WASHINGTON, Sept. 81, 1854.

Lieut.. Jolly has been promoted for nis conduct in
the Greytown disturbance: When Capt. Hollns "a.
nouDce0 bis intention OF blowing up the viace, the
jolly old tar, nov vergipg four SCORE took Mayor
Martin and The rest OF the government on bard
nis htse vessel After the departure Of the Cyane
Is reported that he took formal possession OF the
site Of the town and established martial Law. This
latter proceeding was practical assertion of the
pfotecforate, pretensioa which had lain dormant
for two years. For this ne has received the special
mark OF favor Of being advanced two grades above
his Lin eal rank.
Mr.. Champion has made representation to this
government in connection with this affair, which
will form part OF al important CORES pondence. II
has given Mr.. Marcy occasion for preparing state
ment OF tie case, IN which he will define the posi-
ton which this government has assumed and means
TO maintain In reference to the occurrence. II is
stated that the Secretary viii justify the lombard
meLt as AN act of niece ssary severity for which the
UDlt States can be held responsible only to that
possessing the right Of jurisdiction over
San Juan, thus cutting of all claims OF indemnity
proc, edmg F1m any European government This
&C. Isl may prove matter OF grave importance, for
Il a1u lite that property to very large amount
was destroyed belonging to the subjects Of England,
and Spain. France, Holland and Germany. II is
difficult to receive how the fact of quarrel With
the beiplefs municipal government Of an obscure
settlement like Greyt0wn, could justify the agents
OF the United States In the destruction Of this pro-
perty. The idea Of referring the claimants to the
Mosquito Cbief or to the government Of Nicaragua
seems cruel and wsn'on mockery Of justice.
It Is asserted that Mr.. Champion protested against
the destruction OF the town on the further ground
that 1t was An infringement upon the territorial
rights Of Great Britain. The re assertion Of this
principle viii Awe Mr.. Marcy q great advantage.
In the koszta affair every first class European mi.
mister in Washington, except Mr. Champion, joined
in the protest and rtmonstrance, and Mr.. Nary an
swered them, that with sne exec ption Of the Aus
tlisn Minister, he could not recognise in them any
right Of interference. No communication on this
subject has yet been received from any other than
the British embassy.
The negotiation proceeding in London under the
care Of Mr.. Buchalan, viii proceed independently
Of tbis cssua side issue and will result, doubt,
in satisfactory arrangement. The presentation by
MT CHAMPION Of che remosstsluce alluded to. under
the orde - Of his government, was probably the
origin Of the rumor that the whole subject Of British
and American pretenHons In Central America was
under discussion in Washington.
