            Lieutenant Tyler, a native of Virginia, who has been attached to the United States sloop-of-war Saratoga, on the coast of Africa, but came to New York in charge of the prize slaver Nightingale, was arrested in that city on Sunday, and turned over to Commodore Breese at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, for calling the President a baboon, Gen. Scott worse names, and for talking treason generally.  He was, it is said, trying to purchase a lot of revolvers to take to Virginia.  He is held subject to orders of the authorities at Washington.
