 The Sea Gull was arrested under direct orders from the State Department sent by telegraph, and addressed, we believe 10 the OstIict Attorney The message simply directed hlm 10 "arresi ihost Cuban uesssts,' and received on Thursday morning. The President has authority to use the army and navy 10 detain vessels violating the pro. visions ot the neutrality act. On going on board the Sea Gull no opposition was made, and the mate sald he Was glad she was 10 be detained he dldn like the movements that had been going on.
 We understand that some weeks since the Ses Gull was sold by heI owners 10 parties here, whom II IS not necessary 10 name, but who were well un dersiood 10 have been connected with the Cubar expedition. She had been handed over 10 them ant ladea with haskets, ammunition, etc, and hac cleared for Cufacoa. There was also a number Q Spanards on board. Her detention since Sdturda, of last week, al quarantine was caused oy the failur ot those who bought her to make payment as pro missed. The owner was unwilling to let her 20 {, sea untll she was paid for. We understand that h, has promised to resume possession Of her-ake ou her cargo and give bonds in any required amoun
 that she shall not be engaged in any illegal expedi tlon He promises, II required, to give up he license for the foreign trade and use her oniy fol domestic trahc. Under these circumstances, W, understand no farther proceedings will be had ag her.
 The steam-paeket New Orleans, lying at the heac ot Cherry street. was also seized under the same authority. She IS owned by Mr. Wood. who had sold her to the same parties, and had received 22 OOC in part payment of the purchase money. She hae been laden with cargo comprising among other articles l20 ,00G ratons.
 During the investigation into the matter of the vessels the names Of number oi persons in this city, who were prominently concerned in the same expedition, were ascersined, and unquesionablt evidence Of their complioty laid before the District Attorney. He immediately inquired, by telegraph. oi the Secretary of State, whether he should arrest persons as we'll as vessels, who had violated the law in question, and received for answer orders 10 do st. lie procured warrants for the ar. rest Of six persons--fye of whom are said by the Evening Post 10 be Edward Wer, Mariot, Pigot Clark and McFsll; whether these names are cor ree,iy given or not we are not aware. One of the parties arrested yesterday was brought up for ex- animation and baed M the sum of 5000. We understand that he has taken part as one of the leaders sf the intended expedition, at some of the meetings that have been held ln this city. and that ia speeches he has assured the parties present that the project was known to the Government and that II met their appreciation.
