uracoa we heard that the Sumter had been at Trinidad, and had left there steering west. We left Curacoa on the 2d September, steering northeast, and arrived in St. Thomas on the 5th of the same month, chasing and boarding vessels on the way, by which we found that the Sumter had not been heard of for some time on the Spanish Main.

On the day following, in the midst of coaling, a mail steamer arrived, bringing information that the Sumter had juswant of signals from the shore to give us notice of her departure. I am also in want of coal, and shall send over to St. Thomas to-morrow for a supply, as well as provisions, stores, &c., for when I left I did not bargain for this blockade. Ther.
