ton OF the Vessels.
The correspondent Of the Philadelphia In
q1tsref, who Is On board the United States
steamer Roanoke, at present blockAding the
port Of Charleston, writes to the paper, under
the date Of October II, the day on which the
Nashville ran the blockade, and shows the po-
sidon Of the h1ockadfng vessels. at the time.
It appears somewhat singular that an escape
should be effected while there was apparently
such strict watch kept on the movements Of
vessels, and such feeling Of certainty that
all wss safe:
We left Hampton Roads September ss8, and
arrive here October /. Almost daily some
English or French men.of War pass along to
examine the condition Of the blockade. One
day last week shot was fired across the b:#
Of the English MN of-War Steady to bring her
to. II inaamed the commander rery much.
and he boldly and angrily asserted that the
matter would be reported to her Britannia Ma
jtBty.
