 TIE rAwv.-whilst inc army is pashing iE.o the interior, Com. Perry is employing every hour in hunting along the coast for some new enterprise to distinguish his noble officers and men. He has now been gone for several days in a southeriy di- rectoH and we expect soon tD hear of some achieve ment, which will probably add another gem to the already brilliant crown of national glory which al- ready encircles it.

We understand that Capt. Mayo declined having any force there. how ever. as 1t would have weakened those under bis command too much. On his return, and whist in his boats descending the rver which is represent. ed as being both narrow and shallow. he was fired upon from dense chapparai, and one officer aEti five seamen wounded. The following is lst of their names.
