I do not for otf* ln- stsnt question the autbencity of tbe Governor’s story as told to him by “Lord Burgoyne," of En gland, with whom “he formed so ulcasant an acquaintance while in Floreuce,” but I do in- charity most positively charge my Lord Burgoyne with having either in dulged too freely in the sparkling wines of fait Italy, thereby excit- tug too tnnch his' imaginary or gans, or that jiis insane desire for narrative overcame his bump of truthfulness. > It.hjfcnHw beS^eyr mttter of history,.as 1 re 2fflKst»L lbe ,°,9 r ‘ respondehee belween“Mr'. Secreta ry Seward and Lord Russell, rela tive to the English Nfiuiht Deer- bound, owned by John Lancaster, Esq., ol Hindley Mall, Wigan,.for rescuing Capt. Scmmes, with 13 of the officers and 27 $f the crew of tbe Alabama, after she had been sunk in action by the Kearsarge. History will pass down to posteri ty the noble' dfecT of plain John Lancaster and his Yacht Deer hound, when Lord Bili-guyne and his. imaginary achievements in bis yacht Greyhound will bo no more forever 1 Nov/ for tho “remarkably ac complished gentleman” who ac companied him • on - board the Kearsarge. I will here stats that, tin Kearsarge did not anchor in the harbor ot Cherbourg while the Alabama was there, but ran in for tbe purpose ot taking ia tbo pris oners wo had landed, to which Captain -@emmes --objected, as strengthening Ids crew in a neutral port, when the Kearsarge stemmed ont ’again and lay off the break water. It was then that Captain Bemmes communicated to our agent requesting him, tojntoyp Captain Window,of the Keanrarge,'through Unltctl.States Consul, that' if ha: would remain off the harbor till we could coal ship, he would come.opt and fight .him. I happened to have been at this interesting time upon tbe quarter-deck of the Alabama, with glass in hand, examining with intense scrutiny every part of the euemy’a.liull, rigging and battery. She Was guarded, however, in not approaching u$, near enough to ex pose her Iron shield she had so in- gcniously covered. While the vivid imagination of Lord Burgoyne flatters me with having located tbe boilers of tlu- Kearsarge, be lays me liable for great temerity in per mitting Capt. Scmmes unknowing ly to engage ah iron-clad; for cer tainly tho battle would not have taken piaco had that fact been divulged, nor would there.have been Opportunity given fdr tho brllltant Imagination ol Lord Burgoyne in picturing that tragic soene after tbo sinking of the Alabama, when he “pulledjin to the^boat Capt.
