ne Anaii at San Juan.

The following are the particulars, ms We find

On the 10th MAY, the Marshal of san Juan or
Greytown, went ON board the steamer Routh,
with considerable armed posse, 10 arrest her
commander, Captain T. II SNInLnpon charge
of murder. Their authority tur making the mr.
rest, was n warrant from the Mayor of Greytown.
Capt Smith refused to be arrested. and armed
himself for resistance. Mr. Borland. being on
board the Northern Light, and hearing OF the
difficulty, Immediately went ON board the Rouih
and nterposod 10 prevent the arrest telling the
Marshal that the United States recognised the
existence of no authority at Greytown 10 arrest
or in any way interfere with an American citizen,
1Ie even raised rifle ii is reported @nnd threat

resorted 20 violence. The result was the with
drawal of the Marshal without making the ar
rest.
In the evening Mr.. Borland went across tho
harbor TO Greytown, ON visit 10 Mr.. Fabius the
United States commercial agent, and whilst he
there public meeting of the people was
held, presided over by the Mayor, at which it was
determined to arrest Mr.. Borlund, which purpose
party Of armed men attempted TO carry into eX-
eeution, by surrounding Mr.. Fabius' house. Mr.,
Borand denied their authority, and plead oxemp
ton on account of his ministerial capacity. AT
ter some parey the Mayor appeared and dsa-
vowed the proceedings. The crowd soon after
wards dispersed, one OF them having first thrown
the fragments of glass bottle at MIR. Borland
which slightly cut him in the face.
In the meantime Mr.. Fnbu- proclreda canoe

were prevented from landng by band of ariuet
men, and had to return to tho steamer. Thu,
Mr. Borland was detained at Mr.. Fabius Gus,
until the next morning. when he procured boa
and proceeded 10 the steamer.
1t does not appear that Mr.. Borland was mo
