Injustice, soverlly, or even carelessness on tho part of the military forces of tho United States, bo that redress, If Justly duo, shall bo awarded. Incntortng upon Ibis examination, I could not but remark that Mr. Bougere's own repre sentations of his attitude towards tbo do, cm ment do not seem to mo to fully justify tbe view of It which, u,wn different Information, you hat u assnmcu. Yon stato that his antece dents hnvo been represented to you as excel lent In all respects, and that ho appears to hao ncm departed from tho strict neutrality which the Emperor's Government has not ceased to recommend to Its citizens under ox 1 s tint,' circumstances. In trusting to Mr. Bon gcre's statement, I obserro that upou the point non lu question ho states only that ho uer loet his nationality as a French subject, nor boru arms against tho United States. I need hardly point out to so just an obsen cr as your Excellency the fact that, besides bearing arms against tho United Btatcs, thcro am other ays In which a man of wealth and Influence can abet and support a treasonable Insurrection. Kveu tho chief of the revolutionary conspiracy, and every member of the cabals which aro called his Cabinet and Congicss, can probably safely assert that ho has never borne arms against tho United States. It may, neverthe less, bo tme that Mr. Bougere has preserved his neutrality In tho present conillct, notwith standing his own seeming reserve upon mot object i I will thcreforo cheerfully receive, upou that point, any more full and a Jti factory Information which you may bo authorised now or hereafter to furnish. In tho mean time, candor requires that I should Inform jou that even tho very cautious and guarded statement which Mr. liougcro mako concerning his neu trality Is distinctly contradicted by the military authorities at Now Orleans. Iboy represent that beforo tho transaction, of which ho com i lalns. hud occurred, he had been In the habit uf meeting with a military band of Insurgents, of tth.fha nephew of hla is caplalui that ho assisted largely by voluntary coniriuuuons io equip that tieusonablo band, and that ho vol untarily supplied them with rations sent from his own house that he provided himself with n rc olutlonary uniform, saddle, and horso equip ments, and had them In his possession and ready for use on his plantation when that trans fiction occurred. raising from the political character of tho claimant to tho details of tho transaction com plained of, I must call your attention to the cry aguu and unsatisfactory manner In which tho facts aro presented by Mr. Uougcre. lie coulents himself with saying that a column of troops of tho United States, commanded by Colonel Thomas and Cnptuin Orout, of the Eighth Vermont, took by force tho slaes and nronem described, and forbears from gi lng any account of tho moment or circumstances of tho aucgeu capture. This very general nai la ment la unsupported by any teatlmouy or el ilaicc, nor is It even authenticated by tho cus tomary continuation of his own oath. I think you will at once perceive that theie Is a necessity for your referring the matter back lojour consul for testimony ut somo kind, when I lufuru you that th fuct of u forcible taking ol Iheslavcaaud propertyUiontradlct td by the military authorities of tho United Siatei) who were eugaged lu thu transaction They rcjwrt that tho negroci (claimed as slave.) wero not iaaen oy rorce nor in any otner way by the military column) but that, on the contrary, they left tho Plantation TofuntarUri that a portion, understood to be orer half of mem, naa even to lert ana abandoned tho plantation beforo the expedition In that direc tion was made: and that of the remaining half ft portion left In the same voluntary manner taking advantago of the expedition, tome of them going off before the column at It ad vanced, and others following behind It as It proceeded that the expedition returned during a night and a day, and that other negroes, sup posed to bo slaves then, followed it on Its re turn and that all this was done not only with out any command or dlrodlon given by the ouiccr, out even wunout any interference made by himself or by any of the forces constituting the expedition. It Is also ststcd by tho mili tary authorities that they received only one of the fncltlve slaves In question, and that this particular slavowas one whq had escaped from the plantation before tho expedition waa made, was wounded by a mnskct-ball In tho act of escape, and, therefore, sought refugo In the camp, and wpi-ihcre Indulged with medical treatment. '" The same authorities report that when tho expedition had pasted Mr. uougcre's homo on Its outward march, that person, who had been absent from tho mansion, rclnrncd to It and then drove all his cattle and other stock back Into the woods, and also drovo the slaves who wero then remaining on the plantation Into his sugar-houtei and that these slaves, taking ad vantage of tho night, left the sugar-home and followed the expedition on Its return to the camp, Tho military authorities further report that they took two very poor horses from the plant ation and used them to draw the guns, but that onlr one of them belonged to Mr. Bougcret and they allege that no other horses or other anlm.ls, nor any carriages or slaves, or other property, wero taken from tho plantation by tho expeditionary force, either with or without llw authority of tho commander. They add, however, that somo such nroncrtv a. 1. men. Honed by Mr. Bougcre was taken and used by tho slaves In making their night. Uavlng thus, nlih tbe utmost frankness, given to i on the representation, of tho trans action communicated by the Secretary of War to this Department, It remains only to say that I am Instructed to receive and to give duo weight to any corrections of those representa tions which Mr. Bongere shall be able to make, and that when tho case shall thus hare been fully developed, I shall apply to tho President for Instruction., with a view to n riellnltf. nnd. .. , . . :r..::z ::i. -, i trust, a uausiaciorr reply.
