Another seizure OF New York vessels.

Up to the present time the arms seized by the
New York police, have failed to come to hand, or
even to be delivered into the possession OF the
agent of the State IN New York. There is no pros
pect of their recovery according to present appear
ances and the Governor has determined to resort
other means for reimbursing our citizens for their
loss Under his order, Col. Lawton seized yester-
dav the following vessels now in port, belonging to
citizens of New York, and placed them under
military guard:
Ship Martha S. Ward, 75S tons, Capt. hInekley,
consigned to Brigham, Baldwin Co, and Loading
for Liverpool.
Bark Adjusta 495 tons, Capt Enell, consigned to
Muller & Michels, and loading for Queenstown and
market
loading with lumber for Sunderland.
These vessels are of sufficient value to make up a
good portion of the loss, and we presume the Gov
ernor will forthwith advertise them for sale at the
expiration of thirty days, unless the arms shall be
land down in Savannah in the meantime.-SdUaHIldh
