San Juan Bautista de Tabasco.
Oct. 26, 1846.
Sir,—The undersigned, foreign merchants established
in the port of San Juan Bautista
i de Tabasco, in conse-
quence of the very serious njury suffered in part of their
property by the firing on this city yesterday afternoon,
take the liberty, as neutrals 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
continue hostilities, even to reducing the city to ruins—a
hard case, indeed, for the parties who have now the
honour of addressing you, almost the whole commerce
of the place being in their hands ; and who, confiding in
the protection afforded to subjects of foreign nations at
Metsmoros, 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, have not prepared fur such measures as you have
threatened to adopt to:reduce 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,
LABACH and CO.
WATSON, CHABOT, and CO.
British merchants.

United States Steamer Vixen, at anchor in front
of the city of Tabasco, Oct. 26, 1846.
Gentlemen,—ln eonsideration 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
an, gentlemen, respectfully, your obedient servant,
M. C. PERRY.

Sir,—It 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, to Lieutenants Com-
manding Benham, Sterrett, and Hazard, and their re-
spective officers and men • to Captain Edson, and Lieu-
tenants Gist, Winslow, Wal-h, Hunt, and Parker, and
their detachments—in a word, to all and every one—l
am-under lasting obligations for the zeal and energy with
which they seconded my plans.
I am, Sir, respectfully, your obedient servant,
M. C. PERRY.
Commodore David Conner, Commander in-Chief
United States naval forces, Gulf 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 Washington for that purpose.
The .New York Courier and Inquirer says—"lt 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, doei
not appear a possible one to any faction or party in
Mexico; yet with less 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 nil•
doubtedly be made by this Government during the
winter months, to bring Mexico to terms by the sword."
