Alleged insulis---Tle Army and Navy Chroni-
Gle denies, upon good authority, that any insult
was intended to our Government by the authori-
ties in Mantanzas. A mistake occurred between
Captain Van Brunt and the Governor, but i! was
soon discovered and reconced.
The case of the United States brig Boxer, is
far from an intended insult The police of the
city arrested some seamcn of the Boxer for COM
mi,ting n riot, and could not release them upon
the demand of the Captain--they had higher au.
thority over them, the laws.
| The Chronicle says it is admitted that nothing
can exceed the courtesy and kindness with which
Americans are treated by the inhabitants of Gu
bu. How idle is it then 10 trAle with this good
will by heated paragraphs, founded upon mis-
takes like that we have cited.
Dan O'Connel and Gen. J. Gordon Bennet.-
Poor Bennct-what blow /! Thus to be knocked
upon the head by the distinguished Repeaer-
the great Agitator--the greatest Lion Of the age
| and the universe. In Bcnncl's own account, we
find that the "American gentlemen" paid a shil.

the great monarch Of that community. The lit

tail'' behind his legs and sloped, and made rapid
speed out Of "oud Ireland" But so soon as he
got breath he takes his turn at O'Connel, in q
long letter to the London Times, by giving his ac-
count Of tho " real mo,ivcs' for Mr.. O'Connel's
conduct. lie Damcs Gordon Bcnnet) ike1 near

America to Ireland. He (Bennet) ropellcd the
outrageous assaults Of Dan upon our slavery in
st'tu,ions He exposed Dams hypocrisy and hum
buggery to the American Irish. Dan knew all
this, and for it, insulted him. 1t is strange that
after all this Bennett sought O'Connels acquain-
tance. 1t is stranger still, that Bennett done all he
says he did, through the Herald. We never knew
it before. So roll on Gordon.
