An overland express from New Orleans
TO the morning papers of this city, reached
Baltimore yesterday morning, with advices
from that city to the 9TH instant.
The New Orleans Picayune of the 9TH
inst, announces the arrival of the schooners
Sarah and Major II. Bache, from Tan!:pi-
co, both having sailed on the 9th ult.
BY these arrivals the most interesting
news relates to the American prisoners in
Mexico. All the accounts, verbal and
written, agree that intelligence had been re-
ceived at Tampico tina, Majors Gaines and
Borland, Capt. Clay and the other kmerif
can prisoners in Mexico, had heen released
and Ordered to Tampco under large es-
cort. The escort was said TO consist of
900 men.
The verbal reports which have reached
us, are ID the effect that the prisoners had
reached within $50 miles of Tampico, they
were met by Urea, who detained them as
prisoners. The story is further, that Urea
had ordered ont all the men of the country
that could be raised, for the purpose of ma
king an attack upon Tampico.
1t appears TO be certain that such was
deemed immincncv of an attack, that three
companies of the Il tn infantry, which were
waiting at Tampico for transportation to
Vera Cruz, were ordered up into the city.
Every man there was under arms, expect
my the town to be attacked
We have heard so frequently of the APP
prehenslons of an immediate attack upon
Tampico, that very little attention is paid
to them. The present alarm appears to be
better founded than usual. We see no rea-
son TO doubt the report of the release of our
prisoners, of their encountering Urea and
and his treatment of them. We have moth
ing but the reports current in Tampico. and
credited by Captains Farwell and Mellow
ell, of the schOoners which have arrived.
The Sarah was boarded on the 2Sth ult,
of Soto la Marina from the u. S. brig Hec-
la, blockadmg the port in company with u.

Santa Anna, it is said, has demanded
forced loan Of one million, and is raising

sion of the guerillas.
Commodore Perry has returned from his
expedition to Tobasco; he found the river
impossible, and consequently landed his
troops and marched to the town. He

tered.

loud blast:
1.-The Philadelphia is the next steamer
OF the new line of four PACKETS; and may
the untoward circumstances be far distant
which would cause change from the soft

venience and common advantage of the
whole civilized world, with the ocean'fr free
to every flag, and the shipping thereon
ready, not to ''sinK, burn and destroy" each
other, and thus rudely arrest the onward
prosperous march of civilization and uni
versal brotherhood, but to distribute the
manufactures, products, creature-comforts
and luXuries of every land throughout the
ha5itable earth, increasing useful knowl-

wealth, and ministering to the pressing
wants of famine stricken humanity, with
true Christian benevolence, and in the
