7 The schooner ST. Paul, Capt Talbot, seven
days from Tampico, arrived here last evening.


Capt. Talbot reports that on the day he left, n
messenger had arrived from the wrecked ship On
diaka stating that the volunteers on board. to-
gether with Capt. Miller, who, with a company
of artillery, had been despatched 10 their relief,
were surrounded by a Mexican force from Tus-
pan, amounting TO 1000 men, About 200 mus
kets only being saved from the wreck, they found
it impossible to disperse Che enemy. ..


:. Gen. Patterson feeling well satisfied of the truth
Of this report despatched at once 800 cavalry TO
their assistance. The schr. Ella was also char
tered, and took on board the armament from the
U, S. schr. NonantoS (Mexican prize, } commnnd.
ed by Mldshipman Marshall D.. Smith, likewise
2o0sregulars, and proceeded TO the wreck. The
result may be looked for by the next arrival from
that, port. +. O. ....s.,...o. .a. - = al !!


Although the above report of Capt Talbot,
places the volunteersand Capt Milier's company


in rather perIous position, still it will be seen.
taking the worst view Of the case, they were only
surrounded. The report does not say that they
were unable to protect themselves but that they
were unablesto disperse the enemy. Assuming
their position, then 10 be as critical as rep
resented, our conviction is that they managed to
keep the enemy at bay until the additional rein
forcement sent down by Gen. Patterson reached
them, which would of course dispel all apprehen-
sion for their safety. T. ..z-a g. -
