THE BRITISH oUTRAGEs.

The special correspondent of the New York
Herald thus writes:
WASHINGTON, May "a, ls5s.-There is great
excitement in Washington from the accounts
published in the Herald yesterday of more outra.
ges by British cruisers, and Congress is in the
disposition to give additional powers to the Pres
ident. The administration believes Great Brit
ain will repudiate the conduct of its naval Off
GERS, but has prepared to repel such outr"ges
should they be repeated.
In addition to tho Colorado, jamestown and
Despatch, of the Home Squadron, the Navy De.
partment has ordered the Wabash, Fulton, Arc
tic, Water Witch and Dolphin to cruise on our
coast and in the Gulf, with orders to protect our
merchant men from search. The administration
will not permit search under any pretence Of
treaty or suspicion. Tile broad ground Mat the
american fay is iaoiolate has been taken and
piH be maintained.
The bill introduced by Judge Douglas in the
Senate to-day to redress outrages upon the fag
and citizens of the United States, and which is
doubtless given in your report of the Senate's
proceedings, is one of the most important steps
taken for years. Affecting the power of the Ex.
ccutiye, giving the President power to redress
outrages upon our flag and citizens, it is pre-.
cisely what Mr.. Buchanan desires. 1t will
place the responsibility upon him and he will
not finch in its exercise. 1t is understood the
Committee on Foreign Relations will report the
bill back Immediately.
Judge Douglas will move an amendment 10 the
bill, the substance of which is to empower the
President in cases of violation Of the laws Of
nations and outrage by foreign government on
our citizens, to issue special letters OF repriSal
to be placed in the hands Of al officer of the
United States Navy, who will proceed in vcs
sci of war oud seize upon the property of the
government 80 offending, aud bring it to the
United States, where by decree Of q court hav-
ing admiralty jurisdiction, it shall be sold, aud
the proceeds applied to liquidate the claim of
the American citizens upon whom the outrage
has been committed, the measure Of damages to
be ascertsined by the Court of Claims.
The British minister is in difficulty, for he
thinks suspicious circumstance or appearances
Justify, under the treaty, the search Of English
cruisers.-He aud his government will have to
back down from this position or take the conse-
quences.
Captain .Dshlgreen, now in command of the
practice ship Preble, hes rendered his services
to the Secretary of the Navy, which will proba-
bly, be accepted, to join the Home Squadron for
the protection of our commerce in the Gulf.
The steam revenue cutter Harriet Lane now
stationed at New York, will probably be ordered
to join the Home Squadron.

LATEST OUTRAGE OF A BRITISH caUIsER-FuR-
THER PARTICULARS

It vas stated Yesterday that the ship Claren.
don, Csptsin Bartlett, of New York, had been
boarded in the harbor of Sagua la Grande by
an officer from the British steamer Buzzard,
when an alteration occurred between him and
the captain of the Clarendon, which ut one tune
threatened serious consequences to the former.
The account is furnished by Captain Nichols,
of tho bark John Howe who obtained 1t from
Captain Bartlett, and is in substance as follows:
The steamer ran in as near as was deemed
prudent, and then fired several guns, blank
shots,) which Captsin Bartlett understood, OF
course, to be request for him to show his colors
He paid no attention, however, to the demand

ty of small arms, when he captain B. took his
ensign, and laid it on the cabin table. Soon
after the boats arrived alongside, and the com.
msnder of the steamer in person came on board,
when Capt B. received him politely, but pro.
tested against the proceedings, and would not
allow any Of the men to come On board, threat
euiug. to shoot the first that attempted it. Capt.
B. and the British commander then proceeded
to the cabin, when he 1.-THE commander of the
steamer,) commanded him TO hoist his ensign.
He replied, "There it lies upon the table, and II
your commission is worth enough, hoist it your
aelfn
The British officer, pistol in hand, commenced
pacing the cabin, saying that he would seize the
vessel and take her to the port of New York, to
which Capt. B. replied that was exactly what he
wanted him to do; when, whether by intent or
accident, Capt. B. was struck on the breast by
the hand which held the pistol. Capt. B. then
presented his pistol and said: "Sir, keep your
hands off me, or will shoot you" The officer
replied: ~ did not lay my hands on you" when
Capt. B. rejoined-"You did, sir" The officer
inquired if the sugar on board belonged to Capt
b. when he replied: l never owned hogshesd
of sugar in my life" The same question was
asked in regard to the launches, (boats for con:
veying the sugar from the shore on board, and
the same reply given. The officer, completely
cowed,, proceeded on deck, and, after reaching
the deck, Gin perfect rage beloved. forth

B. quietly said Sir, did you order that ladder
to be lowered, or did you request it to be low
ered?" when the officer said: "Will you please
have it lowered1" Capt. B. then gave orders for
it to be done, and the Britisher departed without
having accomplished his purpose.
Capt. Nichols, whose vessel was also boarded
and searched, is of opinion that the British off.
Ger was intoxicated at the time.
