Of both these rivers is strip Of good land extend
ing is or 90 miles each way The rest is a worth
less, barren tract. Maiamoras is healthy the yellow

vessels Of very light draft Of water can 90 up to
Matamoros. Above, il is navigaied by scows for
100 miles The distance from Matamoros to the
Gulf is 26 miles, and to Point Isabel something
more. The Point is poor place to land merchan-
disc, as a vessels cannot come within mile Of the
shore. The distance 10 the city Of Mexico is from
900 to 1000 miles. A small mail is transported
the whole distance horseback, at the rate Of go
miles day, and occupies sixteen days. From Vera
Cruz 10 the City of Mexico is 400 miles, over an
excellent Macadamzed road, which was built by
the Spanish Government long ago, and is now in
good repair. Besides this, there are no made roads
in Mexico, except in the immediate neighborhood
Of the large towns. Wagons, and even coaches,
pass from Matamoros to Mexico over a travelled road
passing through all varieties Of country aud with
great labor. The fortress Of D'Ulloa, which de-
tends Vera Cruz, has always been counted as i'm
pregnable though the French took il few years
ago, in consequence Of an explosion which occur.

many defes and woods, must cross all the streams

Republic,) and must, in addition to their military
preparations carry their provisions, and, portion
ofthe way, their water too-for there are districts
where for 60 miles, no water is to be obtained
From New Orleans to Point Isabel is 500 miles
