That evening, (aided by my fellow traveler, Mr. Henry Tupper, Vice Consul of France in Guernsey, and one of the jurats of that Island,) I found some of the officers of the Florida at the Hotel de Nantes (rue d'aiguillon.) Lieut. Lingard Hoole (a young man, who apparently did not number more than three and twenty years,) received us courteously, and gave us his card to assure us admission on board.

my. Oh, yes, we've served them out beautifully." In reply to some questions as to the method of capture the captain said, "We only make war with the United States Government, and we respect little property.--We treat prisoners of war with the greatest respect. Most of those whom we have captured have spoken well of us. To be sure we have met with some ungrateful rascals, but you meet with these all the world over. The last prize we took was the Anglo Saxon, which we took in the English Channel, about sixty miles from Cork. She had coal on board, and we burnt her. The pilot was a saucy fellow, and maintained that he was on his piloting ground. He insisted on being landed in an English port, but we could not do that. I brought him and twenty-four men here to Brest, and sent them to the English Consul. If the pilot has any just claim upon us it will be settled by the Confederate Government. That's not my business. My business is to take care of the ship." When the Flo

Before entering the port of Brest she had not been more than twenty-four hours in any one port, although she visited Nassau, Bermuda, Pernambuco, and Sterra (Brazil.)--"Yes, indeed, sir," said the Captain, "two hundred and forty five days upon solid junk, without repairs or provisions." During all this time they had only lost fifteen men, including those who were killed and wounded at Mupplied with everything she may require except munitions of war. In the course of conversation Capt. Maffit gave me an account of what he called "the outfits" of the Florida. These have been three in number. The Clarence was captured off Pernambuco on the 5th of May, and Lt. Reed was put on board with twenty men and one gun. These were afterwards changed to the Tacony, a better vessel, which was captured shortly after, and (to borrow Captain Maffit's expression) "she captured right and le

aymaster's duty; but he's not yet quite up to the work." Capt. Maffit forthwith began an animated recital of his careeer and adventures. He is forty-two years old, and is the oldest officer on board. All the officers were born in the Confederate States, and most of them were officers in the United States Navy before the outbreak of the war. The oldest of the officers is not more than twenty-three. The men are more mixed. There are one hundred able seamen on board the Florida, and about the civil war in America is founded upon the slave question, that the commander of this important Confederate cruiser should be the very man who has distinguished himself actively against the slave trade. In 1859 Captain Maffit commanded the United States steamer Crusader, and captured four slavers. The Captain had a great deal to say about his successful feat at Mobile. In his opinion it has been the greatest naval feat of modern times. He dwelt long and warmly upon the incidents of th

ft." Finally, she took the revenue cutter off Port and harbor. The other "fit out"was the Lapwing, on board of which Lieut. Avrett was put to cruise on the Equator. He made several captures and has now returned to his ship. Captain Maffit showed us over his ship, which was in pretty good order, considering the eight months almost uninterrupted cruise, and he presented us both with a photographic picture of her which was taken at Bermuda. The Florida mounts only eight guns--six forty-eight pounders of the Blakeley pattern, made at Low Moor, and stern and bow chasers. On taking our seats I asked Captain Maffit whether he expected to be interrupted on leaving Brest, pointing at the same time to the Goulet — the narrow passage which affords the only ingress and egress to and from the Rade. "Well," replied he, "I expect there will be seven or eight of them out there before long; but I'm not afraid. I've run eight blockades already, and it'll go hard, but I'll run the ninth."
