SEIZURE OF A CANADIAN TUG AT DETROIT. - The Detroit Post of Monday says: "Yesterday afternoon the British tug METAMORAS, commanded by Captain Duncanson, was seized by the United States Revenue cutter FESSENDEN, for towing vessels chartered by the United States government. The same tug was seen towing four vessels down the river on Tuesday, and the revenue cutter officials have since kept at sharp look-out for her, finally nabbing her in the act. There is a law prohibiting the towage of United States vessels by tugs chartered by the British government, hence the seizure."
