The Grenada Appsal Of the 18th has arrived
in time. 1t contains nothing OF Importance,
excepting q letter from Captain Brown, late
commander Of the rebel ram Arkansas, to
Gen. Breckenridge, dated at some placa iu
Louisiana, stating that the cause OF the Arzan~
sas' failure to engage in the light at Baton
| Rouge WAS not that she Was run ashore, but
| that her engines gaye out and we're useless.
It ie mistake that the crew and officers
escaped. With the exception Of chief pilot
| and three 1ieutenants they were captured by
| the federal cavalry aad carried off.

| gagement, WAS among the prisoners, as Brown
