We hnd IN the New oreaDs papers received by
this evenings mall the following additional particu-
lars of the intelligence brought by the Mississippi
from Vera Cruz They fully confirm the account
given in the Mobile Herald.


IMPORTANT FROM VERA CRUZ


BY our private correspondence from Pensacola,
received yesterday advised of the arrival Of
the United States steamship Mississippi al that
port on the 18th INST, IN four and half days from
Vera Cruz.


An encounter had taken place on the 7th inst,
between a portion Of our squadron and the Mex
cans, at the port of Alvarado. Com. Conner had
ordered the steamships Princeton and Mississippi,
and three four smaller vessels, 10 Alyarado, ioT
moored there under the protection ofthe guns Of the
fort. Unfortunately, neither of the steam vessels
could get In owing TO the shoalness of the harbor
and the undertaking had therefore, To be abandoned
on the 9Th, without succeeding in its object. The
Princeton and the Mississippi, however, were
bled from their position, TO bring their heavy metal
10 bear on the enemys works on shore, and succeed
ed In short time in silencing the guns and batter
ing down the fort. No damage sustained by
snyof the vessels Of the squadron in thealiack.


The revolution in Vera Cruz, in favor Of Santa
Ana, Of which we had previous intelligence by way
OF Havana, is confirmed by this arrival. II is also
stated that similar revolution had simultaneously
broken out in the city of Mexico, the results Of
which were not definitely known at the time Of the
Mississippis sailing. No mention is made Of the
arrival Of Santa Ana at Vera Cruz, and the presump


on is that he had not arrived. the British packet
in which he was to sail from Havana would not
probably leave there before the morning Of the 9Th
making his arrival at Vera Cruz improbable before
the 18th or 18th. r..


A melancholy occurrence, and one which cast
gloom over the squadron, took place the night Of
the oath, of Vera Cruz. A sail was observed IN the
ofing the day previous, which afterwards proved TO
be the ST. Mary's; boat was manned from the Mis-
sisspp and put TO sea, for the purpose of overhaul
ing the vessel, and in violent squall il was cap
sized, and Midshipman Wingste Plllsbury, of this
city, and seaman, were drowned,


The usual resolutions Of regret and coincidence
were, in view Of the fatal catastrophe passed by the
officers Of the Mississippi


We have since seen letter addressed TO a gentle
man in this city, from Pensacola IL is there stated
that Santa Ana daily expected at Vera Cruz
and that one hundred guns had been fred at the
Castle Of San Juan de Uloa in anticipation Of his ar
rival. .r.
