Yucatan invaded By The Mexicans.—By the way of New Orleans we have late and important information from Yucatan. A Mexican expedition sailed from Vera Cruz the latter part of August, consisting of the schr Liberty (built here); the City of Dublin, steamer, man-of-war brig, with the new war steamer built in England. Guadaloupe, and two barges, and two schrs. as transports, conveying a force of about 2000 men. They proceeded to Laguna where they arrived early in September The Yucatan force there consisting only of about 300 men, one armed brig and two armed schooners, immediately surrendered themselves without the least resistance.—The whole body of the prisoners was afterwards sent to Campeachy. Yucatan is thus deprived of her entire naval force! Mexico having full command of her coast. The Mexican vessels are, it is stated, manned with English and American sailors, the officers being all English, according to the New Orleans papers. The sailors shipped in England were all paid in advance, the Government pledging itself to keep them so paid.
