form the British Consul-Genera and the Admiral
OF the West lndla Station of the Sc events. The
citizens organized Committee of Safety.
Upon this arrival of the steamers Pamnero and
Star of the West, police fo ce, consisting of the
Cyane's boats, was established around these
steamers, and 10 boats of any fig permitted to

The correspondent of the Tribune writes
Thus was the territory inVaded-tEus was ono
of the pillars of the Monroe doctrine. which had
established itself here, dislodged, and those bo
had delighted to call themselves Americans
Obliged to cry aloud to the cross of St George for
protection from outrage by a vessel of war of
their own bOasted flag. Thus is that British inHu
ence which had been gradually expelled from this
lsthmus to he restored and thus is the Mosouito
question still further complicated
Great Britain will not be tame to the invasion
by an armed force OF the United States, of terri !
ry over which she holds the proteciorate and
in the same waters where in the enforcement of
Legitimate port charge of paltry sum of 1876
against an American merchant vessel, she was
Inundated, aud made to apologize.
The Commander of the Cyane has assumed a
very grave sponsbility in thus violating a well
understood international law, by landing an
armed force in time of peace on foreign soil
Here where wholesome laws and good order
prevailed now exists no law at all--pO protection
to person or property.
