The capture, after bombardment Of
only three hours, ofihe castle OF San Juan
de Ulloa, excites some surprise, and is a
proof of the skill of the French gunners
and the perfection they have acquired in
the art of bombardment. This fortress
was reported to be one Of the strongest in
America, and in the struggle TOR lndepen.
dence the Mexicans only got possession OF
it by starving out the Spanish garrison. -
The accounts represent the Mexlcans to
have fought with determined spirit, and
only TO have capitulated when the bate
ries were blown down and the walls of the
fort laid in ruins. The short time IN which
these were effected are fearful proofs OF
the superiority OF the French military en-
