II is but a week or so since the bank
presses were crying out against the spe--
Gle circular. because it held the specie in
the country, and prevented exportation TO
England. Now the banks have suPend-
ed for ayowediy the same purpose. and
their advocates defend the validity OF the
reason. To prevent freign drain is
now their caschswords, and yet they de-
nounee me specie circular as loudly as
eve--- the habit has so grown upon them.
The attempt Of the bankers and specnia"
tors to shift the effect Of their own head
long folly, and worse, upon the specie
circular, has been exploded with their
other fallacies. We should like to see
practical illustration, by the banks. OF the
doctrine so recently promulgated by them
that .the Banks Of the U. 8. are always
the strongest when they hold The least
specie." What a fine opportunity they
have Of strengthening themselves just

HIGHLY IMPORTANT.--CAPTURE
OF A MEXICAN BRIG OF WAR
BY THE UNITED STATES SHIP
NATCHEZ.
The schooner Climax, which arrived
last evening puts US in possession Of the
following important intelligence:
The United States sloop of war Match
ez, on the II April off the Brassos st.
Iago made formal demand upon the
Mexican authorities to deliyerup, and re-
lease the American vessels, julius Cea.
sar, Champion, Leonidas, and three 9TH
ers whose names are not recollected,
which had been illegally captured by
the Mexican fleet, cruising off the coast
ofthe Republic ofTexas. To this demand
no answer was returned. The Climax
was in company with the Natchez, and
had been brought to by the Mexican fleet.
A firing was commenced from the fort
and the Mexican brig Bravo, upon the
Natchez and Climax, and an Is pound
ball struck the Climax, came through the
port toward Of the fore-rigger, went
through the deck into the larboard bow,
started plank and caused the schooner
to make three and a half feet Of water in
an hour.
The Natchez being informed ofthe situa-
ton of the Climax, sent the carpenter and
several Of the crew to the assistance of
that vessel. Having repairedthe Climax,
she took her in convoy as far as off Mat
agorda. In the mean while the Mexican
brig of war formerly the Privilegio) hove
in sight, and was taken possession of by
the Natchez; prize crew was put on
board, and she was ordered to Pensacola.
These are the imperfectparticulars we
have received. The taking of the vessel
may be relied on; but we regret the Cir
cumstances that lead to this act are not
more minutely detailed. Doubtless the
aggravation was very great; and that the
honor of the American flag compelled the
commander of the Natchez to take the step
he did.
The fact is that on the previous occa-
sion of Mexican folly and audacity, when
the Louisiana was SO unjusti6ably and il
legally captured, a similar course would
have been completely justified on the part
Of Capt. Mervine. a
N. B.-The Steamer Grampus reports
that the Mexican brig is off the S. w.
Pass in the custody of the U. s. sloop Of
war Natchez, bound for Pensacola.
