I" In twenty four hours. the Boxer
went to pieces. although there was lit
tie wind and no sea many of her
tinbers were up, and found to be ca
tircly decayed. From the state she
was in. had the weather been tempes-
tuOus at the time she struck. il is
highly probable that all on board
would have been lost. From the mo-
ment this misfortune occurred, the
crew were remarkably active and
Jealous in the performance of their
d0ty--and gave evidence of the dis
cipline and subordination TO which
they had been accustomed. A violent
gale Of wind commenced blowing al
ter the Boxers people effected their
escape FROM the wreck. The Launch.
with the surgeon. purser, Midship-
man Mclean and twenty five men.
who had left the shore for the brig,
was driven out to sea by this gale. as
were Midshipman Beatty and FIVE
men. who departed from the Lucadia
in the Gig on the night of the s9th-
Great anxiety was felt for the fate of
these people ; little doubt, indeed,
was entertained that they had pc.
ris led.
IS Fortunately, however, both the
launch and the gig made mud bank
at the mouth of the S. w. Pass, where
in state Of starvation, they were
picked up by the sloop Amelia, Capt.
Whittlesey. from New-York, and
were landed at Plaquemaine.
The officers speak in the highest
terms Ofthe humanity. kindness & at
tcntion With which they were treated
by Captain Whittlesey."

SNON- Os
4 gentleman who left Vera Cruz 4.
bout the middle of October, and whose
opportunities Of procuring authentic
intelligence relative to the state Of
the country, were peculiarly favOra-
bic, informs us that the news lately
published by the Spanish authorities
respecting tire internal concerns of
Mexico, is greatly exaggerated, il
not utterly unfounded. 1t was be-
licved in the best informed circles al
Vera Cruz. that Nina, so far frcm
having beer destroyed, was making a
rapid and irresistible progress. into
The most wealthy and pOpulous part
If the vice royalty. &c had defeat
cd and cut TO pieces in three separate
affairs. three different regiments Of
the royal army who bad attacked
him. Persons at Vera Cruz who
dared to converse ON the subjects and
whose information was dCrir,d f"om
authentic sources, declared thai his
motions and dispositions were admi-
rably IudicioUs. ard that his troops c
viRCcd an inv inCib,e courage as well
IS the CXac.cst disci"'iac.
The valur vi MS Frcnch officers,
particularly, was spoken of in the
highest praise, tie had passed thrO'
r.a it,es or Leon aud Saa Lni5 De
Potus;, and vas within an hundred
miles Of the capital. From the rapi-
dity Of his progress. and his taking
uninterrupted possession OF two such
important posts as Leon and San Lu-
is dc Potosi, one Of two differences is
inevitable: either his army IS SC for
midable rs to look down all Cprosi-
ton, or the people Of the country are
extremely We'd disposed to favor his
views.
Aconvoy Of $4,000 dollars from
Mexico, had been due at Vera Cruz.
when our informant sailed from the
latter place apprehcnsiuns were en-
tCrtained that it had fallen into the
hands of the insurgents. Part or the
roule between the two cities was GER
tainly in their possession. and bands
of them frequently appeared within
view Of the walls of Vera Cruz.
