Mirarnon commenced the siege of Vera Cruz on
the sth of March with 6,000 men and a strong siege
train. An attack was made on the city on the 7th,

which left Havannah to aid Miramon, were cap-
tured, after a short resistance, by the American
sloop of war Saratoga, off Vera Cruz, after refusing
to show colours and firing on the American flag.
The steamers were taken to New Orleans. During
the engagement the two steamers hoisted the
Spanish flag.
The American loss amounted to 3 wounded; that
of the Mexicans was 15 killed and 25 wounded.
Great excitement prevailed at Vera Cruz. The
American Minister had been instructed to land a
force for the protection of American citizens.

The North Briton arrived off Portland yesterday.
The Australian was detained here by storm. The
American squadron has captured at Vera Cruz two
war steamers, bought by Miramon at ITavannah,
and has sent them to New Orleans. These vessels
not hoisting any flag two American steamers went

steamers was fired into. The Saratoga then fired
broadsides, and Aliramon's steamers were boarded
with the bayonet. The Washington Aministration

the Gulf squadron to proceed to Vera Cruz, which
