Capture Of MeTiesn Brig Of War by IL, |
Ngfeits-The schr. Climax which arrived D.,
evening, puts US in possession Of the following IN
portanl intelligence
The L. 5. S0op Of War hatcher, on the l1h
Ap,i!, of the Brases Isgo, made a formal dem.ns
upon the Mexican authorities to deliver Up, ana
release the American vessels, julius Cesar, Chan
MON. Leonidas, and three others. whose NAM.
are NOT recolec,ed, which had been Illegally O.,
,ursd BY the Mexican fleet, cruising of the co,,,
of thu Republic Of Texas To this demand ),
answer was returned. The Climax was in com
pany with the Nnichez, and had been brouph, q
by the Mexican fleet. A firing was oomn,aosa
from the fort aud the Mexican brig Bravo, upon
the Natehez and the Climax, and IA Is pound ban
struck the Climax, came through the port forward
the fore rigging went through the deck into hs
l.rbOard bow, started a plank. and caused q.
sehoons, TO make thrss and half feet Of wstsr IN
an hour.
The Natchet being informed Of the situation u
the Climax, sent the carpenter and several OF Ia,
crew to the assistance OF that vessel. Having rs.
paired the Climax. she took her IN convoy as far
| as or Malagorsa. 10 the meanwhile the Mesl.
can brig Of war formerly the Privilegiol hove m
sight, aud was taken possession cfby the hatcher:
przs crew were put ON hoard, aud she vas Ct.
! dered to Pensacola.
4 These are the imperfect particulars we have "a.
ceiyed. The taking Of the vessels may be relied
on but we regret The circumstances that led 10
this act are no, more minuiely detailed. Deuh
lees the aggraya,Ion was very sFssa, that ,As
honor OF the American Tag compelled the eou.

The fact is, tina, on the previous occasion 4
Mexican folly and audaci,y, when the Iouli,n,
was Enthusiastically and Illegally captured, similar
course would have been completely justified %
