FROM VERA CRUZ.

A commercial friend, who is in pos
session of late Vera Cruz paper, has
favored us with copies of the following
proclamatioDs of Commodore Porter,
issued on the 10th of November We
published some days since report that
measures of this kind had been taken by
the Mexican Government, but we be-
lieve that the intelligence has not been
until now reduced to certainty. 1t is
subject OF immense importance to
our commercial men. The step taken
by Commodore Porter, under the di.
ection Of bis Government, amounts to
letting loose the cruizers and private
armed vessels of Mexico, or any adven.
turer who with the hope of gain may
now engage in the service Of that ma
ton, against an extensive and prohta
BILE trade carried on by citizens of the
United States in their own vessels:

Having in my power sevsral commits

directed to me by the Supreme Govern
ment, for such persons as may desire to
arm vessels to cruize againstthe enemy,
| notify the public that those who want
them may apply, it being understood
that they will be granted, with the for
malities which are provided by the or
dinances and laws which treat Of this
subject.

We were called on few days ago
by a sickIy looking boy, about ID years
old, TO beg some assistance from the
parish. He was bearfooted, and his
miserable rags but half concealed his
nakedness. His story was short and
simple. His father was dead-his
mother unable to support him--and he
had been at work in the country during
the fall and winter thus far. whence
he had been turned off by bis master
in the condition in which he appeared
before US HE said he would cheer.
