far as Charleston, our gallant captain nod
satisfied wi h the important capture, fully determined to
take a part in the expedition against Port Royal, but to
the regret of " all hands" on board we came too late. The
Susquehanna and Alabama were off Charleston, and the
Florida off Hatteras. After leaving Charleston Bay, we
encountered strong head winds, and our coal being ex-
hausted, we put into Hampton Roads the next day, took in
coal, and after battling 40 hours with a severe north-
wester, arrived at Sandy Hook about 7.30 p.m., on the 18th,
On entering the Narrows, we were boarded by a steam-tug
with Marshal I\lurray and Deputy Marshal Sandford on
board. '1 hey delivered to Captain Wilks despatches from
the Secretary of the Navy, Gideon Welles, and Secretary
of State, William H. Seward. As soon as Captain Wilkes
read these despatches, he turned the ship's head to Boston,
where Marshal Murray was ordered to deliver the "illus-
trious prisoners" at Fort Warren.

DINNER TO CAPTAIN WILKES.

A complimentary dinner was given to Comman-
der Wilkes at the Rivere House, Boston, when he
repeated substantially the statements which have
appcpral in print with reference to the energetic
movements of the San Jacinto.

Capt. -WILKES said—Previous to his decision to
act as he did he consulted all the authorities—Kent,
Wheaton, and Vattel—and satisfied himself that
written despatches from a belligerent were contra-
band on a neutral vessel ; and he considered that
as rebel ambassadors must be the embodiment of
despatches, it was his duty to arrest their progress,
unless they could show proper passports from the
Federal Government. (Laughter and cheers.) This
they could not do, and he detained them in his
custody. He was satisfied that the Trent was a
legal prize, of great value to his ship if taken, but
there had been no dissenting voice on hoard
his
vessel as to the wisdom of the course he pursued.
In the process of the arrests he was glad to say
everything was conducted properly, and nothing
occurred which would not do honour to the Ameri-
can navy. (Cheers.) He would have felt justified
in seizing the Trent itself, but he concluded to allow
the vessel to proceed, though he thus deprived his
men of a prize worth 150,000 dols. ; and he took
pride and pleasure in saying that there was not a
man on board the San Jacinto who did not say he
had done right.
Governor ANDREW proposed the health of
" Lieutenant Fairfax, and the other officers of the
St. Jacinto." _ _

Lieutenant FATRPAX responded as follows :—I
thank you, gentlemen, for this cordial welcome. I
am in heart a Virginian, but I am a native of the
United States, and owe allegiance to the Govern-
ment of the United States. (Laud applause.) When
