Looking through a glass over to the mouth of the harbor of Ferrol wo saw the Stonewall coming out, accompanied by the Spanish frigate Concepcion. This was about half. past ono o'clock, Almost simultaneously with her ap- pearance the Niagara and facramento got under weigh, the Sacramento heaving her anchor up first and taking the lead, Crowds of people began to throng from the town the lighthouse point, and by the time the two United States vessels were fairly under weigh it seomed as though the whole town had become awakened to the fact that an extraordinary naval combat was about to take place, and that they would be greatly the lovers if they did not witness it, The Niagara and Sacramento steered directly towards the Stonewall. The harbor of Forrol, it must be remembered, is only nine miles dis- tant from that of Corunna, and from the point wheve wo stood we could casily observe the movements of all three of the ships, On board our vessels the men were at quar- tors, ond everything was prepared for the combat.

Our Paris Correspondence. Panss, March 26, 1865. Movements of the Stonewall, dc. Treceivea a letter yesterday morning from your special Correspondent, at Ferrol, Spain, dated March 18, which mays :— The Stonewall's yards and topmasts are lowered to put ting trim, and Captain Page has taken leave of morning self roady for sea, He gone had it not been for a heavy sca and wind, which may keep him here some days, but that ho is going to sea there is now no doubt. Despatches received yesterday morning give later in} telligonce respecting the movemonts of the rebel Vessel. It seoms that on Tuesday, the 21st of March, at three P. M., the Stonowall weighed anchor and stood out of the harbor of Ferrol, accompanied by the Spanish frigate Concepcion. At the same time the Niagara and Sacramento got under weigh from Corunna, and followed her out. Of course an action was considered inevitable; but from some reason, which has not transpired, tho Stonewall returned to her moorings at Ferrol the same evening, without a collision having taken place. There is ample room for specula- ‘tion as to the cause of her return and her future move- ments. Tho Opinion Nationale atates that a correspond- ence from Spain, received this morning, contains the intelligence that the French government has addrossed a communication to the Captain General of the ne De- partment of Corunna, through the medium of the United States consular agent at that port, requesting him to pre- vent th? departure of the Stonewall, or, at least, expres- sing a desize that the rebel-v'ssel should not he allowed to go to sea at present. The Capta'n Gen ral replied that he had recoived no instructions upon this subject, except maintain the strictest possible neutrality in regard to the American vessels, THE VERY LATEST. [From the London Shipping Gazette, March 25. Intelligence has reached Faris that the Stonewall (ex-Olinde), Confederate steam ram, which has been for some time past at Ferrol, in Spain, quilted that port in the afternoon of the 2lst, accompanied by the Spanish bi iy Corcopcion. 5 ‘he fed. ral frigate N'agara and corvette Sacramento, wiich had been for some time at Corunna, immediately Put to sea. ‘The population of the two ports became much excited, expect ng a combat in view of the land, like that between the Alabuma and © near Cherbourg; but after a while the Stonewall returned to port. One of the Paris newspapers affirms that the United States Consul at Corunna nted to the Spanish naval commander that the French government wished the Ston ‘wall to be detained. It is not, however, at all likely that the French ernment, having a consul of } its own, would employ the United States Consul to mako such ® communi mn, nor is it probable that it would made ‘ direct tothe Spanish Admiral.
