From this letter it seems that the reported
skirmish, between the Mexicans and the boats
Of The squadron was of qoire serious charac-
ter. On the first day they obtained three thou
sand gallons Of water, and took with them a
bullock which they had killed-lhe Mexicans
refusing TO take pay for il, as it did not belong
10 them.
On the second day, as the boats reached the
shore, they were saluled with heavy shower
of muske. balls, and having no ammunition with
them, were compelled TO rerea, to the Prince
ton After obtaining supply, to enable them
TO return the fire of the Mexicans, they returned
to the shore, and few well directed shots from
the Princeton scattering the enemy, they Sc
cured several thousand more gallons of water
without moleslaiion. This was KEEP. up for
three days, until eighteen thousand gallons Of
water were secured.
On the last day. grea, numbers of the Mexi.
cans were stationed in The chapparel and opened
a brisk fire on the boats, bu. several shells
struck in the mids, of them, causing great hav-
oc-killing, according TO the Mexican accounts,
eighteen men; but one American, named Perry,
belonging TO the Princeton was wounded.
The letter also states that the baroue Euge.
MIA. which forced the blockade, sailed from Ve-
ra Cruz on the 10Th inst, was overhauled by
the John Adams, and after being detained twen-
ly-four hours, was permitted to set sail for New
