warning him that VIM. Trappman captain
! in the confederate army was in Boston to sail
in the steamer America for Europe with dis

/ for priyaleers. Mr.. aimee proceeded to the
| steamer, which was to sail ut 10 o'clock, with
body Of policemen, and after long delay dis
covered the object of his search. Informing
Trappman Of their purpose to examine his pa
pers, he became highly indignant, declaring
/ himself the Prussian consul at Charleston, las
he was recentIy,) and producing his papers in
evidence OF that fact signed by Franklin
Pierce, president of the United States. He
also exhibited passport signed by Robert
Bunch, British consul at Charleston. He had
| also papers showing that he was the bearer of
dispatches from Lord Lyons, British minister
at Washington, to the British government,
and threatened the direst vengeance of that
| government if he was intertered with. MIR.
| AIMEE told him that if he had papers Of a trea'

from arrest His state room was then search

found there, and he was allowed to go out in
! the steamer, which sailed soon after. Upon
his return TO his office, Mr.. AIMEE found upon
his desk the following dispatch:--
| NEW YORK, June l2-Chief of Police Boston,
Arrest and hold William Irappmann, of Charles

to-day: Secure his papers. By order of the Secre-
JOHN A. KENNEDY, Supt of Police.
Had Mr.. AIMEE received this while upon the
steamer, he would have detained Mr.. Trapp
mann, but without that, he did not feel author
lied to do so. Mr. Trappmann, we believe,
has received his erequatu from Mr.. Seward,
for his connection with the rebels at Charles.
ton. The baggage Of Mrs Trappmann was
not searched, and it is possible that privateer-
ing commissions were concealed therein.
| THE REBELS IN MARYLAND.-The Union
men in the Maryland legislature are depressed
by The detection Of one Of their leading spr,
its, Mr.. Dennis of Somerset, who Yields a
wide spread political influence in his section
OF the state. The resolutions instTuctng their
| representatives in congress TO vote for the rec
ognition OF the southern confederacy, are sill
under consideration, and are the subject OF ev-
cry shade Of seditious debate. Gov. Hicks
has published an address to the people OF Ma
ryand, resentng the charge that lie had any
completely in the bridge burning scoundrcsm
on the 19th of April. The fact stands proved
that the conspiracy of the secessionists, of
which the attempt is made 10 make Gov. Hicks
a participant, was fully and deliberately plan
ned and all lis diaboical designs might have
been accomplished, but for the bold stand of
the governor, the determination OF The federal
government, and the bravery of our troops.
INTERESTING FROM PENsAcoLA.-The New
Orleans Delta of the 4th inst says: "The TWEEN
ty-siX hundred troops detached from general
Braggs amy for the seat Of war in Virginia
got off in fine style and great spirits. They
include our two splendid batlalions, the volun-
teers from Louisiana, and the Zouaves.
DreuX's volunteers are picked men, the elite
OF the state, and the Zouaves are the only
real Zouaves in the country. The mongrel
organizations OF city rowdies sent from the
north under the title OF Zouayes are burlesques
upon that splendid corps. Our Z0uaves are
Zouaves in reality, and cannot be distinguished
from the best in the French service. Among
them are about two hundred old French sol
| dierS. Several of the commissioned and all
| of the non commissioned officers have been of
| ficers in the French service, and their uniform
| is precisely that of the French corps, they are
commanded in French, and their drill is strict
| ly that OF the French light infantry. We pity
the northern force which comes in contact
with our Zouayes. Those who stand before
them must be prepared for close work. The
Zouaves prefer steel to lead. This reduction
OF Bragg's command leaves nm an ample
force to conduct the ope ations of the reduc-
ton OF fort Pickens. The enemy have landed
a reinforcement on Santa Rosa OF several nun.
dred men, and a large supply of provisions,
including live cattle. Their purpose is evil
IDENTIFY to establish an entrenched camp on the
island, and to stand long siege. We pity
the poor mercenaries. We regret that they
are not New England or New York volunteers
instead of unfortunate foreigners who have
been compelled TO enlist in order TO keep them
from starvation an want. Their destruction,
either by sickness or by Bragg's batteries, is
inevitable. Meantime our sagacious and en-.
ergetic general is Strengthening and augment
ing his batteries, and making other arrange,
mentS which will render the result a complete
and glorious one. The only fear is that Old
Brown may be able to steal off with his com
mand in the transports which are kept con-
stantly anchored off the island This would
be very unfortunate. We have double claim
TO Old Brown. In addition TO his perils from
Bragg's batteries and bayonets, he owes GER
tain responsibility to the laws of Florida tor
negro stealing, which will probably coAsign
him to the penitentiary for life"
The FIGHT AT AQUA CREEK.-The colored
fireman Of the ferry boat George Page, seized
by secessionsts and stationed at the mouth of
Aqua Creek, who escaped in lite boat to
Fort Washington, reports that upon the first
attack OF the Freedom upon the Aqua Creek
battery, the first shot came on shore and struck
man on one hand, that lay across the other
arm, and cut off the knuckes, also breaking the
arm. On June l, after the third battle, he
entered the batteries, and states that the
slaughter must have been immense, from the
quantities of blood to be seen. The place
looked like a slaughter house. The depot was
completely smashed, and the fire not quite
out The White House depot for provisions
was quite rlddled and the railroad track torn
up by shot and shell. The embrasures OF the
batteries Were completely cut to pieces Five
or SIX shots IN succession from the Ereeborn's
after gun in the first fight went into an en-
brasure, and silenced one gun. No more shots
were fired from it after. He says that while
at Aqua Creek, sometimes they did not have
provisions for two days together, now that AL
eXandria is occupied by Union troops. He
stood in position the whole time Of the first
hght to witness the effect OF every shot, and
