FROM VERA CRuZ-

New YORK, October Give learn from a
passenger in the schooner Fly, from Vera
Cruz that the U. S. ship of war Hornet, Capt.
Smith, was AT that place when he sailed, and
would leave there the LIST of October, and re-
turn 10 New York, touching at Tbompson's
Island and Havana. The captain, officers and
crew were all in good health.
The Mexlcans have erected a ratification
at Point Mocanho, in order to reduce the
Island of Sacriiicios in the hands Of the Spa
niards. The Governor of ST. Juan de Uloa
Immediately sent flag oftrucr to the city,
with word. that If gun was fired at the said
island, he would open fire on the city, and
iayit in ashes. But al! hostiIitics had been
suspended until the arrival of Gen. Victoria,
from JalaPa, who it is presumed will settle
The affair. The port ofV+ra Cruz was shut on
the 18Th September. The Congress would
meet on the Sd of October. We have re-
ceived papers of the 10Th September. GdE.

VERA CRIJZ

We are indebted TO Captain Huntress, of
the schr. Fly, in % days from Vera Cruz, for
Tile OF papers to The l6h September incu-
sive, from which we have translated the fol-
lowing: =
Much agitation exists in several of the prov
nces, on the subject of the new organization
of the government. Tho most oflhe inhabi
tants are in favor of a confederation of states,
on the plan of our own, there are not want
ing interested men to oppose most sirrnuously
any change Of this description. Some very
spirited documents have been published at
Vera Cruz, on this subject.
The government at Mexico have published
circulars addressed to the citizens, inviting
them 10 subscribe To loan of eight millions
They were engaged on the Goth Of August in
discussing proposed loan of twenty millions,
TO be negotiated with some foreign house but
ON account OF the jmperfection of our file we
cannot determine whether the measure was
adopted or not. The executive appear to
have exceeded their powers in contracting
with an agent of the house of Richards, of
London and the question in Congress was
on confirming their unauthorized act. TIE
late reports from Havana make it probable
that the loan was contracted. " y .4dc.

To account for this visitation upon a cv
generally healthy, is more than we can pretend
To do satisfactorily; but we certainly believe
that the late overflow was the prime agent in
generating the disease. Some have attributed
1t To cutting down the streets. We are inclin-
