ing OF tine TN from Dan juan uo ANiCHlhuEuus
| which place she left on the 29th ult.
The inhabitants of San Juan have commenced
rebuilding their town, but most the influential
| men have left for other places.
Immediately after the Cyane left, on the 18th
(says the Herald,) Commander Jolly, Of the
| British brig Bermuda, proclaimed the town I'M
der martial law, and established q blockade Of
the port. The English ship-of-war Espeigle
holds Punta Arenas and her commander says
the Point is q part Of San Juan, and he will
hold it as security until something can be ar
| ranged between the two Governments. Alto
gether, lively state of things is likely to grow
out Of the Greytown exploit.
This statement is denied by Captain Tinkle-
paugh, in the following note to the editor Of
the Herald:
"The report in the Herald this morning that
the port of San Juan, or Greytown, Nicaragua,
is in a state of blockade, and that Point Arenas
is held by the British commander, for any pur-
pose whatever, is entirely unfounded. On the
contrary, when the Star of the West left, all
excitement had subsidized, and every thing was
in as quiet and satisfactory condition as could
| be desired E. L. TINkLEPAUGH,
Commander Of steamship Star of the West. =
A correspondent of the Herald, writing from
Point Arenas, July 30, says.
III. B. M. war schooner Bermuda, which left
here on the afternoon of the bombardment, in
tow of the Dee, arrived at@this place on the
morning of the 10th, and remained perfectly
quiet until after the departure of the Cyane.
That same day, (the 18th inst,) A. D. Jolly,
commander of the Bermuda, went to San Juan,
and put up two proclamations, copies Of which
are annexed:
| PRoCLAMATIoN.-It having been brought to
my notice, that in consequence of the late cruel
| outrage committed by the United States sloop-
of-war Cyane, that many depredations and
| thefts have been committed on the property
necessarily left unguarded, hereby proclaim
4 that any person brought before me with suffi-
cient proofs Of having committed such thefts or
depredations, shall be severely logged on board
| Fl. B. NJ. ship Bermuda, under my command.
| Given on board H. B. NJ ship Bermuda, at
| Grey town, this 18th day of July, 1854.
| (Signed) A. D. JOLLY, Lieut.. Com'dg.
| PROCLAMATION consequence of the nom
existence Of all civil authority in this city Of
Grey town, (caused by the late outrage,) being
charged, as far as my power extends, with the
protection of lives and property, do hereby pro-
claim the city and territory of Greytown, as
described by its constitution, under g martial
| law
| Given under my hand, ON board r. B. NJ
schooner Bermuda, at Greytown, Mosquito, this
18th day of July, 1854.
| (Signed) A. D. JOLLY, Lieut., Com'dg.
| On the 10Th he came here and left two; but
one of them worded different from the one put
up in San Juan. Instead of &c cowardly and
wanton," he had "cruel' He also informed
US he would send after the brass piece that was
taken from San Juan, and placed here by Capt
Hollins, of the Cyane. The same day he went
to San Juan, and with pencil altered the pro-
clamation there, SO as to correspond with the
one left here; and signed his name in pencil, as
having been altered by him. On the Goth he
| sent force of marines to take the cannon,
which he says belongs to Great Britain, and
was left for the protection of the town. He
| took it, under protest of the United States
Commercial Agent
| He has proclaimed martial law, and block
AIDED the port He was about to put the pilot
an American, in irons, for going out to bring
in the American brig Reveille, which arrived
here on the Goth and also told him he was
risking his life by going out to bring any vessel
in without his permission.
i Lieut.. A. d. Jolly says he came down to make
peace. And we'll he has acted his part; drink
ing, carousing, and playing billiards, and walk
ing arm in arm with the very ringleaders of all
the outrages committed upon American citizens,

his vessel the day of the bombardment. II
British officers do not understand their business
and know their places letter than that, they
had better stay at home and not come here to
| delude these poor ignorant people, and lead
| them to suppose that England will protect them
/ in all the outrages they may feel disposed to
commit on American citizens. 1t is the opinion
| Of many here, had it not been for Lieut. Jolly
and his g Bull boat" the demands would have
hno, 1snI t1,r g
would not have met the fate it has; but after
ALL it is the best thing that could have happened
| to it; for the town would never have been
cleared had it not been burned
The English man of war Espeigle arrived
here yesterday afternoon, with some Of the re-
fugees who were at Kingston, Jamaica. The
| Argus English war steamer) left Kingston on
Monday last for Halifax. 1t is rumored she
has gone after a feet, which is coming to arrest
| all the Americans here. A Baltimore pilot boat,
which arrived here from Kingstonswith proyi-
| sions, says the town is in great state of ex-
| element. The officers of the Bermuda have
also reported that the English and French Ad-
| mirals have each sent frigate after the Cyane.
The Kingston Morning Journal says that
"Great Britain has no alternative but to
| avenge the insult offered to her flag and the in
jury done to her ally. She is bound to do it on
every principle of honor and justice If she
shrink from the task, then Is her Wanted pro-
lection of the weak against the oppression of the
strong, as in the case of Turkey, an empty
boast She has ships in sufficient numbers laid
up in ordinary, which, with little expense,
| may be soon equipped and commissioned, with
which to lombard New York, Philadelphia,
Boston, or any Of the American seaports, as a
Just measure of retaliation for the outrage COM
mitted on Greytown. The bombardment of
Odessa was an act of retribution for the Sinope
massacre, and nothing less than successful
| attack on some large American seaport will
teach the Americans that they must abstain
! from attacks similar to that on Greytown, I'M
less they be in accordance with the laws of
| nations
P. SIN haste steamer just in, and will sail
in two hours We have just received dispatch
from the British war vessel Espeigle. Her COM
mander says he holds the Point as security for
the conduct of Capt. Hollins, and that he will
protect it until some thing can be arranged be-
tween the two Governments. He says the Point
is part of the city of San Juan.
