The Daily Dispatch: December 21, 1861., [Electronic resource], Loss of a large Number of guns to the United States. (search)
Loss of a large Number of guns to the United States. --A Paris correspondent of the New York Times says: A sad accident has happened to a ship load of guns Colonel Schuyler had lately started to the United States. A cargo of thirteen thousand muskets were put on board the Bremen and New York steamer the other day at Bremen, and this steamer, on its way to Southampton, was disabled, and had to go into the port of Hull, England. The Government at Washington knew, of course, that the guns were on board the Bremen boat, and, since they were already behind time, were anxiously awaiting their arrival. Mr. Adams, therefore, asked of the English Government the right of transit, in sealed boxes, across the English territory, so as to arrive in time to take the City of Washington, at Liverpool. But the English Government refused not only the right of transit, but they refused also the privilege of landing the guns even for transshipment in an English port, and finally refused to

nd dignity that won her hosts of admirers. She is of medium height and fine form. Her eye is hazel, splendid and speaking. Her face is not what a sickly stripling fresh from college would call handsome, but it beams with gentleness, affection, intelligence and determination. Mrs. McClellan was modestly but richly attired. She retired with the General at an early hour. Secretaries Cameron, Smith, and Welles, and ladies, were present, also Assistant Secretaries Scott, of the War Department, and Seward, of the State Department, with their ladies. The great fact which marked the levee with some degree of importance, and which may hereafter be quoted as significant is, that the Ministers of England, France, Spain, and Prussia did not appear at the levee; but the Ministers of Russia, Sweden, Bremen, and Nicaragua were present, and the Russian Minister was especially cordial in his conversation with the President. The miscellaneous company was quite brilliant and anonymous.

The steamship America, of the Bremen line, brings European malls to the 6th July. The New York Times's Paris correspondent gives some speculations as to the probable future of Semmes, and the prospects of the rebel navy. Further honors had been bestowed on Capt Winslow at Paris. An Imperial Commission had visited the Kearsarge to inspect and report upon her armament. The official visit is said to have taken place on the 1st of July, and among the visitors, it is surmised, was the Emperor himself. The combat between the Kearsarge and Alabama, like that between the Monitor and Merrimac, is going to create in Europe a second revolution in naval warfare. An English report says Captain Semmes is to have the Rappahannock, which is undergoing repairs at Calais. The British news of interest centres chiefly in the debate on the vote of consure, which was still going on in the House of Commons when the America left. The chiefs of the Opposition, Mr. Disraell, Lord Robert C

Tuesday, 8th.--Spoke Bremen brig Santiago, and schooner, Fanny, of Nova Scotia. In the evening, overhauled brig H. F. Calthirst, of Turk's island, evidently a Yankee under British register.

Later from Europe. Foreign dates to the 22d ultimo have been received. The Pope had written a letter acknowledging the receipt of an address from the Commissioners of the Confederate States in Europe, and announcing his intention to urge peace at all times.
