The New Orleans correspondent of the Charles
| ton News furnishes the following, under dale OF
June 81.
The French brig Princess Marie arrived here
Yesterday from Tampico, 9Th inst
We learn from one of the passengers, that the
authorities at Tampico were divided into two par
ties One of the parties with the military, has
Gen Anastisio Paviodi at its head, was in favor
of Federation and Santa Anna. The other party
was for arming the people in favor of Federation
without Santa Anna. a third party was about
raising up, when our informant left; but none of
the parties had come to any understanding yet
There were at Tampico l vessels of different ma
tions at the time of the blockade, three British,
three French, two Spanish, two American, one
Bremen. The authorities were about prohibiting
the American vessels to take in their cargoes
but at last Capt. Saunders of the soop OF war st.
Mary, hearing of this, sent despatch to the au-
thorities, stating that if there were any detention
to American property, no property at all should
leave the place. This caused the withdrawal of
the order.
The fort at Tampico "a mud affair." had been
washed away by freshet few days previous to
the 9th.
The three gun boats lately built at New York
for the Mexican service were lying in the river
above Tampico.
Official dispatches had arrived at Tampico that
Gen. Arista had been removed from the command
ofthe northern Division ofthe Army and Gen. Me-
jia had superseded him.
There were 300 troops only at Tampco on the
9th. Seventy-nine of these were runaway ne
groes and mulatoes from this place New Orleans)
and Havana. These constitute the whole amount
of the Mexican force from Tampico to the Rio
Grande.

How they dash, aud ilam and roar,
And the wild winds bowling almost smother
The echOings ashore !"
The mother hooked 10 the ocean wild,
And her he trt grew lex for hei aosen child,
And the strong prayer rose from that swelling heart
"My Ged, thy help and aid impart."
"Look, look to the path from the beach, mother,

But the mothers brow grew deeper flushed,
And her very breath and heart was husheG,
And the light in her meek and tIustGul eye
Grew bright as star in frosty sky;
Then over the cottage floor she sprung,
And back the door on lis hinges flung,
And round her wet and weary boy
She flung her arms with fGverish Joy,
The gallant ship in all wreck,
But she hath fallen upon his neck;
His hard earned wealth is lost and gone,
But the God of mercy hath spared her SOB.
