DESTRUCTION OF GREYTOWN nY THE 
" 1 1 'AMERICANS’. 
(From the New York Tribune.) 
Greytown cohLhlffc'd rtf about &0 houses, hourly all of them 
built of wood. One of those, Lyon’s Hotel, cost 15,000 dollars. 
The population of Gruytown consisted of about 500 persons 
altogether, of which number 10 or 12 were from the United 
States; about 25 were Englishmen, and 12 Frenchmen and 
Germans. Tho remainder of the population were Jamaica 
negroes and natives. The Americans, English, French, and 
Dutch wero engaged id hotel-keeping und trade. The houses 
Otchpied by the natives and negroes were principally frame 
buildings, witlt rliofs of thatched palm leaf. Wheu the Cynno 
ajip'ehrud befoi'e GreytotL* a'nd demanded siiisfdction to the 
anioimtdf 24,000 dollars, threatening bon) barrlinent if not ednp- 
plied with ata given hour, it was not believed by the lnhubitunts 
that the town was to be demolished, pillaged, and burnt. They 
expected that a few shots would be fired into the town, that a 
few houses would be perforated, and then hostilities would 
cease. Most of tho English, however, wont for protection on 
board tho British war schooner Bermuda, Captuin Jolly, lying 
in the harbour. Mr. Fabens, United States’ agent, together 
with six or seven of the Americans, sought protection under 
the flag of the United States on board the Cyano, and tho re- 
mainder of the inhabitants of Greytown, including all of the 
French and natives, together with a few English and Americans, 
left tho place during the night and morning preceding its de- 
struction. They all encamped together on the shove in the 
woods about a mile distant. Not anticipating tho entire de- 
molitition of the town by bombshells and torches, they took but 
littlo of their effects with them. All the proporty left was 
destroyed. Consequently the houseless inhabitants were In 
great suffering from tho want of food, and of clothing and 
protection from the weather when our informants left. They 
had stretched up shoets for tents, and many were obliged to 
sleep in tho open air without the least shelter, and were half 
famished for the want of food. A brig laden with provisions, 
which had just arrived as the bombardment commenced, 
has probably supplied them. The terms of Captain 
Hollins not being complied with, he opened his fire promptly 
at the appointed time, nearly every shot doing execution. He 
fired about 200 6hots, but, not burning up the town as he 
desired, he sent ashore a launch with n lieutenant and about 
25 men, who proceeded to set on fire all that remained of Grey- 
town. Beforo finishing this work they were pretty thoroughly 
intoxicated with wines and liquors, and were constantly 
cheering. The amount of property destroyed by this bom- 
bardment is stated to be 500,000 dollars. San Juan, or Grey- 
town, on the 13th, was entirely destroyed ; one or two small 
buildings in the suburbs remain to mark the spot. No lives 
were lost. While tho Cyano was cannonading a note was 
received by Captain Hollins from the captain of the British 
schooner Bermuda, stating that he regretted that he had not 
a British vessel of war there of the size of tho Cyane — ho 
would compel him to desist. Captain Hollins in reply to the 
note, regretted that Captain Jolly had not two just such, as 
he believed that the United States could get possession of 
them on the same terms as they got the Cyaue. 
(From the New York Courier.) 
It is with pain and mortification that wo are compelled to 
comment upon this act of savage cruelty, committed under 
the deliberate instructions of the United States’ Government, 
upon a helpless, isolated village. Nothing bnt extreme neces- 
sity could justify such a violent measure against any com- 
munity, even in time of war; but, on a cureful review of all 
the circumstauces attendiug and preceeding this transaction, 
we cannot find, as given by the witnesses most favourable to 
our side, a shadow of excuse for hostilities of any kind, 
at least at the present time. We forbear to anticipate, since 
we cannot deprecate, the horror and indignant scorn with 
which the news of this sweeping and barbarian vengeance 
will be received by the civilised world. The Nicaragua 
Transit Company employs a dozen small steamers on the Sun 
Juan river, to transport passengers from and to their New 
York steamers. The refusal of the company to recognise the 
Government of Greytown bus kept it in continual dif- 
ficulties with the authorities and people from tho first, 
und a mutually bitter feeling exists, which finds vent 
in numerous annoyances and reprisals. According to 
tho statement of a passenger who witnossed the affair, 
Captain Smith, of the Routli, one of these small steamers, 
in attempting to make a lunding some 10 or 12 miles above 
Greytowu, came in contact with a bungo, and a difficulty 
ensued with tho native proprietor of tho craft, who levelled 
his gun at Captain Smith, but did not fire. The steamer 
passed od, but was soon after carried back by the current 
towards the bungo. Captain Smith in tho meantime had got 
his rifle ready, und when near enough, shot the native captain 
of the bungo dead. Another passenger says, that the steamer 
returned towards the bungo after the accident, on the 
suggestion of an influential person on board, in order to flog 
tho native for his impudence; but that, instead of doing this, 
Captain Smith called for his rifle, and with deliberate aim 
shot hitn through the heart. On arriving atGreytown, Captain 
Smith went nn board the ocean steamer, where the authorities 
attempted to arrest him, but were prevented from so doing by 
his resistance, assisted by tho crew, and by tho interference of 
Mr. Borland, our Minister to Contral America, then on his 
way home, who ordered tiiern off and enforced his order with 
the aid of a rifle, on the ground that the United States recog- 
nised no authority at Greytown as competent to arrest and try 
an American citizen. In the evening Mr. Borland went on 
shore, to the house of our commercial agent, Mr. Fubins 
which was soon surrounded by a crowd, who threatened to 
arrest him. The mob soon after dispersed, after some one had 
thrown a fragment of a bottle which struck Mr. Borland in 
the face, and Mr. Borland w«9 not further molested, but all 
boats from the ships wore kept off tho shore by tho excited 
inhabitants till tho next morning. This is tho length and breadth 
of the “outrage upon Mr. Borland,” which amounted only 
to threats and Insults from a nocturnal inob, in which the 
Government of the place had no share, but for which the 
defenceless inhabitants were held responsible, to the utter 
destruction of their villa ;e, their homes, and all their property, 
by tho authority rtf the United Slates’ Government. What 
the demand ol 30,000' dollars indemnity to the Transit Com- 
pany may mean we are' unable to Conjecture, unless it relutcs 
to tho old contest in whldh the company were worsted some 
years ago, with loss ol'snnilry buildings which they lmd erected 
on land claimed by the city.

a rumbling noise very liko that produced by a waggon loaded 
with iron bars in a narrow road, ftigli toned ull tho inhabitants 
of Batdges from their propriety, and worked several miracles. 
It wus an earthquake. Three shocks, ut intervals of ubout 
fivo minutes, shook tho whole chain of the Pyrenees, which 
seemed for an instant ready to topple down. It was u fearful 
spectacle. At the Military Hospital, the loaves of broad laid 
out on tho shelves rolled off, and tho muskets fell out of their
