We have received letters from Vera Cruz to the
latter end of November, brought by the Hypo; ion.
—By these we learn that al° the exertions of
General Veliteas to effect tranquillity are likely
to prove unas ailing. The Patriots were mak.
ing most rapid progress towards revolutionizing
the country. Much Spanish blood, we learn with
regret had been spilled. General VesnoAs, by the
last accounts, was at Mexict, with the army, which
still was more than able to cope with the opponents
I of Goverenient in the open field ; but it was nct
pitched battles that the Patriots sought to gain posse•,.
sion of the country: Their system was similar to 0:e
adopted by the Guerillas in Old Sp:tin against thp
common enemy; but carried on with more decign.!
success. It is farther stated in the letters, that
, Patriots were In possession of nearly all the 5t,01:4
passes and places in the country ; and, NViliell is
still more important, cf all the valuable mines of
Mexico. No convoys with merchsndize cei
from Mexico to Vera Cruz, or to other princii•al
towns, without being intercepted by them. V :at.
GAS finds it his policy to remain in Mexico with tin
chief of his army. If he sends out detached parties,
they are mostly destroyed by the Guerillas,agaitht
whom the army cannot act in a body with any effect.
