ARRIVAL OF THE pRoMETHEU.

The steamship Prometheus, Capt. Harry
Churchill, left New Orleans for San Juan, and
arrived there on the morning of the 9Th, making
the run in five days and nineteen hours. North
ern Light, Capt. Tinklepaugh, left New York on
the 9th, and arrived at San Juan on the even

We regret to announce the death of Mrs
Means at San Juan, wife of Major G. FL. Means
of Memphis. She died of Epilepsy, to attacks of
which she had been subject. She was buried
at Punta de Annas, Tuesday, October s. Coun-

quickly made by the passengers. The reyolu-

possession of the Plaza OF Granada, where he
entrenched himself and forces at an early period,

sometimes with effect and again meeting with a
reverse, yet managing to sustain himself in his
position and occasionally we learn adding adj
ditional force to his command.
Soon after the capture Of the schooners upon
the lake, belonging to the Castilon interest, by
Chomoro, the force in possession of San Carlos,
at the junction Of the river on the lake, fearing
an attack, returned from that position to Castillo
Viejo, or Castillo Rapids, about forty miles be-
low, on river San Juan, where they now are
under the command of Telaya, the commandante
of that place
A short time after the evacuation, Chomoro
sent force under the command of Caval, one
Of his Generals, to take possession of San Car
los, which he did, and we believe has threatened
to go down and attack those in possession of
Castillo Viejo at all events they are in the lat
ter place in hourly anticipation of his (GavaD
appearance, and are making preparations to
defend it.
Thus matters stand at present, neither party
obtaining any material advantage of late,

town is building up again. and trade is reyiying
a little. The British sloop-of- war Vestal, Capt
Thompson, and the steam-frigate Termagant,

Francisco papers to the 24th of November.
