tained her whereabouts, steamed for the
mouth of the Teacapan, and at daylight
on the It'll her six boats, containing a ~
pound howitzer and SO men and officers,
under command of Lieut.. Brownson,
proceeded through heavy breakers into
the river, expecting to find the steamer
about s or 8 miles from the mouth.
From information received at the settle
ment called Boca Teacapan. they became
convinced. she was there, and pushed on
AZ miles from the mouth-arriving at the
steamers hiding place at 1870 p. m. The
steamer was boarded and taken, but it
was discovered that all extra forces had
been moved ashore in the mangrove
bushes, and had erected a battery with
the howitzers of the Forward, leaving on
board the vessel only z men. Before
boarding. the first cutter, commanded by
Ensign Wainwright, started in pursuit
of a boat which was escaping from the
steamer, and received the first yolley Of
musketry-accompanied by shell, shrap-
mel and canister from the bushes. Mr..
James Donnell, coxswain, was instantly
killed, and Ensign Wainwright, with two
of the crew, severely wounded. The
firing from the bushes was continued
until the return of fire from the Mohi-
cans launch obliged them to desert their
pieces; but they afterward recommended,
and made hot work for the Mohican's
men. Finding the steamer drawing 7
feet, and aground in 8 feet of water, and
that it would be impossible ever to get
her out of the river, 1t. Brownson con
cluded to fire her; and accordingly caused
to be emptied into the coal pile and bed
ding, and other infiammable articles, a
large flask of turpentine, which had been
taken on the expedition for signaling
purposes; and afterwards the whole was
set ON fire in three different places.

companies of this city, have applied to
be mustered as part of the organized
militia of the State. There are two

as San Francisco already has more than
her share of the militia of the State, an
increase is not deemed advisable. None
of them will be mustered in a present.
