"5% Fortress Moxnox, Nov. 15. The United States steamer San Jacinto has just arrived from the coast of Africa, via the West Indies where she has been cruis- ing for some six weeks. Old Point was electrified by the tidings that the San Jacinto had on board Messrs, Slidell and Mason, who were going abroad as Ministers of the Southern Confederacy, to France and England, but were taken from an English steamer in the channel of the Bahamas. The San Jacinto will soon proceed to New York with her distinguished visitors. Commodore Wilkes reported the news at head quarters in person, and will forward his despatches to-night. The Belvidere, having been repaired, will leave for Port Royal early to-morrow with mails and despatches." A flag of truce from Norfolk brought down to-day 150 refugees. > The rebels pretend to make light of the affair at Port Royal, but at the same ime betray their apprehensions of the results.

Fort Moxrok, Nov. 15. : Mason and Slidell were aboard a British mail steamer. Wilkes sent aboard and de- manded their surrender. The reply was-- " There is not force enough to take them."' Wiikes sent additional force and put the San Jacinto in a convenient position. Slidel! and Mason were surrendered. The Eng- lish steamer took them on board, not know- ing who they were, their business or desti- nation. Captain Wilkes, it is understood, acted on his own responsibility. Gen.
