Released.
--The three French officers who lately came from
Washington to
Richmond, for the purpose of joining our army, were released on Friday night by order of
Gen. Winder from the temporary surveillance established over their persons.
They expressed many thanks for the kindness shown them since their arrival here, and have united in a request to be assigned to any post where their services can be made available in the present contest.--Their names are
Capt. Vifquerin,
Lieuts. De Beaumont and
Cipriane.
We unadvisedly gave them all credit for having accepted situations in the
Federal army, but learn that
De Beaumont never was in it, having gone to
Havana for the purpose of going to New Orleans, and finding it impossible, afterwards proceeded to New York, whence he went to
Washington, and thence with his two comrades came to our camp and asked to be sent to
Richmond, which was done.
