this city this morning. in company with Mr.. Johnson,
OF New York one of the owners Of the ship. IL will
be remembered that the Defiance was seized by Peru
Wan officials at the Chincha Islands. and Capt Nc
Cerren subjected to gross ndignities at the hands
of those pesonages. 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 $35 900 for the personal
injuries inflicted upon him, and 800 per day for the
the Thirty five days during which his ship was de-
tanned. The Peruvian authorities acknowledge the
uDjustifable conduct Of their officials but not
disposed to render Capt. Nc Ceren very liberal in
demDity for his loss and suffering. They offer hin
$6 900 personal dan ages and $500 per day for the
time during which bis ship was detained. These
sums he refuses TO accept and he Ii about to lay tue

so unreasonable rs to vote for President by States
