CAPTURE OF TAMP1CO.
ARRIVAL OF COMMODORE PERRY.
The New Orleans Delta of November
21, says: Hard upon the intelligence of an
expedition having been despatched for art
attack upon Tampieo, follows the account
of
hold. Com. Perry of the U. S. steamer
Mississippi.arrived yesterday morning and
kinilly communicated to the Press the fact
of the complete success of the expedition.
The squadron arrived off Tampieo on the
14tfi inst., and immediately took posses
sion of the city, without striking a blow.
It may be remembered that in our state
ments of Mexican news, given some days
sintpe, we mentioned that Santa Anna in
tended tissuing orders to the garrison at
Tampieo to abandon the place and remove
their artillery, calculating j that in the
eveint of its being taken, a; strong force
would be required to garrison it, and that
the American .army would be proportion
ately weakened. In conformity to these
views, orders Were issued to! the military
commander to leave the town, and when
captured by the squadron, it vyas found
destitute of soldiers, ordinance and am
munition. The garrison hald evacuated
the1 place, and taken up the line of march
lor' San Louis Potosi. j ' ;
Commodore Connor landed about one
hundred and fifty sailors and marines, and
with them entered the town and quarter
ed his men in the citadel. There they re
mained at the last advices, a small flotil
la being stationed in the harbor to guard
the approach to the city. There is little
danger of an attempt at its re-capture
from without. But 150 men constitute an
efficient force to insure tranquility and
obedience within. It becomes necessary
to strengthen the garrison, and this, we
understand, is the principal motive which
brings Commodore Perry to Our city. He
is desirous of re-inlorcing the small de
tachment left in Tampieo, by an addition-;
al supply of troops. We trust he may
fully succeed in accomplishing his views.
We learn that Com. Perry considers the
possession of Tampieo important to the
United States in many respects, and is
therefore extremely anxious to throw into
that town aforce sufficient t6 bid defiance
at once to disaffection withih,or assaults
without its walls. j
The steamer Mississippi touched at the
mouth of the Bra2os, for the purpose of
informing General Patterson that Tampi
eo bad been captured, and of notifying him
that a reinforcement would be required
from the troops at Point Isabel.
pommodore Perry will leave to day, and
rejoin bis Squadron. We hope that the
capture of Tampieo, bloodless though it
be, may be the first of a series, of exploits
that will re-establish our gallant navy in
Corrr sforJetce of tie Kail, American. .

; ; Some I important conversations of semi
official character have recently been held In the
Executive mansion arid Executive departments
growing oui m, our, reanons wuoucucv, kjtr
veral interesting commanicati.ns were made
and conclusions arrived at on Saturday evening.
Most of ihosV present re officers of the Na
Tyt but ainiong those who were not was Gen.
Scott. The joint advice wisely given and well
received ' I believe, was that there 1 should he
all possible vigor imparted both to the opera
tions of the Army audJNavy, and as far as pos
sible that the one should aid and sustain the
other. The failures of the two. attacks! upon
Alvaradtj, and the consequncet of these xever
ses, hav put more public spirit into the coun.
sels of trje government than the combined vic
teries by the land forces from May to Septem
ber. The most important determination aimed
at is to send more vessels of more power to the
Gulf. A ship-of the line will be on the ground
as earl v las Dracticahle. It has been said of
late years that it takes longer to fit oot a pub
lic vessel from our navy yards than from the
government docks of England or France. So
I have heard within the month past from those
connected with the Navy departments and who
know the fact. If it be so, public enterprise
is as much behind private energy as private
economy is above public expenditure. The last
Congress authorized a large increase of the
Navy as! well as great additions to the Army,
but it is only just now that the administration
appear to have wakened up to ine importance
of uniting both branches of the public defence.
From the Navy department I heard yesterday
that an attack upon Tampieo would follow that
upon Tobasco. Then will come the' more ac-

The Indicator says that the Captain
General at Vera Cruz receivedjdespatch
es on the 5th its covering another from
the Secretary of State of the U. S. to the
Mexican Secretary of foreign Affairs.
The purport was unknpwn to the editor, i
but he presumes it to bei another proposal j
on our part for peace- Mr. Polk presum- i
ing that the fall of Monterey will dispose
the Mexicans to submission. It Will turn
out a good joke, saj's the editor bitterly,
for Mr. Polk spelling it Polk by accident
when he finds out thai that misfortune
has produced an effect precisely contrary;
and that there is not a man in the nation
who thinks! of peace until the V. Sltates
has given satisfaction for the injuries they
have done us, and indemnified us for it he
injuries inflicted by their Vandal crusade.
He goes on to say that the Supreme gov
ernment neither wishes! nor is authorized
to enter upon negotiations. The subject
belongs to tne congress to assemDie: in
December, which assuredly will not ren
der null the efforts which the nation is
making to obtain by force complete jus
tice. There will be peace, he adds, if the
Americans wish it, but it will be upon
these conditions, and afjer the prelimina

ment of what measures;for defence he had
taken, and j expressing! ar hope that he
should be able to repaid the honor of the

which carried the number of his troops to

Correspondence of the Baltimore American.
Washington, Nov. 24.
Gen. Scott and his staff are ordered to Mex
ico, to give additional spirit and direction to thc
army. This new movement is the result of the.
recent communications and conferences of which
I made mention in my letter of this morning,
and have! grown out of recent events in Mexi.
co, and advices from the head quarters of the
army, j
Gen. Scott was to leave in the mail boat this
mofningj and has probably gone. His destina
tion is Tampieo, but with large additional pow
ers to control bis actions when upon the ground.
From both the Navy and War Departments,
I learn that every preparation is making for an
attack upon Tampieo. The force commanded
by Major General Patterson will march from
Matamoros down by the coast through Tamau
lipas. The Van Ness case is still progressing. The
court to-day were engaged in hearing further
testimony and cross examinations.' The jury

We, understand that, in addition to the large
numbers of illegal votes procured from the Alms
House to vote for Mr. Jackson, in thc 18ib
ward, at the i late election, tbe disclosures !e

to invalidate his election. The illegal votes

" There is great speculation here just now as

Aiding claims of persons 1 am sometimes in- i

not, is, every day, acquireing strength, The
Richmond Enquirer has evinced its conviction
that he will ha a candidate, by the regrets it

FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 4, 184C.
THE CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS.
We referred to this call in our last, re
marking upon the change of the term of
service. Since then, we'bavc read a num
ber of paragraphs from different Journals
on the same subject. There seems to be
some fears that it will be difficult, to
muster a regiment in this State to ' Serve
during the war. We shall not be surpris
ed if it should so turn out. The Govefn
ment has acted very unwisely either in
calling for Volunteers to serve for twelve
months only, or in rejecting the regiments
raised for that term. A crreat many who
volunteered last summer, dTJ so without,
much reflection. They went into theranks
full of enthusiasm. They have had time
to reflect? since then; and, although we
believe that there are but fewf of them
who would have backed out, had their
services been demanded upon the terms

LETTERS OF j MARQUE I
A private letter was received yesterday from
the city of Mexico, under date of the 30th ult.,
and forwarded to Vera Crui by special express,
mentioning that the Mexican Government had
issued three hundred letters of marque, accom
panied with the rights of citizenship: for the re.
spective crews, and that the necessary docu
ments would be transmitted by the British steam
er Tay, to Havanna. t '! !;
A letter from Havanna, under date of the 7th,
corroborates: the aboveJ information, but adds,
that as a matter ot course, the .Spanish Gov
ernment will not allo& ; privateers! to lie fitted

doubt of the election of a Whin President bv
the people, whatever Mr. Calhoun may delerr

is a contingency which, to some extent, occu

estimate its probable result. We have, there
war, which, for aught they know, may
last twenty years. We should like to see
the regiment made up, and we think now
