LibtkAIlON OF IIiE tkEW-IHE MIN PAID
OFF.
From the Liverpool Courier. November 8.
We are informed that the order for parole
was received by Captain Paynter. OF the Done
gal, early In the afternoon, Immediately after
IL was communicated 10 Captain Waddell.
Captain W addell then came ashore. and had
an interview with some Southern gentlemen.
after which he returned 10 his ship and paid
of and discharged the crew.
At seven o'clock the men left the Shenandoah
In the Rock Ferry Company's steamer Bee.
and at eight o'clock they We're landed upon
the Georges Landing stage. But few specta-
tors We're present To witness the arrival of the
crew so renowned for their exploits. owing
probably To the fact that their parole was not
known even 90 themselves until short time
before their landing. Each of them brought
ON shore large quantity of luggage. and they
appeared 10 have no lack OF mOney-flcts
which appeared 20 attest that their long cruise
has not been unrewardcd. The news of their
arrival soon spread. and crowds of persons
collecting on the stage formed themselves into
groups around the sailors aud endeavorcd TO
draw them into conversation.
These attempts, however, rarely succeeded,
and when they did, il was evident that the
men spoke rather TO avoid curiosity than 10
satisfy 10. The men. indeed, appeared to be
/ themselves quite i'm the dark - To their posi-
tion. and though under the impression that
they had done with the Shenandoah for good
and all, appear 10 labor under a fear of COM
mitting themselves or their officers by some
rash statement. Some of them eagerly ques-
toned the bystanders n to what the English
people thought of the Shenandoah and two
or three Of them expressed the greatest sur
prise that the officers Of that vessel should
even have been suspected of pursuing their
work Of destruction with a knowledge of the
termination Of the war.
The men. though exhibiting a marked re-
ucence on matters connected with the di>ci-
plinc of the ship, speak freely Of the eircum-
stances which led the shenandoah 10 termi-
nate her privatcering career. namely. the meet
ing with the ship BarracOuta, which the crew
are unanimous in alleging a the first source
through which reliable information was re-
ceiVed Of the termination Of the war.
Many of the crew Of the shenandoah are
Liverpool men, and these. Immediately on
being landed. drove of Co their homes. The
men declare that they are NJ perfect liberty To
do what they choose. and that their discharge
i unconditional. At all events, they have
been paid of in American dollars, and many
Of them will no doubt to-day be- on their way
10 other parts Of the country.
