The Daily Dispatch: October 6, 1863., [Electronic resource], A letter from Capt. Maffitt. (search)
A letter from Capt. Maffitt. Capt. Maffitt, of the Florida, at Brest, writes a letter to La Patrie, (Paris,) explaining the position of his ship according to international law. He says: Brest, Sept. 12, 1863. Sir: Your number of the 10th inst. contains two errors, which I beg permission to rectify. It states: "Two incidents have just taken place in France and England which interest the American question. The first is the seizure at Brest, by a French ship-owner, of the Confederate privateer Florida, who claims from her an indemnity of 100,000 francs for the loss of a vessel belonging to him, and which was sunk by the said privateer." On this first point I have the honor to assure you that, in spite of the thrusts of certain persons who pretend to have claims against the corvette Florida, she has not been yet seized. I protest in the most formal and energetic manner against the second allegation, the Florida has never had any reason for sinking a French vessel
