The Gulf Squadron.

The precise position of the Gulf Squadron, at every
moment, * becoming more and more interesting At
onr last accounts the frgates Cumberland and Poto-
mac, and the soop of war John Adams, were at Pen
sacola The briggs Somers and Lawrence were off the
Rio Grandc
The rest of the vessels comprising the Gulf Squad
ron, have been dispersed the various points where
they can render the best service in blockadIng.
The steamer Mississippi. the frigate Rartan and
the sloop Falmouth, at Vera Cruz, being IN the
aggregate force of eightyfour guns and about nine
hundred men and officers.
The St. MIarys, - guns is off Tampico.
The John Adams, now at Pensacola, Will fill up
with water and provisions and return for service on
the coast.
1t is presumed that the brig Somers Will be station
ed off the mouth of some of the rivers, perhaps the
Alvarado.
The Lawrence will remain off the Rio Grande,
where she has been at anchor for the last fifty days
The Porpolse is supposed TO be still at ST. Domingo.
Such is the present and prospective disposition OF
the Squadron, according to current report 1t IS not
believed the Squadron at present constituted, Will
attempt any offensive operations beyond a blockade
The whole force concentrated is deemed altogether
inadequate successful attack the defences of
Vera Cruz. Not one of the vessels pass the bar
of Tampco No person would deem it advisable to
attempt to carry that place in open boats unsuppor-
ted by battery. fleet of gun boats armed vessels
of light draueht would be absolutely necessary.
The following is said to be correct statement Of
