THE TuscARoRA AND THE NAsHyILLR-The
Barnstable (Massachusetts) Patriot publishes a
letter from the acting master Of the United States
steamship Tuscarora, dated Isle Of Wight Feb.
4. The writer says when the Nashville went to
sea, her rebel nag Aging from her mizzen, the
British frigate shannon, having up steam, got
under way, and commenced dropping down with
the tide, keeping between the Tuscafora and the
Nashville-thus, In fact, conveying and protect
ing the pirate to sea. Seeing, however that the
Tuscarora did not attempt to violate the Admi-
ralty order by getting under way to chase the
Nashville, she returned, and came TO anchor
again near the Tuscarora. The writer says:
You may imagine, but cannot describe, the
excitement this affair created on board our ship
Curses loud and deep on the British government
were freely uttered, and to an extent that called
forth reproof from our executive oficer in more
than one instance, although he, have no doubt,
felt the stab thus indicted on our cause more
keenly than many Of us. I have reason to be-
levs that IL the captain had given orders TO slip
our chain and give chase to the Nashville evsry
man would have been ready; and II the Shannon
had tried to stop Us, they would have fought her
ss long as q plank Of the Tuscsrora was left to
fight upon. But, as IL 10, the Nashville has es-
capped M this time; but am mistaken in our cap
tain IL we ever meet her or the Sumter again In
they escape, no matter where they are found. We
have coaled ship to-day, and shall sail In the
morning. Destination unknown, but probably
the Mediterranean. I have heard TO day that
there 10 another American ship of.war In the
English channelj IL %, she may meet the Nash
Vile before she leaves this coast {"
