Strange tale of guns landed for Carlists near Bilbao
A London Paris correspondent reports a dramatic tale of an American vessel carrying guns and ammunition to the Carlists. Captain Jefferson allegedly deposited $100,000 in a bank, aided by a relative in the Navy, and attempted to ship twenty seven guns with 250 cases of ammunition to Boston.
