No litde surprise was oocasioned last evening ia the East river by the appearance ef the sew revenue cutter Harriet Lane, ander comm,nd of Captain Faance, beaded down the river, and having in tew the yacht Wanterer ‘and the schooner Charter Oak. Some thought that the vesse's belonged to the government, and that Mr Wobb’s latest achievement in the way of ship building had been condemned to serve as a tow boat; while others indalged im various eurmises as to the cause of the novel spectacle. The fact was, that Captain Faunce bad been on a cruise up the Sound, and bad seized the Wanderer on saspicion of being about to rail on a slaving expedition, and the Caar- ter Oak, loaded with stores, which it is alleged were to be put on board the Wanderer. ‘The Wanderer bas been for some days cruising about the Sound, and excited the suspicions of Surveyor Norton, of Port Jefferson, and others, as did also the schooner Charter Osk. The vessels were vigilant'y watched, and after careful surveillance it was determined thas an illegal ‘voyage was contemplated. Steps were accordingly taken to arrert them; and on an affidavit of Mr Norton, setting forth the fects and hie suspicions, the United States Dis. trict Attorney took ateps to atiend to the matter promptiy The new revenue cuter Lane was lying off Staten Island, and Capt Faunce, who has become semewhat cele. brated for his services in catchiog aileged slevers, re- ceived orcers to take @ craise in search of the suspected vessels. Acoordingly, sbortiy after 11 o’clock on Tucatay morning he got under way, an¢ slowly made his way up the East river, Bell Gate, into the Sound. About eight o'clock recetved intelligence from captain of the Lightship that there was another vessel besides the Wanderer carrying stores, intenced for we latter, which had been lying off Port Jeff reo, and he accordingly stood up the Sound to search of ber. He ran veer Port Jeffuraon and sent off amal) beat, about 127. M., te see whether the Wanderer was still there.
