A remarkable instance of sagacity and (rood fortune

has turned up in the history of the schooner

Anna, of this port, which, In running the blockade

at Kt. Marc, In possession of the insurgents, mistook

the hurbor and ran into Gonalves, held by sainave's

forces. While running In she was tired at from the

Haytien gunboat Salnave, which gave the captain

i Del fosse) the tlrst intimation of his mistake. Two

Haytien exiles were on board, and to save them from

lalling into the hands of General Chevalier two puncheons

of rum were sacrificed, the contents being run

off ami the exiles carefully headed up in them. The

Anna was towed into Gonaives, where her crew were

made prisoners. Captain Delfosse was, however,

smarter than those who captured him, and he turned

the tables upon them by boldly demanding an exSlunation

from the authorities, lie stated that bv a

ecree of the President all vessels running for rebel

ports were required to call in at a government port

to undergo examination of cargo, that the authorities

might be satisfied that they carried notluug contraband

of war. lie profe.-sed to have acted in compliance

with this order and Insisted on knowing

upon what ground his vessel was tired upon. The

Anna was searched, and as nothing coutraoand was

found on her she was released and permitted to continue

her voyage, but not until a considerable portion

of her cargo had been plundered by the crew or

the Saltiave. 'ine rum-preserved exiles were speedily

released and warmly embraced Captain Deirosse

as their deliverer.

The demand for logwood continues in consequence
