Arrival of the Winfield Scott
Capture of Guyaquil by Gen. Fores
END OF THE CAFFRE WAR.

The magnificent independent steamer Winfield Scott, consigned to Macondray & Co., entered our harbor a little before one o'clock this morning, after a short passage of fourteen days from Panama. She arrived at Acapulco in six days and has been eight days from that port to this. Had she not experienced head winds and very heavy weather, she would have accomplished the passage much quicker. Her officers are Kenney Couillard, Commander; Samuel Parry, Engineer; Edward K. Shed, Purser; Walter G. Smith, Ass't Purser; John W. Busterd, Surgeon; H. I. Tompkins, 1st officer.

We thank Capt. Couillard for stopping his steamer in the lower bay to permit our marine reporter to come on board. And we also tender our acknowledgments to Purser E. K. Shed, for a list of passengers and late papers and correspondence.

The Winfield Scott brings some 700 passengers, and one day's later intelligence from the Atlantic States.

Memoranda

. . . The Star has private advices stating that the Ecuadorian convicts stationed at the Galapagos Islands had seized an American whaleship, and murdered the captain and crew. They then proceeded towards Guayaquil, with the intention of opposing Flores, and gaining the pardon of their Government for doing so. The party fell in with two schooners belonging to Flores, and having seized them, murdered the nephewand son-in-law of Gen. Flores. On one of the vessels they cut the throatsof twenty-three men, from ear to ear.

The whaleship was afterwards taken possession of by the Swedish frigate, and the convicts on board placed in irons. At last accounts, the vessel was at anchor in the Guyaquil river, along-side the Swedish frigate.

The American ship Lyons, Captain Davis, had sailed from Valparaiso with three hundred and fifty men, and large supplies ef ammunition, &c, to join the Flores expedition at Guyaquil.

The American sloop of-war Portsmouth, and fifty-gunship St. Lawrence, had arrived from the United States. The latter had orders to sail for this port on teh 1st of April.

The Seaman's Bride was passed by the Winfield Scott, eight hundred miles this side of Valparaiso, bound for California, with total loss of masts and spare, and jurymasts rigged . . .
