Southern Transports OVerhauIed at PEN

MOBILE, May S.-The transports Dick Keys and
Henry Lewis left here yesterday for Pensacola
loaded with provisions. They arrived of Pensa-
cola bar about o'clock p NJ, where they were
stopped by the United States steamer Powhatan
boarded by the officers of that vessel and their pa
pers and cargo examined.
Commodore Porter then granted them permis-
sion TO proceed TO Pensacola, remarking that he
thought Bragg missed the use of boats for con-
veying his troops to Santa Rosa Island, and that
they would be badly whipped after Bragg got them
there.
While the Dick Keys and the Henry Lewis were
rounding TO and getting under weigh, the United
States sloop-Of-war Brooklyn came up and ordered
them to follow her to the frigate Sabine. Through
some misunderstanding the Dick Keys had got un-
der weigh for The bar, when the Powhatan ard the
Brooklyn both fired across her bow. She then roun-
ded to- when boats with armed men came alongside,
and were put aboard of her. The transports were
then compelled to lay under the guns of the Sabine
when Lieut.. Brown endorsed upon their papers a
warning not to attempt entrance of the harbor
as they would be seized, the officers and men sent
North as prisoners of war, and the boats sold as
prizes.
The Powhattan followed the Dick Keys and the
Henry Lewis On their return home, until they pass
ed the mouth OF the Perdido river.
They arrived here safe this evening.
