TIL result, however, settles nothing in that
distracted country, where the only " ~institu-
tions" that appear to be established and fixed,
are those of anarchy and misrule. There is
not, probably, even among the Spanish Ameri-
can States, a more deplorably governed country
than that of Chill. @ .
los The last outrage upon our flag and country
men, by the CHILEAN government, is thus mar
rated by a correspondent of the New York
Herald
On the 18th inst. the brig Townsend Jones,
of New York, Joseph Janvrin, master, was
q taken in tow by the Chilean war steamer
Maule, and brought from the outer roads to
within pistol shot of the mole, where she was
. moored securely. The Maule had not only
"a the Chilean flag flying from her gaff, but the
pennant of commander floating from her mast
head. 1t was, in fact, a capture of an unof-
Tending merchant vessel by a Chilean man-of-
war without any form of trial or process what
ever. This was done by order of the Intend
oDhO III OlCC oODSO vi SpAOo III CCh
said to have reported that part of her cargo
(arms and aEmunition) had been struggled
ashore and sold to revolutionists. A more
Veritable cdndrd never was gotten up. Not a
musket nor cartridge had left her. Neverthe-
less, although the captain was ready for sea,
and had sought clearance for a distant port
although he offered every facility for a thor
oughGoyerhauling of his cargo-a party of
Custom HoussI officers board the brig. broke
open the matches, and, in spite of the earnest
remonstrances and protest of-the captain
against so unceremonious a disposal of his car
go, discharged the brig by force, sending one
portion of it to the public magazines, five miles
off, another to the artillery barracks, a third on
board a hulk in the barber, discovering, when
they got.through, a mares nest of most ponder
Gus proportions, and that not an ounce of pow
der nor a single flint had left the vessel. Cap
tain Janvrin only remained on board long
enough to have this fact clearly proven and
acknowledged in the presence of competent wit
nesses, and then, formally protesting against,the
forcible seizure of his cargo, hauled Town his
flag, and calling his crew together, abandoned
the Townsend Jones and her cargo to the
government of Chile"
The Herald's correspondent adds: "Again
and again do the American residents of Chill
ask, why have we not at least one American
man-of-war upon this coast p Unless one soon
arrives I fear she will find no American inter-
ests to protect"
30 A despatch from Washington, dated Wednes-
day, says that the United States war vessels
Levant, Wyoming and Lancaster, which are TO
comprise part of the Pacific squadron, will
visit Chill in view of our unsettled affairs with
country, and the recent outrages on our
citizens. 1t is known that instructions have
been forwarded to our Minister, Gov.
BIGLER, to demand redress for the outrages
committed. In regard to the case of our Con-
sui at Valparaiso, DR.. TREvITT, who Las as
jealous and as many friends among the De-
mocracy of Ohio, and particularly in this quar-
ter of the State, as any man who has been con-
nected with our State Government, it gives us
great pleasure to be assured that the Admins
tration at Washington acted with its usual
promptness and decision. The proper %instruc-
tions to the American Minister, to demand am
pie PREPARATION for theSindignity offered DR. TREY
TIT and family by the pusillanimous authori-
at Valparaiso, have gone forward. The
presence of our men-ofwar with their long
guns will furnish arguments which the coward
race which misgovern that country can read,
and will. be inclined to listen to. In common
the Doctors friends throughout Ohio, we
shall await with much anxiety the result of the
demand, and means to enforce it, which have
been adopted by our government.
