The SANTA FE ExpEDITIoN-The st. Louis Re-
veile says that Captain O'Brian, who arrived at ST.
Louis on the 18th instant, recommends that the
first object Of the invading expedition should be to
capture Mexican military post on the Rio Grande,
about $50 miles below Santa Fe which Keeps open

hua and which, in our possession, would form
link of connection between our armies in the south
and the north The northern provinces, thus sepa-
rated from southern Mexico, would yield at
To illustrate the character of the people, the Revee
states that "last September the whole country
in panic at the outrages Of the lndians--the in
habtants from various ranches budding and pennng
themselves together like sheep in the supposed
stronger places One thousand Rancheros muster
ed courage to go out from Chihuahua against the
Apacbes. They were out thirty-two days-came
in sight Of the savages Instantly fed, and returned
in shame without further demonstration" Captain
O'Brian, being at the time resident Of the city,
then marched out with thirty-two Americans, and
attacked and defeated party Of ia savages Capt.
Kicker succeeded him in the command; and, with
his little band, was subsequently employed by
the government TO protect the province Both he
and o Brien are Irishmen, and hence the whole par
ty are called the Heiand,s Diabios or Irish Devils.
The Reveie adds that, "the province Of Sonora ia
already in state OF revolution. Durango may be
expected to Join it, Zacatecas also. Sonora, part
Of Durango, Snaloa and California, wish TO become
an independent republic. With regard to Califor-
MIA, it is but restrained by American Influences the
settlers there not yet feeling themselves strong
enough to take the direction Of the movement"

ANOTHER ATTACK ON ALVARADO
BY the American Squadron.
Contemplated Attack on Tobasco.

An extra of the New Orleans Pieayune, of the
7th inst, contains letters from the squadron, da-
ted off Anton Lizardo, Oct. 18th, 18th and 18th.
On the 18th all was hustle and preparation for
an attack on Alvarado. For month previous
the sailors had been drilling for the attack, and
were eager for the fray. The Mexicans had a
battery OF ten guns at the mouth of the river
On the 18th sailing orders were countermanded,
the wind blowing too fresh for operations On the
10Th they sailed, but anchored again the same day
within ten miles of the mouth of the river There
was heavy swell on the bar.
On the morning of the 10th, steamer Vixen, and
cutter McLane, towed by steamer Mississippi
anchored at long-shot distance, and commenced
their fire. The Commodore leading, in the Vixen,
with the rest of the force following, passed by
the fort-each vessel firing her broadside as she
ranged ahead, with little or no effect, owing to
the great distance. A long eighteen Of the cutter
Forward sent shot directly into the fort The
time the Mississippi had closed up, and was
exploding her Paxhans effectively about the
heads of the Mexcans, doing considerable da-
mage to the fort.
During the morning several of our boats sound
ed within half mile of the fort, and were
fired upon, but received no damage.
Att p. M. the line was formed, the steamer
Vixen towing the gun boats Refer and b.
nita; the McLane, schooner Forward and gun
boat Petrol, two launches, three cutters, and
barge containing fo-ce destined for boarding
the vessels Of war, brought up the rear. The
Vixen and her tow passed the bar, and took po-
sition within point blank range but the Nc
Lane stuck so fast that the Commodore was una
BILE to bring up all his force, or stand the enemy's
twelve gun battery, and was obliged to retreat.
but none were hurt.
The McLane is pronounced an abominable
abortion. When she got aaoat again, Captain
Howard offered to make another attempt to pass
the bar, but the Commodore declined it.
On the night of the 10th, the cutter Forward,
gunboats Bonita, Refer, and Nonata, under
Commodore Perry, left Anton Lizardo, for an at
tack on Tobasco.
Two prizes had been taken, one the Am erhan
bark Cooza, and the other Yucatan schooner
