FOR. THE SUN.

Ma. EDITOR—I yesterday morning attended
Divine Service at the Parish Church of,St. Mary-
le-Strand, where a Sermon was preached by the
Rev. 111 r. BitAztra, for the benefit of the Dis-
tressed Peasantry of Ireland. It is impossible
for the (1 name it as a stranger) to speak too
highly of the laudable exertions of this Rev. Gen-
tleman in their behalf. His discourse was as fine
a composition of.real feeling as ever met the ear of
a 'congregation. Ile is, I observed, green in years,
but he is grey in wisdom and humanity. I never
remember being presefit in any Church where tl:e
intensity of sympathy was so strongly marked on
the countenances of all "bddressed. It was his
aim to touch the better feelings of his auditors—
and he succeeded. His discourse was a simple
relation of facts delivered with heart-felt energy
—such appeals strike home at once.

By the Insertion of the above in your welt
conducted Paper you will oblige,
Your obedient humble servant,
.holy' 8. A LOVER OF REAL HUMANITY.
P. S.—l have since been gratified by bearing-
that the collection at the Church door exceeded
any made on a charitable occasion for several
years.

NEW ORLEANS, MAY G.

Copy of a Letter from Mr. THOMAS REILLY, to a Corn.
merciar House in this City, dated Vera Cruz; April 13, 1022 :
For the information of our fellow-citizens who may be dis-
posed to adventure in the commerce of this country, I beg
leave to state to you, that affairs, remain in a very unsettled
state between the Fort of St. Juan de Uloa and the G wern-
ment (Mexican) of this city. The caprice and ill humour
of the GoVernor of the Castle produce very unpleaiant
incidents, which will in all probability lead to open hesti-
lities, and the total defeat of the Spanish forces now in
that fort. Meanwhile commerce is crippled by their con-
tentions, and until they cease, no expedition to this port will
be perfectly safe. • Vessels arriving are subject to vexations
of different kinds ; and to-day it is said that Davila, the (Go-
vernor of the fort) will suffer no more American vessels to enter.
'An English schooner, which came in yesterday from Jamaica
with a cargo, is ordered to depart in forty-eight hours,
that time being allowed her to water and refit. Perhaps this
order may be rescinded to-morrow--all is u .certainty, and an
uncertainty is inconsistent with the success of the merchant.
The Mexican Government is as liberal and friendly to fo-
reigners as could be desired. If hostilities against the port are
resorted to, in allprobability anew port will be opened some 15 or
20 miles to the southward of this. However, every facility will
be given for landing on any point of the coast, and St. Juan de.
Uloa is the only one in possession of Spain. The trade of Vera.
Cruz is what gives importance to this—let it be removed, and
the Spanish forces become Useless.
Under all these circumstances, no vessel should proceed for
this city without first obtaining positive knowledge of its situa-
tion, which may be easily had to the northward or southward
'of the port. The danger from pirates as well as from Spanish.
armed vessels should prevent any but pilot boat schooners, with
a 'small armament, to enter on the commerce of. the Gulf of
Mexico.
Should the Governor of Uloa persist in his design of exclude
ing foreign flags, I mean to move my establishment to Tam-
pito.
The interior, after a very slight disturbance from the capi-
tulated troops, is now tranquil. I set out this afternoon tar
Mexico.
