MIR Dmond relates one or two circumstances which
are extremely creditable to Gen. Bravo who is in
mand of the forces at Vera Cruz shortly after the
breaking out " hoslities, council Of war held,
which was voted to seize the American vessels then
in port priz But Gen. Bravo would not abide by
this decision He allowed several vessels depart with

When Mr. Dinsond got on board of the Mississippi.

o. the liberal condssct OF Cen Bravo, Capt Gregory
leased tho vessels and sent them into port with letter
to Gen. Bravo stating a for his doing that
he had allowed Anne rcan vessels to depart unmocsed

Gregory the next day under flag Of truce. In this
note which we have seen. Gen. Bravo disclaims any
anmy but modesly places his actions upon the broad
grounds Of national law and sancty Of private property
we may mention that MIR Dinond received every atten-
ton and courtesy from Gen. fBravo and the Collector at
Vera Cruz, prior to his departure.
It happened that Of these vessels released by
Captain Gregory, there was a Colonel Of the Mexican
