We understand that Capt. Mayo declined having any force there. how ever. as 1t would have weakened those under bis command too much. On his return, and whist in his boats descending the rver which is represent. ed as being both narrow and shallow. he was fired upon from dense chapparai, and one officer aEti five seamen wounded. The following is lst of their names.
