The arrRst of Chas. ]. Faulkner, ex-MinIster |
to France, for treason, vas effected today b7 |
detachment Of the Provost Guard, who for |
that purpose repaired to his hotel. He was
conye5ed to the jail, under orders from tbs ]
military authorities through the War Depart |
ment. He is not permitted to hold corre8-
pondence or conversation with any OF his
friends at present. As to the specific charges |
under which he Is held, they are, SO far as the |
public is concerned, mere matters Of specuIa- |
tion; but eon1ethiug has been said about his /
having commission IS q Bdgadier General |
in the rebel army. a formal examination |
into the case will, however, soon tske p1aca- |
His treason, 1t is alleged, was chiefly per-
petrated in France while he Was holding u |
ccmmieaion under the United Statea. :He |
chase arms, and used his influence With the |
leading statesmen Of France to have the
French Government recognize the reasonable
oljgs1chy Of JEFF. Davis. There is considers
BE rejoicing in Washington that the Govern.
ment has exhibited sufficient backbone to do
marked thai he Vas not aware Of having d3re
anything to justify these proceedings, and bus
Tor them he would have had his accounts set
tied to-day a. the State Department., which he
Lad visited the day after his arrival in Wash.

Secretary Seward, in accordance with the
courtesy governing ministers returning from
abroad.
Ittts said that 3 correspondence has been
found among e1-Minlster Faulkner's papers,
showing co!msion between him and certain
members Of the present Union government,

sm satisfied that Breyet Major General
Wool hiss been ordered to take command at
Fortress Monroe, to supersede. General But
cannot honorably do otherwise than resin,
a. he will doubtless do. The public SEN
tSnent In: favor of putting General Wool
in command Of column has induced the
Government to take this atep, the argument
being that there WINS no other place but Fort
| reee Monroe where he could be protltably Or
| der.d. If General Wool had been ordered to
report to Fortress Monroe, General Butler
! would still: have bean in command. Instead
Of that, General Wool VAS ordered to proceed
to Fortress Monroe and take command Of the
forces there, which necessarily supersedes
General Butler. =.
