The seizure of the New Orleans Mint, &c.
There can be no doubt of the truth of the seizure of the New Orleans mint and customhouse by the Louisiana revolutionists, that comes this morning by telegraph. To-day, the Treasury Department were notified by Adams & Co.'s express, that A. J. Guirot, the Superintendent of the New Orleans mint, and Assistant United States Treasurer there, had refused to pay a draft of the Department for $300,000, placed in their hands for transfer to Philadelphia. It is supposed at the Department, that in these seizures a million of the money of the Government have fallen into the hands of the revolutionists. Guirot's answer, on the presentation of the draft, was that ‘"the money in his custody was no longer the property of the United States, but of the Republic of Louisiana."’--Washington Star, Saturday.
