5a5oo each, for participation in the same Of
fence.
The Consul entered solemn protest again,
she whole proceedings, and il is said has close
his Office.
We last week gave report received at Mobil
By Tie Br.sh Steamer Trent, that Rey had d
ellned the offer Of the American Consul at H,
sana to put him on board packet about to So
TOT New Orleans, stating that he had left Ne
orleans BY bis own free will. We suppose
consequently, that the whole matter was at .
end. But i. ia now said that Rey gave that al
swer under restraint, and that he has since bee
committed to prison.
