The writer of this letter became pretty wen ac-
goainted, some two years since, Win the members
9 ,hc aforesaid city govern ment In . conversation
With Q prominent officer Of that government, the
writer referred to the Englkh influence everywharc
slaskng out. The Official replied, in substance,
birth, they preferred the presence Of British yes
ls British inter ests, British projection and British
hAaenee TO those of their own country.

The above facts seem to us conclusive proof Of
The anti Republican and anti American feeling OF
Ne citizens and Government of san Juan and
lay fu5nish key to the differences and dstur-
ssnees which have occurred there: is also pro
ated but an extremely small fraction Of the popu-
htion Of San Juan. A shrewd Yankee could pro-
habty guess ut the reason for placing large pro-
6euncil. - - 4 -"
Further, in the Tribune letter referred TO- the
gentlemen state that In March, 1852 Q constitution
vas adopted and that no allegiance has been yielded
20 the King Of Mosquito sinoe that time. The fol-
DwiDg questions are respectfully asked in this con-
emitting the fact Of the British Union Mosquito
nag being still N tained the municipal ensign did
sot she Captain Of the Port, ON Official visits, In
june, 1852, wear the crown on his cap, % the in
sigp,a Of the king
Did he not derive, and at this time hold, his au-
1hority from the king
Die he not at tins time make official visits to the
y0yal residence, at Brefeids
Did not the Mayor Of san Juan style himself At
terBey Genera1 Of the Kingdom, &C., &c.
Again--In June, 1862, it was announced to Anne,
ncans passing through San Juan, that the govern
nent was an independent republic; upon which

Nm, (which the British Consul did not attend In
honor Of 1.-THE declaration Of independence Of San
Juan del Norte." See HERALD, Tribune, &C., Of
JaDe "a, 1852.
And yes, in few weeks afterwards, this fact--
Wa, the Independence contradicted in the
1stbxns, and we think upon information derived
hs~ one Of The very gentlemen We have referred %,
She probability is that the wing is the truth

t.sests were injured and profitable schemes broken

Company, and hanassiDg war was tacitly declared

We believe the gentlemen whose signatures are
