On Monday last arrived at this pCr gun

having powder and military stores On board
in company. BY the arrival OF these YES

Cd INST. for the purpose of forcing pas
sAge by tho tort for the schooner loaded
with powder and military stores for the
troops at that place This schooner had
bsen stopped and not permitted to pass the
fort; ). in consequence OF which she returned
TO New Orleans and made report. The a.
bove number of vessels was sent to CONVOY
her past the. fort When they arrived off
the bar of Mobile, the Spanish comman-
dam sent an officer to inform Captain Balm
bridge. that he had orders not TO permit
ny powder OF gun vessels to pass that fort,
and if they attempted it, he should certain
Iy fire at them Captain cambridge repi
ed, that he would comply with the orders
he had received from the Commodore and
would pass the fort the first favorable wind.
He then held a Council with his officers, and
it was concluded lobe more prudent to send
nine Of the gun boats under the command
Of Capt. b. F. Reid, up Spanish. river. and
drop down Mobile river; and take the most
advantageous station for the attack, which
was to be communicated by signals, when
Captain cambridge, in gun boat, No. IS,
which remained off the bar, was to run in
under the fort. the rest of the gun boats
were to- commence firing.
The Commandant perceiving these move.

the determination of permitting them to
