CAsTLEoF SAN JUAN DE ULLoA.

The first object that strikes the eye, in
approaching Vera Cruz by water, Is the cas-
tie of San Juan de Ulloa, with the sphlres
and domes of the churches peerlng up IN
that distance behind it. 1t stands alone up
on small rocky Island, on one side of the
main entrance TO the harbor, and only about
half mile from the wall OF the city, aud
consequently has complete command of the
port. The entrance on the other side, is so
barred with broken reefs and lodges, that ii
can only be used by small craft in favorable
weather.
The castle is circular and strongly built,
a nd heavily mounted. Its principle strength
however, is in its position inaccessible ex-
cept by water, and its guns pointing every
way, leaving no side open 10 the attack Of an
enemy.
The form Of the city of Vera cruz is semi
circular, fronting The sea. 1t is situated on
an arid plan, surrounded by sand hills, and
is badly supplied with water. The chief re-
lance being upon rain collected in cisterns,
which are often SO poorly constructed as 10
answer but very little purpose. The chief
resource Of the lower classes, is The wafer OF
a ditch, so impure as frequently 10 occaslo n
disease. An attempt was made, more than a
century ago, 10 remedy this evil, by the con-
struclion of a stone aqueducl from the river
Zamapa; but, unfortunately, after very
large sum had been expended on the work,
il was Discovered that the engineer who con-
structed it had made a fatal mistake in not
assertaining the true level, and the work was
abandoned in espair.-NoRMAN's RAMBLEs.

they were compelled to abandon nine field

In this document he traces the successive ad.

the camp opposite Matamoras. This step he
declares TO be an overt act of war, on the part
OF the United States, and he has been under
the necessity of giving orders the General
commanding the army of the North, TO strike
blow Tor blow, and TO visit on the American
army those hostiities which the latter was the
first 10 commence. He further states that the
Mexican General, according to the esta blished
rules IN such cases first summoned General
Taylor to retire to the lett bank OF the river
Nueces. but the in JUNCTION was entirely disre-
garded. The President then appeals to the ma
tons who have commercial relations with Mex
