Captain Rodgers givesan official account
Of the AFFAIR
Yesterday when running for. this

but kept my course and she did not
catch us; but another steamer, under
the command Of the General of Marines,
came out from under the land and in
tcrcepted us.
She fired four shots astern ana ahead
of us, and at length ranging alongside,
hailed US to stop, which after many re-
petitions of his hail ! did. He sent an

We learn that the United States mail
steamer Cherokee, which left here on
Tuesday afternoon for Chagrs,, via Ha.
vana, went well armed, having on board
ten fine guns, six of which are to be
placed on board the steamer Falcon
We learn that the commanders of these
vessels have instructions to resist with
promptness, for the future, any insult OIL
indignity that may be offered them by
any of the Spanish vessels of war.
This is the right spirit. 1t will mset
the hearty approval Of the whole Anne
rican people. The commanders of the
vessels named are brave and experienc
ed naval officers, and if they come into
contact with the Spanish hirelings they
will give good account of themselves
We should not be surprised to hear o.
q brush between one Of the steamer
and the old Caledonia, or Habanero be

The steamers Fanny and Alabama

These vessels could not have taker
less than 1000 or 1900 men. Both o
them arc fine ocean steamships. Th,
Alabama is quite fast boat, and woult
probably outsail any steamer in tn,
Spanish navy, The Fanny is not very
fast. She formerly belonged TO the Gu
bans, and was engaged in tho Rount
Island affair.
