EXTRACT OP A LETTER, DATED VERA CRUZ, SEPT. 28.
" We have had twc interesting sights since I closed
my last—the one a skirmish between forty-five or
fifty Insurgents, well mounted, and about the sane
llumher Jloyaliit dismounted volunteers (called
Petrioters),--within a mile of the walls. whom at length
they charged and dispersed, after cutting to piece;
and carrying off about half of them : the other hap-
pened only yesterday, and was en a:teck by probably
the same party, on the post for Mesico, about time
miles off, which they detained nearly the whole day
on the scorching tands, carrying off a few of the
loaded mules, Which vok advantage i; the convoy,
and killing two and wounding eight of the escort,
without further loss than that of one prisoner.: a rein.'
forcement of 100 men, horse alai foot, sallied out
from hence and returned this moroing, having cleared
the ravine in which the convoy was blockaded, but
neither recovered the property nor injured the enemy.
" On the former occasion the Insurgents did not
lose a man, although they charged to within an hun-
dred yards of the walls: on that occasion also they
had considerable booty, for they carried off about
or 60 cows and S 5 muskets. It is however surpriziag
that a set of men, who muster so extremely wean,
should be able to keep the country as they do, and
always come off victorious; from what I can see and
pick up, they are diminished in numbers but embol-
dened in spirit.
" The Revolution of this country dates from the
middle of 1810, say about sis months after the de-
position of the Viceroy of Buenos Ayiei, and still
mote after the insurrection at Caraccas: the original
mover was a each General, named. Davibar (I am
not sure if I have spelt it right), who penetrated into
the Kingdom on foot from New Orleans, disguised
as a pedlar, until he disclosed himself to the Ptdre
