arrivals from that port Among the passengers on
the Vietarine Capt. f. SWAIN, Capt BARSEY and
Mr.. STANLEY MILFORD, who sailed from this port the
steamer Champion tor Tobasco early in the month Of De-
iober last The arrival Of the Champion Vera Cruz

the Patriot the French BTiiaRie came in; soon
afterwards the L. s brig Dolphin made her appearance
and finally the cutter Woodbury. entered the harbor.
The Dolphin was from Campcachy, which place she left
on the 10th OF January We learn that Capt Knight OF
the Dolphin attempted send boat ashore with officer

the boat stopped by order the commander of the Mex
lean squadron correspondence between these officers
ensued and Capt Knight finding impossible to have pea
eeabe intercourse with the Consul, sailed immediately for
Vera Cruz and his arrival that port despatched an Off

the best authority from the Mexican 90

Knight did land boat and depend upon his guns and
honest Yankee Tars for its protection We shall shortly
be placed IN possession OF strange developments wiregad
