There is ronch eicltcment to-day among the
Ppaolsh and Chilian authorities and merchants
in this city, and their sympathizers, respec
tively, concerning the steamship Meteor, whose
seizure, on suspicion that she was to enter the
Chilian service against Spain, was reported
' yesterday.
Ihe vessel lies at her wharf in South Brook
lyn, with steam tip, and at an early hour this
Alternoon her engines were working. 8h was,
. however,' in charge of Deputy United States
Marshal Davla, and cannot go to sea, though'
he was regularly cleared at tue Custom House
. yesterday, alter a lull examination, which
showed that she had nothing ot a suspicious
. character on board.
She is, as already reported, a very fine vessel,
perfectly adapted not merely for use as a priva
teer, but as a man-of-war. Having been built to
catch and capture the pirate Alabama, she does
not lack nnv of the qualities of a good war
vessel; and she is in all reupcets a perfect ship.
She was launched in May, 1H64, at Portsmouth,
Hew Hampshire, where sue was constructed lor
Ji. B. and J. M. Forbes (who are now her own
ers), and other men of Boston for the object
already stated. Her machinery was made m
(iiecnock, Scotland, but arrived here so late
that when the vessel was completed she was noc
Wanted tor the service lor wtiich her builders
intended her.
Aiterwards she became a merchant vessel, and
run between this city aud New Orleans. During
that time she had on board two I'arrott navy
pur, which were orieinully to have been a part
ot brr armament; but thse were recently taken
off, ana she ha9 now no arms.
The size ot the vcbspI Is as follows: Leneth,
2C1 leet ; width. 34 leet 8 Inches; depth, 1H leet 4
inches; and her measurement Is 1481) tous. All
her machinery is below the water line.
The agents ot the vessel, Messrs. Wuliam Cary
A Co., have acted with extreme care; and they
assert that the present contemplated voyage was
a strlctiy leaal one; that the vessel was in good
faith to be taken to Panama upon purely com
mercial business.
The owners, the Messrs. Forbes, make the
same allegations, so iar as any knowledge ot
theirs extends; and Captain Kemble insists that
the snspicions that have been expressed that he
would tiansler the vessel at sea to some other
man, are totally unfounded. He declares that
his agrecmi'Ot was to take the vessel to Panama;
and that he will do this it permitted unless
washed into the sea, or the vessel should sink
under hira.
The owners of the vessel and the agents intend
to prosecute the Government officers who de
tained the Meteor. They claim tnat naving com
plied ia all respcct3 with the law, any action
against them, founded on suspicion, munt be
taken at the peril of the persons concerned.
The Jlrst legal proceedings in this case were

On this complaint a blank "libel of informa
tion" was rilled out at the District Attorney's
office with these words:
"That the steamship Meteor has been fitted out
to commit hostilities against the Government of
Spain, in violation of the neutrality act ol Con
gress of 1818."
Judge Betts, of the United 8tates District
Court, on this complaint, issued a "monition"
to United States Marshal Murray to seize tbe
Meteor, This monition was a simple order.
There are other proofs in this case besides the
complaint, which cannot be mode public,
AMENDED LIBEL OF INFORMATION.
The libel ol information was deemed insuffi

United States District Court. It is as follows:

Matamorab, Mexico, January 4. "Shall we
have a war In Mexico?" is the question over the
border. "Will the United States asst.it us in ex
pelling th- Invaders ol our soil?" ask the Lib
erals. "Will America declare war agntnit Maxi
milian?" inquire loregn powers. Who can
answer these questions? It is reported that
General Oi ant said that Maximilian must leave
Mexico. That looks like war, eurely, from a
military point of view. "We shall have no war,"
said the Secretary of fetate to a friend recently.
That is not a warlike riew, surely, from an ad
ministrative point of view. .
One report is wafted to us from Washington,
that all the troops in Texas (with the exception
of three or lour regiments) are to be mustered
out immediately, while at the samo time a regi
ment ol engineers, with a pontoon train, are
under orders at Galveston to proceed to tno Rio
Grande. What is the use of a regiment of engi
neers and a pontoon train on the Kio Grande
without troops, and what use is made of troops
mm tered out, except return them to their homes
Several officers over the river have been pro
moted recently, for whut ? to be mustered out
with their commands, or ornament the corporal's
guard lclt on the Itio Grande, and superintend
tho engineers and the laying ot the pontoons.
Among the officers promoted are Major-Generals
Weitzel and G. A. Smith, the former breveted
Brigadier General in the regular army, and the
latter a full Maior-General ot Volunteers. All of
the above questions I leave to be answered by
your readers, as your correspondent is unable to
"solve the problem."
I am enabled to give you the full particulars
of the recent capture of a party of Liberals neur
this city, which has caused the correspondence
between Generals Weitzel and Meia relative to
their execution. Two or three days ago thirteen
laden wagons left this city for San Fernando,
under a small euard. When some ten or twelve
miles lrom Matamoras, the guard was surprised,
and the wagons captured. Unfortunately, one
man escaped, link Down to tbe Liberals. This
man hastened to Matatnoras, and laid the facts
belore General Mejia, who instantly despatched
a squad of cavalry in pursuit, who overtook them
about daylight the next day, about thirty miles
lrom the city. The Liberal party were com
pletely taken by surprise, the lirst nows of the
presence of an enemy being a severe cross-fire
lrom the Imperialists, which killed and wounded
fifteen or twenty of the party. After a slight
skirmish the remainder were captured, and w ith
the recaptured wagons brought to Matamoras.

airaid that General Wcitzel's kluu uiierierence
will not save the poor fellows lrom v'tQalh, as
trial, sentence, and execution follow fa lo
Mexico to those who are fighting for country an.d
liberty. Mejia probably acts on the principle
that two liberal parties or policies cannot acreo
in Mexico, and so uses all his power to extin
guish the one lor tne existence ot ine otner.

iou nave proDaoiy neara ere tins oi tue reoc
cupation ot Monterey by the French, Monterey
appears to do oi consiaerauie importance vo tne
opposition force outside its waiis; but of no use
to those in possession of the city, except to levy
"lorced loans" aaa then evacuate; when tbe
other party enters, takes possession, continues
the same game, and so the play eoes on sport
to the "sons ot Mars," but financial death to the
pockets of the unfortunate citizens.
Indeed, so alarming has the state ot affairs
become in Monterey, that the better portion of
the population are removing from the city to
San Luis l'otosl, taking with them their specie
and all valuable movable goods. Not unfro
quently these parties are waylaid by roving
bands of guerillas or deserters from either party,
robbed of all they possess, and sometimes mur
dered because they do not have more to elve
these cold-blooded cormorants. I need scarcely
state that with this state ot affairs in Monterey,
business in that city is almost entirely destroyed,
the inhabitants living in a perpetual "reign of
terror."
We have lust heard the news here of Juarez,
Negrete, and other generals and officers of the
Liberal army crossing the Rio Grande Into Texas
at Eagle Pass. This news has caused considera
ble excitement and no little speculation among
the Imperialists as to the cause of this important
visit on the part of President Juarez and some
of his most distinguished officers to your soil.
From their actions and conversation, it is easy
to see that it "bodes them no good;" an1, to
tell you the truth, I am a little uneasy myself
about this movement, and believe that Washing
ton is their destination.
The night before last an affair of a very serious
nature occurred, which may result in a declara
tion of war from one power or the other on
either side of the Rio Grande, if not imme
diately attended to. I refer to an exchange of
shots across the river, in which it is stated that
one or two persons were wounded. It appears
that a shot was tired from the American side,
when the pickets on this side immediately dis
charged their pieces.
As might be expected, an answering volley
rang from the "Yankees," which was kept up
by the parties for some time, until the affair ter
minated by "authority." At first It was sup
posed that one of the American pickets fired at
one of the "Imperial" pickets, but news arrived
yestprday from over the river that a party of
General Crawford's command, acting under his
orders, were in the act of embarking for this
side, lor the purpose of capturing a gunboat
moored near the city, and that a musket was
accidentally di'chareed, which resulted as de
scribed above, and of course frustrated the in
tended capture ol the gunboat.

ea?ed in. cat) affair were arrested by General

Headquarters Department op Virginia,
Richmond, January 2t, 18Gti. By a statute law
passed at the present session ot the Legislature
of Virginia, entitled A bill provi ling for the
punishment of vagrants," it is enacted, among
other tnings, tnat any justice oi vuo
upon tbe complaint ol any one of certain
officers therein named, may issue his warrant
for the apprehension ot any person alleged
to be vaerant, and cause such person to be ap
prehended and brought belore him, and that if,
upon due examination, suia justice ut react;
shall find that such person is a vagrant within
the debnition ot vagrancy contained in said
statute, ho shall issue his warrant directing such
person to be employed for a term not exceeding
three months, and by any constame oi tne county
wherein the proceedings are had, be hired out lor
the best wages which can be procured, his wages
to be applied to the support of himself and his

in case any vaeraut so hirtd shall, during
his term of service, run away lrom bis employer
without sutliclcnt cause, be shall be apprehended
on the warrant ot a Justice of the Peace, and re
turned to the custody of his employer, who shall
then have, tree of any further hire, the services
oi such vaerant for one month, in addition to
the original term of hiring, and that the era-
loyer shall then have power, it authorized by a
ustice of the Peace, to work such vagrant with
ball and chain. The said statute specifies the
persons who shall be considered vagrants, and
be liable to the penalties imposed by it. Among
those declared to be vagrants are:
All net-sons who. not havincr the wherewith to
support their families, live idly and withnfut em
ployment, rciuse to worn tor me usual ana
common wages given to other laborers for the
like work in the place where the are.
In many counties of this State meetings of
employers have been held, and unjust and
wrongful combinations have been entered into
for the purpose of depressing the wages of the
rreedmen below the real value of their labor,
and lar below the prices formerly paid to mas
ters' lor labor performed by their slaves. By
reason of these combinations, wages utterly in
adequate to the support of themselves and
their laouliea have in many places be
efjme the usual and c6ulttion waces of
the frecdmen. The effect of the statute in
queston will be therefore to compel the I'reed
men, under penalty of punishment as criminal -i.
to accept aud labor tor the wages established
by the combinations of employers. It places
them wholly in thej power of their employers,
and it is easy to foresee that eveu where no such
combination now exists, the temptation to form
them offered ty the statute will.be too strong
to be resisted, and that such inadequate
wages will become the common and usual wages
throughout the State. The ultimate etiect of
the statute will be to reduce the freedraen to a
condition ot servitude worse than that from
which they have been emancipated, a condition
which will be slavery in all but its name. It is
therefore ordered that no magistrate, civil offi
cer, or other person shall in any way or manner
apply or attempt to apply the provision of said
statute to any colored person in this department.

AMUSEMENTS,
Abcti Btrht Thuatrb. Miss Hosmer should
bay made her debut In this city in Fazio, it is to far
tnperior to her "Camillo." Miss Hosmer who,
after all, Is no novice on the staie has been from
the Ant badly directed. She bas learned in a very
bad school. She hit leen tsnzht to rant she has
b n tanrht lo pervert the advantages gtie possevos,
rather than to make nte of them, but with all these
drawbacks, We consider that if she has any special
talent it is for hwh tragedy. Hut then it must be
dignity, anger, Jealousy, not love or tenderness, that
is the ruling passion, lor in these two last sentiments,
as in pathos, she In utterly wantinr.
1 he last act of Misi Ilosmer'i "Ibanca" is the best,
perhaps, because, being mad, her exaggeration is
not out oi place. Miss Hosmor'a worst scene was
the scene oeloro the judges, when she was wanting
in earnestrors at d dignity. Whon she denounces
ber husband It is nnder the influence of a wild, mad
donlur Jealousy, r-he should be bitter, earnest, and
determined t instead ot which, Hiss Hosmer is hum
ble and subdued ber pasHion already past. Some
portion of tho long soliloquy was given with IntoUI
gem e and feeling; but Miss Hosmer must cure her
sell ol using those squeaking head tones. Her voice
is one, and if she would take the deep tones and
speak in a whisper the effect would bo far greater.
Mi-1 Hosmer has a grand fine person for tragedy t
her lace is handsomo in repose, expiesslon distorts
it. Tbe niter lack ot fire in tbo eye takes away from
its magnetism, but Miss Hoam.r can be statuesque,
gland, Imposing slio should be chair ot her ges
tures; reposa, dignity, and earnestness should be tbe
three qualities she shou d aim at. Certainly, to tea
Hiss Hosmer in Fazio should be far more lenient
in judging of her claims than to see her in Camitle.
Still we cannot accord to Hiss Hosmor a high rank,
but we say that she is far less ob)octinable In tragedy
than in modern drama. Miss Hosmer repeats Fazio
