Mr.. Lancaster's "Motives."

The owner of the yacht Deerhound ha
written to the London Daily Netcs to justii,
himself for running away with Captain Sen :
mes and others of the Alabama's crew, prisoI :
ers OF war to the Kiarsarge. He remarks
f that prisoner of war has a right to escape.
and this is true enough; but he implies that /,
neutral has right to help him-which is not
true. Tie neutral who does this exposes hin =
self to be treated as an enemy to be fired IN O
aud sunk killed. Captain Winslow did I
fire into the Deerhound, because, as be say
he did not suspect an English gentleman
disbonorabe intentions.
Mr.. Lancaster adds that had Captain VIII :
slow, when he asked him TO help pick up II {
drowning wretches, made the condition th'
he should send them TO the Kearsarge, IL
wpnld have let them drown. Here hi

that when the next lime this English 'ge

$40 ship engaged with enemy he viii
himself treated as spy and an enemy in DIS
guise.
Finally we come to the contemplate snetr
which Mr.. Lancaster utters againat the Al :

the American captain would have willingl

true, why did he ask EngIishman "hI

not, as he had right to do, drive this Englis

Mr.. Fessenden,s V;s;.

The new Secretary OF the Treasury, VIII
liam Pitt Fessenden, was in consultation the
greater part Of the day yesterday with our
leading iinanciers and capitalists. His object
in these interviews was not TO explain any
plan OF management that he had himself
adopted, bnt to gather from the experienced
men OF the metropolis their views of the best
metho1s Of proceeding. Mr.. Fesseuden is
clear-sighted and sagacious statesman, who
has his own convictions as TO the duties and
possibilities of his position, but he is also ac-
customed TO listen to the suggestions of other
well-iniormed minds, to weigh their compar-
alive Importance, and to adopt such practical
measures as the best opinions would seem to
warrant. In his interview yesterday with our
merchants we are pleased TO learn that every
thing passed off in the most amicable manner.
Mr.. Fessenden evincing disposition not to
Increase the stringency Of the money market,
aud the capitalists expressing an earnest wish
to assist the government by all the means in
their power.-lN. Y. Evening Post, 18th.
