~ Since the announcement Of WIN. J. Browns
appointment VIC have been thinking how curious Il
was that no one Of the distinguished memberx Of the
House. who participated in the exposure Of that indi
vdusl had received any mark Of favor at the hands
OF the President. Gen. Bayly and Col McMullen,
who bore prominent parts in that cruel inction
understood not to have q feathers weight with the
Administration. Mr.. 4. X. Meade, who also figured
on the OCCASION has been punished by ne offer Of
Office which bore moro the appearance Of ns alt than
compliment. Mr.. Bright Of Tndana-for his hostili-
ty to Brown, is OF no rcpute with the President,
Thoughts Senator, and his recommendations are stud
ously sighted. II would seem that the Brigadier
keeps a record Of that days proceedings by him
for the purpose Of indicating the wronged and per-
secuted Brown.
The only exception, that occurs to us, is that Of
Commodore Sawyer, OF the Norfolk Argus-but his
offence was not on the Congressional record. In
his paper Of the 10th December, 1s49, he thus cx-
pressed himself with respect to the Presidents "a

We have noticed that some of our
contemporaries are very vehement
and very naturally so. allowing the
newspaper statements of the affair to
be correct--in their remarks upon the
treatment of Capt. McCerran, of the
ship Defiance, and other American
ship masters. by the Peruvian authori-
ties at the Chincha Islands. As the
comments referred to appear to be bas-
ed upon information of an ex partc cha
racter. they may unduly prejudice pub
lie opinion against the Peruvian Go
vernment. From information which
we have ourselves received. however.
we are inclined to believe that it will
ultimately appear that some Of The crew
Of the Defiance violated regulation a [
the Islands which has been long estab.
lished, and ought tohave been known bv
every person visiting them and that
Capt. McCerran himself knowingly and
wilfully transnressed another of those
regulations. Our information, howev-
er, also leads us to entertain no doubt
that the commander of the Peruvian
guard slip at tn Islands was arbitrary
and harsh in his proceedings. FIR
this he was justly removed from oiiice
BY the Peruvian Government, which
will no doubt make as ample repara-
ton to the injured parties and to the
United States government as the lat
ter would, had citizens of Peru been
treated in a SIMILAR manner BY one of
our own 0iiicers. Naiionai Intel.
