with a severe north-wester, arrived at Sandy Hook, N. Y., about 7:30 P. M. on the 18th. On entering the Narrows, we were boarded by a steam-tug, with Marshal Murray and Deputy-Marshal Sanford on board. They delivered to Capt. Wilkes despatches from the Secretary of the Navy, Gideon Welles, and Secretary of State, William H. Seward. As soon as Capt. Wilkes read these despatches, he turned the ship's head to Boston, where Marshal Murray was ordered to deliver the illustrious prisoners at Fort Warren. The following is a list of the officers of the San Jacinto: Captain, Charles Wilkes; Lieutenant and Executive Officer, D. M. Fairfax; Lieutenants, R. R. Breese, James A. Greer, A. P.

to remove the luggage, and, the ladies having declined the hospitalities offered them, at half-past 3 o'clock we parted company from the Trent. During the time our officers were on board the Trent, the British passengers expressed their sympathies with the seceded States in the strongest possible manner, and our officers were much abused and threatened by the crowd; they were called pirates, robbers, and other opprobrious epithets, expressing great satisfaction at our loss at Bull Run and Leesburg. Our captain expressed much satisfaction at the gallant and efficient manner which Lieut. Fairfax, (a Virginian by birth,) and all the officers and crew under his command, displayed in the execution of this delicate and important duty, and called the particular attention of the Navy Department to it. After parting company with the Trent, we ran through the Santaren Passage, cruised to the northward along the shores of Florida and South Carolina as far as Charleston; our gallant captain, not

nd after answering all questions, he could get no other information in return but that they were on a cruise. Capt. Wilkes showed him a photograph of the Sumter, which he immediately recognized as the vessel by which he was boarded. Capt. Wilkes then advised Com. Palmer, of the Iroquois, to cruise immediately after her, the Iroquois being the fastest steamer of the three, and to follow her as far as Rio even, if necessary, at the same time the San Jacinto cruised in the West Indies and Caribbean Sea to overhaul the Sumter, in the event of her returning there. The Iroquois left St. Thomas on the 13th, and we on the 14th of October, in company with the Powhatan. Since leaving St. Thomas, we cruised in the vicinity of the Windward Islands, and visited Port Royal and Kingston, in the Island of Jamaica, the Grand Cayman, Trinidad, Cienfuegos, Key West, Lobos, Sagua la Grande and the Bahamas.

I do not know whether it has come before your notice at all; but what do you believe? How will you put trust in the veracity of such men who will write such things, when on the 16th of October I saw the San Jacinto off St. Thomas? I cannot remember now whether it was on the night of the 16th or on the morning of the 17th. I went on my way to Mexico, going to Havana, Vera Cruz, Tampico. On my return to Havana, on the 6th of November, I found that the San Jacinto had been to Havana from St. Thomas; that she had coaled there, and that two of her officers, passing themselves off as Southerners in their hearts, had lunched with Mr. Slidell and family, and extracted from them their intended movements.

After leaving Charleston Bay, we encountered strong head-winds, and our coal being exhausted, we put into Hampton Roads the next day, took in coal, and after battling forty hours with a severe north-wester, arrived at Sandy Hook, N.

We paid our passage money for the whole route from Havana to Southampton to the British consul aharacter they thought fit to assume. As respects the steamer in which they embarked, I ascertained in the Havana that she was a merchant vessel plying between Vera Cruz, the Havana, and St. Thomas, carrying the mail by contract. The agent of the vessel, the son of the British consul at Havana, was well aware of the character cinto off St. Thomas? I cannot remember now whether it was on the night of the 16th or on the morning of the 17th. I went on my way to Mexico, going to Havana, Vera Cruz, Tampico.
