 Her news Is one day laler from Vera Cruz. The main interest excited by this arrival, centres in the report communicated 10 the James L. Day, by Mr. Clifton, the pilo, of Tampico, who boarded her on the I7th of that city. He stated that they were in dai- ly expectation of an attack from the Mexi- cans, who were reported 10 be l500 strong In the vicinity of the city. On the night ot the 18th inst, demonstration was made by the Mexicans in Tampico 10 rise.

Scott be- fore he took up his line of march from Rio rrio. ey

The same evening, the authorities of the city were on the lookout for two Mexican off, cers, who commanded ai the attack on the train 8, the National Bridge
 The Eagle says that one of our soldiers fouad concealed in the Castle of San Juan de Ulua, large bag of money, which has been handed over to the Comnaadani. By the way, this gentleman, Col.

La vs- ga, and his captive brother officers, in the guard d-house in the Castle of San Juan de Ulos." @This," sdJs Col wilson, q am obliged to say, is wholly untrue. Gen.
