The Navy Department hns advices that
the Confcderates have lately purchase in
England two of the fastest steamers there
built under guarantees rs 10 speed, and
have pu. them in commission as priva'
teers, with a view to intercept and capture
our Panama steamers returning with Cali,

in the hands of foreign consult rs collar
cral security, is said to have achieved the
purchase As the hazard would be too
great for those vessels to strike for their

supposed to be the intention to have the
attempt at capture made soon rs may be
after our ships shall leave Panama, The
