When the Jas. L. Day arrived off the bar of Tampico, on the 17th, she was boarded by Mr. Clifton, U. S. pilot, who stated that the citizens of Tampico were in daily expectation of an attack from the Mexicans, who were reported to be 1500 strong in the vicinity of Tampico. On the night of the 21st inst., demonstrations were made by the Mexican citizens to rise, but by timely information, our troops were on the alert, and lay on their arms all night. On the 15th inst., a party of Mexican lancers attacked the out-boats, and drove all the sentinels into the city. On the 16th, a party of Mexican rancheros attacked the Pilot Station; they were greeted with a volley of musketry, when they retreated.
