Brown came and saw that the battery must be tukenor the whole ar- my sacrificed. Scott sees that now, although he did not see it when he might have preserved his gallant brigade by rushing on the battery, with the bayonot, inthe beginning, instead of standing 200 or 300 yards off, plying it ineffectually with mus! try, and equal- ly ineffectually with artillery. Ho sees it now, when charge the author and executor of this decisive are in their graves, and he endeavors to sirip them both of tie merft of the achievement. Ho says: “The regiment of the heroic Miller was dispatched on the perilous service of silencing the British battery on the heights. Gen. Scott volua- toered ners, u out a s! to lead the way, and did so through the dark- p to the point of attack”? This is out and hameful falsehood. We have in the autobi- ography. a wood-cut with Gen. Scott on {horseback leading Miller's rogiment to the attack. Now, of the survivors of that battle two are in Washington city, aud will both testify, that Soott was nover heard of Lofore in connection with that charge. He was thrown back some five hundred yards from the heights to gather his broken brigudo, and while he was thus employed, Brown interposed Porter's aud tipley’s brigades,and took the battle into his own Ri hands. Tt was at this crisis, when Scott was out of the battle entirely, that Brown’s first movement was to storm the battery. Brown says himself that McCrea, ot his staff and principal engineer, suggested it as soon as they were in the field. Ripley also saw the necessity of it and mentioned it to Miller, Miller’s letter to Brown proves that. the General-in. chief personally gave the order. Miller, in » letter to Brown, says: ‘The fact is, vena the order to storm an attery, I obeyed it as soon%as after receiving from d take the enemy’s ssible, with m: regiment.” In Riploy’s trial, where this point is closely scanned as the leading incident of the battle, Scott is not mentioned as having being consulted even, much less acting in it.

Some of our own made 2 8i iar claim, but the | Englieh government refused to sanction it. Our ag- riculturists and ship owners were too deeply intorest- ed in the result to omit to urge every available plow for treating those precious rocks as the common property of all who might choose to visit them. But | the rights of the Peruvian ropublio were so clearly | indisputable tat our foreign Seoretary had no | choice but to deciare that British subjects could not be protected in carrying off the, property of Peru against her will. Perhaps the ai cans may have derived afresh stimulus from tho thought that they are secking what England has fail- ed to obtain. At all events, it is difficult to believe that the real grounds of the Peruvian claim are known | lor of the Ameri- either to the people or to the government of the Uni- ted States. The facts, however, are so fow and simple that continued ignorance will be inexcusable. brief summary will convince any Huropean, at loast, that Peru hag right on herside, if sho hasnot might. The Lobos Islands—that is, the islands of the sea-wolves or seals—consist of two groups, lying re- spectively about twelve and forty-one miles from the coast of Peru. Their Spanish namo, and their proximity to the continent, would alone make it primé facie probable that they were, from an early period, reckoned as part of the dominions of S: and that they therefore belong to the It which has now succeeded to her rights. ‘Vi. abundant evidence that they have, in po been 80 treated by the Spani=b » .(! wobabi wu the longitude of which is « places a group of islands, ins: ithin the territory of 1 the bottom, tuat the In 1748, two emi which was in all sobos,” Ww in a note vered in 1574. ain, public is “Ama ed’ fron Boledo, d orities. were first disco- Spanish navign- tors, Juan and D’Uiloa, published a narrative of voyages, in whioh the Islands of Lobos are specially mentioned by name ag one of the or at lenst to be sighted, by vessels bound to Paita; end in 1787, Alcedo, im his ‘ Geographical and Historical Dictionary”: ints to be made, an authority which even Mr Webster, in the despatch we published yester- day, affects to respzct, while attempting to evade its decision—particularly des rib ea them as com- ytized within the vice-royalty of Peru. Accord- ingly, when, in 1834, the British schooner Campea- dora was employed in geal fishing off the islands, without the permission of the Peruvian government, the local authorities laid an embargo on the vossal. It is material to bearin mind that, as guano was rot then known as an article af foreign commerce, it was not forthe sake of thut recently developed source of wealth that the Peruvian government thus treated the islands as part of its possessions. The matter was brought under the notice of Lord Pal- merston, who was then foreign Secretary, and ho acquiesce: cleims of i ori. without the slightest hesitation, iu the In 1817, the government of the republic had a survey made of all the placas within its dominions where guano was found, and in (hat survey the Lobos Islands are minutely describ- cd, and the amount of their stores carofully osti- mated.

Appli- cation was made, not long ago, to our government, for leave to romove this guano, so fortilizing valuable a8 @ manure. The British government, re- specting the presumed Poruvian ownership, declined sanctioning this proposed morcantile invasion of the island by British craft. Tho United States, on the other hand, have sanctioned the removal of the gu- ano, irrespective of the claims of Peru on the eae On tho part of Peru it is alleged “ that she has sl. ways exercised authority over them; that they be- long to Poru, as they formerly belonged to Spain ; and that from tims immemorial the Poruvian In- dians have been in the habit of visiting them torthe purpose of catohing seals, killing birds, aud gathor. ing eggs, and that oxclusive right to the islands by Peru bas never been doubted or disputed.” The American reply, per contra, is ** That the Lobos, or or Seal Islands as their name imports, lie .in the open Pacific Ocean, the nearest of them twenty or thirty miles from the comet of Peru. “They are mere barrea rocks in the sea, uninhabted and uninhabitable. the pursuit of amphibious animals, Geren? the seal, have Jong been carried on around their shores, and even on those shores themselves, since it i Whenever the wolf wants a oolor- is woll known that seals are usually taken aad killed upon the land. In these pursuits and in this use of the islanda citizens of the United States ware engaged place by the Peruviaa government or anybody elso, their visita to them having commenced at least as early as 1793. If Poru heid and possessed full so- vereiguty over these islands, this fishing near the shore, and this pureuit and killing of amphibious | animals upon the land, was as much an invasion of | that sovereignty as is the taking of guano from them now.” Further, that, in 1833, there was ‘ a for- mal remonstrance on the part of the United States against the asserted sovereignty of Peru over the Lobos Islands, to which no answer, so far as it ap- pears, was given, nor an intimation made that not- withstanding this remonstrance the decree would be enforced ;” and that ‘if Peru hag suffered these barren rocks to be visited and used by citizons of the United States for a long course of time, and for all the purposes for whioh they were known to bo valuable, id the case altered when thoy are found capable of a new use? Is not the natural inference either that Peru never claimed any exclusive right over the islands, or that if such claim had been made by any formal or official act of government, such claim had been abandoned, at least eo far as citizens of the United States were concerned.” Al- #0, “ that the islands are not the property of Peru, as beyond the distance of a cannon shot, or three marine wiles from the shore, this being the supposed limit to which a defence of the coast, from the land itself, can be extended.” The United Statos, therefore, (having deter- mined to remove the guano from the Lobos Islands), claims the right of doing so, because it has long exercised the privilege of treating theso islands ag general property, and bas remonstrated against bo- lng interrupted in doing so. ** If,” says Mr. Web- ster, “it shall turn out that, as has been intimated above, those islands sre uninhabited and uninhabi- table, and therefore incapable of boing legally pos- sessed or held by any oue nation, they aud’ their contents must be considered as the common property of all. Or, if unprotected by the presence of Peru- vian authorities, and without actual possession, their uve has been by Peru abandoned or conceded, without limitation of time, tizens of the United States for a long period, or yielded in consequence of the remonstrauces of this government or its agents, then no exclusive ownership can bo pre- tended, as aguinst the United St ut least.””” In tlie mean time, citizens of the Unite Tigke to defend ther vee or t! the prosecution of any com islands,” are to re hould they be a actual robbery, th sin that quar’ Lite.
