been killed in Kentucky, but Gen.
Thomas A. Marshall, one of President

ought to have guessed that Hon. Tom
could not very well have been killed

of the raw materially The Louisville
Times of the 3lst ult has the following !:
"We receieed a telegraphic despatch
yesterday from Maysville, informing
us that Gen Thomas Marshall, of Lewis
county, was killed on the day before
in an affray with one of his tenants
named Tyler or Taylor. We were
not advised as to the particulars Of the
unfortunate affair"
The imprisonment Of the american
Consul at Acapulco.-Mr Mason ask
ed leave to withdraw the papers Of
Francis W. Rice American Consul at
Acapulco. He said the Committee
on Foreign Relations, at the late sess-
ion, found it impossible to act upon
them, together with the communication
of the President upon the subject
They show great and cruel oppression
there exercised by the Mexican au-
thorities. He was treated with indig-
nifty and eventually imprisoned, and
so far as information was received,
there has been no redress. The OBJ
iect of the withdrawal is to present the
papers to the Executive Department,
with view to redress. The motion
was agreed to.
Seizure of San Jusln.
These arrivals bring us intelli-
gence of the taking of Greytown
by the U. S. vessel Cyane, in conse-
quence of the violation Of the rights of
the american Transit Co located at
that place. This company had 'oca-
ted their buildings upon a spot of
ground regularly assigned to them, at
some distance from the town,--nearer
proximity being denied them. 1t was
afterwards found that the town was
losing its trade from the Americans
passing over the route on account of
the distance of the buildings from the
towns, and the authorities endeavored
to compel the Company to lecate near
er the city. On refusal q collision
took place, and some of the buildings
were destroyed by mob.
The Boston Journal says:
The land upon which the depots
were located had been occupied by the
Company since June. 1851 under
lease, according to one account from
the agent Of the Mosquito King, the
Company agreeing to vacate at any
time when the lands should be requir-
ed for other purposes. The other
side Of the story afiirms that the title
of the company was derived from the
State Of Nicaragua. However this
may be, it appears that the city mar
shal of San Juan, acting under the in
structions Of the authorities and with
the connivance Of the citizens, procee-
ded to the company's lands, and de-
molished some Of the buildings there
on. This was on the 21st of Febru>
ary, more than two weeks before the
arrival of the Cyane. The statement
put forth in behalf of the authorities of
San Juan omits ali mention of this
fact, which has most important bear
ing upon The subsequent proceedings
of the commander OF the U. S. sloop-
of-war.
Subsequently writ Of ejectment
was made out, and was to have been
served on the 18th of March. The
agent of the company having appar-
emily made up his mind TO resist the
authorities no longer, made prepara-
tions for the removal of The compa-
ny's Office to dismantled barque ly-
ing in the harbor, and the horses and
stores of the employees to the south
side of the bay in the town proper
In the meantime, however, the sloop-
tof-war Cyane arrived, and the COM
mander, as in duty bound, and proba-
bly, acting under instructions from our
government, determined to protect the
rights of the american company
This duty he performed in an efficient
manner. but whether his proceedings
were justifable is the point TO be de-
cided. According to the statement pnt
forth in behalf of the citizens, the ac-
ton of the Reconstructed govern
ment was regular and legal and Com
mander Hollins resisted the lawful
authorities and interfered to prevent
