tho war the Essex has been cruitiug
between Hermuda and Halifax. The
messngo which the Nnrngansrtl is

lows :
"Hriuging in Erou Priiu Wilhelm
as n prize."
The malinger of the Itnynl Mail
Steam Packet said he had eery rea
son to believe the report wns true.
He would not sav where he bad heard
it, hut it was believed that the Hrit.
isb consul was his authority.
