We cannot remember when We were more SUI
prised than upon the reception of the intelligence
conveyed US through the dispatch we publish
thiS morning from Camp Moore, Louisiana TO

the Netherlands, and Of the French snd Spanish

OTlesns-that be has searched the person CT the
first named digpitary, forcibly taken vault key
from his pocket. and Seized a bank whose-stock
Is owned and controlled exclusively by foreign
subjects.
This high-handed procedure. IN our mind,
presents another Trent affair for the cOnsiders-
ton Of the Federal government The we'll
recognized principle Of International law, that a
neutral aaz covers neutral goods not contra
band, applies IL this instance as wei as on
board vessel at sea, and il we mistake not
LOUIS NAPOLEON IS not the man to shrink from
the strict enforcement Of that principle What
could have induced BUTLER to rash fatuitously
into ihis awkward prcdicament, we cannot pos
sibly tell, with the lights now before US He
has certainly repeated the experiment Of the
unfortunate Capt. WILKES, and paved the way
for his government to incontinenty back down
and eat dia" again, or fight France, Spain
and the Netherlands combined.
Such IS the present aspect of the case, though
We feel 50 thoroughly disgusted WITH and com
pietely weaued from delusive expectations Of
