From Valparaiso.

VALPARAISO, June 29-She u. S. corvette
st. Marys paid us visit for few DAYS. but q
norther frightened her away, notwithstanding
one Captain La Baily had taken refuge in the
American Consul's house, and desired protec-
ton from Chill prison, he being naturalized
American citizen. Indeed, at one time it was
supposed that we should have Koszta affair
of itas Captain Baily is reported to have offered
the battery OF the St. Marys to the American
Consul, to enable him to blow the town out Of
existence.
The news came near inducing the inhabi-
tants to take refuge on board the strong navy
of this Republic, almost every vessel of which
happened to be in port at the time, but the st.
Marys departure put all minds at rest; stocks
went up again, and the usual quantity of dull
cess and hot milk were consumed at Maillard' s
On the evening of the day of the corvette's de-
parture. But ! am a little ahead of my story.
General Flores and Aid were received on
board in due form, the marines being drawn
up with "present arms" and Captain Baily,
in full uniform, &c. On leaving the vessel
he was saluted with fifteen guns. Gen. Flores
is living in retirement here, with a few choice
friends, and seems to avoid notice in every way.
Correspondence OF the North American and Uni
ted States Gazette.
PORT AU PRINCE, July PA curious cir
cumstance occurred here few days since. A
seaman, on board the Prussian schooner "Ken-
nette Kingsford," appeared before the Ameri-
can commercial agent, and on oath declared
himself to be the person who killed John Meyer,
last February somewhere in the woods near
Burlington, New Jersey. He stated that he
fed, under the name of Brown, to London,
England, and that while there he heard that
a person, named Gotleib Mulheisen, had been
arrested and would be tried for the murder,
and that there was strong circumstahtial evi,
dence against him, and now his conscience
will not let an innocent man suffer, so he de-
sired to be sent to the United States for trial.
The United States agent requested of the
Prussian consul that the man should be taken
up, which was positively refused so that his
solemn declaration was taken before witnesses,
and, no doubt, will soon be in the United
States. In the meanwhile the man has disap-
peared, and neither Prussian nor American
consul know anything of his whereabouts. He
gave his name as John Muller, born in Wirtem-
burg, and at the time of the murder, was in the
employ OF Alderman Soa, Of Washington town
ship, Burlington county, New Jersey. We think
here that he will find his way to the United
States, and surrender himself 20 justice.
