from The squadron and an account OF the taking Of aguna
by Com Perry.
1t seems that Com P. arrived off that place on the oOtb
uli with the steamers Mississippi Pee Vixen and Boni

Of powder taken aud fifty soldiers dsarmed aboueb tb

played on that coast R summer and the require

lie had eight mon in his boat with mued oars and in the
darkness OF the night rowed round and round the castle
went under the drawbdge entered the water battery md
made thorough reconnaissance OF every part This cal
liant exploit has proved that may be landed from boats
At night, aud that the water batteries may easily be tn
ken.
Com. Perry, his Anton Lizardo from Lacu
ma looked IN at Aivarado and Tabasco and found that
the Qualifications Of both places have been repaired and
much strengthened since they attacked by the squa
don. At Tabasco there wore about 5000 ttoons ond ~
Alvarado about 1000 Notwithstanding ,bese fo,nJahI
preparations, the general impression is that Com Come,
will soon attack these places.
