RRcoyERr OF Losr TREAsuHEs.-An
expedition was lately fitted out from Gardi-
ner, in Maine, to search for lost treasure on
the cost Of Venezula. In lSl4, the Spanish
ship San Pedro, of 81 guns, was blown up,
containing a large amount of treasure
The specie was stored near the magazine,
and in the explosion which ensued, it was
scattered out of the stern of the ship, like
shot from gun. The company obtained
permission OF the government to seek for
the treasures, by giving certain per cent.
Of what was recovered. They found the
wreck in sixty feet water, strewsd in frag-
ments. Two men descended at a time in a
diving bell. and were able to remain down
for several hours at time. The coin was
found scattered in all directions, buried in
the sand This sand was scooped up to
the depth Of six inches and siited, and the
diving bell moved about at pleasure, In
this manner about an acre OF ground was
searched and sifted The silver was black
ened BY the action Of the sea water, and
has decreased in weight about twenty per
cent The amount OF treasure obtained the
party do not disclose, but report says that
eighty heavy boxes were brought on shore.
The company had commenced work on the
ship itself when rumor was brought them
that the Government intended to seize the
avails of their labor, when they concluded
to pack up and sail for home. The enter
prise well illustrates the adventurous spir-
it Of the people of Maine.
