assigned her as quarters and q soldiers ration
each day be served out to her, with the means
of cooking the same; and that no verbal or
written communication be allowed with her
except through this Office, and that she be
kept in close confinement until removed to

Her Conduct Before GEN Butler.
While Gen. Butler was writing the above
order Mrs. Phillips conduct was remarkable,
to use mild term. She was so cool that |
found it quite refreshing to sit il hi shade.
Occasionally she would look at the General as
ne was writing, and would break into broad
smile of amused contempt, and affect to hide
it behind the fan which she swayed to and fro
as slowly and gracefully as she had ever done
in the old days when she presided in her salon
at Washington. Frequently she would raise
her glass to one eye and scan the objects around
the Office. A notice on the door especially
attracted her attention, and afforded her par
ticular amusement. 1t read thus aThere is
no difference between he and she adder, in
their venom" After she had been removed
from the office she sent back request that she
might be exiled instead of being sent to Ship
Island. / have been in doubt ever since
whether she intended this as a delicate satire
she will have nodoubt about Ship Island being
a place of exile before she has been there
twenty-four hours. An experience of two
months and half there, when the island was
crowded with troops and resounded with the
hum of busy toll, was sufficient to confound
ST. Helena and the garden of Eden, in my
mind.
Mrs. Phillips is rather fine looking wo-
man, and was dressed very neatly in white

1t will be remembered that at the time of
the seizure of specie at the Consulate of Meth
erlands, the Office of Count Mejan, the French
Consul, was held in possession for few hours
by General Butler but upon Mejan giving his
word of honor that he had no money in his
place that had the slightest connection with
the interests of the Southern Confederacy, the
guard was withdrawn. Within few days
General Butler has obtained evidence that
there were three quarters of million of spe-
cie in the French Consulate, which was prob
ably deposited there for secretion by the Citi-
zens' Bank just before the Union feet arrived
opposite the city.
Count Mejan and NJ. Dupassuer were sent
| for to-day and Mr.. Dupassuer stated that in
tu0 tdltCE part Vi n pTll OUucSTe, TtelQ61L
of the Citizens Bank, asked him if he would
| not like to buy some specie, giving In ex-
change for it the di ats of Dupassaer Il Co., on
Paris. Dupsssuer said he would, and gave
Mr.. Dunegre three drafts on Paris for three
| quarters of million, at five francs in the dol
lar. The specie was then conveyed at daylight
on Sunday, previous to the passage of the forts,
| to the French Consulate. NJ Dupassuer SAYS
his reason for removing the money at so early
| an hour was to prevent its being known by
1 evil disposed people in the city, He and the
Count Mejan both stated that they had never
been concerned in The purchase or importation
of arms, and Mean promised to send the Gen
eral report of the case. In the meantime
both gentlemen are pledged mott allow the
money to be removed until The matter can be
fully Investigated.

An important arrest was made last Satur-
day. General Butler having received infor.
nation that VIM. j. Delano, one of the local
reporters of the New Orleans Bee, was, up tt
March, 1861, a clerk in the Census Depart
ment at Washington, and that previous to tht
Inauguration of President Lincoln be haC
been member of an association in Washing
ton, of which Wigfall and other prominen
secessionists were also members and the OBJ
ject of which was the assassination of Mr.
Lincoln on the day of his Inauguration, b
ordered Colonel Stafford, Assistant Proves
Marshal, to arrest Delano, which he did anC
brought him before the General. On bein.
asked by General Butler if he had ever takel
an oath to assassinate the President, he said b
could not remember So the General ordere,
him to Fort jackson at hard labor until fur
tl1er notice. In his room Colonel Staffor
found letters from the Right Rev. Major Gen
eral Polk and other leaders of the rebellion
fully showing him to have been extensivel
engaged in furthering the cause Of secession
