Translated for Gazette from the N. Y. Abend Zeitung.
The London Times owes it to the numerous blunders of its American reports, that on this side of the ocean it is no more called “The Thunderer” on the Thames, but the “Blunderer.” Only latedy it announced that Fort Henry on the river Constantine has been taken by Federal troops. French and German papers are not doing better. The Patrie communicates to its readers the intelligence that a bloody encounter had take place between Generals Henry and Donelson, which had been decided favorably to the Federal troops, by Artillery-General Foote; the Augsburg Allgemeine Zeitung if we are not mistaken lets General Donelson be captured. Another surprising piece of news is, that the troops of Gen. Stone have embarked and are sent to Fort Lafayette!
