Kv unvnral American citizens, who furnished
Capt. Jones with some particulars relative to the rnnfnro. of the Amorican schooner Martha. and the
imorisonment of her passengers, by tho Mexican
schooner of war Montezuma. Upon receiving this information, Capt. Jones ran into Mat3gorda, and t , i .i r t i . o i l i

fectual interposition of our Consul at Metamoras in lwhlf of ilmsn unfortunate Americans, who had
been confined for several weeks, under hatches, on hoard tho Montcxum&. Tho Ingham left Matacor-
da on tho 12th inat. with tho avowed intention of pockinrr tho Montezuma and demanding their im
mediate release. Sho accordingly appeared off
this port at daylight on the 14th inst. having fallen about five miles to leeward with tho Montezuma, then at anchor outsido of tho bar. Sho immediately got under way upon descrying tho I nfrbsm. lorQ down for and fired at her. At sun-
thfl 'afar Rnantded banner1 was displayed from
tho mast-head and main-peak of the Ingham, at tho amo time lottincr slil her 'docs of war' at tho Mex
ican, and tacked shin in chase of her. No sooner
raa tho flash from tho Ingham's guns perceived, than thn Montezuma hauled her wind and made all
ail from her. By this timo tho numerous sand bills in front of this port wcro literally covered with American citizens, whoso heart-felt satisfaction on
this occasion cannot bo described ; for six hours tho Inrtliam wan driving under a heavy press of sail,
endeavoring to come up with tho Montezuma, and firing at short intervals at her to bring her to: twico iKo Mexican took heart and squared away for the
Ingham. On these occasions the Ingham's foresail n4 in tho brails immediately and her topsail to
tho mast, gallantly waiting her approach; but no sooner was this perceived by tho Mexican than he umilil haul hia wind afrain and run from her. At
10 o'clock tho Captain of tho port sent off a reinforcement cf thirty men with orders to defend the Montezuma, and not to disgrace tho flag. Wo ifmn nvnectcd a battle would ensue, but imatrino
our surprise when, instead of running down for tho eaucy little Ingham, ho put his vessel's head on - . . i i it
shore and run her into tno Dreaders, grounueu on tho bar, and had to throw overboard some articles Itfiforo ho could cot her into the harbor. The
Ingham then camo to in handsome style, about a railo and a half to leeward of tho breakers, and eomo distance from tho town, and despatched a hnnt for tha shore. On her arrival tho officers, Lt.
Harly and Lt. Mooro, waited upon the Captain of
tho Tort, where they met tno commanuing oniceroi
ilia Montezuma, and delivered mm a note irom
Cant. Jones, demanding tha immediate liberation
nf ibn Amarican citizens. Tho officers of the
Incliam then, waited upon General John S. Ma-
son, en American citizen; they haa Decn in tue hmiso but few minutes with him, when Capt.
Boylon, of tlio American brig Pharos, and several ma - i
other Americans, entered and intormed him that a guard of soldiers and armed rabble, headed by tho commanding officer of tho Montezuma, were
irmrrhincdown to tako their boat and crow. Tho
Lieutenants of tho Ingham rushed to their boat, 8 word in hand, and ordered their crew to arm themcKts and stand on their defence, which thev did
-witb all alacrity that has ever characterized the American tars on like occasions. Ooo of tho crew named William Peterson, seized tho American eiiRifrn. nimned on shore, exclaiminu 'this is mv
in-otectioul" This movement brought the soldiers nmi rabble to a dead stand, when a parley ensued
boween tho American officers and this very gallant Lieutenant Commandant, who ordered our officers
to nut up their swords, which they refused unless as
fmrPtl that thev should not auain be molested. At
this crisis tho Captain of the Port came down, or.WpiI the soldiers to their Quarters, and severely
j f w reprimanded this heroic commandant of tho Montezuuia, and then apologized to our officers, pledging word that the attack was unauthorized by him
at tho samo timo assuring them that the American citizens, whose immediate liberation Captain Jones bad demanded, were at liberty tho day before, which was known to me, and confirmed by many American gentlemen then present; but it is evident, that their liberation was effected by the timely interference of Captain Jones, for it was known to tho Mexican authorities here one week before their liberation, that Capt. Jones hnd despatched Lieutenant Moore to Matagorda for the purpose of obtaining tho depositions of certain gentlemen that were on board the Martha when captured. At daylight tho next morning the Ingham's boat left the harbor, but returned again in a few hours with Lieutenant Harly and a request from Capt. Jones to tho Captain of the Port to furnish Iiirn with a pilot (they being entirely under his control) for tho purpose of bringing him into the harbor, which was not complied with, under plea that tho rabble were excited in consequence of the Montezuma having been driven into port by the In "ham, so llut serious consequences might arise if sho came iu. He, no doubt, anticipated Capt. Jones' attention, which was to enter tho harbor and demand satisfaction for the cowardly attack tnado on lu3 officers and boats' crew, and which would be received in no other light than an insult offered to the American flag. Upon Lieut. Harly's finding he could not get a pilot, he left the habor and returned on board, Tho Ingham then got under way and stood to tho eastward. The general impression hero is, that sho will attack the Monlceuma, if sho ventures out. rt. .,..; ,.r ncv littla vessel hem Ii.iq
