tiers 60 on smoothly. But it seon became ap-
parent that the streets were neglected, as if
on purpose to invite Yellow Jack to come and
make short work of the Hessians." A sharp
word goes from the St. Charles to the City
Hall to start the hoes, and, at a jump, the
hoes were started. But it went against the
grain. The aldermen could not sleep o nights.
Yellow Jack out of the question, they thought
they would try Ia belle France. So they pass
ed a resolution rendering the officers of the
French frigate Catinet the freedom and hospi-
talities of the city. Up comes word from the
St. Charles that this sort Of thing don't answer
that " the freedom of captured city by the
captives would merit letters patent for its nov
city, were there not doubts of its usefulness
as an invention, and that " the tender of hos
pitahties by a government to which police du-
ties and sanitary regulations only are intrust-
ed is simply an invitation to the calaboose or
the hospital" The women bride up. They
are not content with leaving our quiet soldiers
to themselves, but must needs insult and abuse
them. The general determines that this un-
feminine practice, so provocative of i'll blood,
shall stop. He proclaims that all women
guilty Of it shall be treated as disorderly wo-
men. Thereupon Mayor Monroe steps again
upon the scene, and as chief magistrate of
this city, chargeable with its peace and dig
nifty, 4" protests against an order so extraordi-
nary and astonishing" The immediate reply
is that John T. Monroe, late mayor of the
city of New Orleans, is relieved from all re-
sponsibility for the peace of the city, and COM
mitted to Fort Jackson until further orders"
Straightway the mayor hurries down to the
ST. Charles, and makes written retraction,
to wit This communication having been
sent under mistake of fact, and being i'm
proper in language, desire to apologize for
the same, and to withdraw it." The retract-
ion is accepted, and the mayor retires; but
on the next day, having been taken to task
by his clique, he again presents himself with
several hackers, to get modification of the
order about the women, or to take back his
apology. Tie receives the reply that a modi-
ication is impossible, and with tia argument
from the good-natured general showing its
propriety and necessity. The mayor bows,
convinced and leaves. Two days afterwards
again he comes down with his friends and in
sists upon having back the apology. The gen.
eral hands it back, and. at the same moment,
gives an order committing the whole set to
Fort Jackson, and there they now ruminate.
Mine host Of the St Charles, like true land
lord, makes no distinction of naiionalitieS.
The British Guard, made up of born sub
jects of Queen Victoria, as part of the for
eign legion which kept the peace of the city,
after LovelPs leap from it, on disbanding sent
their arms and equipments to Beauregard's
army. Gen. Butler hears Of it, and orders the
members of the company who were guilty OF
this breech Of neutrality to leave the city with
in twenty-four hours. The British consul
protests. He is answered: "These people
thought it Of consequence that Beauregard
should have sixty more uniforms and rifles.
I thought it Of the same consequence that he
should have sixty more of these faithless men,
who may fill them if they choose and her
maiesty's functionary makes nothing by his
motion. The consul OF the Netherlands Sc
cretes in his vaults large amount of confed-
crate specie. The generals aids make their
appearance, and demand the keys to the vault.
The consul protests against the invasion of his
consulate, and refuses to give the keys. His
person is seized and searched the keys are
taken from him, the vault is opened, hun
dred and sixty kegs OF specie are discovered,
and removed. The consul sends vehement
protest to the general, and in reply is told
no person can exceed me in the respect 1
shall pay to the flags of all nations and to the
consulate authority, even while do not rec
ognize many claims made under them; but
wish it most distinctly understood that, in or
der to be respected, the consul, his Office and
the use of his flag must each and all be re-
spected." The irate official, and dozen 9TH
ers of the same grade from different nations
who unite with him in the protest. don't sue
ceed in getting the slightest apology or salts
faction.
The secesh Of New Orleans have found in
this picayune something they did not count
on, and are fast revising their ideas of Yam
kee small coin.-N Y World
