Capt McCerren, of the ship Defiance arrived 10
this city this morning, In company with Mr.. Johnson
OF New York one Of the owners Of the ship. 1t will
be remembered that the Defiance was seized by Peru
Wan officials at the Chncha Islands, and Capt Nc
Ceren was subjected to gross indgnities at the hands
OF those personsges. He is still suffering from the
effects of the barbarous treatment which he expe-
rienced. He claims Of the Peruvian government
damages to the amount of $50 900 for the personal
injuries inflicted upon him, and 4700 per day for the
the thiItyfve days during which his ship was de-
tanned. The Peruvian authorities acknowledge the
uDjustifiabe conduct of their officials but are not
disposed to render Capt Nc Jeren very liberal in
demDity for his loss and suffering They offer hin
$l6 900 personal dan ages, and $500 per day for the
sums he refuses to accept and he Is about to lay
matter before the Secretary Of State There is no
doubt that Mr.. Marcy will sustain his rights and
secure for him ample indemnity, while be makes pro
vision for preventing the recurrence Of such out
rage upon the persons and property Of American
citizens.

tuition is gaining ground every day There is nothing
so unreasonable rs to vote for President by States,
