THE NEW YORK HERALD. WHOLE NO. 17956. MORNING EDITION—TUESDAY, Arrival ef the British Steam Yacht Syren from Bermada. A Special Mossenger from the British Admiral to Lord Napier, ‘Fhe Visits of the Cruisers to our Vessels to be Stopped. Arrival of the Water Witch and Fulton at Havana. Interviews Between Commander Rodgers of the Water Witch and the British and Spanish Autherities, ae, dite "She Britich steam yacht Syren, Capt. Smith, arrived a, {is port yesterday, from Hamiiton, Bermuda, whence she failed at seven o’clock on the evening of the %h instant Bhe was bearded last night by one of our reporters, who e@btained from her courteous commander the following formation relative to the recent British outrages. ‘The Syren brought as passenger Lieutenant Richardson, of the Royal Navy, bearer of despatches from tho British Admiral at Bermuda, Sir Houston stewart, toLord Napier, Geutenant Richardson left by the six e’clock train last evening for Washington. ‘The exact purport of the despatches brought by the Byren could not, of course, be ascertained ; but from ‘what infermation her officers had learned at Bermuda was pretty certain that they would prove to be of a "atiefactory character to our government. Sir Houston Btowart bad expressed his disapprobation of the extent ‘0 which the boarding of American vessels had been car- wied by the officers attached to his squadron in the Gulf. Ro special orders for the searching of ali vessels found in the latitudes indicated had been issued. The instructions extended no farther than the overhauling of vessels of 80 ‘Wery suspicious a character as to warrant it. ‘Mke intelligence of the outrages on American com” meree by British cruisers, and their effect upon the government and minds of the American people, was @arried eut to Bermuda by the bark Eliza Barss from fis port, and had produced considerable excitement. ‘Zhe Admiral, it appears, had not anticipated the news ¢f the offensive visitations, and at once took peremptory and efficient measures to have them checked. ‘We learn farther, from ® source entitled to implicit exedit, that the despatches brought by Lieut. Richardson (@emtain the assurance that every step has been taken by Admiral Stewart to prevent any recurrence of the visits amd searches which have been so offensive to the American public. That the particular acts in ques- em are condemned, or that they are ascribed to exces. stve zeal and energy in the prosecution of the search for aves, we are not well assured; but it is regarded as pro- able that the Admiral will palliate the concuct of his subordinates on the iatier ground. From the thorough measures taken by the Admiral—re- ported in detail to Lord Napier by the despatches in eharge of Lieutenant Richardson—there will be no reason fe fear a renewal of the obnoxious practices on the part of Ge British gunboat commanders. 5 Admiral Stewar! deprecates the idea of a collision be. fOween the two nations as & calamity to be dreaded, and ‘will omit no effort in his power to illustrate the sincerity of his friendly expressions. ‘The Byren brought no newspapers from Bermuda, her metiee to sail for New York having been so brief as to pre- @ode all Uoughts from tne minds of her officers but the ‘Reeossery preparations for the voyage. Some symptoms of mutiny had been exhibited by the @envicts on the island, relative to recent measures with ‘Regard to what are called the “ticket of leave men,” but fey had been promptly suppressed. ‘The Byren left at Bermada H. B. M. ship Indus, the flag abip of Admiral Btewart. The ship of war Devastation ‘was hourly expected, and upon her arrival the Indus ‘Would sail for the Gulf of Mexico. The bark Elica Baras ‘would also sail in a few days for New York. INTERESTING FROM CUBA. Arsival ef the Water ween and Falten at Havana. OUR HAVANA CORRESPONDENCE.

I have obtainedfrom a friend at Sagua Is Grande infor- mation of various searches by British cruisers of vessels ‘under the United States flag, and in waters under Spanish Jurisdiction, given in the words, verbatim, of the deposi- tions furnished by the deponents themselves, as related im the office of the Consular Agent of the United States at ‘Sague la Grande. Although some of the cases have been reported to the prees by thé captains of vessels or their friends, I find @i@erences, which are easily corrected under the simple statement of facts sworn to before a competent officer of fhetr government. [Our correspondent hero furrishes statements from the eaptaing of the bark W. H. Chandler, brig ©. F. O’Brien, ship Clarendon, bark John Howe, brig 8. Thurston, and Brig A. A. Chapman, which agree in import with those miready published in the Henan, taken from oilicial docu- ‘ments in the office of the Secretary of State.) He then writes -— Ta the case of the ship (iarendon it is worthy of note fat the wife of Captain Bartlett, being on board, was not mmindful of occurrences which seemed threatening the sgasety of ber husband. Anticipating the crisis and the final purpose of her husband, jast previous to the order of the ‘Maglieh commander for his guard to come on board, the high spirited and proud liitle wife of the gallant captain of fhe Ciarendon slipped into the cabin and took from a Docker a brace of revolvers, bringing them quietly to bor Imaaband, who placed them about his person convenient for action; and when the trial order was given, and Oap- fain Bartlott had responded, perceiving that the cem- mander was a little flustered, on finding himself check. ‘mated in the boarding scene, the lady gently approached Aim, saying, ‘‘Don’t be afraid, captain; if you behave like ‘® gentleman we won't burt you.” Thear from Gagua that the officers of six veasels betong- ing to the United Btates, boarded by boats from the same ‘British cruer—the Buzzard—did not appear at the Con- @ular Agency to protest and give their affidavite, as they ‘bad proposed doing when they verbally communicated the violation of their rights and fiag excusing themecives ja away not the most creditable—‘that their govern- meant would not pay attention to the subject,” that ‘‘Eng- land would disavow the acts of her officers’’—to repeat the same on the first occasion—‘‘wherefore it would be a ‘Waste of their time;’’ that “their business required thoir constant atteution’’ that ‘‘the distance was too great to the fice of the Consulate; while absent their vessels might bo seined and towed to sea,’ ko., &o. Th ie to bo regretted that Capt. Dunievy, of the ship Grotto, conid not have found Ume for this important duty, me his cave was almost oqual in character and interest to ‘hat of the Clarendon. Captain Fess, of the American ship Reliance, in this port (Havana), deposed on 29th of May, in the oflice of the du. That on the 24th of May his yoasel, the Reliance, was boarded by ® boat from a lead colored British man-of-war steamer, baying an officer in undress uniform and ten or fwelve armed men. After I had shown my colors the steamer fired a blank shot, and I hove to, After the boat was alongside the officer came over the side and asked me where from, name of the vessel, where bound and what Joaded with, and stated tom: he had orders to board all vonsele he fell in with; after which he left, My vessel, when boarded, was between Salt Key bank and the coast of Cuba, and the Iattor in sight. The captain, in-addition, imforma mo “that the boarding officer asked for his ob- ‘pervation at meridian and jongitnde—the coast of Ouba {n. wight and tbe position of beth vessels abaolute—without Beecesaity of question or calealatios,, from well established Jamd tablature and mazks:”’ that the effioer while un board ‘was complacent, with a litle close, surly etvility. Additions) information given me personally by Caplan Laerent, of the brig A. A. Chapman, of gavoonade on the partef the British boarding officer and responding badi- ‘sage not over polite or complimentary, not being material to the issue and purely persona in character, I leave owt frem my report, giving only the facts as sworn to. Mf every vessel boarded er stopped at sea had been conmanded by « Bartlett, or had the same firm discretion im contrel, the trouble would have been settled by this time; or, at least, the evil complained of would have be @eme moch less offensive, no matter what the instruc. tions upon which this “right of search” is based, or from what source derived. The consistency of the declara tions from all the officers of the various cruisers made ‘when explanation was asked for their stoppage and deten- tion of vessels of the United States, ghow couclasively that they were acting under an ‘‘oflicial circular” from undoubted aad elevated authority. One other vessel has arrived at this port in the last day @r two which was boarded this side of the Banks; but the captain declines taking the trouble to report at the United Btates and does notwish to have it advised ‘owing to the 'y of birth and carly associations. Th case is of like character with others, but perhaps with Jess offenstveness, after learning something of the history ef the master and under the genial influence of a glass of non-commital. The British war steamer Devastation, Commander Walker, arrived on the 3d inst., seven days from Bermu- da, bringing despatches from the Admiral of the Sritiah ‘West India Squadron. We have many rumors as to the na- tureof mission, bi | presume the British Consul General has not communicated any information he may have re- ceived. From the conversation of the Commander I should infer that the belligereut or piratical conduct of the comman- ders of the Styz and Buszard was not approved, and that the back down was alrealy commenced. If there was any right to justify what has been dome in the stoppage of over one hundred and twenty vessels belonging to the United States, the right should be pursued regardless of conse: . ‘The United States war steamer Water Witch, Commend- er Rodgers, arrived in this port at half-past eight o’elock morning of the 5th; at the same time another United States war steamer was signalled to the eastward (the Fulton, Commander Almy), causing considerable excitement in the city. A boat the Fulton, with the Commander, came into port avout one P. M., to hold a consultation at ‘States Consulate. Rodgers, at twelve M., ealled on the Osp- hed Bag. Acting “Glad to see you, it voy- ke, may be conveyed— Moat happy thal the Unifed Staics have sent some of their countrymen under obse! greatly misused for the purpose of covering the slave trade.

He left behind all his artillery, ma- nitions of war, baggage, private papers, and the combus- ible material prepared with the mmiable intention of de- stroyizx this devoted city, all of which fell into the hands of the government forces. In short, Mr. Garza left every- thing behind him, even the other officers, his competitors im the race.

As more or less doubt surrounds the true position of fo- reigners in this country, we extract from tho treaty of commerce, actually existing between this country and Great Britain, the following article which is pertinent on the question of contributions. It is unnecessary for us to say that all foreigners enjoy the same privileges. Tho tenth article of the treaty between Great Britain and Mexi- co is as follows:— Art. 10.
