agents and officers of her Britanic Ma
iesty were aware of the present DISPOSE
ton of the ship Lady Suffolk. without
inferring that the Captain General would
rightly know whether preparations were
on foot for the commission of piracy on
an extensive scale by parties under his
surveillance and control.
"The note of Judge sharkey' given
only to show that the Lady Suffolk had
de facto, ceased to be American property,
and would be at sea without papers to
protect her from the allegation of piracy,
has been seized upon with avidity by the
Captain General to found charges ofcrime
against Captain Gray-to throw odium
where it does not belong-upon the Anne
rican consul. Captain Gray, his son and
crew. are held to answer for doings with
the Lady Suffolk after she had passed
from their charge; and they may yet be
condemned under the same rule for any
Spanish robbery that may be committed
by his former vessel.''

Int and Important from Mexico.

New ORLEANS, Dec. 9.-The New Or

The defeat of Gen. Blanco, by the
French Count Raousset Boulbon is con-
tirmed. The latter has proclaimed Seno-

The revolution is progressing every
where. but no battle has yet been fought
between General Urago and General Vel
DEE, the leader of the Federal troops
The latter is in his fortified camp, and
has been summoned to surrender by &C.
neral Urago. His situation is very criti-
cal, and there is but little possibility of
his receiving assistance from the capital.
Gen. Uraga; whose forces now number
1000 men, had been received with the
greatest enthusiasm by the people of Qua
dalaxara.
Generals AIesia and Uboledo, at the
head of IL 900 men, have pronounced in
favor of the plan of Guadalaxara, looking
to the recall of Santa Anna, and the States
of Tamaulipas and Guanaxuato had also
declared for the revolution.
Judge Conkling arrived at the city of
Mexico on November 18th, but has not

The commissioners appointed to inves-
tigate the Gardiner claim had left for the

IMPORTANT FROM HAvANNA.-NEwO Or
LEANS, Dec. 1O.-Priyate letters received
here from Havana, by the steamer Che
rokee, state that the captain and crew of
the American clipper Lady Suffolk, inn
pri>oned on the charge of having sold
the vessel to slavers, have been released
by the Captain General. Their release
has caused much excitement among the
British residents, who assert that their
imprisonment was mersly a formality to
conceal the connection of the authorities
with the slavers.
Seven or eight slave ships, with full
cargoes, are daily expected here from AT
RIGA, and all the British vessels of war are
cruising off the Island awaiting their ar
rival to seize them. This is said to be
the object of so many English vessels Of
war having collected at Havana.
A new revolutionary paper called the
'fVox de Puebla," has been started at
Matanzas. 1t is put forth in manuscript.
and several copies have been sent to the
Captain General. The authorities con-
tend that it is written in the United States,
and sent to Matanzas, for the purpose of
making it appear that the American Fill
busters have an organized cooperation in
Havana.

Captain Gray of Baltimore and the
Havana Officials.

We gave an account, yesterday, of the
sale of the ship Lady Suffolk, by Captain
Gray of Baltimore. (by whom she was
built) to purchaser in Cuba, and the
staalthy manner in which she was suisse
quently despatched as SLAYER from the
harbor of Mariel, while Captain Gray and
son were in Havana, rs well us the re-
port of the arrest of Captain Gray and
sou, in that city, on the charge of selling
her to u slave dealer. A letter in the
New York Times, dated Havana, Nov.
80, says;
- It is understood that Judge Sharkey
has made application to General Canedo
to know for what cause Captain Adams
Gray. his son, and the crew of the ship
Lady Suffolk, are held in prison: to
which he received the indefinite response,
" that the proceedings had not been
brought to the notice Of the Captain Ge-
neral, TO enable him 10 give the cause,
and that he probably knew the cause
from what had transpired of street publici-
ty"-or to that effect.

Spanish subjects, and had received her

crew OF the ship while in his office. the
real character the vessel obtained subse-
quent to the transfer, by the provisions,
arms and munitions that were being placed
ON board OF her from vessels laden in the
port of Havana, and he addressed an in
formal note to the British Consul, stating
what he had just learned-giying it to
him tfor what it was WORTH through the
influence of official courtesy. This note
made no declaration against the character
Of the ship while under the American

REVOLUTION IN TABAsco.-Capt. Cous-
ms. of the brig Captain John, who arrived
at Now York on Monday, from Tabasco,
whence he sailed ON the 21st ult., reports
that civil war had broken out in. this
place, in which a large number of the cit.
liens opposed to the present government.
Two battles had been already fought in
which four hundred of the Mexican sol-
diers were killed. The reyolutionists had
captured two small towns.
The streets of the city Of Tabasco were
oyerfiown, and the water was from two TO
three feet deep on the floor of the custom
house Boats could easily proceed up the
principal streets.
The revolutionary excitement, was very
great. and it was supposed that as soon as
the water receded, there would be ge-
neral outbreak in the place.
A detachment of Mexican troops was
shortly expected there and It was surmi-
sed that they would meet with a much
warmer reception than they anticipated. !,
