The brig Josephine, Capt Robertson, from Vera
Cruz, arrived at New Orleans on the 9Th inst with
advices three dayslater. We Gull the following
Items from the New Orleans Bee, Delta, Picoyune'
Tropae, Reformey and Bulletin.

Norte is strictly blockaded by feet, as is well
known at Vera Cruz. our merchant vessels load at
the latter port and bring off their cargoes unques
toned.
Persons who left Vera Cruz in the later par, Of
last month represen, the people of that city quite
prepared for war with the L. States The military
force OF the place was daily increasing. The grand
castle Of San Juan d Uloa was in admirable order oil
defence, well mounted well provisioned, the guns
manned with French and English gunners, and the
whole force amounting 10 shout 5000 men. The
stores of sbo; and ammunition OF all kinds, though
large was still from time 10 tine added 10, every
thing betokening preparation for siege. II all
these statements be true, II would seem that The
Mexicans determined to make place al least

We find in the Diario q letter from Canales TO
Ampudis, OF which oiera few paragraphs, as pre-
cious specimens of Mexican vanity The letter is dated
the 9Th April. from MAtamoros
