S 149 MARCH 8 1848.

Subsequently the place was deserted by the American
troops, and left in charge of U. S. S. Dale, and on the
17th of November 400 Mexican soldiers took posses-
, ioo. Unaware of their presence, Commodore Selfridge
and 65 officers and men landed, and after a severe fight
routed the entire Mexican force. The Commodore was
wounded, and this was the only casualty on the American
side.

On the lath November San Jose, then in possession of
a body of 100 Americans, was attacked by 200 Mexicans,
having with them two 6-pounders. After three unsuc-
cessful attacks, the Mexicans drew off with a loss of
Majorca, their chief, and twenty or thirty men, the
Americans having lost none.
COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From the New York Sun, Feb. 19.)
The market still grows easier, and rates are almost
down to the legal standard. General confidence is
fast being restored, and business working into its old
channels.

The rumour that the Rethchilds had proposed to take
the United States loan is contradicted officially at
Washington.
In foreign exchanges for the Washington, there is not
very much doing, though there is no dulness or languor
in the market. Sales have generally been made at 1104
to 1101. Some British Government bills have been
offered in market at 111 k, but refused at anything over
111. Exchange on London we therefore quote at 1104
to 111, and on Paris the same as yesterday.
The news from Europe has had a very favourable
influence upon the money market. Exchange on
England is drooping, and at the close of to day's ope-
rations only 110 was offered for the best city bills. We
quote sterling at 109 to 110, and francs at sf. 25c. to sf.
274 c.
(From the New York Inquirer of Monday, Feb. 21.)
