" Extract of a Letter from an Officer of :the Sel;tiner Cis"'
brand (lately from Vera Crn-z), dated.Balize, July 5' " Mr. William D. Robinson is closely confined in the Castle
i
of Vera Cruz.'. He was taken at the head of a regiment °{
Patriots, at or near XaloPa. The Viceroy has given po'itiVe
orders to have him in clUse confinement. His situation is
deplorable : he has been imprisoned nine months, stisist•
ing on a wretched pittance of bad victuals; during that
period he has had only two
,changes, of linen. ..,1" thin
captivity he does not suffer his'fortitude to flag. Evert
r
hour he expects to be thrown into the bole of some vesse;
16atled with chains, and sent to Old Spain ; he has nutner°ll
friends in Vera Cruz, and throughout the Province °f
4
Mexico, Who are much concerned about his fate, but WI
influence can avail nothing.
" Vera Cruz is much agitated in consequence of Gene-
ral
Mina's expedition,' which they fear is for that place. It see°ll,
the Patriots no longer annoy the Royalists between theCitqe
hlexieo and Vera Cruz ; the last convoy, which arrived on
14th June, consisting of 3000 mules, with six millions of hart
money, was only guarded by 50 men., This looks like d .60
of force on the part of the Patriots; they have ruined ti'd
comrterce, thrown the country a century back, and rendered
every foreign and domestic produce exorbitantly dear;
have broken the spirits of the people, and rendered theta
different as to what Government they come under.
