Some additional intelligence w:ih received on 
the 20th, from Lieut. Chapman, who had reached 
Now Orleans in one of the captured steamers, as 
bearer. The facts which be communicates are 
nearly the same ms those in Lieut. Minor's dis¬ 
patch. lie states the engagement with the two 
Mexican war steamers of Miramon’s government, 
and Bays: 
I am in charge of one of the steamers. The 
Preble accompanies tbe other, with tho majority 
of the prisoners. The loss of life Is small, and 
among tho crew only. They fired the first shot 
I will be in Washington as soon as possible. The 
engine of the vessel commanded by me, broke 
down at sea. By order of Capt. Jarvis, I am 
directed to say that tbe ships at Vera Cruz are 
very short of provisions, particularly bread. It 
is imprudent for any of them to leave Vera Cruz 
at this time, In the present state of feeling there. 
It appears that Capt. Jarvis, in this affair, acted 
without any instruction from this government. 
They had, however, sent out instructions by Min¬ 
ister MeLane, and to the Commander of the Gulf 
Squadron, that in case any attempt, was made hy 
Miramon’s vessel to blockade Vera Cruz, or any 
of the ports In tbe Gulf, to resist them at all 
hazards. Capt. Jarvis, who is a discreet and gal¬ 
lant officer, with a full appreciation of his duties 
in protecting American citizens and their prop¬ 
erty against the piratical operations of Miramon, 
is about 15 killed and 20 or 30 wounded. 
Captain Turner asked Marin why lie fired on 
the American vessels without provocation. Marin 
replied that his men could not he controlled. 
Ho knew the nationality of the Saratoga, and 
understood her signals. The men fired contrury 
to his orders, Capt. Turner replied, “you are 
entirely responsible for the outrage.” 
It is stated that the expedition cost $300,000, 
mostly furnished in Havana hy the government, 
in accordance with a secret article in the Almont 
treaty. 
There were captured with the two steamers six 
mortars, six 21 pounders and 2,000 stand of small 
arms. The steamers arc worth $60,000. They
