The Affair ut San Juan.

A correspondent OF the New York Times.
referring 10 the visit paid by the British Of
fcers to the Washington, in the waters of
San Juan, says that Captain Aidham, Of the
British frigate NaIerous, in reply to the note
cf Com. Mcintosh, ofthe United States tFigate
Roanoke claimed the right to visit ships and
institute 90 examination at San Juan, as il
was within the Mosquito kingdom, which
Great Britain was bound by its treaties to
protect Com. Mcintosh sent second com
munication to Captain Aldham, the nature OF
which bad not trauspired; but the person who
carried it said be had had an interview
with Captain Aldham and Sir WIN. Gore
Ouseley. the British minister, and THAI he con-
sidered the recent affair Of boarding the Wash
ingtou as now satisfactorily settled, a. far ss
it could be, by hag-oficer Mcintosh; ard that
be had no doubt there would be no difficulty
10 future in that re-pect--the boarding aud
examination of American merchant vessels
by British cruisers in the waters Of the Mos
quito coast. Capt. Aldham and the Ministers
secretary afterwards visited Com. Mcintosh
on board the Roanoke, and were cordially re-
ceiged, and remained on board all night.
