Violation of tho American Flag by Mexican
Aufhoiifiea

The New Orleans Picayune publishes an ac-
count Of gross outrage upon the American
flag. perpetrated by the authorities Of Yucatan.
The American brig John S. Gettings, Captain
Trenis. from New Orleans for Campeachy, arriv-
cd off the latter port on the Goth ut.. having on
board as passenger Col. Jose Dolores Zetna, a
refugee from Mexico under the Presidency Of
Santa Anna, who supposed that he would be wei
coined back to his country, now that the reign Of
the tyrant had passed but II seems that in the
department of Campeaehy the ministers OF Santa
Anna, under pretence of an adoption of the plan
of Ayu,la, IRE still in power. md that the exile
was still hateful in their sight.
Immediately on the arrival of the Getiings she
was guaranteed for four days, notwithstanding
Captain Trenis showed clean bill of health, du-
fy certified by the Mexican Consul General of
New Orleans. Two days afterwards the Cap
tain was notified that the length OF his quaran-
tine expiation was increased to eight days, but
in view Of the Captains earnest protest and re-
monstronce. he obtained an assurance that his
vessel should be released condition that no
communication should be had with the shore
other vessels On the seventh day an Adjutant
Major camo alongside and delivered a letter to
the American Captain commanding him to re-
move his passenger, Senior Zeina to tho Mexi-
can war steamer Oajaca, promising that that done
he should be released from quarantine. OF
course Capt Trenis refused 10 obey the com
mand but nevertheless his vessel was soon after
released and he himself went ON shore. On the
same night occurred the climax of the outrage,
in this wise the Captain OF the port, the
Adjuant and another officer came on board the
Cuttings, themselves seized by force Col. Ze
tim, and put him on board tho Mexican war
steamer, which immediately sailed, A Spanish
document, published at Merida, shows that the
Colo mel was taken 10 Sisnl, by the Oajaca, and
thence made his way to Merida, where ho
oevea by his friends with great joy; it also states
that the outrage was done under the immediate
orders ofGen. Ulion. A copy OF the protest end
other papers have been transmitted to Washing
ton. and il is to be hoped that thorough nves-
tigation into tho merits of the case will be had,
aud proper action taken in the premises.
There is no pretence whatever that Col, Icti-
ma was accused of any crime, or of any breach of
Mexican laws. lie was simply political rctu-
gee-iko Ceballot, Ro-as and thousand and one
others-from the oppression of Santa Anna re-
turning to the bosom Of his family, to his friends
aud his country. He expected to be received with
open arms at Campeachy, ns he was at Merida, and

emincntly deserving 10 be.
