VERA Cruz, Dec. 9, 1874
SIR:-There is nothing talked OF here but the
Revolution that IS going forward, and it seems to
be the opinion Of the best informed persons, that
SANTA Anna . tiIilC Vi uC6tIuCtOA Aoo ulilvOu n
this moment he is, with his army Of about six
thousand men, at Queretaro, about sixty or eighty
leages from Mexico, where he went to meet the
Revolutionary General, ,Paredes, who, with strong
force, was watching Santa Annals movements, and
was ready at moment to take advantage OF the
Presidents mistakes. Puebla, the capital of the
State of that name, and place celebrated for
its manufactures, with population of about
900 or 10000, had pronounced against Santa
Anna, and it was daily expected that the City oi
Mexico would follow. Santa Anna having be-
come annoyed at the interference OF Congress, had
put that body down, the news of which was pro-
claimed with great pomp and show in Vera Cruz.
However, all this showing off was got up by the
military and 1t was very evident that the people
did not participate in the "glorious news"
The Mexican people are very curious In their
feelings, and generally speaking, look ON things
with Indifference. This has been their failing for
some time, but now they are up in arms against
the government. When you touch man. pocket,
you generally make him feel, and this has been
truly yessa sde !. late It. @ whea ss
on foreigners has created feeling against hlm
which am confident he will find irresistible and
his giving way before it is no longer matter Of
doubt but merely aquestlon of time. The princi
pal mercantile houses have refused TO pay the last
contribution, and answered the authority OF the
collector by saying, He might seize or steal their
=
ack nowledge the demand" This was replied to
in very summary manner by the collector bring
ing with him the second time he called, guard OF
soldiers, and when the same answer was given,
they levied on the goods in the store, which were
sold at public auction. The foreign ministers have
protested against this robbery, but the merchants
have little hope Of recovering their loss. Business
is very dull, and as long as government continues
to grant special licences to import goods under the
old duties, no one can compete with the " favored
few,'' as they were enabled, from having this
advantage, TO sell their goods twenty or
thirty per cent cheaper than others The custom
strict, and they will take from person anything
he may have contrary to law, however small and
valueless it may be, and yet these very same wor-
thies go from ship to ship, purchasing every de.
scrlptlOn Of merchandise, and on their return TO
the shore, there is no notice takenof them every
thing is corrupt here, and money carries the day
in every case.
MIR. Gushing has been robbed Of all his
books and Chinese papers the robbers have
taken advantage OF the unsettled state OF the coun-
try, and have become insupportable. The people
here think the United States will not 60 war on
account Of Texas, as they say BY granting licenses
to privateers, that the u. s. will loose more than
she can possible gain.
The news of Mr. Folks having the Presidential
election, was received here some four days ago,
via New Orleans but il did not seem TO make any
impression, the people are so engrossed with their
own immediate affairs that they have no time to
consider the difference between the election of Polk
or Clay.
Mr.. Tuquenos, formerly Minister OF Finance, was
under arrest, and was not permitted to leave Mex
leo. II would seem Efrom what the Mexicans and
the press say, that this gentleman has swinded the
Government out Of some millions Of dollars; he had
been openly called thief in the House of Con.
gress; all the negotiations made by, or with him.

was not expected for some time.
| Bad as this place is for the merchant, yet, fol

ing, and would recommend those who have a little
meney to spend, to "pack up their knapsacks and
walk" and if possible, they should sail in the rega

short passages, and what is better, in having one
Of the finest Captains ont of the port Of New York
indeed, Captain James Biscoe, Of the bark Euge
MIA, is one of the finest specimens Of sailor that
have ever met with /; and as for his kindness anG

assure you, envy those who sail with him. II tht
