The officers in charge of the Marquis de
Habana, report that the town of Alvarado,
which had been previously dismantcd by the
Liberals, was in possession of Miramon's
troops.
Mramon was actively besieging Vera Cruz,
but with slight chance of success, now that
his supplies and support from sea are cut of.
The Liberal forces in the interior had been
rapidly concentrating on the city of Mexico
which is now entirely surrounded.
Much bad feeling existed among the French
and Spanish fleets against the Americans
and great excitement prevailed generally Mt
Vera Cruz, in consequence of what is con-
sidered by many the high handed action Of
Com. Turner, in capturing these steamers.
