Still another slaver seized — the largest cargo yet. Another slaver has been seized by our men of war on the African station. She is the brig Bonita, of New York; and was taken off the Congo River by the U. S. steam frigate San Jacinto, which vessel is now in commission about 17 days, having sailed from New York on the 26th of July, 1859. The San Jacinto left Kabenda, where she put in for water on the 6th of October, and on the 10th, at 8 A. M., saw a brigantine without colors, beating towards the north. Steam was immediately got up, extra sails put on, and a vigorous chase commenced. The stranger kept on her course gallantly, with all canvas loose. A gun from the frigate attracted the attention of those on board the Bonita, but was disregarded. A second shot, however, and the increasing speed of the pursuer induced the brig to heave to Lieut. Foster, U. S. N., Lieut. Brooms of the Marines, then put out for the brig and boarded her. Considerable evasion was used to shift th

Having disposed of the prize the San Jacinto stood to the south, and met the Constellation, the officers of each ship conveying to one another the intelligence that "a haul had been made." The parties on board the slaver made a desperate attempt to break the San Jacinto's propeller, by throwing over-board furniture and other materials likely to impede her progress; the cabin had been made destitute of "fittings" to accomplish this treacherous design. Plenty of rice and all sorts of provisions were on board. The Bonita is a splendid brigantine of about 212 tuns burden. Her ownership had not transpired. She cleared from New York on the 16th of July with papers for St. Thomas and a market, and took 47 days to go to the coast; and steering direct from the last named port to Punto de Lonha, where she got the blacks.

The captors of the prize were not a little astonished to find on board some of the crew of the Cora, who were put on shore at an isolated part of the Coast. The San Jacinto kept alongside the Bonita towing her all night; had the slave galleys set up, and next morning sent her to Monrovia to land the 713 slaves, who are to be taken charge of by the United States Government agent.
