respondent of the N. O. Delta, writes to that paper the following letter: Havana, Sept. 18, 1861. Our communication is not quite as open and free as our hearts would desire; but such as it is through the mal-providence of Lincoln and his fraud dent blockade. I will endeavor to take full advantage. We have a midshipman of the Sumter here, who will get to his country and into active service again shortly.--Hicks, prize-master of the ship Jessie Maxwell, who was ordered "out of Cienfuegos within twenty-four hours, etc.," and who subsequently put his prize on shore to the westward of the port, and then claimed the right of shipwrecked persons for himself and crew, was allowed to come to Havana. The Consulate-General and the advisory corps of spies, which gathers there, do fill that comes within the reach of their power to obstruct the interests of the Confederate States of America; but fortunately their power is not in proportion to then intense malignity, and their action

Mr. Arnat, merchant of New Orleans, owner of the cargo, and others at present unknown. The British schooner Parliament, Gladding, master, is loading for Savannah — her cargo chiefly coffee; will take arms if they can be procured and put on board without passing through the Custom-House. She will have as passengers Mr. W. G. Foold and G. N. Thinigs, merchants of Savannah, and will be ready for sea on Tuesday evening, the 24th. She will clear for a port in the British Provinces, and may call at Nassau, where she touched on her way out from Savannah (reported to you,) to change her flag. I omitted to mention that W. A. Hicks, midshipman of the rebel steamer Sumter, went passenger by the Izilda. The statement of the loss of the Sumter, as reported North, near Port of Spain, Trinidad, is not credited here. The master of the Joseph Maxwell — a prize of the Sumter — put ashore by Hicks, arrived out in the steamship Matanzas, and left for Cienfuegos, to take possession of his vess

lowing is the report of Capt. Wilkes, assigning his reasons for the arrest of Messrs. Mason and Slidell: U. S. Steamer San Jacinto, At Sea, Nov. 16. Sir: --In my dispatch by Commander Taylor I confined myself to the reports of the movement of this ship, and the facts connected with the capture of Messrs. Mason, Slidell, Eustis, and Macfarland, as I intended to write you particularly relative to the reasons which induced my action in making these prisoners. When I heard at Cienfuegos, on the south side of Cuba, of these Commissioners having landed on the Island of Cuba, and that they were at Havana, and would depart in the English steamer of the 7th of November, I determined to intercept them, and carefully examined all the authorities on international law to which I had access, viz: Kent Wheaton, Vattel, besides various decisions of Sir William Scott, and other judges of the Admiralty Court of Great Britain, which bore upon the rights of neutrals and their responsibil

would be glad to pursue if the thing were possible for obvious reasons. But if the nations of the earth put it out of our power to pursue this course, is it generous to find fault with us because we do not pursue it? To show you the earnests desire which I had in the beginning of my cruiser to send my prizes in for adjudication rather than take the responsibility of sitting in judgment on them myself I send you enclosed a copy of a letter which I addressed to the Governor of the town of Cienfuegos, in the Island of Cuba, as early as the 6th of July last. This letter will explain itself, and I have only to remark with reference to it, that I had not at its date seen the Spanish proclamation. I rely upon your sense of justice to give place in your columns both to this communication and the letter. R. Semmes, Commander. Confederate States Navy. C. S. Steamer Sumter.
