I then asked if he would give up his horse, saddle, bridle, watch, and one hundred guineas; he said yes. I asked him if he would not give more, and he said he would give any quantity of dry goods, or any sum of money, and bring it to any place we might pitch on so that we might get it." Upon which Paulding answered: " No, by God, if you would give us ten thousand guineas you shall not stir one step! " Andre was then ordered to remount his horse, and was taken by bis captors to Sand's Mills, North Castle, the nearest American post, and delivered with his papers to Lieutenant-Colonel John Jameson, of the 2d Eegiment Light Dragoons, who, in the absence of Colonel Sheldon, commanded the post. The captors, according to military custom, retained his watch, horse, and bridle, which they sold, and divided the money received for them among the party of seven. Jameson, who was bewildered by the discovery, injudiciously sent a message by Lieutenant Solomon Allen to General Arnold at the Robinson house, notifying him of the capture of Andre. Arnold, who was at breakfast with his wife and aide-de-camp, Major David S. Franks, when the messenger from Jameson arrived (it being about 0 a.m.), opened the letter, read it carefully, folded it, put it in his pocket, finished the remark which was on his lips when the messenger arrived, and excused himself to those at the table, saying that it was necessary for him to go immediately to West Point, and for the aides to inform General Washington on his arrival, which was hourly expected, that he would very soon return. His wife, observing his slight agitation, followed him to their chambers, where all was quickly revealed to her and she fell into an intermittent state of swoon and delirium, which lasted several hours.
