steamer Of 6le tons burthen and built for. and
engaged in, the revenue service as a cutter,
under the command Of Captain John Faunce.
She was detailed in 1858 from that service,

under the same commander. During the visit Of
the Prince q Wales to this country she was used
for the purpose Of carrying the royal visitor from
Washington TO Mount Vernon, and from this city
up the Hudson TO West Point. When the rebellion
broke out she transferred to the United States
Navy, and formed during its early stages, part
Of the Potomac hotilla. She was afterwards at.
,ached to the West Gulf blockading squadron,
from which she was detached for the Galveston
expedition, in the capture Of which place she

GREAT 1NDlGS ALTON MANIFESTED, ETC.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ii, 1858.
A gre at deal Of Indignation has been elected by
the intelligence Of the surrender Of Galveston and
its garrison, and the capture by the rebels Of tie
Harriet Lane.
Various rumors are in circulation in regard to
this transaction; but nothing is positively known
to the government, except through the Richmond
papers Of yesterday, which published the Official
report OF the rebel commander AZ Galveston.
II is believed here that the scheme to cut out
the Harriet Lane and the wea1eld was devised at
Richmond, in imitation Of like exploits against
British vessels in our early history. II Ia supposed
that the officers and crews, sent from Richmond
were ready, and that tho Harriet Lane IA already
after our cruisers in the Gulf. She is swift and
strongly armed.
