Dispatches from Commodore Conner, under dates
of l0h l2th and l4th of August have been received
at the Navy Department, some extracts from which
we lay before readers.


In reference to the accident that befe the Cumber-
land, Commodore Conner says, that "the guns, spars
shot, provisions, &c, that were removed from the
ship to tighten her, that occasion, were all re-
covered and put in their places two days after the
ship was got afoat. With the exception of some


injury to her false keel, and the probability that some
of the copper on the bottom is injured rubbed off,
as stated in my letter above mentioned, am not
aware the ship has sustained any damage of conse-
quence."


"The British ships" he adds, "anchored at Sacri6-
clos, have lost several men by fever The cases
were so numerous on board the steamer Vesuvius
that it was deemed necessary to send her to Bermu
da. Although the weather has been extremely wet
and unpleasant for the last three weeks, the crews
Of the different vessels of the squadron still continue
to enjoy good health.

the squadron was at once despatched to make search

ernment of General Paredes and in favor of General
Santa Ana, on the 3lst utimo.


"An express from Mexico arrived at Vera Cruz
on the afternoon Of the 9th, with intelligence that
the city had pronounced and would fully adhere to
the plan of Vera Cruz. Gen. Morales is at the head
Of the movement in the capital. Nearly all the de-
partments have pronounced against Paredes, and the
remainder, it is believed, will follow their example,
that there can be no doubt but that his govern.

portion Of his troops have deserted him. and the
