AN ARMED EXPEDITION SENT Down THE Bay
Provost Marshal kenley yesterday morning or
dered the seizure of the steamer Chester, Captain
Young, lust she firing up for her usual trip
to ChestertowD,) for the purpose of sending an
armed expedition down the Chesapeake Bay to cap
ture schooner that was supposed to be lying near
Fairhaven. The for this movement are
given as follows Information had been received
bv the Provost Marshal to the effect that Mr..
Richard Thomas, who We arrested on Monday last,
which had been lett off the mouth of the Potomac,
in charge of crew, who awaited the return of hr.
Thomas to Baltimore. MIR. Thomas is said TO hold
a Colonels commission in the Confederate army,
and is alleged to have been the hero Of the 81.
Nicholas adventure. The Chester was run down to
the Fort, where an armament of two twenty-fOur
Founders, an artillery company, and posse OF
vice policeman, were placed board. About Z
o'clock she steamed down the bay. Orders were
given to stop any steamers that might have started
from Baltimore at an earlier hour, so as to pre-
cude the possibility of the object of the expedi-
tion being made known. The result of the ex-
pedtion is not yet known.
We learn that the prisoner alluded to as Mr..
Thomas holds a commission in the Confederate
army under the title of Colonel Z4rvona He is
retained in the guard-h0use, and is not held as a
prisoner of war, but for piracy and treason.
We presume that his will be dealt with care
fully, inasmuch as any failure to recognize his
military character, in his trial or punishment,
would of course be followed by retaliation on the
part of the Confederate government
