they are nermeddes and espasses The said real estate
belongs the States Of Maryland and Louisiana, and they
alone have the right TO the possession thereof There is
great danger the said real estate is situated, that it
will be dapdated, and that the and fruits produced

This application granted, and the Judge ordered The
Sheriff. Gen. LEWIS take possession Of all the said real
estate That officer forthwith proceeded to the Union Bank

the papers, deeds and titles there deposited covering the
tire real estate .&
The process Of sequesaon merely mode provided by
the civil law, by which the sheriff takes possession Of real

By this procedure Gen. Lewis becomes for the present,

CURRENTS OF THE OCEAN.

Capt. FOSTER, of the steamer Alabama, informs
Lieut.. MAURY that short time since bottle was
picked up on the east side of Old Providence Island
in the West Indies, twenty-five months after il had
been thrown overheard off the Cape Of Good Hope.
But for being cast ashore here, this solitary cruiser
would probably have entered the Gulf Stream, and
then il might have been cast up on the shores Of
Europe.
The investigations of the currents of the sea-
which are conducted with SO much labor ind pa1
tence at the National Observatory, haveled to some
curious and interesting discoveries. Among these
we are informed that there is reason to believe iT
the existence OF current from the Red Sea around
Cape Horn, thence through the West Indies, and,
by way of the Gulf Stream, to the English Cham
mel and, moreover, that this current from the Red
Sea divides itself the other side of the Cape o
Good Hope !; one part Of which passes around ihi|
Cape to the West Indies, as in the case 0f the Oh
Providence bottle, while the other portion paases
south Of New Hollend, thence in south1sst diFac-
ton to the regions of the ice land of the Antarctic
Being here DETECTED it returns to the north as the
ce-bearing current which enters the Atlantic on
this side Of Cape Horn.
Bottles that have been thrown overheard into this
current have been picked up on the Irish shores.
Thus two bottles being cast into the Red Sea, it
may be conceived how II is possible for them to
separate with the current to the eastward of Good
Hope, and, escaping all the accidents o. being thrown
out by the way they might again cone together in
the West Indies, after having doubled, one the
Cape Of Good Hope, the other Cape Horn.
