The PRoNETHEUs.-The regular correspond
ent at San Juan of the New York Tribune
says:
On the 2lst instant, just previous to the sail
ing of the Prometheus from this port the captain
of the port went aboard TO collect her port
charges for about six months, which by order OF
Captain Vanderbilt had been left unpaid, he
denying the right of" Mosquito" TO collect port
charges here. From the refusal Of the commo-
dore TO pay II. b. NJ brig Of war Express (hav.
ing been previously advised to hold herself in
readness) got under weigh, and fired blank
cartridge over The Prometheus. Sic then fired
a shot across the bows of the r., then fired shot
astern, and proceeded to the mouth of the har-
Dor and came to anchor.
The Prometbeus having weighed her anchor,
and being drif;ed toward the mouth of the har
Dor, changed her course and ran back 10 her an
chorage. Commodore Vanderbilt being unwil
ling TO leopard the lives Of his passengers by
further resistance, came ashore and paid the
charges under protest. The brig of war ran
alongside the Prometheus and anchored. Al
though there is universal feeling OF indignation
among the Americans here that an American
brig should in these lines of peace be brough,
to by " John Bull, yet every one acqoiesces thai
the Prometheus should pay port charges 1t is
n question, whether pation.h has the right IT,
lend her men-ofwar for the collection of civil
debts, but situated as Great Britain is nj this
moment, claiming and holding for Mosquito,
port so important as this haA become, and Of in
creasing importance too, ! canlo, see how she
could have done otherwise, without knocking
under to Uncle Sans fig and Commodore Van.
