Portland, April 70.
The steamship Jura from Liverpool on
the 9th via Londonderry on the 10th inst,
arrived here at 1l.20 this forenoon. Her
dates are one day later than those by the
City of Baltimore.
The political news by the Jura is unim-
nortaant.
The Polish Instruction was still spread
ing.
The London Globe, in referring to the
seizure of the gunboat Alexandra, at
Liverpool. on suspicion of being intended
for the Confederates, admits that cirennl-
stances justified the prellminaries, but
from what it hears it doubts whether the
matter can be carried any further. The
vessel was in very unfinished state, and
it is stated there was nothing in her to IN
dictate what her service was to be.
The United States Consul at Dublin
contradicts the rumors with respect to the
| enlistment of Irishmen in Ireland for the
Federal army.
The Manchester Guardian has the fol-
lowing:
IA short time since, four men who were
| Quartermasters on board the Great East
ern, and who had been gunners IN the
British Navy, left the big ship and joined
the vessel known as the Japan, which was
fitting out at Greenock for China and 9th
er eastern ports. More recently these
uuartermasters came to Liverpool and
shipped about one hundred men. One Of
the men got intoxicated, and having learn
ed some secrets from an indiscreet quar-
termaster, they paid visit to Mr.. Dudley
the American consul who told them that
they had been shipped for service on boarf
the Japan, vessel fitted out to burn, sink
| and DESTROY Federal vessels. Mr.. bud
lev at once telegraphed to Mr. Adams, tht
| American Ministerial London, who prompt
ly called upon Earl Russell; and the latter
telegraphed to the Collector Of Custom:
at Liverpool to stop the Japan. The col
lector at once looked in the bill of entry
but nothing could be seen of the Japar
there. The collector, thinking that SHE
might soon enter the river, ordered thret
revenue gigs to cruise up and down ant
stop her as soon as she made her appear.
ance. No Japan, however, turned up,and
the collector telegraphed to Earl Russell
that he had been misin formed.
On further investigation, it was found
that Mr.. Dudley had forgotten to state
that the Japan was at Greenock How
ever, when this became known, The orders
of the Government were Immediately tel
egraphed to Greenock, but the japan, re-
named the Virginia, had then sailed for an
| unknown destination"

Advices from Port ROYAL state that a
movement is making for the removal of
Admiral Dupont, and Gen. Seymour has
urged it upon the government. The feel
ing among the land forces is said to be
very strong against Dupont, and the con-
fidence of seamen is shaken.
Gen. Seymour's mission was also to
urge the reinforcement of General Hun
ter. 1t is understood that the troops be-
longing to Gen. Fosters department will
be returned there.
a rumor says the order for the attack
on Charleston was countermanded from
Washington, and the eountermand did not
reach Admiral Dupont until too late to
prevent the assault, and that it was partly
in obedience to this last order that the as
sault was not renewed
The reports that the monitors are TO go
to New Orleans is not credited in well IN
formed circles.
There is good reason to believe that
Gen. Hunter has not relinQuished the idea
of early offensive movements against
Charleston.
The monitors could be made ready IN
two or three hours and as efficient as be-
fore the late engagement
1t is the opinion of Capt. Worden, but
the post is not authorized TO state it, that
the monitor fleet is able to batter down
Sumter. and this in opinion nearly all the
officers concurred.
1t is believed also that the distractions
might be passed, though at risk. The
monitors might not be able to return.
