Special dispatches state that wher Com
Wilkes message to the British captain, de-
mondine the surrender of Mason and Sill
dep. was delivered by Lieut.. Fairfax. the
reply was that there was not force enough
10 nkc them. Com. Wilkes immediately
nut the San ,lacinto in a raking position,
opened bis ports, and politely told John
Bull ,ha. he should try what force would
do. Thpreupon the captain Of the steam
er raved and swore, calling the United
States officers "piralieal Yankees, nc.
but he very prudeully gave up the obnox-
ious passengers. They made but feeble
resistance. Eustace, one OF their secreta-
ries, was quits obslreperous, but fioally ac-
companied the traitors into confinement
The British captain pretended to have
taken them on board without knowing wh1
they were, their destination or business
not very likely story. The British Steam
err displayed no flag excepting thai Of heI
own nation.
Com. Wilkes is understood to have acted
on his own responsibility. In an interview
with Gen. Wool, Friday, he reported the
news in person, and expressed the opinion
that he had done right, and said that, right
or wrong, these men had to be secured, and
if he had done wrong, nothing more could
be 1cne than to cashier him for it.
Gen. Wool granted Slidell and Mason
permission to send open letters to theil
friends. The San Jacinto, with the rebel
on board, left Fortress Monroe for New
York on Saturday.

The Rebel Commissioners Caught.
Mason and Siideii Taken Prisoners by
The San Jacinto.

The u. S. war steamer San Jacinto,
Com. Wilkes, arrived at Fortress Monroe,
Friday, from the coast of Africa via the
West Indies, where she has been cruising
for six weeks. Old Point was electrified
by the tidings that she had on board Messrs
James NJ. Mason and John Sldell, who
were going abroad as ministers of the south
ern coufederacy 10 England and Frame, but
were taken from the British mail steam
ship Trent, in the channel of the Bahama.
Official dispatches received at Washing
ton from Com. Wilkes, state that when the
San Jacinto stopped at Cienfuegos, the es-
cape of Sldrll aud Mason was ascertained.
Proceeding thence to Havana, it was ua-
dersiood they had taken passage on the 7rh
inst, in the British mail steamship Trent,
plying between Vera Cruz, St. Thomas
and Southampton.
While the San Jacinto was in III, mar
rowest Of the Bahama channel, about twen-
ty-four miles 10 the westward, she met the
packet, fired gun across her bows and
brought her to. Two boats were sent to
her with 25msn under command of Lieut..
Fairfax, who boarded the packet, and ar
rested Mason and Slidell, they being per-
sonally known to him. The rebel commits
sioners at first objected to being removed
without force. Their respective secretaries.
