d as equality and justice are of the essence of neutrality, I take it for granted that Venezuela will not adopt it. On the other hand, the rule admitting both parties alike, with their prizes, into your ports, until the Prize Courts of their respective countries can have time to adjudicate the cases as they arrive, would work equal and exact justice to both; and this is no more than the Confederate States demand. With reference to the present case, as the cargo consists chiefly of provisions, which are perishable, I would ask leave to sell them at public auction, for the benefit of whom it may concern; depositing the proceeds with a suitable prize agent, until the decision of the Court can be known.

The following letter from a passenger or sailor on the Sumter gives a sketch of her voyage and summary of its results: Porto Cabello, New Granada, July 26, 1861. dear Andy: After nearly one month's sailing around the West India Islands and the Spanish Main, we have at length arrived at this ancient dilapidated city. As you doubtless remember, the Sumter went into commission on June 5. Her trial trip took place on the 12th, and she left New Orleans on the 18th for the forts,

t the South was fighting the battle of Brazil, fighting to protect their property in slaves. Addresses were made by Capt. Semmes to the Governor and people of Maranham, in which he used the most specious arguments to prove that after the North hadommunities there are weak-minded people who cannot keep a secret intrusted to them; there were some such in Maranham. Capt. Semmes' particular friends let out many facts in relation to his movements which he would much rather have kept secret. We fprizes into that port and dispose of them, and there does not seem to exist much doubt on this subject; at all events, Capt. Semmes asserted such to be the case, and his friends and admirers repeated it to show in what high esteem the Sumter and her l their prizes have been restored to the owners thereof, bitter will be the disappointment and curses in consequence. Capt. Semmes is not yet aware that all his prizes have been recaptured, or, if he does know it, he does not let his crew into the s
