Nag shlp,l and soop OF war Cyane but we separa-
ted from them and bore up for this port, on the Sc
venth day out Just previously 10 departure two
Bnsh ships of war, the razee Dublin and the slooP
of war Champion, sailed from Callao on secret ser
vice. OF course, this mysterious movement oil Ad-
miral Thomas elected thousand conlectures as 10

ment OF British post at that point would be so ha-
zardous 10 the peace and security OF our frontier,
and so manltesty detrimental to the Interests OF
the whole Union, that Commodore Jones doubtless
conceives he would be derect in the discharge of
the responsible powers vested in him By the govern

scope of his command TO Illustrate, if possible, so
dangerous an encroachment on the western border
OF our territories 1t Is certain to make
very brief stay here and sail hence for Monte
hey, where we expect TO meet the flag ship and the
Cyane.
