difficulty is reported between the COM
mander of the British war steamer Chan
tieleer and the Mexican authorities. The

gerous position, and fired signal guns fol-
| assistance. A pilot went out and re-
leased the ship from danger, but the Cap

dered, and ent to Mazatlsn. The Col
| lector of the port of Mazatlan noticed

veying specie aboard to avoid export
/ duty, and had him arrested. On search
| ing him, gold was found on his person
| The Captain of the Chandelier came
ashore in great excitement, and declared
/ that his vessel and himself were insuiteO
| by the search of his su69Tdinates. Some
/ words followed which ended by the Col.
! Ieetor ordering the Captain to be searched
under the impression that he, also, wa:
! implicated in smuggling.
The captain then went aboard the
| Chanticleer, and notified the inhabitants
| by a proclamation, that be was about tC
! lombard Mazatlan for the insult Offered

between Commander Bridge, Gen. Cor
ona and the civil authorities.

the port of MazatIsn under blockade, 81

dignifted language thst il he had recls
nation TO make, he would make it in To
manner customary with civilized nations
and through the proper channel.
