shortly before noon to-day, VIC hear, the
Hon. Charles James Faulkner, Of Nr.
GINA, ex-Uuited States Minister to Paris,

Such rumors have for some time been
ahoat hcre--we know not on what an
thority, however.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun writes ~ lollows on the
same subject:
Tie startling event OF to-day has been

the time Of this writing he has had no ex-
animation OF trial. His baggage. &c. is
under close military surveillance. II is
suT9,sssd that he was arrested npou .
chasHs Of treason. but in what precise
way he has given aid and comfort to the
enemies Of the Republic has mot yet
trawpired. On Saturday he stated pub
iicly that he had called Upon the Govern
meut Tor pAss to 60 into Virginia. but

United States. and ~ be- might l,e loyal
to the Federal Government when he
Al,ould reach his home. it 10 suppostd
that something hcsides the mere asking
for pass IS at the bottom Of the Accuses
ton against him.
