The reply of,he corporation is given: on on
Spanish side of the Sun. The members
are very indignant at what thew, consider
the harsh language Of the General. They
make no difficulty about the provisions;
these could have been had unreasonable
rates without any threat. They deplore.
their unfortunate position, being defence-
less. This, they say. should have pros
tected them from insult. Gen. .Pierceis

The Boletin adds: "In said correspoD; :
dence it is stated that great .discord exists
between the volunreefs and regulars the

-Four American deserlers arrived at
Jalapa, on the 30ih ull.. three of whom
wore from Pueba and one from Gen.
Pierce's train. The Boletin says that
those from Plebla report that the desertion4
was very great from the ranks of Ne
American army and that seveuly:.tMees
deser,ers were advertised, in one day, at.
PuebIa. The one from Gen, Pierce's!

sick follow him. We don't believe zoce-
word Of this. 4st. .,A IA
The Bolelin further says that ihedlS,,
ducemeuts held out TO Americans TO deserts
are NOT enough; that if the government;
would promise them money or any olheri
rewards, Scolt's army would be destroyed;
1t counsels the Governors o. States, f0a
to take measures to foment and encourages
desertion.

The Bole,i, Of The Both uli. says its
paper of the 9Th was so far from giving
offence to The Americans that il was bought
by many officers and soldiers. The Bole-s
tin expresses its surprise that the Amefls
cans had not rebuked its freedom with
them, as Santa Anna would have done;
with The press of the capital. Ss.S
Another courier from Jalapa arrived att
Vera Cruz on the 7th inst, and by this We.
