~ The steamer Robert Watson, at Mobile,
from New Orleans, communicated the annexed inforna-
ton TO the AdDrtisar and Bsg5str
The Information We have been able to obtain from the
otncers Of the Watson, respecting the naval action OF
Iu-sdfy, IL not 50 satisfactory rs we could wish. The
affair took p sce about geyeuteen miles from WHERE she
lay, and rapid { ing was heard for some time tie
whole clnnOnade lasting from about twelve o'clock to
between three and four p n The officers Of the Wat
son were Informed at Biloxi that a gentleman at Missis.
sippi City, who watched the fight with a glass, saw the
New Dedd9n settling doUl at the time she ceased frfnr.
but they do not give all credruce to this report, as thew
do not thinN the depth OF wafer such that such an occur
renee could have been distinguished at that distance.
They heard nothing VI any Federal steamer coming to
her r-Eef. II Is, nevertheless, certain that careful examf-
nation, both from Biloxi and from The ighthousa al Deer
Island, has failed % discover any craft ike the New Lon
don in the feet since the action Int neither are her
masts or smoke stack visible at the spot where she is
supposed TO have sunk.
When the Watson arrived % Biloxi. there were some
thirty eight sal IL the fleet, al Of which, except seven,
afterwards left, supposed for Breton Island.
