The Confederate steamer the Florida has been provisionally seized at

Brest at the suit of a shipowner named Menier, who claims an indemnity of 100,000 francs for one of his vessels seized by that cruiser. While she is detained under this claim, we trust the English losers by the same ship's ex- drtions may be able to put in a detainer, and it would be so mach the better if claims to the full value of the ship itself could be substantiated. There are many cases of British property destroyed both by the Alabama and the Florida.
