We some days ago republishcd from the Bui.
letin a letter containing . brief account OF the
doings Of our fellow-citizen, Col. Duperu, in
and about Mexico. We find in addition the
following particulars from a correspondent Of
the Mobile Tribune, writing from Anton Liz.
ardo. His numerous friends-and no man in
the city has more-will read them with inter-
est:
Con the eth, the Princeton returned to this
anchorage, and the commodore to his own ship
During his absence the prize steamer, PetTita,
brought down from Vera Cruz on the 23d,
Lieut.. Col. AIPHoNsE DupRRu, Of Louisiana.
Ais adventures are rather romantic, as far as /
can learn Under instructions from Gen. Scott,
he set out from New Orleans to visit Vera Cruz
and the surrounding country as a spy-andto
cover his intentions proceeded first from Has
vonO, and obtained a passport to Vera Cruz as
a Frenchman Gle is Of French descent and
speaks the tongue like a Parisian) After arr.
wing there he penetrated as far as Jalapa, ascer.
tanned the probable number Of men that could
be thrown into the castle Of San Juan de UlorS
the length Of time for which it is pruyisioned,
&c, and the general tout ensemble, the material
&C., that would oppose Gen. Scott's contem-
PLACED attack. During his stay he narrowly
escaped detection, being suspected and subjec.
ted to several close examinations. Being in
formed that the authorities intended commit
ing him to the castle as a spy, he had barely
a time to escape on board a French merchan-
bark lying at SACRIFICES, from which he was
: taken and brought down by the Petrila. His
e escape was singularly providential. The men
e oflhe boat supposed him one OF the passengers
of the boat and carried him off by mistake,
n They were waiting for one OF the passengers
and being ordered authoritatively in French to
"shove off, obeyed unhesitatingly. Again
the arrival Of the Petrito at Sacrifcios was pure.
m " accidental; nor should | omit to state that
the French bark had been brought into Anton
LizOrdo as a prize a few days before, and has
just been let go.
'e On the 23d, three vessels ran the blockade q
es Vera Cruz, notwithstanding the vigilance O
5s' the Albany and St. Marys'. In fact steamer
ne are the only Vessels to blockade efectually
On the 25th the French brig Princes Marie wa
brought in by the Albany. She was take
IT near CamPeohe, and awaits The commodore
decision. The same day the small schoone
no Mariner, arrived from Havana, with despatche
for the commodore, supposed relating 30 tn
en- 6ttinU ont of nrivateers from thar mort unds
Mexican colors.
m On the 29th the POrpoise returned from Tan
ate pico, and the sloop Mariner proceeded to til,
place with Col. Alphonse Duperu on board
the a passenger. or course he communicates wit
Dill Gen. Scott as early as possible.

MI Ritchie,s EXPULSION.

The following extract of an article in the
National Intelligencer, of the 18th inst, places
the Government EDITORS ex expulsion from the U.
S. Senate in a correct point Of view.
"What the Senate has done is not, according
to the term which the Government paper would
now give 10 it, an invasion of the liberty OF the
press. 1t is no such thing. 1t is not even an
attempt to restrain its licentiousness 1t is
nothing but a manifestation Of its W s%elf-res-
pect.
By the exclusion from the hall of the Senate
no right of the editors of the Union has been
infringed Their admission within the cham
Der was not required, or even authorized by
any law or rule, but was a mere courtesy o.
comparative recent date, having formerly no
existence. No one doubtsthe right Of The senate
whom 1t will admit to its privileged seats ano
whom exclude or its night to vary in that respect
not only its practice but its rules. 1t is wei
known, for example, that at different times Ia
dies have been admitted, and again excluded
when their presence has been supposed to IN
t~erfere with the convenience Of Senators, to
embarrass THAR proceedings or perhaps to mis-
lead their judgments. Within the last week
they have been one day admitted, and agar
next day excluded, 1--WE dare not say wisely
and the next day again admitted
In conclusion, it is gratuitous misropresen
tation Of the course Of the wings, to lay thl
proceeding, whatever be its merits or dement,
at their door. 1t was a member OF the Demo
cratic party who brought the matter before tn
Senate, and who invoked its inter ention !
behalf Of it's violated privileges. To this inv0
cation it is surely not the fault Of the wings
so many Of his political friends have turned
deaf ear.

US battle, An express had been sent to Santa
Fe for part Of the artillery under M ior Clark ;
