The San Juan AffAir.-We are permitted to
make the following extracts from letter
| brought by the Prometheus dated Puenta
Arenas, August 18th, to a gentleman in this
city, which fully corroborates our estimate of
the character the people who inhabited
Greytown at the time Of its bombardment By
Captain Hollins: -tIgs =
:. II has turned out just as predicted. A
portion of the Wing and Abolition press, in
It's raoid hostility to the Administration, has
been found base enough to sympathizs openly
with the rufians Of Greytosn.s Some have
displayed good deal Of humor in styling
them respectable community and an Amer
team town. Isn't it delightful? Why every
body knows that their regular business was
drinking, gambling, wheremonging, fighting,
etc, and their recreation, making war upon
the Transit Company and Americans generally,
them. They never made any secret Of their
determination to obstruct the San Juan river,
and go ruin the Transit Company, if they
could mt force them, noI'ns Uoleus, to send
their passengers through the town to be feeced
and regularly done for. AS for the genius
who discovered that the feelings Of the com
munity (oh, dear,) were outraged by the MUIR
der of Antonio, as they style the Smith affair,
| should like to borrow hin, for about half an

dollar head. Murder an outrage when to
my certain knowledge there were five Ameri-
can gentlemen who had reported themselves
to the representative of the United States at
San Juan. as in danger Of their lives from
these same amateurs There was once a really
respectable and honest man who went there to
settle, and they made all sorts of sport Of him,
aDd finally set him down as crazy.
The best joke is calling Greytown an
AMERICAN place. Among the late authori
ties there was one Americans mulatto fel.
low who was drummed out of California by tn
vigilance committee, where he had gone, it is
currently reported, in consequence of having
rendered defunct murder Is a bad word) a
fell ow citizen Of Mississippi; all the rest were
British subjects or under British influence
The town was in fact q regular Botany Bay for
Jamaica negroes and kindred desperadoes
They have got holy trinity over there
now to manage affairs-Martin, Lyons and
McLane. These are the virtuosos of tho New
York Tribune. IT Greedy should ever find it
e1pedient to settle in San Juan, 7 would ad-
wise him to be careful Of his pocket book, be-
cause it is somewhat notorious that when those
fellows are around, man puts down more
than he takes up. jolly gets two or three
chaps to fog oceasi,nally and is perfectly
happy"
