NEW ORLEANS, Jan. l5th.--The difficulty
between the citizens OF San Juan, or Grew
town, and the Vanderbilt Nicaragua Transit
Company, is becoming quite serious The
depot Of the Transit Company Is located on
a point across the river from Greytown, and at
this depot the company has siores, with sup
plies of all descriptions, which are furnished TO
passengers going either way, thus completely
monopolizng this branch ofthe trade, and cut
Ting OFF the citizens Of the town from all Par,i.
cipation in lie benefits. Numerous complaints
had been made, which were unheeded, and the
citizens, becoming exasperated, threatened
that, unless the depot was removed to Grey.
town, open warfare should be resorted TO, TO
check the moHopoiy, for which purpose cam
non and ammunition had been procured, with
the determination TO tear ii down.
MIR. Baldwin, the agent OF the Company, had
been arrested and imprisoned on the charge OF
using threatening language, but was subse-
quently released. On the 9Th instant, accord.
ing TO private letters received, the inhabitants
oil Greytown sent body of armed men, in
structed TO destroy or remove the depot. Al
ter destroying considerable property, they tc ok
down and insulted the American flag, and gave
notice that they would demolish the whole
building on the 10th, if il was not removed
within The limits of the town. Great excite.
ment prevailed, and the Transit Company had
refused all intercourse with the town and de-
clared IFS determination TO convey none OF its
citizens to New York.
