A squadron which arrived at the water at
Tuspan, in order to avoid any delay in their
march, swan their horses, placing their pis-
tolls on their heads to keep them dry, and
were so fortunate as to pass without acct

give all the horses required by the govern
ment. Another lady gave up to the govern
ment securities to the amount of $4,000 and
her husband who is retired Colonel.
marched with No. 9TH Infantry as a common
soldier. 1 should never stop if we're to at
tempt to tell all-you will see more in the
publick papers.
Con the 18th Santa Anna left Tuspan
with his division, to whom an officer and six
of his men from the invading army surren-
dered themselves. They stated that thew
had lost vessel of the convoy with about
200 men; and that they have now 500 sick
in their camp"
Three American vessels, the briggs Spleen
did, William and Usula, were among the
vessels taken possession Of, to convey these
troops to Tuspan. They had performed
this service, and returned to Vera Cruz.
The embargo was raised at Vera Cruz
on the 3lst July, but was again established
on the LIST of August, and continued until
the 18th.
A motion in the Mexican Senate, to give
Mr.. Poinsett his passports to return to this
country, was lost. The citizens declared
that be had taken too much interest in the
political affairs of the government
A motion to clothe the Executive with
powers for FIVE months, was
lost in the Senate--ayes 2l-noes 80.
An order was issued on the 9TH bv the
Gete INFERNO Of the Canton of Vera Cruz,
all the Spaniard residents in
towns, villages, and other places, to retire
Is leagues into the interiour. according to
the provisions of the law dated Goth March,

the state of Vera Cruz, on the I'd August

sessment of $4,000, in the shape of loan,

The paper of the 9th mentions, on evil
dence which the editor says is perfectly
that Gen. Pedraza, late Presi-
dent of Mexico, is now in Havana, and that
in one of the nights Of last month, July he
was seen to enter the house of Captain Gen.
eral Wives in disguise. Persons have just
arrived who were eye witnesses of this act.
CRY OF Mexico, AUG. 3. 1t is said that
Gen. Arredondo (Spanish is at Soto la Ma
rina, [say 100 miles north of Tampico] with
10 vessels. Ifso, the enemy purposes to at
tack US at two points. The convoy arrived
on the 2Sth ofJuly at Tampico de las Tar
manlipas. The military commandant order
ed its return to lula, notwithstanding the
opposition Of the Vice Consul, and it seems
that the government has given orders for
its removal to Mexico, to be placed at the
disposition of its owners.
An extract of letter from Havana, of
Aug. 24th, published in the Wilmington
(Del.) Advertiser, mentions the return of
part of the expedition tu that port two days
before, under convoy of the frigate Restau-
ration. The Report from the expedition
was as follaws, as given in the Noticioso
Mercantile of Havana 3
g. In the afternoon of the 18th July, the va
rious transports were brought together near
Point Jerez. On the oath the whole expe-
dition anchored near said point, except the
ship which has arrived at New-Oreans.
The 25th and 26th were employed in recon-
the coast. On the 9th the troops

On the 3lst the frigate ResLauration sailed
for this port. On the day following the
squadron was to have sailed for Tampico,
until our troops should take possession of
that place, and then to sail for Vera Cruz"
1t was understood at Havana that 1000
blacks and muattos were TO be sent from
Cuba as a reinforcement, and that until their
arrival Barradas would not leave the coast
for the interiour.
FRoM Mexico. News from this quarter
is now looked for with more than ordinary
interest. By an arrival at New York in
twenty-seven days from Vera Cruz, infor-
nation is received that the fifth day after
the landing of the Spanish troops, they
into Tampico, fifteen hundred
strong, and took possession of the city.
There were but 400 Mexican troops to OPP
pose them in that quarter, but that it was
reported that Gen. Santa Anna with $4,000
troops, left Vera Cruz two or three days be-
fore the vessel which brings this news sail
ed, and marched for Tampico. The number
of men is probably much exaggerated.
Commodore Porter was under arrest at
unknown.
The Captain of the vessel which brings
news, states that according to the informa-
ton given him, FIVE Spanish soldiers aud a
Corporal had deserted to the Mexicans, who
alleged that including the troops on board
