The steamer Persia, winch arrived Wednes-
day morning, brought important news of the
operations of the pirate steamers Alabama
and Georgia on the South African coast. 1t
appears, according to the representations OF
the American consul, that Capt. Semmes of
the Alabama captured the American ship Sea
Bride, as he came in, within gunshot of the
shore; and ventured still further, to carry
another prize into Table Bay, the chief portof
the Cape Colony The Conrad, a sailing
pryatcer, also put into Simon's Bay
about the same time, and, like the
other two, was received with great
honor The American consul protested
against the capture OF the Sea Bride, on the
ground that British waters extended to the
range of an Armstrong cannon shot from the
shore, and claimed the delivery of the Con-
rad to himself as the official agent of the
owners. He grounded his claim on the fact
that, being prize, and not having been con-
demned by a court of any recognized country.
her entrance into British port was a viola
ton of the queens proclamation, and that she
had therefore reverted to her real owners.
The governor decided adversely to both de-
mands, and against these decisions the consul
formally protested in the name of his govern
ment. He also complained that the original
cargo of the Conrad had been sold 10 the
merchants of Cape Tolon, and that the cargo
Of the Sea Bride lcould be disposed Of in the
same manner. This public and unblushing
violation of neutrality by an English colo
NAL Judge will of course be repudiated by his
superiors, and justice done to the American
merchants who have been wronged by
his decision. 1t is presumed That these
Rebel pirates are in the track of Cinnamon
and Indamen bound home, and no doubt
hope to reap a rich harvest. They are proba'
bly, bound east on cruise for this purpose,
but as the Vanderbilt is on their track, and
will probably put in at Cape Town and learn
their destination, some of them perhaps may
be overhauled.

COUNT ALFRED DE VIGNY.-The last for
eign arrival announced the death Of Count
Alfred De Vigny, at the age Of si1ty'tour
years He was at the height Of his fair repu-
tation nearly twenty years ago, when that
most eminent of modern writers, John Stuart
Mill, characterized him as zone of the earliest
in date, and one of the most genuine, true
hearted, and irreproachable In tendency and
spirit, of the new school OF French literature
termed the romantic" He first attained pop
ularity at an early age, from an historical ro-
nance, OF the school OF Sir Walter Scott,
entitled ''Cinq. Mars, or Conspiracy Under
Louis KILL" He published other works at a
subsequent period, written in a style singular
| ly chaste and pure, which gave his name a
| high and attractive place among the writers to
whose school he belonged. Twenty years
agp the care of an invalid wife, whose death
anticipated his but single year, withdrew
his attention from literature, and his name
from the arena of the generation now living
