U.S. Squapnon, opr Anton Lizanno, October 23d, 1846. The second attack upon Alvarado by the American squadron, took place on the 15th inst. Accompanying this letter you will receive a diagram,showing the position of the forts and batteries; also the relative position of the vessels at the commencement of the attack. At midnight of the 14th inst. Commodore Conner made signals to the several vessels marked in the dia- gram, to prepare to get under way; immediately the steamers fired up, and the sail vetsels hove short, ready to trip their anchors at a moment’s warning. At half past one, signal was made to “weigh ;” immediately the whole squadron was under steam and sail, standing towards Alvarado. Atearly daylight the squadron was off the mouth of the Rio Alvarado, waiting patiently for tho sun to rise to give aclear view of the Sits, At 7A M., the Mississippi, flag ship of Commodore Perry stood in, and threw ahunired and twenty pound shell into the fort, marked 20. We could not ascertain the damage done by this shell. She thon stood close ia, and opened a heavy fire on the fort with her Paixhan shell guns; she continued her fire with little intermis- sion until2 P.M. In the meantime Commodore Cenner formed the steamers Vixen and McLane, with the gun- boats, into line, and stood for the bar. The McLane struck;. the remaining vessels passed over in safety; the Commodore taking the lead. While on the bar the McLane was sapeeet to the fire of all tho guns in tho fort; th around the gunboats like hail. The Vixen, whi empting to pass the fort, received a 24 pound shot under he: ds; another struck her ham- mcck netting, and came very near killing Commodore Conner, as ho leaning on the 3 at the time shot struck them. As the reefer passed the fort, she received a shot in the cut water, cutting away her bowsprit, shrouds )b-sta nother shot struck and carried away her triatic stay—a third passed through her stern. Most of the enemy’s shot over our vessels. The gun-boats rolle consequently the shells thrown from did notdo much execution. At 11:30 A.M. sippi dismounted one of the guns of the fort. When the Mexicans saw the 120 pound shells coming, they would run out of the fort, and return atter the explosion Atl P.M. the Cumberland and Raritan’s boats, manned by three hundred men and officers, were ordered to form into line, and land for the purpose of storming the batte- ry, under the command of Captain Forrest of the Cumberland. They had advanced but a short@distance, when the Commodore made a signal to them to return, and take shelter along side of the gun boats. The upper battery had openedits fire upon the Com- dore buta few minutes, when he wore ship and stood directly out of the ris at the same time making sig- nal to the squadron ‘* Anton Lizardo,” or in other wor: make good your retrest. The vessels immedia the Mexicans in quiet po: their forts, and ships of war, which we could have taken in one half hour from the time Commodore made signal to return. Never and men more enraged when they saw the ing to retura. Commouore Perry could scarcely contain himself. Many were th the Commodore by officers and men—in fact, Conner alone is to blame for the failure of the expedi tion. The officers and men behaved gollantly. cers have the greatest confidence in Commodore Perry. Commodore Conner informed the captains of the seve- ral ships that he again intended to attack the place, with two thousand men. The following ships he intends to anchor off the fortress at the mouth of the river for the purpose of bombarding it : tes Cumberland, Rari tan, Potomae, and steam frigates Mississippi and Prince ton ; tho steamers Vixen and McLene, with the gun- boats Reefer, Nonita, Petrel, Bonita and Forward, will Paaaa directly up the river, and attack the upper ort. 1 will give you full particulars of the next attack,with a ram, showing the relative position of the vessels in the attack.

What was probably intended to be the requisition of the Secretary of War upon the Governor of this State for a regiment of troops, arrived here in the mail of last evening. But on breaking the seal of the envelope, with the secretary’s coat of arms upon it, it appeared that, in the haste of sending off these requisitions to the Governors of the several States, that the one intended for his Excellency George M. Briggs, Governor of, Mas sachusetts, had been sent by his Secretaryship to the Governor of this State! What a faux pas was that—eh ? What villainous mistake, which, in case of invasion or insurrection, might have put Mr.’ Wright to his trumps, and compelled him to exercise a discretionary power in as to impress our citizens with the conviction that there are enemies and spies in our midst. ‘We may also add that suspicions are extensively en- tertained in this community in regard to the cargo of the bark Coosa, which was brought up day before yesterda: by Passed Midshipman Barrett, and which, although leged to consist altogether of cotton, is believed by many persons to be composed besides of certain articles of war intended for the enemy.
