Banks, Ex-Governor of Massachusetts, who had lately been appointed a Major-General of Volunteers, was assigned to the command of the Department of Annapolis, with his Headquarters at Baltimore; and on the 10th of June he succeeded Cadwalader, who joined the expedition under General Patterson. See page 521. It soon became so evident to Banks that the Board of Police, and Kane, See page 281. the Chief of that body, were in active sympathy, if not in actual complicity, with the conspirators,
