The Gandarstas had gained victory over the
Government forces, causing great destruction among
the troops. The news from Sonora is of much i'm |
portance. 1t is reported that Gandara has returned

Comontort appointing him Governor of Sonora

the Mexican Government will never be able to dis
lodge him.

CALLAo, Feb l2.-Since nv last to Won have to
report two American vessels by the Peruvian
war steamer Tumbes, the ship Lizzy Thompson and
bark Georgiana, caught loading guano from the
Government deposits at "Pabellion de Plea" the
first named chartered by the French Consul at
lquique, and the last named by Santos Ossa togeth-
er with the CHILEAN vessels Marzaritta and Amarca
all OF which are now lying in this port under the
guns of the Peruvian fleet and battery on the mole
The American Captains, Wilson and REYNOLDS, upon
their arrival here were sent to prison. where they
renamed three days, when they were bailed out by
a demand for their discharge but was refused
The American bark Dorcas c. Yeaton was also
boarded by boat from the steamer Tumbes She
was also bound for lquique to load guano, but the
rect to Callao, and accept charter from the gov
eminent Upon her arrival at Caao the captain
entered protest and afterwards chartered his YES
sci, receiving from the government for personal
damages, 6c., the sum of IS, 800.
In consequence of this vessel having been boarded
on the high seas, the American minister has de-
manded satisfaction for the insult to the flag; the
PeruvianS fall back upon the treaty of July 26; 1851
and cite the oath and 9th articles of that treaty for
their justification, which are as follows:
Art 24th. Whatever articles merchandise not
cOmprehended in the articles of contraband of war
explicitly enumerated and classified in the article
sd, shall be considered free matter of free and e
gltmate commerce, and can be carried and transport
ed by the two parties contracting to ports be-
longing to an enemy, excepting only those places
that are at that time beseiged or blockaded and to
prevent all doubt in this particular it is declared
that only those places shall be considered beseiged
or blockaded that are then and there attacked by
force sufficient to enforce and prevent a martial.
Art 9th. To prevent irreguarity and disorder
in the visit to examine vessels and their cargo of
the two contracting parties upon the high col
tn mar they do mutually agree that when a vesse
OF war, public vessel or private meets another OF
the contracting parties, the first superior shall
heave to at a safe distance. * shall send one
of her smallest boats, manned with no more men
than Is necessary for the purpose of making an ex
property
and cargo of said vessels without causing damage or
is expressly understood that in no case shall the
neutral go on board the vessel making the visit to
exhibit his papers or any other object.
The following is the report of Capt. Duenas of
the war-steamer THnbes, published in the official
organ FL Per"aao, which remit to YOU
"on the evening at sunset on the 22d inst, in
lat. Y deg. 10 min. s., we sighted the American
bark Dorcas c. leatoH, steering n. f. "a E., and
on the following morning, spoke him, and asked
him where bound; he answered to Iquique; | sent
boat on board, and invited the Captain on board
the TH6eS and there made note of the differences in
his papers to his destination; the clearance given
by the authorities at Valparaiso were for Callao
and that signed by the United States Consul was
for lquique; upon which | suspected that she was

arrangement with the Captain to 90 direct to Callao
and to take with him midshipman Black with an
Official note to your excellency, advising you of the
cause OF this measure"
The Dorcas c. YeatOn has sailed for the Chincha
Islands, and will sail from thence to New York di-
rect. The question of the Lizzie Thompson and
Georgiana, will, in all probability, be brought be
fore the Government here, as soon as the frigate
Merrimac arrives here; at the last accounts she
was IN Talcahaunna Captain Reynolds has given
me the following statement of the affairs Pabellion
de Plea:
On the morning of the oath instant at o'clock,
my vessel was boarded by an armed boat from the
war steamer Iumbes, and when the officer in charge
came deck, he ordered me to get nv vessel under
weigh Immediately. This | refused to do and asked
him by what right he on board in that manner;
to which he replied that it none of nv business
and then he ordered to get into his boat and take
my papers on board the steamer. did so, and upon
my arrival on board the Tumbes found all hands at
quarters and everything ready for action. handed
my papers to the Commander after which he order
ed me to go on board my vessel and make sail; in
CURED where he was going to take me; he told me
that it none of my business and refused to give
fell ms M rafu midi
way in five minutes that he would sink me at nv
anchors, and that his guns double shotted.
lie then sent me back on board, and at the same
time another armed boat, and when they got on
board they again ordered me to make sail. I again
refused to do so. They then got her under weigh
themselves, after which the boats crew went with
cutlasses into the torcastle and drove the out
on deck and over the stern into launch that was
towing astern, threatening to sabre those who did
not go. After the men were all in her, they cut
her adrift, without either giving them water or pro-

They then ordered me into boat to go as pris-
oner on board the steamer. | asked permission to
take my clothes and other things with me- this
they refused, so lost all After my arrival on the
steamer, was put into a room and double guard !
placed over me. and in this manner brought to
Callao, where was thrown into the common gaol |
with thieves and murderers. There I remained un-
til bailed out by two gentlemen in Callao
The Lizzie Thompson sailed and was regularly |
cleared at San Francisco with general cargo for
lquique, and upon her arrival at that place was |
chartered to take cargo of guano purchased from
NIvanco by the French Consul. She cleared at the |
Custom House and at the Captain of the Ports Of
flee for Pabellionde Pca to load guano as also did
the Georgiana. The defence set up is, that they
were cleared by the authorities de acto at the place
and had no right question their right to the
else of these functions they simply recognized in
the port of Iquique-that which is always done at |
every port in the world-the powers that be.
