ARRIVAL OF THE SARANAc AT NORFOLK
The Norfolk Herald of the 18th announces the
arrival of the U. s. steamer Saranac, five DAYS
from Havana. The Herald gives the following &C.
count of The cruise of the steamer:
" The Saranac arrived at Havana on Thursday
evening 23d ult., and lay off the Moro Castle mil
the next morning, when Capt Randolph, of the U
. corvette Albany, went on board and reported
that Spanish man-of-war had captured two
American vessels at the island oil Contoy on the
coast OF Yucatan that he had in an interview
with the Captain-General demanded that they
should be given up, and on the refusal of the Cap
tam General to do so, had declared his intention Of
re-capturing them
Ihe Saranac went into Havana about 10
o'clock on the morning of the oath, and Cant Tat.
nail had an interview with the Captain General in
which he informed that functionary that if be met
with American vessels, prizes TO a Snanisb y,aa
ofwar, he should require satisfactory account n
the reasons of their capture and if refused, he
should recaPture such vessels but as he was salts
fed that they formed portion of the invading ex-
petition, he should not seek them.
The Spanish authorities expressed much salts
faction at the course Of our Government
About three hours after the Saranac anchored
IN Havana Spanish brig of war came in with the
prisoners, but not the prizes; which latter were
supposed to have been ordered into some other port
in order to avoid collision.
On the following day, the 25th, the Saranac
got under weigh for Key West taking the two
corvettes ALBANY and Germantown) with her.
On their arrival they found the inhabitants OF Key
West had been in some alarm in consequence OF so
large number of men having been landed there
from the Creole, over whom the civil authorities
could have control They had, however, con-
Quoted themselves peaceably and orderly
The Saranac remained two days at Kew West.
and again proceeded to Havana taking as passen-
gers, Judge Marvin and Judge Douglas, (the lat
ter Collector at Key Wes0 These gentlemen,
with Capt Tatnall, of the Saranac, called on the
Captain General, and stated to him their reasons
Tor believing that the men captured at Contoy had
abandoned the expedition. In reply, they were in
formed, that distinction had been made between
these men and those who landed at Cardenas that
the former were well treated and would have a fair
trial and every opportunity to prove their inno-
cence. No one was permitted to visit them-a
rule that applies equally to Spanish subjects The
interview was altogether satisfactory
The Saranac again got under way for Kew
W est in order to recruit the health of the crew
many OF whom were sick She remained three or
four days at Key West and again sailed for Ha-
vana Here, finding that no further descent was
expected or apprehended the Saranac sailed on
W Wednesday last for Savannah, in order to ask
further instructions from the Government, but in
consequence OF the giving way of an important
past OF the engine, her course was altered for
Norfolk "
