uarters twice while in port, as a general drill, and the ship was put in a order. About nine o'clock on the morning of Sunday we weighed anchor and stood outside. After getting clear of the break water we cast loose our starboard battery and ran out the guns loaded for action. The order was then passed for all hands to lay aft. Captain Semmes handed the clerk a written paper, which was read us. The substance of it was that we were going into action; that we were to fight in the English Channel, the seal of so many important naval engagements, and recalled the acts we had already performed; said the eyes of all Europe were upon us, and that he expected every man to do his duty. The men were enthusiastic, and cheered considerably. The men had no idea but that they would gain the victory, and an easy one. The crew fully expected Gom. the beginning that they would be led by Capt. Semmes close alongside the Kearsarge, so as to commence the action at close quarters and finish by

Arman, of this city, and which is supposed to belong to the Confederate Government, left the roadstead yesterday morning. She had made a trial trip on Monday last, and completed her preparations on the following day. The Yeddo measures 682 tons, and has a crew (entirely French) of sixty five men.--She is commanded by Captain Pater, who is a native of France also; and was for a long time master of vessels belonging to Bordeaux, she is freighted with different kinds of goods, and is dispatched by M. Arman himself through M. Cansee ship broker. The Yedde is bound for Amsterdam, but everything concerning her departure and the object and aim of her voyage remained a profound mystery. To the last moment the freighters, officers, and seamen maintained an absolute silence to all the questions put to them.

Winslow came forward among us and gave us dry clothing, and gave orders to treat us with every possible kindness. When we came to anchor we were called aft and paroled. We promised not to serve in any manner against the interest of the United States until honorably exchanged as prisoners of war. We then were sent on shore. We went to M. Bonafile, the Confederate agent, and he sent us to boarding houses. We saw Capt. Sinclair, a Confederate officer who had come from Paris, and who is acere in vain, they could not prevent him from engaging in an unequal combat." The Constitutionnel does not state from whom came these pressing entreaties, or who tried to prevent his fighting. It was in consequence of the remonstrances of the United States Minister that the Alabama was under the necessity of quitting Chesbourg, and once beyond the legal distance, she had no alternative but to fight, to surrender, or try to escape.

There has never been any regular payment before, and on an average from a hundred and fifty to two hundred dollars apiece were due them. They have had liberty two or three times since the Alabama first went out and on these occasions have received a little liberty money. Captain Semmes's official report to Mr. Mason. Southampton, June 21, 1864. Sir: I have the honor to inform you that in accordance with my intention, as previously announced to you, I steamed out of the harbor of Cherbourg between nine and ten o'clock on the morning of the 19th of June for the purpose of engaging the enemy's steamer Kearsarge, which had been lying off and on the port for several days previously. After clearing the harbor we descried the enemy, with his head off shore, at a distance of about seven miles. We were three quarte

After clearing the harbor we descried the enemy, with his head off shore, at a distance of about seven miles. We were three quarters of an hour in coming up with him. I had previously pivoted my guns to starboard, and mode all my preparations for engaging the enemy on that side. When within about a mile and a quarter of the enemy he suddenly wheeled, and bringing his head in shore, presented his starboard battery to m

A Cherbourg correspondent of the New York Herald, who has visited the hospitals and conversed with the Confederate and Federal wounded, sends that paper the following: Account of the fight from a Sailor on the Alabama. We came to Cherbourg from Cape Town to be paid off and for the purpose of making repairs. --The greater part of our copper was off the bottom. Our boilers were in a very leaky state. Our pay as able seamen was four pound ten a month, and we were paid off yesterday. We had received permission to go into the dock to repair, when we heard that the Kearsarge was outside. We came in here ship-rigged, and so disguised that had we met the Kearsarge outside we intended to take her by surprise. We fully expected having a fight w

Some twenty minutes after my furnace fires had been extinguished, and the ship being on the point of settling, every man, in obedience to a previous order which had been given the crew, jumped overboard, and endeavored to save himself. There was no appearance of any boat coming to me from the enemy after my ship went down Fortunately, however, the steam yacht Deerhound, owned by a gentleman of Lancashire, England, Mr. John Lancaster, who was himself on board, steamed up in the midst of my drowning men and rescued a number of both officers and men from the water. I was fortunate enough myself thus to escape to the shelter of the neutral flag, gather with about forty others, all told. About this time the Kearsarge sent one, and then, tardily, another boat. Accompanying you will find lists of the killed and wounded, and of those who were picked up by the Deerhound; the remainder, there
