THE CApTUHED STEAM EuS.
The dispatches from Washington in relation
to the capture Of the American steamers OF
Vera Cruz by the q. S. sloop Of war Saratoga,
printed herewith, givo an additional insight
into tlat important niIair- Ry these it appears
tint Miramon, tue head Of tue Church or Re
dictionary party, was about to lay siege TO Vera
Cruz, and that for facilitating Ills operations lc
had chartered or bought two steamers at la
vana. These put to sea from that port, and
when of soundings, and in blue Water, got Up
their ar.maments and ho:stcd the Mexican flag.
Arrived at Vera Cruz, then invested By land,
they attempted to steal into the harbor without
showing their nationality, in the guisc Of ,ncr-
clantnen. 4 boat or boats, dispatched from
the Saratoga to ascertain their character, was
fired into; and then tho action, which resulted
in making prizes Of the steamers, cnsued. This
account is the first that has come to hand, and
we have no doubt it is to bc amended and re-
viscd by later adviccs from the seat Of war.
We confess that we do not givc it implicit credit
The tone Of tue dispatches justitcs the Ic-
lief that they we're cut from an Administration
newspaper, or that they were prepared By
parties anxious to create favorable impress
sion in rcgard to the questionable merits Of
the unfortunate affair. Tho inprobabiity
that boat, having the q. S. flag, dispatched
from vessel Of the Gulf squadron, should be
fired upon by tue ofli:crs Of a Mexican steam
N, in that placo and at that time, Is the thing
by which belief is staggered. But we await
the news.
In thc meantime the Democratic party, hun.
Fly for war; for more territory TO bo cursed by
American Slavery, for any excitement which,
will divert the people from the close scrutiny
into their sins, will bs conyulsed by trumped-
up indignation against Mexico, which nothing
hut 4 generous slice OF her domain will satisfy
And with the government in their hands, il
war is possible, war thcy will have,
