we'd from St. Augustine, in the revenue cutter
Campbell, capt. Cost, we llear thai Col. liar
ney had asliarp sknmlsh with sam Jones on the 9th
ult., about % miles below Key I;iseaync. sam
Jones fed with lbs followers, a large proportion Of
whom were women and children, into the everglades,

Tie Sieam f5gate.-The Alexandria Gazette
says:-' We regret to hear that the t.. :. Steam
Fligate Fulton, now at the Navy yard in Washington,
IS considered a conpiotG ~IalHrc." THIS IS confirm
aiory Of statement published some weeks ago inthc
Fredericksburg Arena, which declared the Fulton
TO be a decided failure. We are sincerely sorry for
IT, lnasmucl as the circumstance is likely to impair
public confidence IN steatl vessels as means of coast
and harbor defence, when, IN fact, there ought to be
aud need be no such %nlsslsing created in reference
to them. The untitness OF the Fulton, like that Of
some Of the vessels burt Tor the Exploring Exnchi-
ton. would appear 10 Leave but little room for doubt
rs to the absence of thai practical knowledge IN the
Navy Department, which is INDISPENSABLE TO the
successful modelling Of vessels Of the various grades.

Liverpool 10 st. Marks, FLORIDA, when near the

wards proved to be the Brush brig of war Wander
Ell. The ship, after beng arrested IN her course by
the shots fired from the brig. WAS boarded by an Off
Ger from the Latter, who made minute inquiries rs to the
owners. cargo, destination, Nc. No reason WAS assign
Ell Tor tins outrageous proceeding On the part Of the
British commander. We hope that our Govern
ment will order one of the t.. S. vessels al Pcnsa-
cola To that quarter, with such Instructions as will
satisfy Her Majesty commander that liberties of this
character are not 10 bo taken. with lmpunity, with
American vessels engaged in the pursuits of lawful

ed. The same treatment is mctcd ont without par
TALLY to the vessels Of all nations. \ French brig,
the Louise, from Bordcaux, bound also for Tampl-
