LONDON, Sept. 1.-The Times this morn
ing publishes furthsr particulars of the ne
gotiations between British Vice Admiral
Yelverton and the Cartsgena insurgents in
regard to the removal of the Spanish iron
clsds Almanac and Vittoria. Upon a notice
from the Admiral Of his intention to take
the vessels, the insurgents answered that
the forts would open fire upon the British
squadron if tho attempt was made. This
was on Aug. 2S. The ram Numancia was
brought to anchor at the entrance of Exom-
brera bay, within the range of the. Lord
Warden, the British flagship and the two
vessels lay with their broadsides towards
each other. The Lord Warden carries 1S
guns aud is an iron-plated screw steamer
of 4,O80 tons. Tne Numancia is an iron
cad steamer and carries forty 6S Founders.
On the 29sh Vice Admiral Yelverbeu re-
piled that he would allow forty hours for
reconsideration, az the expiration of which
time be would take the vessels On the
Both Senior Aguilas communicated to Vice
Admiral YelVerton the hope OF the Junta
that the affair might be amicably settled.
No later intelligence has been received
from Carthagena but it is believed that the

compromise by which they should consent
to the removal ofthe Almanac and Vittoria
on condition that they would be held at
Gibraltar under guarantee iron the Brit
ish Commodore not to surrender them to
the Spanish authorities until the differences
between the Madrid government and the
Junta of Carthagena are settled. There is
little douht that the insurgents will attack
the British fee if they attempt to remove
the Spanish vessels without coming to
some agreement on subject.
