General Butler as a ssSpeculatOr''
.. in Sugar. -....

The New York Evening Post thus disposes
of the story of General Buffers sugar spocu-
lation, which has been made the subject of so
much malignant comment:
The story was that when the transports
which took down his expedition to New Or
leans were returning north, instead of letting
them go in ballast, Butler loaded them, on his
own account, with sugar which he had seized
III the city; aud caused the sugar 10 be sold for
an immense sum in New York, which sum he
pockcted. or course he was monster of
corruption, and here was a glarng instance of
the INSCRIPTIONS manner in which he was en-
riching himself at Government expense. For
nearly a year you could not mention Buffers
name to a Secessionist Or y Vallandigham
Democrat without hearing this story
We'll, one day Butler came North and was
officially examined upon his administration in
Louisiana. He was asked TO explain this
transaction, which was the worst with which
he was charged by any one He did explain
it. The ships lay in New Orleans empty
They had to be sent North as soon as possible,
every days detention being heavy expense
to the Government They had to have bal
last, and could not get it nearer than Ship Is
land, while TO get it would have caused de-
lay of weeks. Meantime many thousand hogs
heads of sugar lay on the levee at price which
would yield handsome profit upon their sale
at New York A red-tape General would
have retained the ships until ballast was got
from Ship Island. Butler, with his own mon
ey, bought sugar enough TO load them all, had
itput aboard in the quickest time possible, and
sent them off to New York, with q letter to
the Secretary of the Treasury informing him
of the transaction, and saying to him Take
the sugar. sell it for Government account and
return me the money advanced" This the
Secretary very gladly did, and made hand
some profit for the Government. t..-... T.,

SAN Francisco, January 25-The Demo-
cratic Press, the Democratic paper of this city,
which is likely to be well acquainted with the
views, of DR., Gwyn and his friends in this city,
who are numerous here, publishes the follow
Ing statements: =
& We have RETAINED from indulging In specu-
lations, or expressing any opinion in regard
to the many reports and rumors relating to
the position and designs ofDr Gwyn in Mexi-
co, until we could give the exact facts, and in
dsputably vouch for them This we are nov
prepared to do by information received from
Barclay Henly, Esq, accredited agent of DR..
Gwyn, who is under the protection of the En-
peror of Mexico, Maximilian has conveyed,
by trust deed, to the emperor Louis Nap6,
leon, Sonora, Sinolia, and other northern
States of Mexico, the boundaries of which have
not yet been determined upon, to be held and
governed by the latter under Mexican protec-
ton as security for the payment of the claims
of France against Mexico, the same to be re-
stored to Mexico in full upon the payment Of
said claims, with all the private rights secured
under the French occupation, confirmed.
DR.. Gwyn is Governor General or Vice
Secretary of the Emperor of the French, and
is invested with plenary powers for the gov
ernment of the States which have been ceded,
and the disposal of the public lands and mines.
DR.. Gwyn has drawn up code of laws, which
have been approved by the Emperor of the
French, of the most liberal kind, guarantee
ing civil and religious liberty; providing for
the pre-emption purchase of public lands, and
regulating the terms Of occupation and use
Of the mines
The Emperor of the French guarantees a
military force, under direction of the Govern
or-General, sufficient to maintain the public
peace and defend the people of the States
against an internal and external force.
The policy of Dr. Gwyn, which has the ap,
proval of both the Emperors, is to encourage
emigration from the American States, by Of
fering the most liberal terms to settlers, in Or
der to bring intelligence, industry, energy and
enterprise to the development of the we'll
known resources of that region so highly IA
vored by the mutual advantages Of soil, eli
mate, and mineral wealth, and to form an en-
and substantial population, which
will assure permanency and security and give
strength and power to defend the States from
the filibustering expeditions which the unap-
propriated riches and semi-barbarous condi-
ton of the people have heretofore invited. Mr.,
Henly is associated with Major G. c. Ridges,
and both will act as agents Of Dr. Gwyn. They
are here for the purpose of inviting emigra-
ton to that region.
