ARRIVAL OF THE U. S. SNIP LEXINGTON

at Norfolk on Tuesday, So days from Valparaiso,
and 45 from Rio. Left at Callao, 9Th Feb. u.
S. ship Constitution, Capt Claxton, officers and
crew all well, about to sail for Valparaiso, and
The U. S. sloop ST. Louis, Commander French
Forrest, had arrived upon the coast, and had
sailed with dispatches for Panama. The Shark,
1t. Commandant Bigelow, had also arrived.
A communication to the Editors of the Nor
folk Beacon furnishes tine following particulars:
The Lexington has been absent nearly three
years, having sailed from Boston, goth August,
1887, during which time we learn she has per-
formed more actual service, than any of our
men of war. She has run over $4,000 miles and
has been Sic days at sea, cruizing and touching
at the different ports Of Chill, Peru, Columbia,
and Mexico, crossing the equator four several
times, exposed to variety of dangers and vicis-
STUDIES, without having lost Tuan by accident
or casualty Her arrival upon the csast of Mex
leo in September, 1888, was hailed with the
most rapturous demonstrations ofjoy by those OF
our countrymen whose interests and possessions
were upon the eve Of being sacrificed to the pill
laying propensities Of the redoubtable and some
what notorious Gen. Urea, of Texan memory
His plans were thus defeated, and the rights and
property of our citizens secured. The vigorous
measures pun sued by Capt Clack rendering all
| subsequent attempts useless and abortive.
! The loss of the Sea Gull and her unfortunate
officers and crew placed beyond the possible
| lily of doubt. A careful survey of the Island
| Diego Raminez, upon which she supposed
to have been LOST and close examination of ali
| points contiguous, with the usual signals of re-
! lief being at hand, manifested, too clearly,
that the worldly suferings of those attached to
! this Inflated vessel are for ever at an end.
