The report of the capture Of an American

Captain OF the Mexican launch. on approaching 9

he boarded. During thep conversation Of the

ToBAsco TAKES.-By the Yucatan brig
Emrlio. which arrived yester rday. we have adri.
ces from Campeaehy 10 the 2sth ult. In that
port all was quiet. and no news. Intelligence
had been received that Tobasco, which had
boen besieged by the Federafis,s for some
weeks, surrendered about the be ginning of Oc
tober. There was little fighting in the cam.
paisn. The Mexicans surrendered al dscre
tlon. The garrison consisted Of near 5000
men-most Of whom joined the native party,
with view of remaining in the country. A.
bout 300 Centralists, who remained obstinate.
were placed in confinement. The Yucatan
army captured large quantity of powder. be-
sides other warlike supplies, and a park Of well
mounted artillery. Tobaseo is now delivered
from her Central eppressors and her citizens
will be able to return TO their former civil pur.
suits.
Gen. Anaya, (favorably known to many per
sons in our city, was in command of the pa
trioue and conqnerng forces. General Mol.
denado and Imam, were his associates in the
enterprise.

the time Of the siege. did not probably eneour.

would otherwise have done. The Austin. we

large and dark. and the general expression of
her rounienance highly interesting. Her gen
