!, N, Baltimore Sun We find the following lei
:. br,ush, by the Princeton. 1t will be seen
NO, !; gives different view Of the Mexican re-
,,Iy from that Of the letter in the Mobile Tribune.
: ! all speculation, however. The truth we
nall hear from Washington, only:
u 5. FsioArE CUMBERLAND, Sept. 6, 1876,
AT Point Anloniode Lizardo.
The dispatches brought by the Legare were
,n. m 10 Vera Cruz, with flag OF truce, on the
S.'h aueusr, and were Immediately forwarded 10
-. 80 c;,y oi Mexico. On Friday the 4th OF Sep
, -. about 5, P. NJ, Mexican boat bearing
y lac Of truce, visited the Commodore, and The
n.arer OF the dispatches presented the answer OF
his Government, the contents OF which are not
.newn positively, but it is rumored that the Mex
;cans decline receiving or sending Minister
nn,i The United States withdraw all their force
nom the country, both by sea and land
The bearer Of the Mexican dispatches was
Young Naval Lieutenant, accompanied by
an English gentleman as interpreter. The
Princeton Immediately receivei orders Tor
sea and she would have sailed yesterday,
hut was detained by a court martial pending
an board The ST. Mary's-her officers forming part
Of The court. However, it was fortunate, Tor
about P. Nj. yesterday, another despatch ART
yed from Mexico, and the Princeton will no DOUBT
sail today. Lieut.. Puryiance, from this SNIP
GOES in the Princeton as bearer of dispatches 10
Washington, and she will await his return al ZEN
sacola. | have no doubt they are OF the utmost
importance, and will either put stopio the war,
or call for more active measures, on The paiI oil
The naval force al ali events.
The Potomac sailed last Monday Tor Pensaco-
la, her crew being very bad with the scurvy. "A
prize brig from Hamburg, sailed al the same
time for New Orleans.
The Commodore received letter few DAYS
ago from Captain Carpenter, oil the Truxon, who
writes from Tuxpan. He states that the health
Of his officers and crew is excellent; that they are
we'll treated by the Mexicans, and their private
property respected His letter was written subse-
ouenly to the destruction of The brig SO that The
officers of the Princeton were deceived by the sol.
ders at the mouth OF the river, who informed
Them that The prisoners had been sent to Tampico
| perceive the New Orleans papers have not
spared The squadron Tor our abortion, as lhey cai
il al Alvarado, but the Commodore, have no
doubt, has fully justified his conduct 10 the de-
oarlment. But failures in time of war are pro.
duclive of many little soubriquets that are long
remembered, and Commodore Alvarado Conner
is as firmly and indelibly placed upon our list OF
posi- captains, as il he was baptized in all The
churches of chris,endom. However, should the
war be prosecuted with vigor, have no doubt ne
will give US all plenty TO do. But nothing will
be done until the return of the Princeton. have
no doubt the dispatches will be published IN a
lew days after the receipt Of this, so you must
be on the qui vive. No more OF importance:
Yours, ,. Il.
P. S. The court martial on board the Saint
Mary's, convened for the purpose OF trying sea-
man BY The name of Johnson, for striking the
drsl Lieutenant, Mr.. Taylor, has no, made any
public decision yet.
