tish steamer Greyhound, captured as blockade runner
off Wilmington North Carolina, by the United Sate
steamer Connecticut and that Miss Belle Boyd, the s
nous rebel spy, on board She took passage OF
the Greyhound at Wilmington for Nassau, but the In
terposiion of Uncl, Sans authority gave destination
10 her voyage different from what she anticipated at tnt
outset Upon her arrival here she was politely waited
upon by Marshal Reyes and invited TO take lodgings a
the fremont House until the pleasure of the Govern
ment shall be known respecting her disposition She
accompanied by three servantsa white woman, blacs
girl and black boy. She convefses freely and well
and Is evidently female OF intelligence and quick IN
derstanding. Her bearing during the passage-in ae

per in all respects She enterains aud expresses strong
admiration Of sympathy with the South but not in Of
fersve terms She thinks the pending contest between

oficsrs in the country. During the attack upon th
/ GREYHOUND Miss Boyd came deck, took seat upor
bale of cotton, and quietly sat tanning herself ant
watching the explosion OF the shells. She is tall vel
formed female blonde, and graceful in her manners
There ia much curiosity to see her, but the Marshal
