BUENOS AYRES.

.4pril 18th 1891.
The undersigned, agen, o! the U States
Of North America, has received the notes
which the secretary Of the government and
treasury did him the honor to- address to
him, under date OF Esd Of March last, by
the order Of his excelency the. governor
and captain general of The provinces Of
Buenos Ayres.
The undersigned appreciates very highly
the professions of respect for the govern
nent of the United States, Of desire to cul-
tivate its friendship, and of favorable dis
positions toward Tie citizens Of said states,
and their commerce with this country,
which are made in the name and behalf OF
his excellency the governor and captain
general, in said note, and placing the most
entire confidence in the sincerity of those
professions, the undersigned most willingly
believes that any and every measure incom-
patible with them when taken in his excel
lency's name. must be an abuse of bis au-
thority, and without his knowledge and
consent.
Thus when every day brings to the COM
misseration of the undersigned the cries Of
his fellow citizens, forcibly torn from their
lawful pursuits, and dragged either igno.
miniously TO prison. or reluctantly to war
to which they are and ought to he stran-
gen, the promptness with which bis excel.

From tile Salem Gazette.

CAPT. JOHN LAMBERT.
In the year 1911 Jonathan Lambert, Of
Salem, took possession of the desolate Is-
land of Tristan Acunha, in the Southern
Atlantic Ocean, and issued on that occa
sion manifesto drawn up in strict d..
plomatic form, which was signed by his
chief minister, another American sailor,
whose name was Andrew Millet. Lam.
bert had much practical seamanship, and
was many times a ship master in the mer.
chant serylce.-He was son of the late
Capt.. Jonathan Lambert, of this town
hso much native genius, some degree OF
science, and was no mean poet he also
possessed romantic spirit Of enterprise.
lie perished some years since, in passing
from one island to another, by the over.
settins OF his boat.
Captain Samuel Lambert informs US,
that 1t was IN September 1910 that his
brother Jonathan sailed from Boston with
Capt J. Lowell, to establish himself at
4tsstran d. Acunha, at which Island he
had stopped and remained six weeks some
few years before, when in command Of
sealing vessel and it was from the obser.
vations he made at that time of the nat.
ural advantages of the island and its con.
venient situation for supplying refresh
ments to ships traversing that ocean, that
he formed the determination of making
an establishment there, and he had been
for twelvemonth endeavoring to procure
the means Of carrying his design into
execution, before he succeeded with Capt.
Lowell. The exact time of Capt. Lam
bert's death we do not recollect. Capt
Bryant of this town, wrote from Amster
dam, July IL, 1916, that he had seen Capt
b. Beville. Of Hastings, England, who
went by the order of the Governor St.
Helena to Tristan d'Acunha to enquire
into the cause of Capt, LIS death, and the
information he procured was, that he went
out fishing with two other men, andwa
never heard of after. He said that he had
at home all Capt. LIS papers, and that
they had been copied by order of the Dr.
rectors of the e. l. Company, and vera
considered very valuable which Captain
Bryant also thought they must be, from
Beville's account of them, and from the
| we'll known intelligence of Capt. Lam,
bert Capt. Beville stated, that they had
at the island at the time 1870 casks OF ele'
plant oil, and fowls, vegetables, &c. suit
Gent to supply 80 sail Of vessels.
When Capt. Lambert left Rio Janelr0'
on the way to his new dominions, he was
furnished by MIR. Pintard, the American
Consul at that place, with the frame OF :
house and other conveniences and was
also supplied by Capt J. Briggs, OF TINS
town, who was then at Rio, with sunory
necessaries for his intended settlement
Captain Briggs afterwards received letts"
from Lambert, the latest date Feb. lS9ii
in which he gave particular descriPe0D
| of the island, and an account OF his I'D.
provement. He described the climate -
of charming temPe<ature-nsVer y

dering projects. The intelligence by the
Leopard states, that the French are very
vlgilant in catching privateers and their
prizes; bu, that still the privateers frequent
" elude them. 1t is then stated. that a
few days before the Leopard sailed, a rich
prize to Com. Daniels small brig, had ia
ken brig said to be from Vera Cruz, with
hundred and forty-two thousand dollars 10
specie, and eocbineal, indigo and dry goods
to the amount of TWO hundred thousand
dollars, on board, which came of the
harbor--that the governor interdicted all
communication with them, and in the alb
sence Of the French ships. the prize pro-
ceeded TO some Of the keys and discharged
and that another Vera Cruz vessel had been
driven into the harbor Of St. Eustatia by the
French cruisers. where she was taken pos
session of, and the cargo sold at auction, by
order Of the Governor, for the benefit OF the
owners.
These statements certainly indicate,
what we have long believed would 10 the
end prove to be the fact, that more or less
of the neutral islands in the West Indies
would wink at, il they did not positively
encourage, this piratical trade. The in.
hsbitanis of these islands PROBABLY find it
profitable to open their ports, as far as may
be without endangering their own security,
to the use oil these sea-ro 1bers, and there
fore the governments are perhaps desirous
OF taking as few steps to check or discou-
rage their depredations as the nature Of the
case, and their own situation, will in any
way justify.
1t is certainly much to be regretted, that
so much evil to the whole civilized world
should have grown out ofthe unsettled state
of things in South America. If the mischief
had all rested upon the heads Of the Span
iards and Portuguese, il might be borne with
more patience, as they are directly iuteres-
ted in the struggle, But whatever may be
their deserts, in its strictness, furnishes no
justification for bad men, from all countries,
who avail themselves OF the opportunity to
accumulate estates by plumber and robbery.
But that our countrymen are suffered, and
to great extent with impunity, TO engage
in this worse than Algerine piracy, is a
modification, as well as disgrace to our
country. Recent accounts state, that Nor
throp has been seized and imprisoned. II
this be true, il is to be hoped that justice
will reward him for his multiplied iniqu,ies.
But il is much more to be desired, that the
naval powers should by common consent
employ cruizers enough on the proper sta
tions. TO sweep these picaroons from the
face Of the ocean.
