CHASE OF THE SUMTER eY TIE laCSyDIS.
CAPTAIN PALMER'S OFFICIAL REPORT.
rHs SHAM NEUTRALITY or FakECE AND ENGLAND.

wAsHIsGroS Dec. Is, 1861.
The Navy Department has received dispatches
from Capt. Palmer, commanding the steamer
Iroquois, in which be infinitely relates his move
ments in order to capture the pirate Sumter.
The Government at Martinique, he says, refused
to give the Sumter Goals but allowed her to cone to
St. Pierre, where che obtained a supply from En-
gish merchants. The Sumter had been received
with courtesy at the seat of Government, and Capt
Palmer discovered, to use his own language, that
this farce Of non-recognition of the Confederate
flag by France and England is played OUT lie had
a correspondence with the Governor, the result OF
which was that he was referred to paragraph OF
Wbeaton's international law, to the effect that one
belligelent could not depart from port until twenty
four hours after another had left. The Sumter was
at that time in port and the Iroquois was obliged TO
anchor one marine league from shore.
The majority Of the people Of Port Royal were in
favor of the Sumter, and therefore anxious for her
escape Being French, they sympathized with
Louisiana, TO which State they thought the Sumter
belonged. Throughout his proceedings, Capt. Palmer
was apprehensiye and fearful that the Sumter would
escape him. and wished she were anywhere else than
under French protection, az the authorities were
throwing every obstacle in his way.
The Governor, however, repudiated everything
unlike friendliness in reply to Capt. Palners CON-
plant. Owing to the distance from the shore, which
the Iroquos was obliged to occupy, ard the fact that
the bay is H. miles wide, and for the reasons above
stated the Sumter succeeded in escaping. The lro-
Quois followed her, but found vessel visible on the
back ground of the sky.
