THURSDAY, JULY 80, 1912.

InbOrtant.
ON the afternoon Of SUndsy OF the 27th inst
twenty American captains, mates and sea-
men, were t,oLeht into this port, by BLOCK
Island tost-who were taken out OF the brig
Dispatch, Mark, Of New Haven. These
unfortunate men, with many more, were eaP-
tured since the Declaration oi War by tho
British squadron now cruizlDg on oui coast.
Whilst detained as prisoners oil wsr, on board
the English squadi on, they were well treated
and received considerable attention. They
were given all their cloths, and permitted TO
return TO this country, after swearing and
signing on allegation that they would not take
up arms against the British government Till
they were regularly exchanged. On the 10th
inst. the English squadron captured the brig
Dispatch, capt. Max, of and bound 10 New
Haven, Come ctiout, ladeD with molasses---
after throwing over board half Of her cargo,
they put on board Of her one hundred and
fifty American semen. including captains,
and mates-who were released upon their
fGrole de Acnor as before stated. The Unit
cd States brig Nautiius, commanded by 1t.
Crane, was captured by this squadron ailer
hard chase OF several hours. The Nautilus
would rot have been captured had il not been
owing 10 strong gale, with short chop
ping head beat sea, a sudden change OF
wind and carrying away some of her spars.-~
During the chase 1t. Crane threw over
board all her lee guns. and carried such
press OF sail upon ,he brIg, that several
times she liked 10 have upset Every excl
tion that possibly could be made to save his
vessel, Was made by her commander, who
displayed during the chase skill of an exper.
ienced seaman, and perfect knowledge OF
his profession, but the wind blowing 50
hard, that he could not carry to it whilst ir
was only whole sail breaze for the trigaic,
he was captured.

Some further letters have been received
from the Baltic. 1t is stated, by one of them,
that the ports of Russia had been shut against
England on account of a termination to the
differences between France and Russia. We
do not believe the statement.
Latest from Shain.--We have received
(says the Boston Chronicle) Cadiz letters and
papers to the 10th June the French contin-
ued to lombard the city of 200 shells thrown
from the Ftench works In the "a hours end
ing the lst May, only reached tho city.
The bombardme3t continued on the 10th
June, when several shells more than usual
had reached the city and did much damage.
A sharp and sanguinary conflict took place
OH the 2a June, between the Spaniards under
Gen. Ballesteros, and the French under Gen
Courrour, near Bornos, The paper OF Glib.
ratar in May, mention the junction Of 1000
French infantry, and 400 cavalry, in the di-
rection of Gaudaleta river; Forno. is on that
river. The Spanish force, according to their
own account, was 5000 men the French,
5000, according to the same account the
action is described as sanquinary and well
fought. The S2aniards are described as
having commsnced the action with great spir-
il, but were unable to stand the charge Of the
French the rout of the Spaniards was com
ple,e they left 500 dead on the field,among
whom was their adju,snt and hrigadier scncr-
al Don Pascal Maupoey. The Spanish ac-
caunt describe it as the most desperate ac,ien,
and the mos, sanguinary, for its numbers, of
any since the war and they lost all their n
best officers. The Spaniards do not state
the French loss.
The Spaniards ihihe first assault had taken
posse ssion Of one Of ,he French field pieces,
but were ali killed and toe piece rc-takcn.
The defeat is attributed however TO want
Of discipline and capable officers.
