Why the Sumter Escaped.


Washington, Dec. IL.
The Navy Department has received
dispatches from Capt. Palmer, command

infinitely states his movements in order to
capture the pirate Sumter The gov
eminent at Martinique refused to give

Sumter would escape him, and wished
she was anywhere else than under French
protection as the authorities were throw
ing every obstacle in his way. The gov
eminent, however, repudiated everything
unlike friendship in reply to Capt Palm
ers complaint. Owing to the distance
from shore which the lroquois was oblig-
ed TO occupy and the fact that the bay is
fifteen miles wide, and for the reasons
above stated, the Sumter succeeded in
escaping. The Iroquois followed her but
