The city of San Juan del Norte is no more—'tis fetally annihilated. On the 12th inst. she was en- tirely destroyed. One or two buildings only remain to mark the spot where she once stood in allher glory, The U.S. ship Cyane arrived here on the 11th, fwenty-one days from New York, commissioned to settle certain money difficalties between American Citizens and the loval authorities ; also to demand an e@mple, fall and satisfactory apology for the wanton ‘and gross indignity sad insult offered some short fime since to Hon. Solon Borland, our minister to Cemtral America. The authorities and residents of Ehe town refused to make the slightest amends, either by payment of tne money claimed, or offering khe apology demanded. The demands were formally made by our able and excellent commercial agent, Mr. Fabius. After giving ample time, and no reply having been re- ceived, Oommsnier Holling, of the Cyane, on the 22th instant, issued a proclamation (three copies being posted up in the city),in which he pro- clsimed to the authorities and the residents, that ualeas the aum of money, twenty thousand dol Lare, I believe, demanded previously, was not paid, fand a full and sati~factory apology made for the in- palt offered Mr. Borland, by nine o’clock A, M. on the 15th instant, he should, without further notice, proceed to bombard the town. Nine o'clock arriv- @d—no movey—no apology came—nothing but con- | tinued insulting reports and remarks were heard up fo thetime. Within ove minute from the time de- Biguated by Captain Hollics, the cannonading com- menged,and with long intervals continued until three o'clock P. M. During the intervals, no dispo- sition was manifested on the part of the inhabitants fo come to terms for the saving of the property. At four o'clock, a party commanded by Lieut. Picker- ing, landed and burned the town. ’Iwas a splendid @ight— that burning of the town of San Juan—long to be remembered by every one who saw it. Two British men-of-war were in the harbor at the time +the steamer Dee and the schooner Bermuda. One ‘or two buildings were saved. San Juan had earned the reputation of being one Of the worst towns in this section ofthe world. Her reputation was jugt. She richly deserved it, and she ‘merited her fate. ' Sho has at last received her full Geserta, - No respectable man can regret her annihi- lation. Her rulers were entirely anti-American in feeling and principle. Capt. Hollins conducted the @ffair throughout in a most creditable manner. He is remarkable for his ju¢égment and goodsense. The Davy and the government may well be proud of auch on officer, Tlearn that the Cyane eaila for Boston on Monday. Bhe takes Mr. Fabius, commercial agent, home; she also takes the remains of Porser Ashman. He died here two years since, while the ship Decatur was Tying'here. Everything quiet. I regret to say that She health of the Cyane is quite bad. Many of the teew are down; officers quite well. G. THE WEST COAST OF MEXICO. Entoresting News—Progress of the Revoln- den—Ihe Whore Bisirict of Ajuchitian in Favor of Alvares— The Blockade and the Sloop.o1- War Portsmouth. We have received ou: files of the Boletin Oficral del Ejercito{Restaurador dda Libertad, (the organ of Alvarez, published in Acapulco) to the 3d inst. Wo mention is made of the rumored death, or even ft the sickness of the revolutionary chief, so that, as we anticipated, these reports were circulated in , the city of Mexico by Santa Anna’s friends with ome sinister design, and had no foundation in truth whatsoever. Far from being on the decline, as Mexican jour- ‘Dals would lead us to believe, the revolutios seems to be progressing with gigantic strides, and gain- | ing etrength, both morally and physically, day by @ay. The papers before us are filled with republi Cations of the animating addresses of Alvarez and his generals to their soldiers, during tho late ex Citing campaign, which ended in the disast: ous and cowardly retreat of the Dictator to his capital. Some of Commonfort’s despatches are also re- Published, with the object, no doubt, of keeping up @n enthusiasm in the minds of the people until the time has arrived for the grand and final stroke. The pews that we bave received on this occasion is scanty. Santa Anna’s troops se2m to be “non sant inventi—the revolutionists are omoipresent, end are gradually oxteading their influence over the whole country. In the firet place, the State of Chihnabua, with his Excellency Don Angel Trias at the head, has adopted the plan of Ayatla, (the revo- lutionary programme,) with some slight modifica- tions, An important movement: has been effected in the State of Sonora; and many people in the South of Gudalagara have proclaimed themselves in favor of the said plan,eud it will not be surprising Ifthe action of these States iv shortly felt in Sina. foo. The parties who have forwarded these advices ichis Excellency, the Commander-ia-Chief, assert Bhat the whole interior of the country is ready for a frneral rising, and that no other recourse is loft to the Dictator, but to fly for the third and last time, with that ignominy and disgrace which have ever distinguished him. ‘The Benor Don Jesus Villatha is said to be in the @i-trict of Tasco, wit a force of about two hundred men. This young man is the son of the celebrated guerilla chief, Don Fanstino, who caused such dis- asters to the forces of the osurper in the woods of Mezcala. The forces under the command of the guerilla Chief Don Juan Antonio, had « slight skirmish on the week previous tothe 27th of Jane, with the troops of Chilpautzingo, in the neighborhood of Quechultenango. The enemy lost thirteen men,with mine guns. Speaking of this affair, the Bolctin Bays :— If we wished to imitate the conduct of Banta Anna and his satellites,we could say, and with 8 good show of reason, much more about this ekir tmish than the hypocritical minister Don Santiago Bianco aid on his part,when, in Mexico, he de- Seribed the firing of our soldiers from their ambas- Cades. We do not, however, veck to exaggerate éaything, but simply wish to inform the public of passing events. Falsehood is no defence to a bad cause. Truth most prevail, and wil! ultimately shine forth in all its brilliancy. The revolution of the | @outh in the month of April last, was a small affhir —confined toa few square leagues of land ; but to- Gay, in the end of June, it has spread over the whole tepablic, Jf any love for his country yet oxists in ‘the bosom of Santa Anna, he will abandon his post, ‘@ni step oll further effusion of blood ; for it is use- [eos te endeavor to sustain his an‘hority, when it is Not based upon public approval.” Right hundred men in Torramazaps, in-lading | dAber commissioners from various people in the Qrountains of Tiapa, with a gallant guerilla chief, tein of their bead, have declared tm fever of the pian of Ayutla. Don Jesus Villalba, without the aid of his father, ia reported to bave entered Apetlanca, (district of ‘Teloapam) and routed the cavelry of “los ito manes,” who fied, leaving behind them thelr arms, and their horses. In Tetela del Rio, a tragedy, more serious than | any that has yet occurred there, is represented to have taken place. The people of this place, galled | by the tyranny of Commander Rios, appealed to | Captain Gouzales, who immediately came to their | aid with eighty men, and on bis appearance all the people simultaneously threw off the yoke of the ty- | rant, proclaiming themselves in favor of the plan of Ayutla, and then routed the upholders of despot. | ism. The result was, that the conquerors declared | themselves free from the iron government that had oppressed them, and having seized the artillery, armed and overcame their enemies, and the Com- mander Rios was shot in the pursuit that ensued. As coon asthe neighboring people of Tlacotepec heard of the successes of Tetela, and that the latter were freed from the troops of the Dictator, they also rose end declared in favor of the plan of Ayutla, and four delegates have appeared at the headquar- | ters of the army of restoration to offer their co-ope- ration with hig Excellency the General-in-Chief, re- iterating their protests of fidelity and adhesion to | his cause. .Tlataya then followed in the same track, and in consequence of all theee movements, the uiioletistrict of Ajxchitlan is won in favor of the cause of liberiy, and is completely freed from the in- | Auence of the tyrant. The people triumph every- | | where, - | Netherowp deserters from the troops of Chilpant- zingo (government forces) have reported themselves tohis Excellency the General in-Chief, during the | precent week, (July 3d.) The Boletin is of opinion that if Alvarez would send a troop there,the comp'ete ronte of Santa’Anna's pretorianos would nnquestion- ably follow. The desire of the revolutionary chief, however, scems to be, to spare life and shed aslittle blood as possible in liberating his country from a despotic yoke. The United States ship Portsmouth, T. A. Dornin, Esq., commanding, arrived at Acapulco on the 2d | of June from Mazatlan, and found the blockading | equadron bad left. On the 6th, the steamer Golden | | Gate, from Panama, arrived without any interrup, | tion from any vessel outside. Captain Dornin pre- | | pared for sea, and intended to sail on the 10th ; but the re-appearance of the Mexican man of war Santa | | “Anna off the port, and the renewal of the blockade | on the 6th, by which the steamer John L.

On the next day, the 9th, Capt. | Dornin got under way again, and went outside, with a view of convoying and protecting into port, ifthey } required it, the other passenger steamers that would \ pass on that day; they were not, however, overhaul- ed, He then deputised two of his officers, who had an interview with the captain of the blockading vessel, forthe purpose of having exempted from the blockade our mail and passenger steamers, but without success. Under these circumstances he in- formed the Mexican commander officially of his in- tentions to protect and convoy into port the Amer ican steamers, which caused him, after ig his protest, to depart for Mazatlan, leaving it to the two governments to settle the question. — Annexed is the letter of Capt.

Aslam now about to embark for Colima, my adopted home, it leads me to say, that hereafter you can depend upon me as one of your correspondents on this side of this continent. Colima is situated in the Territory of the same name, some thirty Mexioun leagues from the coast. The sesport for the same, being called Manzanillo, is in the lat. 19 2 north, long. 104 37 west, a port of entry for the republic of Mexico, and has a good harbor, easy of access, perfectly secure in all weath- er, and is aurroucded by one of the most fertile parta of the republic. The object of my visit to this place, was for the porpose of inducing the different eteamship com. panies’ agents to have their steamers touch in at the port of Manzanillo, for their supplies and fresh pro- visions, om their trips between this, Panama, and San Juan def Sur, where an abundance can be procured at oue-half the prices given at Acapulco, This matter will s00n be d with the Mexi- depot for coal, and will—when carried into effect— develope one of the most fertile parts of the republic. Colima is in such a central position, that it is cestived tosupply the western coast of Mexico with gcods of all kinds, suited to the wants of the people, and contains eome 16,000 square miles, taken from the States of Jeiisco and Morelis—the inhabitasts are farmers, and the products consist of corn, wieat, tobacco, indigo, coffee, cotton, rice, brazil wood, rosewood, iogany, together with all the froits of a tropical and hears rag climate—cattle, fowl, and vegetables in abundance. There are in operation two cotton factories, each paying some thirty per cent onthe capital invested, the staple of the article being of the best kind. | pda aes at Coa four German, aud oe en jouse, who are the importers, possesged with lar; capitals, each doing a fair business. wy Of late the mining vewe is not so much for-the California public as it is for the Atlantic States, fee we de - f the “" pesamnenn of a ree, Ul ing of the unsoru; most Pr the tales about the mices, many are induced to leave comfortable homes and iueas to certain seek our shores in anticipation of realizing a splen- 'd apd sudden fortune. almost every instance disappointment has been the reeult.

About halt-past eight o'clock in the morning, Mr Mans- field and Tabor were both passing down Centre street, within some twenty or thirty yards of each otter, the former in advance. Upon reaching the Levee, Mr. Mansfield turnei back, and as he reach- ed tbe sidewalk in front of the U. 8. M. Stage office, met Mr. Tabor face to face.

Our informant did not consider himself at liberty to disclose any particulars relating to the matter, but entertains no question of the substantial c rrectness of the main fact communicated. The inception of this projett is due to the opening of d relution of ja, France, and England, in the Pa- cific.

The probable actions | of the hostile fleets in the waters of the Pacific, and more particularly the movements in our immediate vicinity, from their contiguity and possible effect upon our relations with the contending parties, are awaited with much intereet by the people of our State, and already speculation is busily tracing oat the operations of the belligerents in the Pacific. From tbe yarious Opirions of the press as to the | position and futare action of the fleets new in our Waters, we take the following fromthe Echo du Pa- cifique:— \ In speeking of the movements given by various journals to the differévt ships of-war in tie Pacific Ocean, we bave already saic that sll the news and rumors spread bad but the vaine of mere supposi- tion, and we believe that nothing whatever is known of the movements of our (the French) squadrons; bvt the chances of collision in the waters near our shores excite ao lively an interest that every one seeks to go in thought before the act. and to imagine | a combination likely or possible. With this exam- | ple in view, azd under the title of pure conjecture, we may very well imitate the example of our con- | freres, and iorm the combination which follows, and | has at least the merit of being based upon known ond positive fucts- It is known that the Russian frigate Aurcra left the port of Calino for the Sand- wich Islands, whee she wouli probably arrive in thirty-five o forty days, that is to say, about the 10th or léth of Jone. it is kuown also that the | foliowing allied ships, the Forte, President, Euri- | dice, Qbligado and Virsgo were to ‘cave the same | port of Callso upon the 10th or L5th of May, their | destination being unknown. Is it not possible that these five chips separated | its course to the Sand- wich Isiands, where it mi2ut meet the Aurora, aud, of Honolu!n, whilst at tie esme time it awaited the arrival of the Russian fleet from Japan, which it was expected would tonch at the islacds. This first | allied division could be reinforced with ehips from Tabiti, where we bave eeveralstatio ed. The other division (following oyt our are might eail for the coast of Kussian America, where the Trin- comalee would join it. It would blockade Sitka, and, in ease the Aurora had escaped the first aivi- sioo, having left the islands before its arrival, it would have the chance of seizing the Russian frigate the moment it attempted to enter Sitka. Atan agreed upon time, all the allied slips might unite before {hia port, and operate then sccording to their instructions. If the Aurora and kussian ron rom Japan are intended to carry supplies to the saian colony, and to augment ‘its means of de- fence, it is evident that our ships will rae effort to prevent these supplies from reaching destination.

The Revolution in Chili—Chances of Success of General Castilla—The Amazon Gold Swindle— The Arrivals from Australia—Mr. Clay, the American Minister, §e., $e. After a residence in this city of two months, and @ careful observance of passing events, I feel confi, dent that a publication of my impressions will not prove wholly uninteresting to the public. I have selected the Heap as the medium of communica- tion, knowing from past observation and experience, that no other journal in the States has a more ex- | tended circulation, or better repays the trouble of @ perusal. ‘The most prominent, and in fact the most import- ant, topic new under consideration by the Lime- neans, is the revolution. The leader of the revolu- tionists, General Castilla, still ho'ds possession of the southern part of the republic, having his head- quarters in ©uzco: although the last news from the “seat of war” represents the progress of matters in that direction as highly favorable to the govern- ment. This news, however, should be taken with some grains of allowance, as it was brought hy a government ateamer, the officers of which are not expected to make up any reports favorable to the success of Castilla. This last arrival brings us as | news, that there has been a reaction amongst the people hitherto friendly to Castilla, in favor of the government, and that Colonel Rodriguez entered Islay onthe 16th instant, without oppo- sition from the revolutionists; also, that Arica has been captured by the government forces, gt the taking of which the Governor of Tacna was killed. Agaiust all this we have the authority of ye fe on cial, a revolutionary Ace ene namber of which has been published in this city, which asserts that General Castilla has aforce of over fifteen thousand men, nine thousand of whom are well supplied with arms and ammunition, that the people are flocking daily to bis standard, and that the reports brought by government steamers are not reliable. Amid all these contradictory reports, I hardly know which to select as correct. That there is a very large portion of the Peravians in favor of Cas- | tilla [do not doubt. This fact, even in thia city, is nings since a squad of government soldiers sized a | poor choloe in the streeta, with a view of im- | pressing him into the service.
