in lat. 1 40 N., long. -28 W., Captain W. H
Archer, of the Lizzie M. Stacey, discovered
a ship 10 the westward, coming towards him
very lest,- and he ,shortly. afterwards - made
her out to be a steamer. In about two hours
she came up with Captain Archer's vessel,
and, after hauling down the British ensign
which she had been 'flying, and sending up
the Confederate Colors, she fired a gun. and
love to. The Lizzie M. Stem...vies- then
hove to likewisev and a boat was loitered
from the Shenandoah, in charge of Lieuten-
ant.Grinsball, Master's -Mate Hunt and Mid-
shipman Brown. 'Capt. Archer was asked
where he was from and where bound to, and
if he had any foreign cargo on board. Capt.
Archer replied, "ro." ." Then. sir," said
Lieut,- Grimball, You are a prize to the
Confederate steamerShenandoah ; take your
papers and go 00 board with your mate,"
Capt. Archer then went on board the Shen-
andoah, and was sinterrogated in a similar.
manner by Capt. Waddel, Who ultanately
said, 4' Well sir, !shall burn your ship. Go
on board and get your luggage together, and
take care not to destroy provisions, or it will
be worse for iourtiOlves.' After the return
of Captain A.rcher,with his crew the Lizzie
M. Stacey was rankked, scuttled andset.fire
to. The vessel belonged to >Messrs. C

_The crews of Lizere M. Stacey and the
Edward. were landed at - the island ot Tristan
a' A.cutiha and were kindly received and
!edged until the Federal war steamer Iroquois
took. them away. Captain Archer reparts
