From the National Intelfigencerl
The Destruction of San Juan.

The President of the United States. in re-
ply to resolutions heretofore adopted by both
Houses, laid before Congress yesterday a
luminous correspondence of the State and
Navy Departments conveying information
in relation to the recent destruction of San
Juan del Norte by the T. S. sloop-of-war
Cyane.
Not having obtained a copy of this cor
respondence until late hour last night, we
are unable to publish it entire in this days
paper We give however, the material por-
ton of it, the remainder being of less i'm
mediate consequence on account of the mat
ters to which it relates being already famil-
lar TO the public. The letters deferred are:
l. A letter from Mr. Fabens to Mr.
Marcy, dated the 18th of May, 1854, in
relation to the purloining of boat load of
merchandise from the Accessory Transit
Company, and in regard to the differences
between that company and the authorities
of San Juan as to the jurisdiction over the
territory known as Point Arenas.
2. A letter from Mr.. Fabens to Mr..
Marcy, dated the Both of May. 1854, de-
failing the proceedings of the people of San
Juan towards Mr. Borland, in consequence
of his interference to prevent the arrest of
Capt. Smith.
8. A letter from Mr. BorIand to Mr..
Marcy, dated the both May. 1854 describ-
ing the occurrences in which the former be-
came involved at San Juan, and informing
the Department that he had organized
company of American citizens at that place
to protect the persons and property of Am
orleans.
T. A letter from Dir. Fabens to Mr..
Marcy, dated 10Th June, 1854. stating that
he did not think that any suitable indemni-
ty could be obtained by the Transit compa-
ny from the people of San Juan unless the
government should take possession of and
hold the entire territory Of Musquito
5. A letter from Mr.. Fabens to Mr..
Marcy, dated the 18th of July, 1854, stat
ing that the people of San Juan had refus-
ed to accord any indemnity or apology; and
giving the particulars of the destruction of
their town. The same information is con-
tanned in Commodore Hollin's letter inserted
below.
Washington telegraph., 1854-09-06
Mr.. MARCY TO Mr.. FARENs.
Department Of State,

Washington, June 3, 1854
Sri presume an order will be sent out
by the steamer which will leave New York
or the 18th inst. for San Juan to discharge
the men who were employed by Mr. Bor-
land for the protection of the life and prop
erty of American citizens at that place
One of our armed vessels will be ordered to
visit San Juan. The conduct of the people
there towards our citizens has attracted the
attention of this Government, and will not
be passed unnoticed. The inhabitants of
that place will be expected to make repara-
tion for the wrongs and outrages they have
committed. The case stated in your COM
n1nication to this Department of the 18th
uftino presents . wrong which requires i'm
mediate reparation. As the pretended au-
thorities Of tIie town have volunteered to
protect those who had stolen the property of
the Accessory Transit Company. when
brought within the territories over which
they assume to exercise authority, they will
be held responsible to the amount thereof,
and to make the reparation therefor You
will lose no time in notifying them that this
Government will require a restoration of, or
payment for, the property taken to their
town, and all damages sustained by their
outrageous conduct in preventing the Com
pany from repossessing itself of it. In 9TH
er respects their conduct has been such to-
wards our citizens as to require the in
terposition of this Government for obtaining
redress and it is expected that the people at
that place will be prepared to make it in
satisfactory manner. shall communicate
with you more fully on this subject by the
opportunity which will be afforded by the
national ship about to be sent to San Juan
