The Annapolis correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun says THE Federal fleet, which
sailed from this port on Sunday night last,
took with them several slaves belonging ia
parties in this city and vicinity. 1t is al
legged that the slaves secreted themselves in
the vessels, or were slowed away there by
the soldiers, unknown to and contrary to the
explicit orders of the commanders. Some
eight or ten were arrested while endeavoring
to get away. and lodged in Jail; and one was
arrested at Fortress Monroe, by policeman
Hubbard, of this city, and taken to Balti-
more, and lodged in Jail. 1t is generally
believed that the officers of the. expedition
did all in their power to prevent the escape
OF negroes. They arrested several and
handed them over to the sheriff."
