Our last adviccs bring us the assertion Of M. de

There appears to be . slight difficulty with
Prussia, growing out Of General Buffers ad-
miuistraton Of affairs in New Orleans. 1t is
beginning to exercise the people Of England,
and give the comments Of the London. Times
on the subject. These comments are only an
other instance Of the determination Of that jour
nal to distort the truth and malign the motive
Of every action Of. our government and its Of
hoers. -r.y't - r sts~'r.'f' -
Immediately after the passage Of the Con6scs-
tion act General Butler used every means in his
power to ehlighten the people of New Orleans
on theeprsvisions Of that act, and to assure them
that as far as his department was concerned, ii
would be strictly enforced The ,resultof xhis
course was that constant attempts were made
by persons who had been closely identified with
the secession movement to remove their valu-
able personal property beyond the national
lines by stealth; and whcn after the ship Essex
had discharged her cargo Of salt, she was adver-
tised to sail for European port, the oppor-
tunity was eagerly seized by many residents Of
New Orleans--who were determined to yield
no allegiance to the United States government
to thus evade . confscation Of their property
which their treasou richly merited In this they
were seconded by the master Of the vessel, Cap
tain Klatt with a readiness and pertinaoity
which fully disclosed his sympathy with the
enemies Of our country.
But in their expectations Of eludiug the vigi-
lance Of the national authorities they were dsap-
pointed for, with that comprehensive tact wr;ch
enables him to supervise the transact si0ns Of in
triguing consuls and to detect covert mutila-
tion Of church liturgy while he still keeps a
watchful eye on the rebel forces in his neigh
borhood General Butler was fully cognuanl
of the little arrangement which the Times
coolly denominates Legitimate commerce" and
with his usual promptness and decision he at
once ordered the Essex to be detained until
he could Investigates the matter and discrimi-
nate between the loyal and disloyal ship
pers OF freight. From information derived
from a reliable source, we are satisfied that
where there was no evidence of intention Of
evasion of the law OF Congress General Butler
not only did not throw any ilnpedinent in the
way OF such shipment, but afforded every pro-
per facility.
We are aware that in instances whore foreign
subjects had formerly resided in New Orleans,
bnt had returned to Earope before or at the
commencement OF the rebellion. he gave
q ready consent to the transmission of their ef-
fccts to them. In this matter Gen. Buffers ac-
ton was prompted by the same motive which
has influenced him in every restriction that he
has placed upon the rebellious people within
his jurisdiction --an inilexible resolution to
strike At every vulnerable point Of the monster
treason. so that those who have brought our
grand young nation into its present unhappy
condition may have taste Of the bitter fruit Of
their foul tree OF secession.

tire lack OF any lackadaisicsi sympathy for
our erring brothers who in t:leir armed nos-

the secret Of Gen. Buffers successful rule in
New Orleans; and we think the government
would do we'll to inquire more closely into the
truth of. the various foreign complaints against
him before they tamely yield to demands that
would never lie recognized but for the fear Of
that ridiculous Lete nO;,.-interventiou.
