By tho arrival of the Brazilian bark Jabotas we have additional particulars in relation to the operations of the pirate Alabama, From the statement of the captain of the Kingiishor it would appear that the pirate Semmes is vory attentive to his prisoners, and the captain in his statement seems to regurd the corsairs as a party of very gonteo! cruisers. Statement of Captain Lambert, of the Kingfisher. ‘The whaling schooner Kingfisher, Captain Lambert, was cwtured and burned on March 23. The following is Cap- tain Lambert's ‘ card of thanks :"— The Kingfishor, on the 28d of March, when in latitude 1 20 north, longitude 26 20, was boarded and taken pos- session of by the steamer Alabama. I was ordered on board of ber, and was told by Captain Semmes that my vessel was a prize, &c. After taking out of my vessel such provisions as they desired, they set fre toher. I ‘was on board the Alabama twenty-three days, and must say that I was treated well. Captain Semmes gave me all my nautical instruments. With him I had but little con- vorsation; but be appeared like a perfect gentleman, and Dia language was such. Mr. Kell, the First Lieutenant, appeared the same. Dr Gault, the surgeon, seems rather reserved. All the others 1 had frequent discussions with on any topic 1 desired. Lieutenant Howell, of the marines, 1 think highly of; ana Mr. Armstrong, Second Lieutenant; Mr. Wilson, Third Lieutenant, and Mr. Lane, Fourth Lieutenant, all seemed ploasant men. Dr. Llewelyn, assistant surgeon, and Mr. ‘Sinolair, the master, are fine meo. Mr. Freemaa, first assiatact engineer; Mr. Brook, second assistant engineer; Mr. Commings, third assistant engineer; Mr. O’Brien, Courth assistant engineer, and Mr. Pundt, fifth assistant engineer, are all friendly, good feeling then. Mr. Smith, the Captain's clerk; Messrs. Babcock, Sinclair, Mat and Andersoo { sball always remember with gratitude for thoir kinduoas; they did me many little favors that were of great service to me. Mr. Alcott, sailmaker, and Mr. T. C. Cuddy, the guoner, arealso nico men. Mr. MeCarkey, the bostewain, and Mr. Robinon, carpenter, also treated me with kind- ness. 1 must not forget the svcerage steward; he did me maoy tavors. Mr. Evans and Mr. Fulam, master’s mates, and Mr. King, the master at-arms, are well appearing meu. Although Capt. Semmes burned my vessel and caused me great loss, yet I have no reason to call him s bad man or pronounce such epithets upon bim as many bave done. I can only speak for myself. THUMAS F. LAMBERT, Late commander of the sehoonerr Kingfisher, of Fair- baven, Mass. Statement of tain Grant, of the Ship Louisa Hatch. IT satied from Cardiff, Mareh 5, for Ceylon, East Indies, with a cargo of coal. Un the Sth of April, in latitude $30 south, longitude 26 26 weet, wae boarded by the Alabama, the crew taken off and the ship burned. My- voll and a part of my crew were landed at Peroambuco, the reat having joined the Alabame. ‘The Loulsa Hatch was seven years old, of 883 tons burihoo, and was owned by William McLoun, of Rock- land, Mame. (The particulars of the capture of this vessel have been published.) The Florida No.2 was formerly the bark Tacony, of Philadelphia, which bad been captured by the Coquette or Clarence. The captain says it bis intention to destroy all vessels and their cargoes, and especially those which are contraband of war, and he thinks be is perfectly justified tn doing so, inasmuch as the United States gov- ernment considers everything contraband of war going to or coming from any ports in the Confederate States of America. Ho gave no reason for releasing the Arabella. He re- ported destroying two other vessels on the morning of the 12th, and had sent their crews to Philadelphia. The Brig Arabella, of New York, tured. SHE 18 BONDED FOR $40,000. Tho brig Arabella, Captain Lindsley, from Aspinwall, in twenty four days, arrived at this port yesterday, On | che 12th inst., in latitude 38 40, longitude 74 30, she was | boarded and taken possession of by the rebel privateer Florida No, 2, but was afterwards released by signing @ ond for $40,000, payable after the conclusion of the war betwoon the United States and the rebel States. The brig Arabella, belon gin, Ha\lroad Company, loft Aspinwall on the 22d of iast | fonth, aud pursued ber voyage to New York without any bterruption whatever until she arrived injlongitude 74 30, @ 33 20, when she was overtaken by the bark Fio. vida No. wbich Captain Lindsley supposed to be at first + merchant trading vessel, as she was steoring in quite a (ferent direction when first seen, but soon afterwards vaonged her course in the way of the Arabella, } whieh was steering northward, On the 12th of the | prevent month she came in close quarters with the Ara- della, about seven e@’clock in the evening, and fired a | Diank cartridge to bring ber to, Captain Lindsley ob. | rving his dangerous position at once acceded to the de. | vnds of Captain Reed, of the rebel privateer, and when ‘ 1 )eaved to six mon were despatehed in a boat to | wr!

A(tr the Arabella had been boarded by six men from tue rebel vessel, Captain Lindsley, with his crow aod passeogors, was transferred to the Florida, where they were treaved kindly, It is supposed that this same privateer is the Tyconia, of Philadelphia, Captain Linda ley aud the Captain of the privateer entered into a con- | voraation which lasted for some time. The papers of the Arabolia were demanded and given, from which it was discovered that the cargo was almost exclusively neutral property, and this no doubt bad the effect of deterring Roed, of Florida No. 2, from carrying bis destructive (hreat into execution of burning the Arabella and her cargo. So determinedly waa the commander of the pri- vateor bent on burning the Arabelia, that he only gave | Captaim Lindsley and bis crew fifteen minutes to | leave the vessel, inside of which time they | were to remove their woartng apgarel and the | other necessaries which they required. The certificates in regard to the cargo being neutral property wore the silvation of Captain Lindsley and his crew. The bonds demauded by Captain Reed of the privateer wore not to be loss than forty thoutand dollars, and this «vas made payable after the conclusion of the war be. ween the United States and the rebel States This | \, bet commander of the privateer proudly boasted 1) bis conversation with Capt Lindsley that be had at | of the bark Tacony, brig Mary Alvin | Pady dostroyed several vessels and had s nt their crews | A.

Sho is plainly bark rigged and painted black, and will be easily known by having « black patch on her foretopsail. She has a crow of about twenty men, who appear to be civil and obliging, and do not relish much the dastardly trade they are at Present engaged in. ‘They spoke vory friendly to Captain Lindsley and his mon, and showed lively symptoms of friendsbip and good will. Otherwise they Qppeared downcast and (rotted looking, and were very much depressed in their appearance. Reed, of the pri- vateer, is « determined looking fellow, well fitted for the wicked course he is beat on pursuing. Haughty and overbearing in his manner, his trade appears to be that just suited to bis villanous exploite, and it is boped Detween Captain Lindsley and the rebel privateer, Capt. Lindsley and his crew and passengers, to their great grati- fication, were once more put on board their own ship, when they at once set sail for New York, and arrived in safety at pier No. 18, Bast river, yesterday moreing, where the cargo of the Arabella will be discharged forthwith, Statement of Captain Froheck. The following is the statement of Captain Frobook:—! commanded the brig Mary Alvina, which sailed from Boston on the 1st of June for New.Orieans, with = load of commissary stores, conaisting of 3,200 derrels of. pork, beans, &o. On the morning of the 9th ‘instant, when in latitude $4 26, longitude 74 13, it was reported to me that a brig was in sight, standing to the westward. As soon as she got within range it was observed that ahe had the American fing flying at halfmast, which I under- stood to be a signal of distress. I stood for the stranger ‘and hove to. A boat containing six men waa soon seen to leave the vessel and row towards my brig. The per- son in charge of the boat’s crew, whe proved to be a master’s mate on the rebel brig Coquette, nm answer ¢o & hail, said that his veesel was the brig Clarence, of Balti- more, forty days from Rio Janeiro, and that they were short of provisions, which be would like meto supply them with. He said that they were most in want of bread: but that he would like a little beef and pork also. When the boat bad reached the Mary Alvina, the men came on deck, and the person in command walked to the quarter-deck, followed by the boat’s crew. As they approached me pistols were drawn, and the officer said—‘Captain, I have to inform you that you and your crew are prisoners, and your vessel a prize to the Confederate brig Coquette.” Being unarmed, and seeing the folly of making any resistance, I quietly sub- mitted, and myself and crew were soon transferred to the deck of the privateer. Each of us was permitted to take on board a smal! bag of clothes. Notbing else was removed from the brig but my oautical instruments, which the pirates get and retained posression of. When the officer in charge of the boat boarded us he informed me that if I had not hove to as soon as I did he would have shot the man at the helm; and the captain of the rebel privateer stated that he was on the point of giving me @ shot. In about fifteen or twenty minutes from tbe time I reached the rebel vessel the Mary Alvinog was on fire. I understood that the beds aad other combustible materials on board were saturated with té? and pitch, to aid in the burning of the brig: My crew was put into the hold of the privateer, with a guard over the hatchway ; but I had the freedom of the vessel. ‘There was no restraint upon me whatever, and the crew conversed freely with me: I should think the crew numbered from thirty to thirty-five men, and the Co- quette bad four guns on board. Iam not able to give the precise calibré of the guns; two were small and two large. ‘The Coquette sailed under the American flag, and a log was kept 00 board, as of the Clarence, of Baltimore, from Rio, I was told that the Clarence had only 250 sacks of. coffee on board, and the story was that tbe captain of the Clarence had bought it at Rio on his own account. Soon after the capture of my vessel @ brig from the north hove in sight and the privateer gave chase. The strange ves- sel crowded sail, evidently having taken alarm from the burning of the Mary Alvina, and kept ahead, though the privateer gained upom her, until i be came too dark to keep up the chase, I learned, when on board, of the capture of the bark Whistling Wind (before reported). I asked, as a special favor, that I might be per- mitted to bave my ship’s papers; but it was refused. On the night of the 11th a vessel, supposed from ber celors to be a United States steamer, came in sight, but she paid no attention to the privateer. Fearing that she would board us three of the guns were thrown overboard ‘and the remaining one bid in the cabin. On the 12th the berk Tacony was captured, and the effects of the officers and crew transferred to her, and she was thea made the privateer, the Coquetie being destroyed by fire. Soon after the capture of the Tacony the schooner M. A. Shindler was captured. A “Quaker gun” was used in the capture of this vessel. A spar, painted black, was run over the side of the Tacony, aad the schooner was ordered to heave to or be blown out of water. I was well treated on the privateer, as were the other officers captured. The crew of the privateer is com- posed largely of foreigners, chiefly Englishmen. Only afow of them appear to be thorough sailors. Some of them told me that their term of enlistment was up, and expressed a wish to be released. My impression is that the change from the Coquette to the Tacony was made from a fear that a description of the Coquette might reach, the North through the release of the officers and crew of the Whistling Wind. A surgeon on board the privateer was called Brown; he belonged to Norfolk. One of the other officers was called Gutts; he belonged to New Point Comfort. The only small arms that Captain Frohock saw on board were those carried by the men. There were many pistols of large size. Captain Munday, of the bark Tacony, reports:—Sailed from Port Royal, 7th inst., for Philadelphia, in ballast; on the morning of the 12th, at 5:30 A, M., latitude 87, longi- tude 75 west, made a brig ahead with the American flag get in distress; after getting under ber stern she hailed the bark and asked if she could furnish him with one day's water, saying be was fifty five days out (rom Rio de Javeiro, and entirely out of water, and I would do him a great favor by giving him enough to last til! he got to the Chesapeake. Seeing nothing suspicious looking about him J told him I weuld grant his request with plea- We hove to, and he sent a boat with an officer and five men, whom the officer said ho bad brought to assist | tn getting out the water, so a8 to cause us no detention. | At this time my men were on deck, when the officer | turned on me, and he and his men drew their revolvers. | | The officer put his revolver to my face, saying T wasa | prisoner and my veasel a prize to the Confederate Stptes. We were then ordered on board the brig, which was called the Clarence, of Baltimore. The privateer promised us clothing and provisions enough to last of into port, but failed to farnish them, so that myself and crew were left without a change of clothing. Tne captain of the privateer transferred his crew on board of my bark and gailed to the east | ward, afler setting fre to the brig which captured me and the schooner M. A. Sbindler, both of which vossels were on fire when 1 last saw them The Tacony was owned by Mr. George R. Ayres,a merchant of ) this city, and was valued at $19,000.

Captain Teague was short of water and provisions, and 80. * informed the captain of the privateer, who promised to ‘send gome on Board the Kate Stewart, but failed to do 80, probably wishing to be at once out of sight of the two. veasels, which he get on fire at the same time he sent his prisopers ‘on board the Stewart. At @ quarter-past elevon A. M. the privateer hoisted a signal for the Stewart to proceed, and at the same time:she stood off to the east- ward, leaving the two vessels in flames. At one o’clock P.M, the Kate Stewart standing toward the Delaware Breakwater, was completely out of sight of the privateer and the burning vessels. The Kato Stewart took from tho privateer the officers and seamen of the brig Mary Alvira, of Boston, Frohock,\) master, bound from Boston to New. Orleans, with an as- sorted cargo.
