An English Merchant ship burned
4 by an American.

SIZE IS CHASED ISTo SPANISH wATERs-rHE
SPANISH ALoAIDE GROSSLY ISsULTED.
An occurrence has lately taken place in
the gulf which may lead to an information
al difficulty between the United States aud
Spain. Private correspondence from IIa-
vhna details the facts as follows:
On the sth of the present month the mer-
chant ship Blanche, Captain Smith, carry
ing the English flag, formerly engaged in
the trade between New Orleans and Cuba,
but sold since the war to an English house,
was coming from Matnmorasto Cuba, when
she stopped at q small port called Mulata
TO take in conl. She then sailed for Ha-
yana with n Spanish pilot on board. When
distance au American ship running to-
ward her with all speed The ship proved
TO be the gunbont Montgomery Captain
Hunter.
Unfortunately, the captain of the Blanche
became alarmed and instead OF waiting for
her, attempted to escape. The MOnigome
ry continued her pursuit, compelled her to
wear around and ran her ashore six miles
uorlh of Moro Castle. The sea Alcalde who
had watched her movements from the shore,
took boat, and With two or three other
men went on board the Blanche, 90 which
be hoisted the Spanish flag rs a sign that
she was under the protection of the Spau-
ish Government. At the game time Cap
tain Hunter of the Montgomery ordered two
boats with armed men TO go on board the
Blanche and to take forcible possession oil
the vessel.
Once on board the officer in command
Explained to Captain Smith and to the al.
calde what his mission WAS, and told them
that he had received orders to carry the
blanche away, if possible, if not, to set FIRE
to her and burn her cargo. Captain Smitl
and the Spanish official having protested
against such proceedings, quarrel en-.
sued, in which the officer of the Montgom.
cry slapped the Alcalde in the face, and
with the ard of his men. drove him ashore
together with tue three Spaniards who were
with him. After this, they came back, SCI
fire to the ship and carried away the OubaI
pilot who bad been taken By Captail
Smith at Mariana.
When the Spanish Governor at Hayant
received the account of the affair, orders
were given to Spanish Irigate to sail forth
with, andto capture the perpetrator of th,
deed But the Montgomery had disappear
ed, and at the latest date no trace of he
had beon discovered. At the same tim
dispatches were sent to SIR. Tenara, th
Spanish Minister at Washington, giVinS
the details of.the matter, which by thi
time, must have been submitted TO Mr.. Sc
ward.
The fact that the Blanche was carrying
the British flag may make England par
ty to the difficulty.

The continued silence in regard to the
movements of the army about Harper's
Ferry gives rise to a good deal of cOnjec.
ture. Some coustrue it to mean that a bat.
tie has been fought aud our army worsted,
others that Mcclellan is advancing aud the
rebels falling back; others again think
there is some change going on at Washing
ton By which the command of that army is
being transferred 10 other hands, and that
the delay is occasioned by the maturing of
new plauj Some OF the eastern papers
have been giving currency to story that
the army was waiting till certain PROPOSE
lions of peace said 10 have been made by
the rebel government should be duly con-
sidered at Washington; but this is explO-
ded by tho discovery that although such
documents were really in possession of the
War Department, they were a forgery, got
up doubtless to effect tho stock market, and
aid speculation.
Our owu conjecture IS that the silence
means simply that tue army of the Poto-
mac is getting ready to do something vig-
orous. ills reinforcing, CONCENTRATING,
organizing transportation, and getting
everything in readiuessto move, and very
likely making some movements and dispo-
sitions which are better kept within the
Limits of military circles than given to the
public.
We are led to believe SO partially from
movements in other quarters, evidently in

The collection of large bodies of troops al
points which it would not be proper to
name and their active preparations for NOV

asst golden days of oetoter have been
given to the past, such an array will be on
the victorious march to Richmond as will
drive everything before it and spend New
Years day in that rebel Capital.

The Army of the Potomac.
Demands for an Advance.
fcorrespOndsnee Of the New York POst.l
WASHINGTON. Oct. 20. Is6


WASHINGTON, Oct 20. 1852.
The anxiety fOv an advance of the army
from the Upper Potomac intensifies every
no1r as the winter approaches, aud in Off :
eial circles it is said to-day that if the
present commander of the troops near Har-
pers Ferry will not advance, u new COM
nander will speedily be appointed. An ed
itotial article in this mornings Baltimore
AHeTIeaH, attracts very general attention
here, and provokes comment. The Ameri-
can, as is well known, is very friendly to
General Mcclellan. It now demands that
his army shall move Onward. 1t says:
with the beautiful weather now pre-
yailiug IN this latitude, the hopes of the
nation are earnest that something will be
done to improve the chances thus given for
quick and long marches on the rebel terri
tory. Once let the fall rains set in, and
then the frosts and thaws of early winter,
and we may take oar leave Of oil exPecta-
ton that anything will be accomplished to-
wards ending the war speedily"
Aud again, with more pointedness
with our commander--so distinguished
by his good generalship on late occasions
lit seems to be the last good opportunity
likely to be conceded him 10 make name;
to settle those conflicting opinions his con-
duct has been SO fruitful in provoking
Triumphant in the coming fights; it will be
plain road he will travel in the future :;
and justifyiug the thousand savage critic
isms called fouth by the delays OF the Ar
my of the Potomac on former occasions,
the impotence of the nation will no longer
be controlled, and some one else, most
