steamer Corwin, as before stated, was detailed to
convey accounts of the affair to the department at
Washington, and to the owners of the Black War
rior in New York. A few minutes before her de-

his ship would be given up to him without the cot
ton, but he refused to receive her on any condi-

received by detention, &c AS the Corwin steamed
by the shipping, the American vessels unfurled
their flags, and vast crowds witnessed her depar-

he has rescued many human beings and cattle from
