I stated the result of the expeditiot took us some fifteen minutes to do it, and I remember remarking to Fox that if I was on the other side I could have come here and captured all Lincoln was, and he seemed very much taller in that garment; and Fox was about five feet nothing. In a few hurried words, without waiting for any forms or ceremonies, Fox communicated the news, and then he and Lincoln fell into each other's arms.

he United States for those arms with which to arm her troops,--and they were certainly better than nothing. When Seward's order was made it was so worded as not to appear to be a thrust at Mexico, for we were claiming to be friendly with Mexico and against the French in the matter of putting a French emperor over her. Thus we were stabbing her in the back. Soon afterwards I received information that one or more ships of the French fleet at Martinique, under the command of Admiral Reynaud (Fox) of the French navy, were coming to New Orleans. In a little time Admiral Reynaud appeared, bringing a communication from Seward authorizing me to sell Reynaud, if not inconsistent with the public service, some five to eight hundred draught mules, which he would pay for and receive at New Orleans for transportation.

Henry W. Paine, of Massachusetts, and the Hon. Thos. J. Durant, of Louisiana, and the third, the Hon. Gustavus V. Fox, late assistant Secretary of the Navy,--who would have a knowledge of the course involved in the proceedings, with the right to appeal from the judgment of the admiralty court to the Supreme Court. When I presented this agreement to the Attorney-General, he said: Who ever heard of a question of prize being submitted to arbitration? Have you got any precedent for it? No, Mr. Attorney-General, I have not, but I do not see why you should object. If we go on and try under arbit
