October 24. Mr. Shufeldt, U. S. Consul at Havana, telegraphed to Capt. Wilkes, of the U. S. sloop San Jacinto, at Trinidad, to bring his vessel to Havana, in view of the numerous Confederate vessels finding refuge there, and remaining there unmolested to ship cargoes and return; perhaps, also, in view of the presence there of the rebel commissioners Mason and Slidell, en route for Europe.--National Intelligencer, November 1. An interesting correspondence between Gen. McClernand and the Confederate Gen. Polk, on the subject of a recent exchange of prisoners, was made public.--(Doc. 105.) Capt. H. L.

The Governor of Trinidad had already received Queen Victoria's proclamation of neutrality, and when Commander Semmes calst calculated to prevent the commission of so heinous a crime. While the Sumter remained at Trinidad she was thronged with visitors; some were sympathizers with the Confederate cause, others were h orders for the Governor to detain the Sumter.

The slowt one time Semmes came very near being captured by the Powhatan. He remarks in his journal: At Trinidad the Keystone State lost our trail, and, instead of pursuing us to Paramaribo and Maranham, turn

nment, expressed the great dissatisfaction that would be felt by the United States at the course pursued by the Dutch Governor, who seemed to be under the impression that the Union was broken up, and the Sumter was the embodiment of Southern rights and chivalry. It is to be hoped that some of these days the Dutch Governor may be hauled over the coals for giving aid and assistance to a rebel privateer to capture American commerce. Before leaving Curacoa we heard that the Sumter had been at Trinidad, and had left there steering west. We left Curacoa on the 2d September, steering northeast, and arrived in St. Thomas on the 5th of the same month, chasing and boarding vessels on the way, by which we found that the Sumter had not been heard of for some time on the Spanish Main. At St. Thomas we heard that the Sumter had gone into Surinam (Dutch Guayana) on the 20th of August. We hustled three hundred and fifty tons of coal on board, and sailed immediately in chase.
