sraa srxrEa HEARD Faox.-The George.

InteIlipence has been received from Surinam today. to the effect that the Southern frigate Sumter was coaling there on Sunday last. The captain is represented there as being dashing, energetic man, and he declares his determine tion not to be taken. If he should be overpow- cred by vessel of superior force he will blow up his ship, so that he shall not fall into the hands of the enemy.
 \ nephew of Jefferson Davis, president of the Southern confederacy, is serving on board in the capacity of midshipman. Nothing, of course. known with respect to the direction which the Sumter will take on leaving Surinam, but it is hlghiy probable that she may cruise about this ne1ghborhood, with the view of capturing some ae the American vessels trading between this Pors and the Northern States.
