A correspondent of the Tribune says that
the claims Of French subjects for proper
ty destroyed at San Juan exceed 100000,
one man coming in for loss of 100000.
The English claims are not yet known, but
will exceed the French, one Englishman
losing eighty packages. Granadiau and
Spanish merchants suffered loss of $780,
600. Add to these The American losses,
which were greater than any Others and
the entire bill for us TO foot, in order TO re-
venge the wounded honor of Solon Borland,
will reach S3,000,000. Those that dance
must pay the fiddler, and, if the honor Of
every rowdy attached to this Adminslra-
ton costs as much, this American people
will find it high price for a small article.
