Nothing tn.rm ww oeard of the Alabama un til timidiy morning, the K.earsa.j;.» in the meantime contiuuiiig her cruise off the port. A little after ten o'clock on this beautiful. Pr’ght, sitiishiuy Sabbwii morning, the Kear . ,ge. then lying about four milys off the port, the Alabama was tlis: oveied steaming towaids her. through what i.- known a. the “eastern passage. I’ne iTt‘‘.!l were imuicdiati-ly beat to A eorreejiotiai from Cucibon:g qaarfers, and every man sprang to Ids place, eager tor tiie c mi'.u-i.cs nciit of the fray. In order to put beyond the shadow of a doubt any question about violation ot nuetral teiritoiy, Captain Winslow, immediately upon uisiibvc.riug the Alabsma, heads l his vessel out to sea, anil ste lined away from the port un til he had reached a distance of about seven mil, s, the Alabama following in her wake, at a distance of a mile and a bait, the Confederate itvg ft uniting saucily in tne breeze of morning. AUer reaching an oiling of about seven miles, 1,1)0 K,.ar«age maekene I speed, a:i i turned her pmt side towards the ■ Alab.un :, slowly, allow ing »>).- latter to approach her. While bring in; hei port side to bear upon the Alabama, for ttie puip 'seof liglitirig the battle on ihat tide, the tearvage, lesei ving her fire, end a deathlike silence prevailing on_ board, permit ti-d the AlaKatna to appro ich within a distance of twelve hundred yaids. The Ksarsage had five gar.rt with which she fought the battle, mounted on the port side, her crew not. being suHiciinUy large to work the whole seven guns upon olio side. When the Alabama had arrived wi*iiin the distance above mentioned she opened the coin bat with a broadside tired at Ihe Kearsage.— T he Alabama (ought seven of her guns, two more than were used by tbe Kearsage, ttnd aDo on her starboard side. None of the shots struck the Kearsage, one or two passing over and the rest falling short. The reverberations of,the cannon and the wicked, wh’ZZing sound which the shot made ill passing through Die aii, however, excited the men, who.were anx ious to loturn shot for shot. Captain Winslow, however, deemed ii wise to .ill >w his antagonist lo approach 3ti it nearer. Tiie. Alabama, still apprt aching slow'.v. tiled a sucottd and a third broadside, none ot Die shots however, t ikinfi effect, before the Kear suge retnriv.,l a shot. When tho prop'! distance seemed to be ob tained, Caelum Winslow opened bis batteries upon ihe Alabama, and poured bro tdsida after broadside iti’o her as rapidly as the gunners eoubl load aiul lire After the Kearsage opened her batteries upon the Alabama, a rapid and continuous fire w{ts kept- up from both sides. E tch vessel of curse kept her steam up, aud each was sailing lit -a sireie.iu a direction opposite to the other, keeping her stai board battery bearing upon n ■ r antagonist. Spectator* fkieribe the macisntrvring of both tbe vessels as beautiful, i hey continued ap proaeliiitir each other until, towards tha end of the fight: a distance Os but about five hundred yards si r.irated them. The light commenced at twenty minutes past ton o'clock, arid lasted just one hour and five •liiunt* s. * During tills time four shots lodged in the hull of the Kenrsago. K ghtsli'ils in ail struck her hull. One rifle shot pa-*. ; ,d entirely through her smokestack: •anoUtcr rifle shell through the starboard side, below the main rigging, near the shear plank, bii'S'ing and wounding three men. causing tho only casualties to tho crew of the lveartage dm ing tie tight Another rifle shed struck under the stern and lodged in the rudder post without explod ing, another carried c.v.iy tho starboard life bfiuv, another seiatohcd the hammock nettings •aft ' Three thirty-two pounders p irsed the port side, Opposite,the ward room hitch. Another can ini away one of Ihe cranes over the ward room h itch, and. taking a slanting direction upward, passed til oug . the bottom of the cut ter on the port side. Another nil: shot s'truck the top of the engine room sky light, culling clear across it like a saw, ami filially passed through the sky-light window. Several struck the starboard light, hut their force was broken ny eh di..i Inuur on the si !o to cover and pro tect the bollor.t. These, therefore, caused no domain). Shots were continually whizzing through the rigging like hiiistones. anti it seems almost a miracle that more casualties did not occur. The first shot noticed as producing any ef fect upon the Aiai'aiu is; ruck her amidships, •tl her upper works, making* perceptible gap, but doing little or no serious damage. About h tit wathrough the tight an elevoi inch shell exploded or. the Alabama's deck, urar one of the divisions, killing fifteen out of the nineleen men, aud scattering boots and flesh in all di rections and cutting one man entirely in two. One cl tbe Alabama’s crew says the scupper litvially 'Tail blood.” 'I bird Lieutenant Wil son, also taken prisoner, says Jie was knock ed down four timer, but escaped without a wound. One hundred and seventy-four rounds were fired during the liom tire Iveursage, arid it is computed that the Alabama fired at least twice t ml number.

Another instance Un fair and honorable dealing of “pu lidt. A bion.’ ’ A few scattering in,-n were picked ii[> by some French pilot and fishing boats and taken into Cherbouig. After saving all the men she could find, the Kearsage took a pilotand came into Cherbourg, arriving about two o’clock, without it is F uev.- l, any serious damage, although it will ie qii'ifi her some two weeks probably to repair Capt. Winslow, giving it as a reason that -he h«ol no room to keep them in, immediately pa tided the prisoners —five officers and six y-Lwo men—and they went on shore. The. officers thus paroled were Sergeon G ilt, formerly of the United States n,avy. i'oiid fi'eiite.rrinl Wilson. Th’rd Engineer I’iu it, Cnief Erigisoer Freeman and the 1) nils wain. Sever al other officers, whose uamus I have not yet b"cn aide to ascertain, were picked up by a French boat. It is doubtful whether the action of Captain Winslow in paroling the prisoners wiii meet with the approbation of the government. 1: is equivalent, as far as his act can make it. to a recognition of the “belligerent rights” ol this British pirate, who has never yet entered s Confederate port It may have the e!lv;l. to seriously complicate the question of endtus which «mrgovernment will make, upon -.•ivut. lbiiaiii for property destroyed by this v .-.el. built, armed, equipped and manned in an K g lish port. It was certa'nty in opposition to the insfru tions of Mr Uavton, to whom Captain Wins low applied i',* to whether or not lie should parole the prisoners. Mr. Dayton’s finswer by telegraph, however, did not arrive until after the men were paroled. It is certainly in op position to tho feelings and wishes of hie (.In cus. As to the matter of room, Mr. Day*os informed me before I left Paris that be had teiegiaphed to Capt. Winslow that the £t Louis would arrive a‘t Cherbourg in a few days from the Mediterranean, and could tak« most of the prisoners on hoatd. That Captain Winslow believed tie was acting for the best of course I firmly believe. Still I think he acted very unwisely and-injudiciously. The fifteen woHri led men are in the hosptai, and are attended to by the surgeon ot the Kearsage and by tho guegoon of the Rappa hannock, who came over from Paris. Borne of the paroled officers lnve gone to Paris to day,-and the men are walking about the streets. [London Correspondence ot the N Y.

Captain Setnmes is the heio of the hour. As one of the daily pape s expressed it, he ‘ is the guest o( England.” And before be had been on shore forty-eight hours arrangements were made for luruiKiiiug him another sliip, more swift and powerful than tbe iil fated cult that has just met such a lightous retribu ion in Cbvtboug bay. A gentleman to’d"uie yester day he had seen Die steamer that was now fit ting out for U,plain Bemrncs liere in the Thames. And ho added tliat she would be put under his command iu such a way tint the Government could not possibly into;fere. I believe every word of this is true. There is a malignant spite in the English me tropolis, coupled with a love of gain that would rig out and turn a hundred Alabama*, utterly regardless of public morality, national right or public polity. A gentleman of my acquaintance had it long conversation with (he secoutl officer of the Alabama, and lie gave him these particulan; : The airangement was made at Cherbourg with the captain of the yacht Deerhound to gr out and witness the light', and lescue Seutates ii he were defeated. The officer also *a:d they had only four or five days provisions mi board, and the French .Government had forbidden them a supply ; so they hid to go mu and "meet" the Kearsage or have tho ship s >id aud die crew disbanded Trusting in that inch which had ever attended his craft, t e bold buccaneer sallied out —to meet more iban ids ni itch. -i.lt Capt. Wilkes exceeded his duty in taking Mason and Slidell from the Trent, then Out i. Winslow is somewhat to blame in allowing Stuemes to escape.
