The Fenderal vessels were floating in and

be a dozen in the evening and all but two
disappear before merning.
The Norfolk Day Book of Thursday was
cogsiderably excited in relation to a rumor
that Norfolk is to be attacked.
It is suggested that additional obstructions
be placed in the entrance of the hsrbor, and,
if not done by the military authorities, argues
that the city council take it into their banda

SANDY Hook, Dec. IL.
Ia reply to the application Of Captain
Nelson for a warrant to search the Nash
vile, to recover certain property belonging
to him and the owners Of the ship Harvey
Birch, Earl Russell directed his Secretary
fs reply that he cannot authorize the ma
gistrates to issue such warrant, and de-
clined to interfere in the matter.
The application vas made on recommend
alton of Minister Adams.
The dispatches Of the Commissioners
escaped the vigilance Of the officers of tho
San JseintO, and safely arrived in the Ls
Plata in charge of a gentleman Of the
party.
On arrival ct Southampton, the remain
der Of Slidell's and Mason's families and
suite went on board the Nashville, and the
next day the dispatches we're taken to
LOUdon.
No repairs had yet been conn eneed on
the Nashville.
The London Times is more moderate in
its comments than the News. While deny
ing that the Federal Government on its
own position has right 10 overhaul neu.
trail ships, it nevertheless admits that
England herself has established pTece-
dents which now tell against her in this
matter Of the Trent, but those preoedents
were made under circumstances very diff
ferent il asserts from those which now oc-
cur. England was then fighting for exis-
tenee, and did in those days what she
wouldn't do now nor allow others TO do in
discussing the question whether Mason
and Slidell we're cOntrsbands on board the
Trent
The Times states as the opinion Of very
eminent jurists that this was not the ques-
tion to be adjudicated by the boats crew.
The legal course would have been TO bring
the ship itself into port for adjudication.
It concludes with the expression that Eng
liahmen will discuss the question with
calmness, and appeals to the Federalstates
not to provoke war by such acts.

FROM NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, Dec. l3.
The brig Thos. w. Rowland, Capt Row
land, from Rio Janeiro via st. Thomas,
Nov. 9th, arrived at this port last night.
Capt Rowland states that the captain of
the o. s. gun boat Iroquois is entirely TO
blame for the escape Of the Sumter. The
Captain of the gun boat sent q man on
shore at Port Royal with signal lights, and
gave him instructions to signalize to him
the movements Of the Sumter, and on the
night of the 2Sd of November signals were
,nade by the man on shore that she was
leaving the harbor, but no notice was taken
of it by the Captain Of the Iroquois.
His 1st Lieutenant tried to persuade him
to give chase, which they could easily have
done, as the Sumter drew one foot more
water than the Iroquois, but he would not
hear to it, saying that it would be very
unpleasant for him to capture her, as he
and Capt. Semmes had been schoolmates
and had sailed very much together, and
Capt. Semmes had been his superior officer
Anohtet reason that The Capt. of the Iro-
quois gave, was that he did, not wish to
break the neutrality laws. The movements
OF the Sumter were seen from the deck of the
-iroquois. These facts becoming known at
St. Thomas the greatest indignation prevailed
among the Americans in port and all others
friendly to the Q. S.
