THE LAST OUTRAGE AT SAN JUAN.
WASHINGTON. March Z.

The party of Americans who were arrested
at Greytown by the people on the San Juan
River, were not fllibusters, as the correspondent
of the New York Times hints, but American
citizens engaged in lawful and peaccable en-.
terprise. The commander of the party, Julius
de Brisset, Esq, is we'll kn"wn in New York
and New Orleans as the late commander of the
Mail Steamship Company's steamer EI Dorado.
Captain De Brisset was bound to Ecuador
bring largely Interested in The Galapagos pro-
icet, and selected the Costa Rca route as the
shortest ahd best. D..
His friends were gentlemen who were desl'
rous of travelling in that country VITA an y. eye
to future location there. 1t is rumored that
Fabens, our Consul to San Juan, who is IN Inc
city, has brought on depositions sworn to BY
the most respectfully people in that nelghooF'
hood, fully corroboating these statements.
We also know that Col. Kinney and Mr. fao,
ems have conferred together upon the stale OF
affairs on the Musquito coast, and that no ob'
stacle exists there to an immediate pursuance
of The Kinney enterprise, and the expedition Is
now fixed fact and will start now that the
road is clear.

The Peace Prospect.

PERHAPS il, is hardly correct to put "The Peace
Prospect" as n caption, when we mean to copy be-
meath it article declaring that there is no peace
But follow the example Of others, supposing that
they justify themselves the principle Of 81 lucas
respondent Of the National Intelligencer who is said
to be reliable news-monger:
Dispatches from Berlin and Vienna inform us that
the Emperor of Russia, in view of the probable e1l-
gences of the war; has just ordered general arm
ing throughout the whole extent of his empire lhs
does not look much like expectation on his part
that peace will grow out Of the lale and coming con-
ferences at Vienna. In fact nobody now looks Tor
this and the date of The opening the conferences and
eve the opening Of them at all is considered as more
than problematical. The Interpretation OF the
third point Is understood 10 be the great stumbling
block which neither Of the parties begerent and ne
goating can get past in order 10 meet the other upon
acceptable terms. Carthage deendd est is The irrevo-
cable sentence pronounced by the allies against the
Russian stronghold in the Black Sea, Sebas' opol.
French writers pretend to believe and strive to per-
suade Austria that the levy en- nlasse said to have
been just orde cred by the Gar can only be intended
for the invasion of Germany, and Prussia is nconti-
neny advised 10 rush forthwith into the arms OF Inc
allies.
The immense preparations of the allies for the ap'
preaching campaign seem 10 me, on the contrary, 10
be altogether OF nature to justify the bringing up 10
the contest of all the resources that his vast empire
can place at his disposition. The allies continue, 1t
seems, to be knocking at the doors Of all the petty
dukes in Europe for their co.aiance and contngents
agains the Gear. In addition the second and third
rate States mentioned in my last, Tuscany and even
Parma and Mudena, now enumerated rs likely TO
join this Holy Alliance it is represented TO be. l
shall probably in my next have to inform you that the
Republic of San Marine, and the ex.soveregn OF
Monaco, and perhaps his Majesty Sollouque OF ST.
Domingo, have been called on for their contingents.
Every little helps' is evidently the motto upon
which the Western powers are proceeding. 1t must
be gratifying as we'll as amusing TO the Car to see
the importantly Of the allies with regard to lhr small
powers, in order to make the campaign OF 1855 more
| successful than that Of 1854.

neighborhood has suffered, more or less. Houses

of our friends, Messrs B. BETrrs and B. H. MILLER

closed The mask is torn from know.nothlnglsm and
il exposed 10 the indignation of the country in all
the repusive aspects Of its vile and hideous nature
M doubt there are members Of the order who will
attempt TO hide themselves from the blasting gaze Of
the public, and 10 cover up their shame and guilt
from popular eyecraon, by dsputins the authenticity
of these documents. Bound by The obligation OF the
most horrible oaths and pricked only on by fear Of
the dreadful penalties, 10 deny and conceal even
the existence Of the order, lis members will not hes
tate to rcsor: every expedent of equivocation and
misrepresentation break The furce of these reve'a.

Ifany respectable person IN the State questions the
authenticity of these publications. We pledge ourselves
any Know.nuhin charges that hey fabrication,
we will convict him falsehood before The country.

who dares accept The challenge.
