THE DISTURBANCE PUGET's S0UND.-From interest
ing article in the Salem Register compile brief ac-
Of the origin and present aspect Of the disturbances
which have arisen at Pugets Sound Our readers are
doubtless that VaEcouves island is separated from
the continent the SOUTH by the straits of San Juan de
Fuca which twenty miles in width The waters
turn north after passing through these straits and flow
through St Georges channel The space between Van
couvers island and the main is filed with large and small
islands, concerning the jurisdiction of which dispute has
arisen between the American and British local auhori-
tics
The Oregon treaty provides that the boundary line shall
be continued westward along the 49th parallel of north
latitude the middle of the channel which separates the
continent from yaneouvcrs islands, and thence southery
through the middle of the said channel and of Fuca Straits
the Pacific ocean, with the free navigation of the chan
mel and straits south Of said parallel to both parties
Now it happens that there two channels through the
islands This led 10 dispute to which the one
designated by the treaty andwhilc the people await
ing the settlement Of the question: the British governor of
Vancouver placed San JUAN of the disputed islands,
justice of the peace and eight ten other men, with
thousand head of sheep Thereupon, Collector Eby, of
Olympia in Washington Territory to San juan
and left an inspector there. The Hudson Bay Company
agents much irrated Mt this defiance, and made an
attempt to arrest the American inspector the ground
that he falsely pretended to be officer Of the customs
The scheme fell through however and he not after
wards molested.
Subsequently, about hundred Indians stationed
the island by Gov Douglass of Vancouver all armed
and fed at the expense of the Hudson Bay Company
They placed there to defend the island from the
Americans and perhaps Also to prevent the seizure Of the
sheep by the American collector Of their having
been landed in the collection district of Pugcts sound
without entry at the custoni-housea having pre-
vailed tina, il was the collectors intention to seize them
At this stage Of the proceedings actngGoycrnor Mason
who then at Olympia proceeded 10 Beltinghan bay
with twenty sodier for the purpose of protecting the
frontier from the epreaatons Of the Indians who angcred
by the murder of of their chiefs by American
Olympia had threatened to attack Olympia and kin the
Bostonsn There this time besides the hum
dred Indians San Juan three hundred of the tribe
on the section of Vancouver and tie Inhabitants
of the American shore much alarmed anticipating
INVASION Although several whites had been murdered by
n marading band of the Indians, yet the impression
entertained that the settlements in serious dange,,
and that the loud threats of violence by the Indns would
only result in cutting oil individuals small parties.
Thus matters stood Mt last accounts
