The chase was a most exciting one, but unfor tunately without the result so much to be desired. It appears that the pirate Mutt came out of tho port of Mobile with as much impudence as bo entered it. The steamer seems to have %oeon well puaished with shot and shel! from the federal ebins, aud it 1s reported that she lost her first Vieutenant and sixteen men killed by ono shell from one of the men-of war. One of hor airsuera lost her foremast by a shot from tho Oreto, and consequently had to give up the chase. A {rieud of mine who has been on board the Florida in- forms me that tae crow are greatly in want of clothing, ‘but that they appeared content while in port, and only seemed anxious to coaT and get out to sea. She fs a fine propeller of 1,100 tona burthen, is bark rigged, having waking masts, a low, sharp bull, and two smokepipes fssuing out of her deck. Her hull was for- merly black, but has since been painted while, though the paint is wearing away gradually, im- parting a duty effect. She originally had a crew of 130 men, though the number may now bo something less. She is armed with two sixty-four- pounders, two pivot gons, two eleven-inch guns and two “thirty-two-pounders, rifled. It is also said that she has a gun that can throw a fifteen inch shell; but thia is not Positively known. She is very fast, and, itt said, can @astly make sixteen kaots an hour. From reliabis wformation, am enabled to state, or, rather, 1 am couyinced, that this vessel will sail for the Raat Indies in afew days.

What we need is a Bost of fast and powertul steamers in these wategs, if we would check the outrages of rebel pirates. Were it not for the connivance of the authorities of Ha- wana, there is scarcely a doubt but that the Oreto would have been captured. On the arrival of the rebel steamer our Consul took prompt measures to have o larger fleet Drougut oif the arbor, and it was confidently expected that we woul hive eaptured or sunk this rebol scourge. ‘Tho Florida has deatroyed corfiderable property, even while being chased by the federais, The captain and crew of the be olla hav ved here.

More recently the works of great juriscousalts, such as Groilus, Vuflendort, Vatel.and in our days Martens, Ortolan and Wheston, the intimacy between nations, the multiplicity of business relations and commerce, have produced the beneficial result that wars now-a-days do uot present the frightful characcer of other times, whon the backwordness of civilization and the darkness of ignorance might at least excuse their hor- rors ‘Thus we have seen with satisfaction, before and since the Ciimean war, the principal maritime Powers of Europe concert in establishing fixed principles in matters of payt gation and commerce, which sucild place out of all dan- ger. ouce and torever, the property of neutrals.
