This afternoon the steamer Chesapeake and the
prisoners on board of her were delivered to the
Government Upon the arrival of the boat at
the Queen wharf the excitement became intense:
the prisoners were Immediately seized by boats
crew in the slip, and hurried off by crowd in
attendance.
Upon the Government officers moving to arrest
the prisoners under warrant, they were seized
and held by prominent citizens, and were thereby
rendered powerlesS to perform their duty. The
crowd finally succeeded in getting the pirates off
in a small boat, which forthwith moved down
the bay The affair causes the greatest excite
ment throughout this city. What course the
authorities will pursue in this matter it is i'm
possible to say, The pirates are all now at
liberty, scattered throughout the Province. The
Federal gunboats are preparing to leave.
Some will take their departure tonight, and
probably all will leave before Monday.

OF cheering character expected. IL is thought

One, that our forces are withd rawn entirely:
another, that having been re enforced by Gene
raj QuImbys S troops, they returned and re-
nawed the attack upon Greenwood. The latter
is more probable.
An expedition TO Austin, Arkansas, forty
miles above Helena, a few days ago, found
nothing TO capture but cut the leeyees, aud
Hooded the country. 1t then returned The
Mississippi at Helena is falling rapidly. The
cutting of the levees at Austin hastenei tn 1t
