HEADQUARTERS DEPT OF TIE GULF,
NEW ORLEANS. May 10. 1862.


To the Mayor and Gentlemen Of the City
Council Of New Orleans -
In the report Of your official action, pub
li,hed in the be Of the 10Th inst, find the
lJllowing extracted resolutions, with the ac-
ton Of pan, Of your body thereon, VIZ -
The following preamble and resolution, offered
bv Mr. stith, we're read twice and adopted
Whereas it has come 10 the knowledge Of this
Council that. for the lrst time in the history Of
this city, a large feet Of the navy Of France is
about to visit New Orleans-of which feet the
Catinet, now IN our port, is the pioneer-ths
Council, bearing in grateful remembrance the
many ties Of amity and COED feeling which unite
the people Of this city with those Of France, 10
whose paternal protection New Orleans owes its
foundation and eirly prosperity, and 70 whom it
is especially grateful for the Jealousy with which,
in the secession Of the state it guaranteed all tue
rights Of property, person and religious freedom
OF its citizens
BE it resolved, that the freedom and hOspitsIi-
ties Of the city OF New Orleans be rendered
through the Commander Of the Catinet 70 the
French naval fleet during its so journ in port;
and that a committee Of FIVE Of this Council be
appointed with the Mayor, to make such tender
and such other arrangements may be necessary
70 give eject to the same.
This action is an insult, as well TO the Uni-
ted States as TO the friendly and powerful na-
tion towards whose officers it is directed. The
offer Of the freedom OF a captured city by the
captiyes would merit letters patent for It's
novelty, were there not doubts Of its useful
ness as an invention. The tender Of Its hos
pitalities by a government to which police
duties and sanitary regulations only are en-
trusted, is simply an invitation TO the Gala
boose or the hospital. The United States
authorities are the only ones here capable of
dealing with amicaDle or unamicable nations,
and will see to it that such acts OF courtesy
or assistance are extended to any armed vessel
Of the Emperor Of France. as shall testify the
national, traditional and hereditary feelings
Of grateful remembrance with which the
United States government and people aPpre-
ciate the early aid OF France, and her many
acts Of friendly regard, shown upon so many
national and fitting occasions.
The action Of the City Council in this be
half must be revised. Respectfully,
B. F. BUTLER,
Maj. Gen, Commanding.

Last night the officer Of the guard at the

last Representatives whom Louisiana sent to
Congress, and who held out for the Union
long after his State secede.- Since that time

of his Union sentiments. lie is now a MANNED

IMPORTANT FROM THH VICINITY OF SAVANNAH.
Lieut.. Turner, commanding gunboat Sen
eca, reports after visiting contraband
colony on North Edisto Island, that it is
worthy of note as indicating the changes in
the blacks, that now they express themselves
most anxious to obtain arms. A black man,
who has general superintendency of the col
ony, wished to land his forces in Rockville
and drive the settlers back, expressing the
utmost confidence that with about twenty old
muskets that they had picked up, with flint
locks, he would be able TO effect his object.
Although, as reported, Tatnau reached
Pulaski from Savannah with thres vessels,
one was driven back, and, according to a con-
traband report, sunk at the wharf after reach
ing the city. The teiegrsphic wire from
Savannah to Pulaski has been cut BY q
force from our gunboats. Savannah has
been thrown into state of great alarm, and
all the energies of the place have been excl
ted to the utmost to increase its military de-
fences, for which purpose troops have been
Withdrawn from other places.
The share Of prize money due the COM
mander of one of our blockading vessels is
over 100000.

A dispatch has reached the General-in.
Chief from Gen. Halleck, announcing the
investment of Fort Donelson by 80, 600 men,
and by the noble feet of Commodore Foote,
anticipating speedy reduction.
Gen. Halleck says that Generals Floyd and
Buckner are in 1t with force of Ii 900 men,
and he is evidently Of opinion that his ar
rangement for cutting them of from rein
forcements will surely be successful.
The Oregon Democrat and Los Angeles
and California Star have been suppressed
from the mails on the ground that they have
been used for the purpose of overthrOwing

CHANGE OF NAME AT FORT HENRY.
Gen. McOlsrnand has changed the name Of

FROM TIE BURNSIDE FLEET.
A passenger from Roanoke says that a
shell bursted on our gunboat HstEel, and
fred the magazine. Lieut.. Franklin sprsng
down and extiaguished the flames moment
before they reached the powder, and there
was a similar occurrence on the Ceres, in con-
sequence of the bursting of gun. Col.
Russell, 10th Connecticut, fell dead from his
horse at the head of his regiment. No
scratch was found on his body and it Is sup
posed he was killed by the wind of can
non ball. The rebels behaved most co ward
ly, fleeing at the approach of one regiment.
