ARRIVAL OF A BEARER OF DISPATCHES LORD MA
The Bermudian government steamer Syren ar
rived at New York on Monday, with a bearer of
dispatches to Lord Napier from Admiral Stewart,
on the West India station, in relation to the search
of American vessels. The Express says:
awe understand that dispatches which Lieut..
Richardson brings are in reply to the communica-
ton sent by Lord Napier sometime since to Sir
the 'Styx' and 'Buzzard.' In these dispatches the
Admiral informs his Lordshp that the proceedings
OF the steamers and gun boats in boarding Ameri-
can vessels are entirely unauthorized by any orders
emanating from him, and that before he received
his Lordship's communication, setting forth the
state OF public feeling in the United States in re-
gard to the violation of the American flag, and the
action taken by Government and Congress thereon,
he had sent out the steamer Devastation, with or
dcrs to overhaul the Styx ard Buzzard, and put
stop to their unwarrantable action. He assures
Lord Napier, and through him the American gov
ernmcnt, that he has taken, and will continue to
take, every necessary step to prevent further vsi
tation of American vessels by British cruisers and
to allay all ill-feeling that may have arisen from
iu-considered conduct Of impradent officers. The
Admiral concludes this dispatch by the intma-
tion that the 'outrages' at end, and that he
will have the pleasure of shortly communicating
more in detail with his Lordshp as he will, within
a few days, be at Halifax"
