Mr. Van Buren, continued his remarks on this point at
considerable length, and then turned his attention to
Gen. wadsworth, the Republican candidate for Gov.
ernor, promising to examine his character fully In a
speech at Rochester, three days from that time. 10
closing his remarks, Mr.. Van Buren, said:
This war, he continued, mast be proee,uted with

The following account Of the burning Of tbs English
merchant ship Blanche, 10 Spanish waters, 10 copied nom
the New York Herald Of the 2si.
We learn from letters from Havana certain fsots, the
details of Which, Il confirmed, are calculated 70 involve

or three other men vent on board the Blanche, when he
hoisted the Spanish flg as 4 siyu that she was under the
protection OF the Staaish Government. Al the same
time Captain Hunter, Of the Montgomery, ordered Two
boats, With armed mep, 10 80 on board the Blanche,
aud 10 take forcits pc sas.ion Of the vssseL
Once on board, the officer in command tx blamed to
Captain Smith and he Alcslde what his miss on was, and
toli them that he bad received orders 10 carry the

When the Spanish Government at Havana received
the news of this outrage, committed 10 Spanish waters
By an American vessel, orders were given TO Q Spanish
frigSte TO sail forth with and 10 capture tho perpetrator
OF the deed. But the Montgomery had disappeared,
ard at The latest dste no trace Of her hal yet b,en dis
covered. At the same time dispatches were sent to
Mr.. TasaGra, tho Snsnish Minister at Washington, giving
the details of the tr ,r, Which, by this tine, must have
been submitted 70 Mr.. Seward.

tered that port en- the lob, The probabilities are that
the Montgomery, and not the DAcotah, is the yes ell i'm.
