news from Mexico. The report of the condemna,
ton and conliscation of the Spanish bark Maria

ouence of this action of the Mexican authorities the

lombard the city, but was deferred from so doing
by Com. Jarvis, of the American squadron, and the
entire Spanish feet, with the exception of one vcs
sci, returned 10 Havana. Degollado, the liberal
general had, it was believed, seized conducta
