The New Orleans Pcayune has been furnished,
by an Officer Of the Navy who was engaged in the
affair of Tabasco, with an ample summary and
sketch of the proceedings of Com. PERRY, with the
detachment of vessels sent under him against Ia
basco. The enterprise (the Pcayune says) was al
together successful. The object Of the expedition
to cut out certain prizes anchored in the river.
These were all taken. When the city was sum-
moned to surrender, the people were all in favor Of
yielding at once. The Governor and soldery OPP
posed it. Time was given for all peaceable per-
sons, women and children, to get out of harms
way but the Governor would not allow any one
leave, that is feared most Of those killed dur
ing the bombardment were not soldiers. Some of
the regulars were killed. Had it been that the
execution was principally done upon inofensive
persons the city would have been demolished, with
the exception of the residences of foreign consuls
and the hospitals.


We give in another column the official account of
these proceedings.
