San Juan Bautista de Tabasco,
Oct. 26. 1846.

Sir,—The undersigned, foreign merchants establishei
in the port of San Juan Bautista de Tabasco, in conse-
quenee of the very seem us injury suffered in pert of their
pry perty by the firn g n this city yE:terday afternoon,
tak,• the liberty, as ',morals in the present differences
between the United States and Mexico, and in friendly
relations with the former power, to represent that a con-
tinuance of similar destruction of their property will lead
to their ultimate ruin.

We are induced to address this communication to you,
it being affirmed that unless the military force here sur-
rendered this city up to you, you felt it your duty to
cont;nue hostilities, even to reducing the city to ruins— a
hard case, indeed, for the parties who have now thy
honour of addressing you, almost the whole commerce
of the place being in their hands ; and who, confiding in
the protection affirded to suhj cts of f,,reign nations at
Metamoros, and in the march of the United States army
up to Monterey, and in the declaration of the Commo-
dore commanding the United States squadron off Vera
Cruz, hale not prepared for such measures as you have
threatened to adopt to educe this place.
We thus beg most respectfully to call your attention
to our position, and the positive ruin we shall suffer
should this city be destroyed, trusting you may have it
in your power to take the same into your favourable
consideration, and mitigate such very disastrous results
to our several interests.
We have the honour to be, Sir,
Your very obedient humble servants,
LABACII and CO.
WATSON, CIIABOT, and CO.
British merchants.

of the city of Tabasco, Oct. 26, 1846.
Gentlemen,—ln consideration of the representations
made by you in your communication to me of this morn-
ing, and verbally through Captain Forrest, I shall ad-
here to a determination resolved upon last evening, not
to fire again upon the town unless the fire should be re-
commenced from the shore.
I regret the injury already produced, but have the
consolation of knowing that it was altogether caused by
the extraordinary conduct of the people of the town. I
am, gentlemen, respectfully, your obedient servant,
M. C. PERRY.

Liz ardo, near Vera Cruz, Nov. 3,1846.

Sir,—lt seems r,...t0 be just and proper, and it is cer-
tainly a gratifying task, to make known to you for the
information of the department. the excellent conduct of
the officers and men who served under my command in
the late expedition to Tabasco. The enterprise and
spirit displayed by them, on every occasion, gave suffi
cient evidence that in scenes more sanguinary they would
do full honour to the corps.
I was particularly indebted to Captain Forrest for his
promptitude, cheerfulness, and judgment in carrying out
my instructions.
To Commander Sands, and officers and men of the
Vixen, to Commander Adams, ni Lieutenants Com-
manding Benham, :•;terrett, and Hazard, anti their re-
spective officers and men ; to Captain Eds,,n, and Lieu-
tenants Gift, Winslow, Wal-h, Hunt, and Parker, and
their detaei,ments—in a word, to all and every one—l
am under lasting obligations for the zeal and energy with
which they snonded my plans.

I am, Sir, respectfully, your obedient servant,
M. C. PERRY.

United States naval foreps, Gull of Mexico.

Nothing more has been done by the division of the
army under General Taylor. It is said that Santa Anna
is concentrating his forces at San Luis Potosi, and that
he intends to remain there until the United States force
shall have been weakened by detachments being ordered
to Tampico. It is stated that General Scott has been
ordered to take command of the army in Mexico, and
that he has left Washinvon for that purpose.
The New York Courier and Inquirer says—" It may
be stated with some confidence that all present prospect
of peace between the United States and Mexico is at
an end.

" All parties in Mexico are embarked zealously and
with national feeling in the war, and the idea of con-
senting to the Rio Grande as the boundary between
the two countries, or of ceding Upper California, does
not appear a possible one to any faction or party in
Mexico; yet with lesa than that, it is not perceived
how the Government of the United States can be satis-
fied.

"In this state of affairs very vigorous efforts will un•
doubtedly be made by this Government during the
winter months, to bring Mexico to terms by the sword."

ERCIAL. -
The most important part of the news by the Great
Western is that usually classed under the above head:—
A New York paper of the 26th ult., says:—
" Since the arrival of the last steamer with dates of the
4th inst. our markets for bread stuffs have drooped and
are drooping, in the face of falling prices in Europe,
and increasing stock here.
" Up to this time the canals hive brought down to tide
water in this state, mote than 800,000h16. flour more

than in the previous year, turtling the excess of Wheat
into Flour, at five bushels to the barrel. Of Indian
Corn, almost the whole quantity sent to market by this
route, is a new article of export, and principally of the
last crop, the growth of this crop being yet too green to
be safety shipped. The quantity thus far is about
million bush is. There were only 30,938 bushels of
this grain brought down last year.
As yet the frost holds off and supplies pour down.
Vessels are in great d, mand and make very advabtage-
ous freights.
In relation to our remarks on Cotton by the steamer
of the Ist inst., in which comments were made upon
what we considered the exaggerated estimates of crops
made in a Savannah circular, we have received a letter
from the house issuing that circular, which we subjoin,
because we desire no:: even to appear to do injustice.
We must remark. however, that we named no
particular house, and that abhough our figures
were taken from one c:rcular, there were others,
as we understood from Savannah, leading to
the same erroneous conclusion, as we de med it.
As to the immunity claimed for a circular on the ground
of its being a private letter, it seems to U 3 simply ridi-
culous. If, however, the writer of that to which re-
ference is now made, consider their circulars private,
they should at least instruct their corrtspondents to use
them as such. If we recollect rightly, the figures in cur
