pondence says;
Notwithstanding the report some time since
that the "Alabama" so worn odt that she
would have to be abandoned and never go on
the ocean, she made her trip from the East to
Cherbourg in so short a time that she was
thought to be the "Florida," " and was so tele-
graphed on her arrival Capt. Winslow, of the
Kearsage then in Holland, was Immediately
sent for, and by protest from Minister Dayton.
the French authotites were obliged to order the
"Alabama" out of port Semmes put the best
face on the matter possible, though he evidently
did not like to face a war ship; The fight was
so short and decisive that one would have
thought that the alabama" had changed places
with one of her captured merchantmen When
the "Alabama" became disabled in her machin-
cry, the "Kearsage ran close to her and poured
in destructive brOadside, which tore away q
whole section of the "Albamas'1 side letting
the water through in torrents. The ALBANIA"
then turned and made for shore, and Capt. Win
slow hoisted the flag of victory and pursued,
when finding the Alabama" sinking he lowered
his boats and picked up her crew. Minister
Dayton is informed Capt. Winslow that the pris-
oners could not be paroled, but might be trans
fered to the est. Louis" when she arrived, and
conveyed to the United States.
Capt. Winslow claims Semmes and Others ta-
ken to Southampton as prisoners. He had am
pie means to pick them up, but the English
yacht actually stole them as if by pre-arranqed
Plan-thus constituting clear case of interyen-
ton.

18th OF August he will embark the ''New AL
ALBANIA, which will be completed that day
Rumor points out to the steamer "Rappahan-
