LATEST FROM MEXICO.

We make the following extracts of the
important news from Mexico, which we find
in the Baltimore Sun of Tuesday last, for a
copy of which we are indebted to friend
The news was copied in the Sun from the
Picayune and Delta of the 18th inst.
Immediately before the James L. Day
started from Vera Cruz, Major Leonard,
who is stationed there sent an officer on
board to inform Gen. Pillow that an express
has just arrived from Gen. Scott, with dis
patch, in which it was stated that deputa-
ton of Mexican citizens from the Capital
had arrived at the Generals headquarters,
inviting him to advance, assuring him that
it would surrender to him without opposi-
ton, and asking his protection of their per-
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1847-05-20

had been previously DIES patched for Lobos,
where they arrived in good time, and were
subsequently, joined by the Decatur.
On the 18th, all the vessels left Lobos
for the anchorage, under Tuxpan reef, but
were separated during the night by north
Ter. Having again concentrated on the morn
ing of the 9Th, the whole of that day was
employed in tightening the small vessels, in
sounding and bouying the channel of the
bar, and in other preparations for ascending
The following morning (the l0th) the bar
was safely crossed by the steamers and gun
boats, with about thirty barges filled with
detachments from the different vessels at an
Choir outside, having with them four piecs
of artillery,
After crossing the bar hoisted my flag
on board the Spitfre, and Immediately led
up the river to the attack; the steamers hav-
ing the gun-boats and barges in tow, until
we got into the range of fire of the enemy,
when ordered them to cast off; the gun
boats to follow up the river under sail, and
the detachments in the barges to land with
the artillery and storm the forts and town.
These orders were executed with extraordi-
nary rapidity, while the Flotila continued
It's course up the river, and driving, by its
well-directed fire, the enemy from his de-
fences.
The dispositions of the enemy for efenced
were judicious they consisted oftwo forts
on the right and one on the left bank of,he
river, with positions we'll selected for COM
handing the reaches of the stream. They
had seven guns mounted and detachments
of infantry firing from the forts and the thick
chapparal along the margin of the left bank.
| General Cos, chief of the Winward mill.
tary division of the Mexican army, was in
command, and had with him, as is believ-
ed from the evidence of his order book, a.
bout $50 rank and file.
But if the dispositions for defence were
judicious, the defence itself was feeble
though, had it been more obstinate, the re-
suits would have been the same, for cannot
exaggerate the intrepidity Of our officers and
men, or say too much Of the spirit that ami
mated them.
The Truxton's guns were brought of: and
the others destroyed; the forts were also
destroyed.
Our loss in the attack has been small
fourteen killed and wounded.
The Albany and Refer have been left to
watch Tuxpan; the Hecla is ordered to
blockade Soto de la Mariner; the Elna to
occupy the river Tobasco; and the Vesu-
vius and Porpoise the port ofLuguna, while
