New Hampshire Statesman And Concord Register

THE HORNET. Extract of a letter received at the Department of State, from the Consul of the United States at Tampico: "A severe hurricane, which occurred on the 10th of September last, did more damage to the country than the invasion itself. Most of the American merchants at the period of the invasion, embarked their effects, books, papers, &c. on board the United States ship Hornet, which ship went to sea in the gale, and has never since been heard from. The principal part of the English, French and German merchants, placed their property, books, &c. on board a French brig, called the Caroline, then in port, to be sent about 90 miles up the river, at a place called Panuco; on her way up she encountered the hurricane, which capsized her, and she sunk, not an article being saved."
