The particulars of this news were given at length,
On the authority Of Captain Ellery, who form erly
commanded the steamer Orus, in this neighborhood.
A meeting, it was stated, held at San Juan,
composed Of some of the principal inhabitants Of
that city; and it further stated that it was at
tended by the British Consul and the Captain Of
the Port, and that preliminary proceedings were
taken for the organization Of municipal govern

any prospect fer such a sudden evacuation by the
