Lieut.. Hunter has been tried by court h'ai"a
in the fleet, and has been dismissed the squadron
after reprimand.
The people of this interesting republic mad al
ready tried Lieut.. Hunter, and had decided that
an 's order to blockade did not supersede the
right to capture every enemy within reach, and
that the capture of Alvarado was an act to be ad
mired Among the disinterested gentlemen of
the navy the verdict is thought to be foolish; for
they, with our citizens, admire grand results from
small means. There are several important circum-
stances connected with the capture of Alvarado,
which have not yet been made public. They will
place Lieut.. Hunter in higher position than he
now apparently occupies.
The committee of citizens who are preparing
a sword for Hunter extremely Jealous.
