od Mr. Greene, in October, ISnO, not to interfere
ivith the vessel <>f the eninpuny, and in November
rtf'that year again instructed liim to make (Jrev
tOAVu a free port, it is difficult to believe tliat these
instructions could have been Countermanded,ns no
cause therefor is known to exist.
Perhaps it may tie Haiti that, although .San Juan
he regarded as a free port, that only means that no
duties of impost shall be levied or collected on
goods, atul does not imply that port charges are
not To tie paid by masters of vessels as in other
ports. This Government, however, cannot consent
to the ‘collection of port charges at San Juan by
British shins of war, or that their collection should
be enforced by t hem.
The occurrence above referred to lias created
equal surprise and regret, and lias caused tlie Pres

Legation of tiie United States,
138 Piccadilly, December 19, 1851.
Tlie undersigned, Enxoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of
America, is directed by tlie President of the United
States to call the attention of Viscount Palmerston
ber Britannic Majesty’s principal Secretary ol
State for foreign Affairs, to an outrage committed
on tlie United States steamship “Prometheus,” be
longing to the American Atlantic and Pacific Ship
Canal Uompuny, by the British brig of war ‘•Ex
press,” at San Juan del Norte, in November last.
It appears that the “Prometheus” was under
Avcigli at San Juan, Avitli about five hundred pas
sengers, for tlie purpose of making a voyage to
New York, when the city authorities of Sun .loan
boarded tier with a police force, and served a pro
cess of attachment on the ship uml captain for one
hundred and twenty three dollars, claimed by
those authorities ns port dues, w hich the captain
refused to pay. Thereupon the “Express” inline
dintd,v set under weigh, made sail for tlie steamer
an t when within n quarter of u mile of her tired
a round shot over her forecastle, amt a few minutes
afterwards another shot over tier stem, which
passed so near that its force was distinctly felt by
several persons on board. The captain of the
steamer then sent a boat on board the brig to in
quire tlie cause of tlie firing. The commander of
the brig replied that it was to protect tlie author!
ties of Greytown in their demands, and that if the
steamer did not immediately anchor lie would lire
a bomb-shell into her ; nud lie ordered bis guns to
lie loaded with grape and canister. The steamer
tlien proceeded to tlie anchorage and anchored.
The brig anchored very near her, sent about on
board with orders that tlie tires should be extin
guished, am! to say that an officer would he sent to
see that this aviis done. The imthoriCies then
came on board, tlie amount demanded was paid tin
dor protest, and the steamer w as permitted to pro
coed to sen. It further npnearstlial the captain of
the “Express” acted undertho authority and by
order of a Mr. Greene, wlm claims to be t lie Brit
ish Consul at.!nan.
Tlie Government of the United States lias learn
ed of these proceedings with great surprise and
regret. It cannot consent, to the collection of port
charges at San Juan by British ships of war, or
that their collection should be enforced by them.
The President immediately on receiving intelli
gence of these events, gave orders for the dispatch
of an armed vessel to San Juan. Me lias also
caused the undersigned to be instructed to inquire
of Viscount Palmerston whether the captain of the
“Express” acted pursuant toorders from her Ma
jesty’s Government, and whether his course is ap
proved '
The undersigned is also directed to state that if
these questions shall he answered in the affirmative
the President will consider the proceedings as a
violation of the treaty of tlie 19th of April, 1850,
by which Great Britain lias stipulated not to make
use ofany protection which she may afford Niea-
I ragua, the Musquito Coast, or any part of Central
America, for the purpose of assuming or exercising
dominion aver the same.
The undersigned avails himself of tlie opportu
nity afforded I>A these instructions to renew to Vis
count Palmerston the assurances of his disitnpuish
ed consideration. Aiuioit Lawrence.

I eeive the seals of office tliis day. Lord Palmers
ton is said to have sent in hi* resignation on Friday

communication upon the subject of tlie tiring upon

Express at Sait Juan. I called at the Foreign Otfies

by Lord Stanley of Aiderly, the under Secretary of

reply to my note could not be given until thoinstal
i lution of Earl Granville had taken place. 1 shall
j address a note to T.ord John Russell and request

] vilie’s reply, whose decision must be governed by

I tributes it to a difference of opinion w ith tlie Cab

I you the Yurioun opinions entertained of Lord Pal

i tk-kitowledgc the receipt of tbe note which Mr.
. l.nwreine, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
| I'leui|*ot,-ntiarx ~f the United State* of America,
1 addressed to Viscount Palmerston on the 19tli inst.,
i complaining of the proceedings of the captain of
1 her Majesty*! brig of war Express, on the occasion
I of the captain of the American Atlantic and Pacific
j Ship Uamil Company's vessel Prometheus refusing
i to pay certain harbor dues ot the port of Greytown,
| Mosquito.
‘ i Tiie undersigned begs, in reply, to state tliat. in
1 conformity with tlie advice which her Majesty's
■ Government gave to the Government of Mosquito.
1 when tlie treaty of Washington of tlie loth of
• April, 18,'s', was concluded between Great Britain
and the United States, the Mosquito Government
dcei-leJ tliat tile \a->els and go-slsof all nations
should, without distinction, be, from the first of
, January.*lßsl. exempt from the j<ayinent of all
. duties whatever at tbe port of Greytown. But the
' • town council of the place, in order to raise a small
revenue to provide t-*r some lew unavoidable ex*
]ic-uses, resolved, at one of their meetings tliat
] certain taxes and dues slum Id be levied to supply,
in amne measure, tiie place of the revenue Avliicb
would have been obtained if tbe customs’tariff’bad
j not lieen abolished.
This council, w hich is composed of two English- !
| men, two citizens ot tiie United >tat«.*s, a French- -
I man, and a native of Greytown, a highly intelligent |
I merchant, accordingly pa**ed a resolution bv i
Iwiik-h certain small harbor due*, amounting in the '
w;: •!« to aliout eleven dollars on c-aeli vessel, were i
iuqseed on shipping frequenting tlie |*.rt of!
(* l ex tOWII.
Mr. Jjtwrenee will sec, therefore, tliat the abo\e ;
in. utioned harbor dues xvere not imposed by the
: a iviee of her Majesty’s Government. With regard |
i tiie enforcement of these dues, the undersigned !
iiegs to assure Mr. Lawrence that the captain of j
the Express did not act on tlie occasion in question I
in consequence of any order* from her Majesty's |
Government; and. as far as her Majesty'.*Govern
incut am at present informed, no report, upon tiie
subject having vet been received from Grevtown, !
the captain of tbe Express nut mar* to have exceeded
hi* proper authority. Her .Majesty's Government,
however, may expect very shortly to receive direct
from the officer concerned accounts of the Irans
aetimi which forms the snhjer-t of Mr. Lawrence's
j note: and Mr. laiAvrenee -hail thereupon receive a
j further communication. Mr. Lawrence may, in tlie
meanwhile, rest assured that it i* far frotii the in
tention of her Majesty’* Government to authorize’
any proceeding at variance w ith the stipulations of
i the Tre-atv of Washington of the lfitli of April, i
l'.’-o: ami that they most deeply regret any trans ;

Forkion Office, January in, 1852.
Tho undersigned, her Britannic Majesty’s Sec
retary of Slate for Foreign Affairs. has tho honor
to acquaint Mr. Lawrence, Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary from tiie United
States of America, that tier Majesty’s Government
have just received from the V ice Admiral, com
maudiiig her Majesty’s Naval Forces in the West
Indies, a report upon the subject of the “Prome
theus,” which is to tlie following effect: That, 5n
arriving at St. Thomas’s, the Admiral received a
despatch from the commander of her Majesty's
sloop “Express,” stating that, on the requisition
of Mr. James Greene, her Majesty’s Consul at
Greytown, who is also a principal officer of the
Musquito Government at tliat place, lielmd by
force compelled tbe American steamship Prome
theus to pay the port dues demanded of her bv
the authorities of Greytown.
T’o tliis despatch Vice Admiral Sir George Scy
moor had itinnedialely replied, by saying that nei
ther lie, nor to bis knowledge her Majesty’s Consul
bad received any orders to allow her Majeety’s
ships to be employed in sncli a service, or in en
forcing the fiscal regulations of Musquito; the
sole object of the presence of British ships of war
at Greytown being to defend tbe town ami inhabi
tants from aggressive attempts to deprive the Mos
quito Government of possession, pending a set
tlement by negotiation of the question relative to
its future position. Sir George Seymour had fur
ther expressly forbidden the commander of the
“Express” from again employing force to compel
the levy of duties for tbe Musquito Government.
The undersigned has now to state to Mr. Abbott
Lawrence, for the information of. his Government
tliat her Majesty’s Government fully approve of
the Vice Admiral’s conduct in tiiis matter; and
that they entirely disavow the act of violence com
mitted by the commander of the “Express,” and
also the requisition from her Majesty’s Consul,
under which tlie commander acted, so far as lie
acted by any authority derived from tlie British ’
Crown.
Under these circumstances, her Majesty's Gov
ernment have no hesitation in offering an ample
apohigv for that which they consider to have been an
infraction of tre. c At engagements; and her Majesty's
Government (level, w ithout loss of time, and im
mediately -upon T) Je receipt of the official intelli
gence above alluded to. inasmuch as in their opin
ion it would be unworthy of the government of a
great nation to hesitate about making due repara
tion w hen the act- of their subordinate authorities
had been such as not to admit of justification. As
lier Majesty’s Government have full confidence
that the Government of the United States is actu
ated by a similar feeling, they hope that this mu
tual confidence will induce Caeli nation to refer at
once to each other in all eases of sncli disputes;
and until due time has elapsed for tire necessary
explanations to Vie received,to defer taking any steps
xvliieh might lead to collisions, and thus aggravate
the original difficulty.
The undersigned requests Mr. Abbott Lawrence
to accept the assurances of his highest considera
tion. Granville.

The strongest proof of the value and excellence of a me.
dicine, is the general approbation with which it is received
hy a discerning and intelligent community: It is not our
desire to trifle with the lives of our fellow beings, and in
crease the stock of misery to which poor human nature is
constantly liable; but in presenting this valuable medicine
to the public, to adduce the most undoubted facts of its su
perior excellence in the treatment and cure of those dis
eases for which it is designed. This preparation has been
but a short time before tlie people; but short as that time
has been, it has secured a most remarkable reputation.
Persons who have tried it, tender their testimony in its
praise; and it is our unqualified opinion that it lias already
saved hundreds of persons from a premature grave. It
has cured cases that were considered hopeless. It has giv
en relief to violent Coughs, Asthma, Whooping Cough,
Measles, Bronchitis, Bleeding of the Lungs, and other af
fections of thcvfhest and lungs, in a shorter space of time
and more safely and effectively than any other preparation
with which we are acquainted, and we take pleasure in sta
ting that we have the concurrent testimony of some of the
most distinguished and talented medical men of the country,
in behalf of this preparation. We have also received from
some of the most intelligent Planters, Merchants, and Drug
gists, the strongest proofs of its value and increasing popu
larity.
Subjoined are a few extracts from some of tlie letters
which we have recently received. No better testimony can
be adduced of its rapid advance in public favor :

To H. V. M. Miller.
My Dear Sh :—1 have read with much interest
: and instruction your valuable letter of tlie 30th
nit., to the Hon. John 11. Lumpkin. And though
j it was '‘not intended for publication,” Judge
Lumpkin had the good sense to. make it public,
and thus to confer upon the people of Georgia a
■ lesson of your wisdom which your modesty would
j have forever excluded from the light. You arc
ritrht, sir, in saying that the Constitutional Union
Party, without a union with one of the “great Na
tional parties,” will be “contemptible in size.” I
am with yon with all inv heart. What is the use
of having a party unless it has “size” enough
to confer “political power,” and to enable us to
rule the country and till all the offices ! None at
all, sir, none at all. lt|is true that you and I have
talked loudly about the pri/tcipiet of the Union
j party: and I was silly enough to think tliat they
! were of some importance ; but on reading your
letter, I saw at once that it is perfect folly to be
; making a noise about principles, for they are of no
' sort of consequence—it is the "size” of the party
tliat makes it respectable, not its principles. Let
; us, therefore, “issue orders” at once to “disband”
i the Union party, and unite with the freesoilers
and alfolitionists North, and the secessionists and
disnsioniats South, and “send delegates to the
Baltimore Convention,” and if we do not then
have a party with “size” sufficient to satisfy
the most grasping few “political power” 1 am great
ly deceived. When we do this what a huge party
wc will have ! Ought we not to form tlie union at
once ! “And as a mere question of polith.'ul]Kiw
er there cannot Iro n doubt of its propriety.” It is
not the quality bf tlie party that is to be 'admired,
but it is the (paOUity tlrat Is to bo sought, for it
alone can give ‘(jrolitieal power.” You, doctor,
tuo a physician, and understand these things.
When von are caned to see a patient you are not
so “stupid” as to trouble your brain about tlic
quality of the medicine to be administered. If
yea can get your patient to take a dose large enough,
to swallow a pill of sufficient “size”, you have no
tears ah ,ut the result. The principle* of the Union
l'i'rt.v : Away with principle, give me quantity—
give me “size.” and lam content. With these, 1
can have enough “political power.”
1 thank yon. Professor, for writing to Judge
Lumpkin. And surely the metnlrcrsof the Union
P*cty will thank you most h.- artiiy for your teach-"
mg them the importance of “size” in party organi
zation*. it' the Nashville ('onventionrsts hud only so 1
managed it as to have prevented their partv from
being -contemptible in size,” manv gentlemen
miglit have taken their seats in that distinguished
assemblage who refused to at tend it or treat it even
with decent respect. So much for tlie want of "size.”
Henceforth, 1 hope to understand the importance
ol tour principles. All my life 1 have been kept
from the exercise of “political power” bv acting
witba party wanting in “size." If your letter bad
been published ten years ago, I might row have
been occupying a liigh political positum. Certain I
am, that 1 shouUl have been iu Congress long since
if the party I have been foolish enough toilet with
had possessed “size” sufficient.
\ cry Respectfully, Shout.

turday afternoon, a* the schooner J. \V. Anderson
wa •coming up the river, with a quantity of Railroad
Iron from the Br. ship Juno, and when near the
wrecks, a sudden burst of wind struck tlie schoon
er which capsized her. She had about one thou

The mysterious disappearance of a man named

Baltimohi:. Feb. 12.—Meirunry’s Circular of the
27th ult., says that the demand for Cotton since
the sailing of the Europium tlio 2-lth-ull., bad in
creased, and that the sales for the three days
amounted to 82,000 bales, 12,000 of which were
taken by exporters and speculators. Prices had
advanced barely an cigtli of a penny. The ex
ports were of qualities below Middling. The Cir
cular further says that the, advices of the reduced
crop and the gradual upward movement in prices
in America, had brought about a much more hope
ful feeling, which induced many to think that if no
cause should exist to produce a decline in the ex
ports from America, there would he much less
reason to apprehend any decline taking place in
the demand in Liverpool, iuasmuch as the Man
chester manufacturers were well supplied with or
ders at remunerating prices.
England. —Wo do not find in our English papers
anything to justify the excitement in which some
of our contemporaries indulge respecting a “ ru
mored war between France and England, neither
do we believe there is any probability of such »
catastrophe. It is true that England has recently
hern looking after her defences, putting some into
has always been in the habit of occasionally doing.
Equally true is it that the newspapers and news
paper writers jump to the conclusion that there is
peril brewing, which such gentlemen have done
on such occasions from the time newspapers were
established. The condition of the commercial and
money market is the full refutation of such non
sense.
We do not think that any of these movements
in England have any special reference to France,
or originate in any fear of rupture with her. It. is
more probable, we conceive, that Great Britain lias
resolved to give a strong negative answer to Russia
and Austria, which powers have more than once
almost demanded that England shall no longer be
a refuge for political offenders ; and is disposed to
show those despotisms that she is quite prepared
to stand by her refusal to comply with the de
mand.
Fntnee. —The resignation of Count de Montal
embert is mentioned in tlie letter of our Loudon
correspondent. It. took place on the 28d January,
the letter of resignation assigning as the cause the
decree of the I'resident confiscating the property
of the children of Louis Philippe, which luid been
promulgated without having been eren named
to the Consultative Commission. Count M. “ap
peals to tlie honor of the Minister of the Interior,
and if necessary to that of Prince Louis Napoleon
himself, to make the resignation public” by it* in
sertion in the Mnniteur.
The letter of' resignation from M. Unpin, of his
' office of Proetireurof the Court of Cassation, com
ments with manly frankness upon tlie decree, de
claring that “ it violates in its essence the very prin
ciple of property,” and he adds—
Public right, will, special laws, contracts, all have
recognised in the hands of tlie Princes of the
Home of • trleans their right to the property which
the decree of the22d of January deprives them of,
and in a manner so absolute that the sacred right
of the tomb, the burial ground of Dveitx, is not
even excepted. If the constitution of the loth
January was in vigour, the Senate might he ap
pealed to in virtue of tlie 26th article, which per
mits that body “ to make opposition to the promul
gation of laws which are contrary to the inviolable
character of properly.” In the present stute of
things, the only recourse is to appeal to you, Prince,
and to invoke your wisdom and the magnanimity
of your own feelings when they are again consulted
and more deliberately listened to. But if these
rigorous measures are to he maintained, a great
scruple arises from the depth of my conscience.
As l’rociircur General to the Court of Cassation
for nearly 22 years; as the principal organ of the
law in that high branch of jurisdiction; charged
as 1 am by tlie Government to proclaim the con -
stant respect to right, and to require the reversal
and the annulling of the acts which violate the
laws, or which constitute the incompetence or tlie
excesses of the Government, —how shall I he able
henceforth to exercise the same firmness if acts arc
introduced in our legislation which are in contra
diction with those principles ? I feel myself bound,
therefore, to tender you my resignation. But I
pray you, Prince, and in an earnest manner, not to
misunderstand my motives. The resolution 1 have
adopted has nothing to do witli politics. As Presi
dent of tlie late Assembly I rigorously kept myself
aloof from parties and their fatal divisions, and
limited mvsclf to maintain, as much as 1 indi
vidually could, tlie legal and moral doctrines on
which the essential order of civilised society re
poses.
After the coup </’ (tat of tlie 2d of December,
against which it became my duty to nrotest, as I
have done, 1 awaited the judgment ot the people
appealed to by von. After that solemn judgment
1 adhered frankly to the immense powers which
were tlie result oi" that appeal, considering them as
tlie strongest guarantee that could be presented to
preserve or re-estahlisli those principles which n
wide Socialism had endangered mid munneed ; and,
as a public functionary, my co-operation was loy
ally given to you. But, at the present moment,
anil on a question of civil right, and of private
l ights, of natural equity, and of all Christian no
tions of what is just and unjust, and which 1 have
cherished in my soul for more than 50 years as ju
riscomtitUe and as magistrate, I feel myself abso
lutely called on to resign my functions ns Proeu
reur-Gcnerul.

The Mnniteur publishes tlie following note of
ficially communicated;
The Government cannot refute all the reports
which malevolence incessantly puts into circula
tion ; the rigorous measures which have been im
posed by necessity have naturally produced u
strong impression on the public min’d, which daily
supposes that the Government will he obliged to
adopt others of evert greater severity. The state
of tlie country is far from justifying such fears.
Without in any way relaxing in necessary funnies*
against the enemies of order, the Government v*"
not for the future have need of any ewi vmml
measures; and tlie normal action or the political
belies', the organization of which is h*mg rapidly
proceeded with, will suffice to the work
of the 2d December.
The correspondent of the. Loudon Times says
that from 400 u to 5000 per tons attended the Presi

Several journals, as well of Paris as in J3 C l_'

late French Assembly at this moment r< sident in
Brussels wore about to publish periodical, and oc
casionally political, writings in this city. Tho
truth is, that all the refugoc* now dwelling amongst

po&ed upon them by the hospitality which they
have claimed, and on what condition tlieir presence
may he permitted on tho Belgian territory. Wo
cannot suppose that any of tl - m would think of
I departing from that reserve which their situation
