Apart from the intelligence contained in
letters, we learn verbally that express reach
ed Vera Cruz 4 moment before the sailing Of the
James l.. Day, with information that deputa-
ton had come down from the city Of Mexico TO
request Gen. Scott to take the capital under his
protection. This news is almost incredible; bnt
when it is nlbered that the system Of guerilla
warfare has been adopted by Mexico, and that the
banditti who engage IN this service are as CANCER
to ther couutrymen Is to the enemy.
the report gains some probability.
1t was the intention or Gen. Scott upon the
arrival Of the wagon train that TO start from
Vera Cruz, about the 9TH inst, TO cut of all con-
nection with the sea coast, rely upon the coun-
try for sustenancc and push forward for the city.
HIS general order, dated at JaIapa, 3Gth April,
int.rnates as much. But Mr.. kcnIaiI's letter OF
the 4;h Of Aprl--the very latest news-ihro"s
Doubt upon the speedy adoption Of this plan
in consequence Of the determination Of the
twelve months volunteers, in body, no. TO re-
enlist. This may retard the advance OF the army
unless indeed the reported readiness Of the city
to surrender be confirmed. II the rumor prove
true, the guerilla troops mere Inerauaers--a
band Of pirates and should be treated according
ly.
Gen. worth was gathering up all the grain he
could, and has all the bakeries at work, as II ia
anticipation of breaking off communication with
Vera Cruz.
The wounded men in Jalapa all doing
we'll and the health Of the army generally was
excellent.
We publish such of SIR Kendali's letters as
came to hand, promising that several important
communications have been delayed or lost Oh
the road between Jalapa aud Vera Cruz:
JALArA, MEXICO, April -, 1877.
Atl2 o'clock to-day--the news, although IN
tercs,inp, can be condensed into ii few words
Santa Anna is no doubt at Oezaba with a small
but disappointed force, and it is reported mat
Gen. Leon, with body of fresh troops, is on his
way to Join hun from Oaiaca. "Old SANITY as
the volunteers call hun, has written to Mexico for
money and reinforcement but has been relnseu'

believing that the 'til!tG i!ii'toi4' NV go

were doing nothing.
The greater portion of oar wounded have been
/ brought here ana doing we'll; there arc also
large number Of wounded MeNlcans scattered
about the city. The reported loss OF the latter
at Cerro CorLo is .50D-it was certainty I'M
