The Steamship Prometheus-Anegcd Rrltish Out

The following letter from Capt Churchill detail
ing the circumstances of the firing into the Prone
theus by English brig of war, will be read with
interest. 1t is but short time since the U. States
mail-steamship Falcon fired at by a Spanish
steamer on the coast of Cuba. A similar summary
process has now been resorted to by an English
val officer apparently under the auspices of his Ma
jesty the Mosquito King. Can the administration
find time in any way to indicate the opinion that
such treatment of the American flag is not altogeth
er proper ?-Wash. Union.
STEAMSHIP PRoMErHEUs,
San Juan, Friday, Nov. 81, 1851. !
In order to correct any misstatement that may be
made of the circumstances of the English brig of
Express firing into the Prometheus, beg Of
you to give the following statement an insertion in
your paper:
At2P M, proceeded to get my ship under way
to proceed to sea- having received the last of
passengers from the Pacific steamer, numbering in
all about five hundred. At this moment, the city
authorities of Grey they stated.
by the authority of the Mosquito King-came on
board the ship with police force, and served pro-
cess of attachment on the ship and myself for the
amount of S123 claimed by the authorities for pre-
sent and arrearage port dues charged on the ship,
which we supposed to be illegally demanded, and
had consequently refused to pay Them as did in the
present instance.
The port dues are made up from the weight of an
chorage in the harbor captain of the port fees and
pilotage.
hove up my anchor and dropped down the har-
Dor with the current, having alongside of the
river steamers, receiving from her the baggage of
the passengers. The English brig of war, lying a
short distance from us, Immediately got under way,
made sail for us, and when within quarter of a
mile from US, fred round shot our forecaste,
not clearing the wheel-house ten feet In few
moments, another shot was fired. which passed over
the stern SO that the force of the ball dis
tinctly felt by several passengers sent boat on
board the brig to inquire the of firing into
The captain stated it was to protect the authori
ties of Grey Town in their demands and if we did
not Immediately anchor he would fire bomb sheiiinto
u.s. and ordered his guns loaded with grape and can
lister shot; at the same time small steamer left
u.s. and proceeded under steam back to our anchor
age and anchored. The brig stood up the harbor
and anchored very us, sent a boat on board Of
us with orders that our fires should be put out and
that an officer would be sent to that the fires
were extinguished The shore authorities then came
ON board, and under the circumstances Of the case
the amount demanded paid under protest, and
we were permitted to proceed TO by the captain
of the brig.
Respectfully, your obedient servant.
