From Washington
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE bill reported by
Mr.. Mason to day in the Senate from the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations set out with the declara
tion that by reason of the distracted and revolu-
tionary condition of Mexico, and certain of the
States of Central America, and occasionally of
those In South America, the lives and property of
the American citizens subject to lawless vio-
lence, otherwise placed in PERIL that redress in
the usual forms of diplomacy is unattanable and
that is manifest that such state of things is liza
BILE to continue. 1t being the unquestionable duty
OF the Government to protect the persons and
property of our citizens from lawless violence
without the limits of the United States the Presi-
dent is authorized at his discretion, to use the
naval and military power of the country for that
purpose.
1t appears from a report of the Secretary of the
Secretary Of the Treasury, that the result of the
Mission of Ripper Alexander to England to fix the
value of the coins of the United States, is not so
encouraging as the Secretary had hoped. He
remarks, it is for Congress- to say what additional
steps shall be taken. England invites the United
States to submit its plan for that purpose.
The Mexican and Central American Colonization
Association have added Arizona to their plan of
settlement 1t is understood to be supported by
prominent Southerners and New Workers. They
have already purchased certain grants and are
negotiating for others in Arizona General Hen
ningsen, as Chief Engineer, will, probably the en-
suing spring or summer, take out large body of
men.

ADVENTURES OF BELGIAN SAILoR.-A Belgian
vessel, called the Leopold, ran in violent storm on
rock, on the 18th April last, one of the Falk
land Islands, on the coast of Patagonia, and went
to pieces. 1t was supposed that all her crew, nine
IN mum Der, and their officers, had perished. But
the authorities of 0send have just received letter
from sailor, named Decerk, of that town, one of
the crew, announcing that he alone escaped. 1t
appears that he swan from the wreck with the
captain and some of the men towards an island
which they saw near, but he alone reached it, the
others being drowned by the violence of the sea.
He found no inhabitants on the island, and had to
live on some bits of bread which had been washed
ashore wild celery, and some birds, which he killed
with sticks. He happened to have matches on him.
and succeeded in lighting fire, which he fed with
turf. To make his fire burn WELL he partly sur
rounded it with planks washed ashore from
the wreck. In the night of the 9th, the wind blew
these panks into the fire, and they were consumed
He thought this terrible misfortune but it was
the means of saving him. An American shin hap
pened to be passing two miles off, and seeing the
rising smoke-an extraordinary thing on a desert
isand-some of her crew disembarked. They found
the poor fellow crouching over the fire, and on
hearing his tale they took him on board, provided
for his wants. and on the lst of June landed him at
port of Stanley. The Belgian sailor does not give
the name of the ship, but says the captains name
was Smyley, and he expresses the warmest graft
tude to him and his crew.-LoRdon Nelos, Dec 90,
