\ Pni1r.--Thc notoriou, Thompson has been

Trcmcnt which WIS assisted by steamboat.
When Captain llurl advanced the MEXICAN ships
ceased and rctreatrd aud then the steamboat
took much oi the 'argo and most of the passengers
ON board, aud brought them into Bra>>ora. Du-
r'ng the night the McNcan vessel, used their sweeps

The New Orleans True American of the Eth
ut says, -" II appears that the fellow Thompson
will probably escape from the Just punishment he
should receive. Tho McNcan Consul, VIC are in
formed has intcrtcrsd in his behalf, and will leave
NOTHING undonc 10 obtain his delivery TO the Mcx-
can Government. Thompson, il seems. was act
in" under a commission in the revenue service of
McN'co, and is consequently responsible only to his
own government for his Illegal acts but MEXICO,
IN turn, being responsible To the United States for
any dcprcdatlons committed upon our commerce
by the MEXICAN officers, it is To be hoped that Il
strict account will be required OF the frequent IN
trngcmcnts of national law Thompson has been
guilty of upon American vessels"
