THE ALLEGED INSULT AT SAN JUAN
DISAVOWED.
The steamer Pronetheus, which has just
returned TO New York, on her last trip out
ward arrived at San Juan on the 18Th ult,
and found there the United States steamer
Saranac and the sloop- Of war Albany; al
so, the English steam friga.e Arrogant, the
the sloop-oiwar Calypso, and the brig Er-
press. A TeIegraphic despatch from New
ork says:
"The Arrogant has been dispatched by the
British Admiral to the West India station
with assurances to Com. Parker that the
British Government entirely dlsavowed and
CONDEMNED the acts Of the British Consul and
Captain Of the Express in the exercise Of
any authority whatever in interfering in any
way with The foreign commerce of San Juan,
and tina, the conduct Of he latter in de,an-
ing The Pfome,heus aud firing a shot across
her was Unauthorized and heartily con-
Aemned.
"The mos, friendly feelings existed be-
tween the officers of the ships Of both coun-
tries. Salutes were exchanged on the l6lb,
on the interchange Of visits by the COM
manders of the national ships, and Com.
PARKER was highly complimented by Capt.
ROBINSON, Of the Arrogant, hosting The A
mercan ensign at the mainmast during the
salute. The compliment was returned by
the Albany, with the English ensign q. the
manmsst.
"Assurances were given by Com. PARKER
to the British officers tina, the difficulty rela-
tive to the whole Mosquito question was
progressing amicably 10 a satisfactory ad-
jus,men,, and that 20 doubt existed that it
would be speedily settled to the satisfaction
of all parties.
''The Saranac and Arrogant were to leave
San Juan in few days.
1.-THE Uoited States sloop- ofwar Cyane
was expected daily from Chagres to relieve
the Albany"
The following we extract from letter to
to the editors of the Baltimore Sun, dated
Paris, January 9Th -
Las. Sunday the great and imposing cere-
mony Of the TIE Deum was performed, at
The old cathedral, for The election of the
the President and the preservation of the
Republic. 1t was, indeed, magnificent, af
fair. The large space in front of the Ca
thedral and the Hotel Dieu was covered
with awnings of the richest description and
decorated with tapestry most tastefuly ar
ranged. This immense space and the large
Cathedral was filled to OVERLOOKING.
The President with his whole suit, Of
course, attended, and had an excellent. OPP
por,unity Of seeing him. He is very much
| like the numerous prints you have of him
rather thinner. His manner is calm and
collec,ed-hs eye was rather resless.-
This, suppose, was owing some wha. TO
the anxiety he Eel, to know how the people
would receive him, this being the frs, grand
occasion he has made his appearance since
the coup d'etat. The whole affair passed
off well, and he was applauded 10 the echo.
AT the grand fele given al the Hotel de Vile,
by The Prefec, of the Seine, in honor Of the
President, he was unable TO attend, being
prevented by sickness, as the papers stated
the next day. 1t was indeed a most bfjli-
ant and sumpluous banque,-ail the mar
shals and ministers Of Paris were there, and
eigh,y-sx departments Of France were repre-
scented by their mayors. To prevent any
disappointment, however, from the absence
of the President, his bus, was placed a, the
lower end of The grand saloon, fes,ooned
with drapery bearing the imperial eagles
The grea, functionaries of Paris presided at
the differen, tables, and, after the toas.s were
drank and responded to, there were loud
and repeated cafes of "long live Napolean,
the savior Of France" ! mention these
things to show, ss think, the tendency of
national affairs here; and am rather in
cined to believe tina. the French Republic,
as i. is called, will soon give place either TO
regal or an imperial one.
