FROM CENTRAL AMERIcA.-The brig Francis,
Captain Roberts, has arrived in thirty days from Rio
Saada, in Central America We learn from Cap
tain Roberts, that the port of San Juan was block
aded on the 9Th of July by the British soop of war
Hector, in consequence OF alleged insults offered
certain British Subjects well as the Imprisonment
OF several British residents. Captain Roberts was
of that place on the 10th Of July, and tried to enter
the harbor, but was prevented by the sloop of war
The blockaders demand 500, 900 as an indemnity
for the wrongs received, when in fact, the place
cannot muster two hundred thousand cents Capt
Roberts thinks the only compensation they could
obtain, would be the loss of their crew, as it was
rather sickly. The brig America, hence for San

slice of himself to make up the balance. 1t is a
rare thing in these degenerate days to find anything
original and Mike is a perfect original-a true
genius, and no mistake. He is trump card, and
we must play him of upon all occasions hereafter,
and he must hold himself in readiness accordingly,
when called for. His speech at Castle Garden on
Monday night has been pronounced the richest
thing in political oratory that has been heard in a
long time. And hereafter, the very name of Mike
Walsh as one of the orators, will be sure to bring
crowd to any political meeting and attentive and
delighted auditory, provided he always makes such
speeches as that. We must have a committee 10
