ANOTHER STEAMER SEEN---PRoBABLE SAFETY
OF THE PRESIDENT
Liverpool, June 4th.
We have had a grea: many arrivals Of yes
sells from foreign ports to-day, and among ,hem
the Fortitude, from Buenos Ayres; the captain

May, at A. M. lat AZ N. long "a 80 w.
about 10 miles distant, he saw very large
steamer steering to the NE. without funnel
crippled foremas, and large paddle boxes
painted Of dark color, with a large square
topsail set on the maintopmast, topgallantsai
on the foretopmast and with fore and aft sails
The steamer was making very slow progress
This intelligence communicated by Capt Ar
buthnot has excited the most intense interest
here, and many persons still hope that from
concurrent circumstances it may be the Pres.
ident; and probably the steamer seen by the
Portuguese brig Come de Palma, on the 23d
April in lat 81 and long. 40. Others suppose
it may be the Britannia steamer from Halifax,
but this impression is by no means general TO-
wards the close of the day the opinion is very
strong that the vessel seen by the For,itude
will prove TO be the President; but it is at bes,
mere conjecture.

but the weather was too thick to distinguish her.
LIVERPOOL, 6 Is p. m.-The impression
gains ground every hour, that the steamer seen
by the For.itude is the President.
Another Account.
A marked sensation was produced yester-
day at Liverpool, by the report, brought by the
Fortitude, Captain Arbuthnot, which arrived in
the morning from Buenos Ayres. The report
was, that on the 9th Of May, at o'clock A. NJ
in lat. AZ N, long. "a 80 W., a very large
steamer was seen, distant about ten miles,
weather rather hazy. She appeared crippled
and was without funnel. Her paddle-box
was large, and painted a dark colour. She had
large square topsail set on the main topmast
topgallantsail on the foretopmast, with fore and
aft sails. She was steering to the northeast,
and sailing heavily. Capt. Arbuthnot expressed
himself confident that the vessel seen was a
steamer, while his mate is reported to have
said that she might have been a ship some-
what crippled. But if the captain is right and
the mate wrong-if the vessel was steamer,
and not ship----the interesting question is----
what steamer is she? At first, the general OPT
MON was that she must have been the long
missing President, which, having been disabled
and driven far south. wa, returning to the north
east, on her way home. From sketch of the
appearance Of the strange sail drawn by Capt.
Arbuthnot, some persons conjectured that, if
she was steamer, she might have been Bos-
ton steamer disabled. 1t could not, i. was ev-
ident, have been the Britannia, from Boston
and Halifax; for though, if she sailed on the
10th ult, she is three days beyond her usual
time, she could not have reached the latitude
and longitude on the 25th Of May. But, if not
the Britannia, might not the vessel have been
the Acadia which sailed from Liverpool on the
18th, and would have been about the place in
dicated by Capt. Arbuthnot on the 25th?
These were some of the conjectures afoat
yesterday at Liverpool, and they are mentioned
merely for the purpose of showing the uncer-
tainty in which the report brought by the For
ttude has left matters respecting the strange
sail seen on the 25th of May. The agents for
the Halifax and Boston steamers are not under
the slightest apprehension, that if the supposed
crippled vessel was steamer, it was either Of
their ships
A gentleman has suggested, that as the ves-
sci seen was in the track of the Britannia, it
may turn out that, if she was the President, the
Britannia may have fallen in with her, and is
towing her TO the eastward
