It was found impos- sible to save her, and she was abandoned. Lieuten- ant Hunter made his escape with a boat's crew, to* another vessel of the squadron, and the remaining officers and men surrendered to the enemy, but were afterwards exchanged, at the instance of the Mexican government, for General La Vega, and other prisoners taken by General Taylor. Though it may not have been often expressed in words, it is certain that a very general feeling of regret was entertained throughout the country..., when it be- came known, after the commencement of hostilities with Mexico, that no opportunity would be afforded to the navy for the performance of distinguished services upon their own appropriate theatre. Mexico was al- most without a naval establishment ; her marine con- sisting only of a few brigs, small steamers, and gunboats, intended rather for coast and harbor defence, than for offensive operations on the ocean. Soon after the re- turn of Santa Anna, however, a plan was devised for annoying American commerce, which it was thought, at one time, would afford an opportunity for our navy to display its unquestioned gallantry and heroism.
