Zouaves have been encamped at Staten Island for
timc, but not yet quite full Under III, recent order
from the Secretary Of War; they were bound to proceed
Immediately to the seat OF whether their regiment
contained the necessary complement of en- or were pro
perry equipped not. Even this, II appears led TO
good dca " dissatisfaction among the members Of the
corps.
At twelve O'Clock yesterday the muster having been
calei there found only about 500 answering
their names but when two O'Clock arrived nearly 500
present that the line of march for departure
at taken up There appears, however, to be some
difficulty IN connection with Colonel Fairman's relations
with the regiment The themselves do not like to
feeling for Colonel Fa!rn'an against whom, appears,
strong efforts being made by politicians at Washing
ton to Gust out of the command of the ZoWvcs.
When the regiment moved from the armOry yesterday

Between 1--WE and six o'clock the Zouayes according 10
orders assembled at the Park Barracks As the
gregated about the Park considerable dissatisfaction
was manifested at the delay they put to and the
ignorance Of their officers to their future

city without pafss and convey them to tho Park
barracks, the police about sYsn o'clock began to
bring them in quite rapidly. Maly who were intoxicated
very boterUus and cvinced disposition TO create

their threats to take revenge the police for interfering
missed the regiment with the understanding that they

O'Clock and finding that orders had been given TO the
regiment that they were discharged until this morning
lac Immediately the order for the police u
arrest them. and they accordingly pcrmtt,d TO visit
their fires unmoicsted
1t is certainly very unpleasant for tho police to receive
orders to return all members Of certain regiments found

to the police at the request Of Colonel Fairman yester
day, and had IL be coun!orm,nded.
