Tho prosonco of the rebel pirate ram Stonewall in the harbor of Havana has caused great excitement lero, and ‘Speculations are rife among the inhabitants 1 resard to the probability of the corsair paying usa visit.

I have information from an officer of the United States Navy, who witnessed the transaction, that the Stonewall rocoived one hundred barrels of | powdor on board last Friday, together with a largo quan- ‘ity of shot and shell. This is part and parcel of tho Sreachory which the Spanish goverument bas always manifested towards the United States from the first in Geption of the rebellion. The powder is bad enough, as @artridges can be made from it to fit any calibro; but the fact of shot and shell of @ certain size being placed on Doard the pirate indicates complicity and design on the part of tho Spanish government in furnishing the mori- bund confederacy with an arsenal in Havana, from which ‘the Stonewall can always draw munitions of war with ‘which to deal destruction agaiast the commerce of the ‘United States, and, perhaps, to annoy tho weakest places On thoir seaboard.

The Pivate Stonewall Blockaded in Havana—Capture f @ British Bark by the Lonemta—Her Cortain Release, do., de, Admiral Stribling has sent a strong force of war vessels to lay off Havana to prevent the Stonowall from coming out, and to engage and oaptare her in the oveat of her endeavoring to run the gauatiet. It remains to be seen whether General Dulce will compel the pirate to leave as soon as the necessary (?) repairs to her machinery are completed, or whether he will fall back upon bis reserva- tion, ament the unforeseen circumstances which may detain the Stonowall—to wit, the tying in wait of United ‘States vernets-of-war to captureher, s On'the 8th inst. the bark Gporge Dowghwith, Davia, master, of Shietds, England, hound from Savanne-la-Mar, Jamaica, to London, with » cargo of sugar, tum, ma hogany and logwood, was boarded by the United States steamer Isonomia, in the Guif of Mexico, to the west- ward of Cape San Antonio, the weatermost point of Cuba, having been driven out of her course by strong current setting towards the west, Her close proximity to the Florida shore aroused the suspicion of Acting Vol- unteer Lieutenant Voorhies, commanding the Isonomia, who captured her as a prize, and sent her in here, undor charge of Acting Master J. L. Alcorn. Her papers were found to be all correct, and, without doubt, she will be released. The Press Despatch. Havana, May 20, 1865. ‘We have no newa from abroad of interest, and tho all absorbing topic is the Stonewall. There have been as many rumors as relators, each making @ report for him- self. It had beon rumored that Captain Page wished to sur- render on the same terms as those extended to General Lee, so Captain Boggs, of the Connecticut, who had some experience with rebel rams at the taking of New Orleans, sent him a note demanding his surrender, and proffering the terms extended to General Lee. The reply was that present instructions from his government did not permit him to acoept the offer of Captain Boggs. From the news lately received from the United States Captain Page probably concluded he would not be likely for some time to receive instructions from his govern- ment; 80 he applied to General Dulce to deliver the ves- sel up to him on condition that she should never be de- livered up to the United States. Goneral Duleo immodl- ately and firmly refused, stating that had he demanded her surrender they might have claimed conditions; but as they had come to him voluntarily to surrender her into bis hands he would accept no conditions whatever, but would receive her as 4 deposit. This was finally agreed to, and the officors and men put on shore, a guard of Spanish marines taking eustody of the ram. Genoral Dulco then wrote to the General de Marina, stating the facts, and the Auditor de Guerra, with some artillery officers, then proceeded on board to tako an inventory of everything on board of the Stonowall. When this is concluded she will be taken to the arsenal, and remain there without a flag until further orders. ‘The flag was hauled down last night and was not hoisted this morning, so the Spanish authorities did not have to lower it, Most of the crew were Spaniards and Portu- guese, and a hard looking set of scoundrels they are. Large numbers of thom had deserted. The Por- tuguese consul has shipped four of the desertors, and there are four more in jail for getting in a row the other night. Asan immediate consequence of the visit of the Colum. bia to Key Wost, the Powhatan, Commander Worden, came into port fully determined to attack this formidable Monster, and attempt to board her in case she should go out. She was s00n followed by the Aries, Connecticut and several others, All were lying off the port ready to attack her. . The President’s Carriage. MR.

T obeyed the order to report to General Grant that night, and was by him assigned to the com- mand of the dofences at City Point and Bermuda Hun- dred. After the evacuation of Richmond and Potersburg I was given the command of the troops at the latter place and along the South Side Railroad belonging to the Army of tho Potomac. When these troopa wore re- Hoved by troops from tho Army of tho James, I was left |. in Petersburg awaiting orders. I then addreased a lottor (copy sent herewith), dated April 9, to General Rawlins, Chiof of Stat, soticiting an investigation, On the 224 of April I sont another, requesting permission to publish the first one for tho roasona set forth (herein (copy sent here- with). On the 2d of May I telegraphed Colonel Bowers, Adjutant General, to ascertain if theso had been re- ceived; and he answered they “were received, the latter during General Grant's absence.

Having thus exhausted my means of getting at tho causo of my being relieved by Genoral Sheridan, I pro- sont the following brief account of the operations on the Ist of April :— ‘The operations of the enemy on the 3iatof March mado {t necessary for me to send a portion of my corps during the night t> support Genoral Sheridan's cavalry, which ‘been forced Kk to near Dinwiddie Court House. One of my divisions was thus compelled to march all night, after having fought all day, and tho rest of the corps moved towards the enemy that confronted the cavalry at daybreak. Our negny on the flank and rear of the enomy com- Hed him to fall back rapidly to the vicinity of the Five ‘and Qonoral Sheridan, on advancing with the fenit ( found him slightly intrenched there. This force proved to bo a complote division of the enomy’s infantry and all tho cavalry of Leo's army. T received an order from General Meade, aftor ptr General Sheridan, to report to him for duty, which I did, and the corps was halted by bis direction at the point whore wo joined him, about eight o’olook A. M. At one o'clock P. M. I was directed to bring up the corps to Gravelly run ohureh, a distance of about two and threo- rth miles from where they had been halted, and there form with two divisions in front and ono in reserve, 80 av to move with the whole corps, and attack and turn the enemy's left fiank on the White Oak road, My line was formed accordingly, Ayres on the left, in three lines of battle; Crawford on the right, in threo lines of battlo, and Griffin's division in reserve in masses, This occupied tH! four o'clock P. M. The forward move- ment thon began. General Ayer's division became frat engaged, wheeling to the left from facing north to facing west as it advanced. General Crawiord's division also wheeled to the left on General Ayres’ as a pivot, but owing to the nature of the ground, and forests, and tho greater distance to gain, be ‘lost his connection with General Ayros. Into the Interval thie loft General Griffin's division’ was placed. These two divisions steadily drove in the enemy's loft flank. Gene: Crawford's division moved on westward ined the road leading north from the the enomy’s position, when it was wheeled to the south, and attacked the troops that were endeavoring to hold this road as an outlet for escape. All three di- visions now cloned in upon tho enemy, capturing the artill that was attempting to m north and nearly all the infantry, which their movements had thrown into the greatest confusion. I sucorssively followed the ope- pd my divisions from left to right, being with Crawford when the position was taken. While these movements above described were going on, the cavalry engaged the enemy along his whole front, which ‘was facing south. The onemy still maintained the right of bis line tga ypoan J the cavalry after we had swept away his left and centre; but tho Fifth corps, crowding the line without waiting to reform, captured all who romained as it swopt along.
