Captain Veacock, of the Barque Minnesota, at

9th Of June, the steam Towboat Sarah, owned
by the highly respectable American firm of
Hobbs g. Alvaringe, ship chambers, while in
the act Of taking stores to schooner, which
cleared on the 9th, and three miles ont of the
harbor, bound to the coast of Africa, supposed
on trading voyage owned by one Romes,
a notorious slave trader, was siezed by the CON-
mandcr Of the British steamer Cormorant who
ordered her crew to be imprisoned on board his
vessel, and the vessel to be blown up, which
was promptly executed. Messrs. Hobbs e. Al
varinge, represented the matter to the American
Minister, and assured his excelency that their
towboat was engaged in no avocation but what
was strictly legal and in accordance with the
maratime laws of the country. The American
sloop-oEwar Dale, commander Pearson, lay in
the harbor, affording the United States minister
ample power to arrest the Cormorant's crew,
and blow that vessel up; bnt in accordance with
his established GOODNESS and great Judgment, he
submitted The matter 10 the Federal govern
ment, where, doubtless, PREPARATION and apology
