n WAR CLOUD ON THE MEXICAN
PACIFIC COAST.

The New York Herald Of the fourth in
stant contains an interesting letter from its
Mazatlau correspondent, relating some of
the particulars ofa difficulty that has lately
sprung up between Captain Bridge, of II.
B. NJ, war steamer Chauticieer, anl the GUS
tomhouse authorities at Naza.lan. The
immediate cause of difficulty was the arrest
Of Captain Bridge and his Paymaster on
the wharf while going to their ship. They
were taken to the custOmbouse and
searched, and three hundred and sixty,eight
dollars in gold taken from the Paymaster.
Captain Bright alleges that they were
charged with smuggling specie on board
the manofwar to avoid the export
duty. The Mexican officials on the
other hand allege that the Chanticleer was
short time before oil the coast in peril
Gus situation, and fired gun for assistance.
A pilot went to her assistance and released
her from danger. For this service Captain
Bright refused to pay, but proceeded to
Mazatlal. The customhouse officers of that
port we're therefore notified that British
manof.war was engaged in smuggling specie
On board, aud On this information tho ar
rest, search, and seizure were made.
Neither of the stories is very clear or very
much to the point; but the subsequent oc-
currences are related in lucid manner.
Captain Bright went on board his ship and
Immediately notified the authorities of the
town of his intention to lombard the city,
| and also declared the port blockaded.
Several communications passed between
the Captain and General Corona, the mill
tary commandaLt, but the latter declared
he had no jurisdiction over civil affairs. At
the instance of Mr.. Session, the American
consul, the bombardment was postponed.
1t was represented that twothirds of the
property in Mazatlan is owned by foreign.
ers, Englishmen as well as others, and that
the pecuniary interest OF the natives, the
offending parties, was very small, and not
liable to much injury.
The blockade, however, was kept up at
last accounts. American shipping is alone
permitted to pass out and in the
port without obstruction. The notice of
the intention To lombard was still pending,
however. Instructions had been asked for
from the British Admiral on the Pacific
coast. It was believed he would order a
general blockade of all the Mexican ports
on the Pacific coast.
The United States steamer sawanee had
been ordered to Mazatlan TO look after
American interests.
The intimation is given out that the dem
onstration made by the British Captain is
the result Of a premeditated policy, and that
an attempt will be made by Great Britain
to occupy the Pacific coast of Mexico.
Much personal feeling and bitterness is
manifested against the Mexican custom
house authorities by Captain Bright, and
he has shown a strong desire to get some
Of them on board his ship for the purpose
Of Furnishing them.

New Orleans is not alone In trouble about
the city finances, as the following from the
Galveston Bulletin will show;
The city police make another complaint
against our city fathers. They say their
wages were reduced from Sl00 in scrip to
what they supposed was SO in currency.
Now they neither get scrip or currency; or
if they do, it is by the very hardest. What
is the matter? The police should be paid,
either in scrip nor currency. Either pay
ceive-S75 in currency-or 500 in scrip
as formerly. Many on the force are men Of
families, and if they are disappointed in re-
ceiving regularly what is due them, their
families and children must suffer. Let this

An Anecdote Of General Sheridan.
In his account of the battle of Fishers
Hill, Capt. James Franklin Fits tells the
following story of Sheridan, and how the
battle came to be fought on the day it was
As evening approached, upon the day of
the fight, Sheridan had entirely completed
his dispositicns and had his army in hand
to his entire satisfaction. His intention was
not, however, to attack that night, probably
csteeming it best to await the dawn of an
other morning; and he had withdrawn a
little way to the rear, where headquarters
had been hastily established, intending to
rest little, when a curious coincidence
changed his plans and sent him forward
that night to victory An aide rode up with
the announcement:
''Genernl Crook sends his compliments,
Sir, and says he is in position. He'd like to
have you Know, Sir. that his men are in
capital spirits.
''Glaj of it," said Sheridan. "Tell him
to stay where he is. -
In less than three minutes up came an
other aide, with another message.
"Gcneral Wright's compliments, general.
He is ready to attack any minute, and the
men are rather anxious for it. They were
never in better sprits.'
Good, again! !" responded Sheridan
TEL the general he will hear from me in
good time"
And hardly had he uttered the words
when aide number three came up at II gallop.
General Emory sends his compliments,
general. He told me to say to you that the
enemy has developed nothing but weak
picket on his left. The corps is in excel
lent spirits"
Well, now, by George!" exclaimed
Sheridan. " If the whole army is in sucl
good trim and temper for the work, why de
lay it? We won't, as sure as my name,

Butler and Grant--Thetr Differences

The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelnhia Tele0r0nh saws =

The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Telegraph says-
1t is understood that the difficulty be-
tween General Butler and General Grant
has been at last amicably arranged. The
friends of both parties have been engaged
for some time past in sort Of diplomatic
correspondence with the view to bringing
them together.
The chief actor in this business has been
George Wilkes, who has been here for some
weeks, ostensibly as spectator of the i'm
peachment trial, hut really as negotiator
between Generals Grant and Butler. Gen.
Buffers resentment against General Grant
has been very bitter.
He could not well forget the pungent crit
icism on his military services when he allud-
ed TO him in his report as being ''corked up
at Bermuda Hundred. After this had been
satisfactorily explained away by the diplo-
matte Wilkes, General Butler said that Gen.
eral Grant had insulted him by sending him
an invitation to his reception after having
stated to the country in his report that he
was ''corked up" This also was fully ex-
planned, and General Butler has at last con-
sented to smoke the pipe of peace,
