General Scorr must before this have en- ered the Hssss of the Montexnmas. He haa tonodess garrisoned Jalapa, which r a esty sos iss heaIthy location end she heeuilsaI eoassry which surrnansIs it. e ha will all the other towns on tha scu,e tc sha raP''at There is no yellow feves a JalMpn. The next post of importance is PsFoss, a walled city, eonlaiaing one of the Ave chief 'ossresses ot Mexico. where the State priao. ness are eonhned, end where we believe Mid shlpman kocxRs has been detained. The population oi Perote is over 10000. It h dis. IAHi rom Jalapa about fifty miles, and is nearly midway between the capisal and Vera Cruz, There is no place of any impogtnnca, after passing Pero.e, until yoa cnsne so Pu. ehla, city of 5O,O00 inhabi,anss. wisA . thiivlng populalicn. priaeipajas engaged ia manufactures ot lead, cotton goods, elass, sarthhnware, and saap--wish nuussFeas splendid eharehes-6ae Spanish houses. wilh lofty ceilings, and ornamensed walls---bread, clean ssrce's--and eathedral, the interior of which is a perfect blaze of gold aud pre- eioas stones.

The noted pyramid here is . work Of art, which, mex. to the pyramids of Egypt, approaches nearest io those Of nature in magnitude asd vassness. Its base covers upwards of fnviy- eight acres of ground, or about A times more than the largest Egyptian pysamids Cohuila is seventy miles from Msxico.
 ThE CAPITAL is walled city, bat is not supposed to be susceptible of . stubborn ds- fence. u is-a very wealthy city, and con- tains population of la0, 000--abounding ia hne buildings, costly churches, puhlia squares, and broad and regular snsess.
 Even II SANTA ANNA could collect his scattered forces, tis not io be supposed tl.al he could interrupt the psogress of our troops. With strong force af each of the walled towns on the route from Vera Cruz so the central city, and rapid movement on tho part oftieneral rASLoR upon ihs Capital, we may be sad to have Mexico bound hand and foot. The oNly question now iS, wheshaf. m any event, fhere is govsrnMsul emouxh iefs to form solid snd lasting Fsaes.
