Privateer Jeff. Davis-VIgOrOus
Measures for her Capture.
The ". p. Herald says


The old revenue cutter, Washington, seized
at New Orleans by the rebels last winter, has
turned up most unexpectedly in our midst
Under the name of JEFF. Davis, and command
ed by Postell, late of the United States
Navy, she has been playing pretty pranks
with our merchantmen. From our TELEGRAPH
lie dispatches il appears that this "bold pri-
vateer" has been cruising off The Virginia
capes during the past week. and that her cap
lures have been quite numerous. One ship,
two brings and two schooners are known to
have been seized, and the probability is that
several other merchantmen have fallen into
the clutches of the pirates.
Immediately upon the receipt of the news
relative to the seizure of the above mention
ed vessels, the government at Washington
ordered feet OF revenue cutters and gum
boats to be despatched from this port in
quest of the daring privateer. The command
of the feet was confided to Captain Howard
and the cutters jackson, Crawford and Vari-
ma went promptly to sea, in tow of the steam
boat Mercury. The Henrietta, Lieutenant ].
G. Bennett, Jr., now lying off the Battery,
will start in pursuit of the pirate to-day,
provided her guns arrive in time. The gun
boat Iroquois, one of the fastest in the navy,
will also start on the same errand to-day, so
we shall have five armed vessels i'm pursuit OF
the JEFF. Davis before many hours. The pro-
spect Of encountering and capturing the pi-
ratical craft is very encouraging.

Rebel Internal Machines.

WASHINGTON, July II. 1861.
The Freedom, gunboat, Lieut.. Lowery
commanding, arrived up from Aqua Creek,
at 62 A. III. to-day. She had been cruising
nights up and down. between that point and
the mouth of the river, preventing commnni-
cation between the lower part of Maryland
and Virginia. The service was active. ar
duous and dangerous. Sunday at noon the
Freeborn was at Aqua Creek, with the Reso-
lutte, Pawnee, Pocahontas, and two large oil
tanks were discovered floating down toward
the feet with ebb tide
When within a quarter of mile a small
boat was sent from the Pawnee to reconnoi-
ter them. The Resolute supported the small
boat Is was discovered that they were in
fernal machines. One struck the rudder of
the Resolu;e, and became detached from its
buyo and sank. The other careened over.
and the fuse was put out by dipping in the
water. The latter was hauled on board the
Pawnee. 1t had a cylinder made of boiler
iron, five feet long and eighteen inches in di-
ameter, filled with all sorts of destructive ell
ements, designed to blow the Potomac SQUAD
ron to atoms. The machine weighed about
400 pounds. Connecting the cylinder with
the cask or bnoy, which was fall of coil of
slow match, was an India rubber coated fuse.
The machine looks destructive.
The Freeborn brought IL up to the Navy
Yard, where it attracts great attention.
Thousands visited it.

Special Dispatch TO the Nashville Onion American
MANASSAS JUNCTION, July Is.
Cen REAUgEGARD achieved great victory
TODAY. At daybreak this morning the enemy
appeared in force at Bulls Run and attempt
ed to cross, when Gen. BEAUREGAKD opened
his batteries upon them.
The scene of the battle is three miles to
the left of the railroad and four miles North
west of Manassas junction.
Gen. BEAUREGARD commanded In person.
The commander of the Federal side Is IN
known.
The height of the battle was at four
o'clock in the afternoon, and ceased at five
O'Clock.
The enemy was repulsed three times with
considerable loss, and retreated in great con-
fusion. Our casualties are small.
The first and seventeenth Virginia regi-
ments took prominent part in the fight Col.
Moore was wounded. The Washington Ar
tillery OF New Orleans did great execution.
The fight extended along Bulls Run for
about a mile.
William Sangster, of the Alexandria Rifle
men, was killed. A Federal officer Of high
rank was killed. Nurse took seven hundred
dollaos in gold found his person. Capt.
Oulany, of the seventeenthVirginia regiment,
was wounded in the arm.
A shot passed through the kitchen house
where Gen. Beauregard was at dinner. 1t Is
supposed the enemy discovered bis where
abouts, and thus attempted to take his life.
The enemy fired into our hospitals, where a
yellow flag was flying to designate them. ID.

the servants here of the Administration have
taken a step forward, and now the trunks of
travellers are searched at the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad depot, and detained at the
will OF the deputies of Chase's subOrdinates.
Because goods of some description are sus-
pected to have been sent through to the Con-
federate States in trunks or carpet bags, Mr..
COTToN, himself petty officer of the ADMIN
istration, Deputies somebody else to exercise
such surveillance over the baggage of trav-
elers as he thinks proper. 1t is true there is
no law for this it is true that the apologists
for the administration can make no argument
in defense of this interference with gentle
mems baggage it is true, il is an exercise of
petty tyranny that has brought down on the

might expect rain all over the earth, at the

the case. OF this we are well satisfied from
long and close observation; and when we

rain at the full or change of the moon, we
conclude that they are building their faith
more on the ipsedizit of others, than on their

Important from England--Deelara-
ton of the English Governments n
80 the Legality of Blockades fu
Civil War.
From the CINCINNATI Enquirer of the Is.
The most important intelligence received
from Europe since the commencement of our
war, was brought by the Canada, and was to
be found in our. dispatches published yester-
day morning. The information to which we
allude, and which. we think is so imp 5rtant,
is in the following:
" In the House of Commons, Mr.. Berkeley
asked whether England recognizes the right
of New Granada to close or blockade certain
ports.
Lord John Russell replied that in case of
rebellion government had the right 20 close
its ports: but In case of civil war the ports
de faoto, occupied by insurgents, they could
not take that step, according to 1nternatlon-
al Law.
" The British naval commanders, therefore,
are not to recognize the closing of ports.
1t will be recollected that, in a debate
some, weeks ago In the house of lords, Lord
John Russell stated that he recognized the
condition of civil war as existing between
the seeded and loyal States of the United
States. He now says that, in case of re-
beilion, government has the right to close
It's ports. but in case of civil war-which he
says IL orr case-the ports de faeo occupied
BY insurgents-as, for instance, Charleston,
Mobile, New Orleans and Galveston--they
(the general or central grvernment) could
not take that step, according to information
al law. And the dispatch adds 60 The Brit
ish naval commanders, therefore, are not to
recognize the closing of ports"
"As the New Granada case is exactly par
allel with our own, and as our own govern
ment has, in this very New Granada case,
laid down the International law to be just
what Lord John Russell says it is we nav
reasonably conclude, as to what we may ex-
pect from the British government, when the
necessities of cotton manufactures will re-
quire the new cotton crop of the seeded
States. As the British Government has de-
clared, aad as the United States Government
has declared, that in case of civil war, which
is admitted on all hands to exist in this coun-
try, that port that is occupied de .facto 10y
the rebels, as, for instance, Charleston and
other ports, cannot, according to information
al law, be blOckaded by the general or central
Government against which the rebellion is,
the British Government will insist, when the
time comes, that it is not bound to respect
our blockade at such ports"
Such is the way, we are told, the Govern
ment of England intends to evade its neutral
ity, and force us to raise our blockade. We
do not believe it. We do not believe that
Government will act in any such way. Nor
are We satisfied that the cases are similar.
