Huyuup.

By the arrival here yesterday OF the brig Adams Gray,
Captain Collins, from Havana the 18th inst, we have
received files OF papers from that city up to the above
date.
Vera Cruz, on the 18th inst There extracts
from private letters published in the Daro de la Marine,
which announce that Santa Anna had taken post at En-
Zero, eight leagues from Puente Naciona and eighteen
from Vera Cruz, where he intended to dispute the adj
of the American army He had strongly fortified
Ceno Gordo, mountain pass, where he was organizing
the principal resistance Santa Anna had with HIM 200
men, General La Vega, 1900.
PEAcE.It believed by some at Vera Cruz, that at
Jaapa, in its vicinity, treaty OF peace would be ne
gotated between the bellgerents although others i'm
agned it impossible, alleging that the Americans de-
manded more than the Mexicans could concede
RoADs-Tt appears that there are two roads leading
from Vera Cruz to Jaapa, each Offering points OF omld
able resistance advancing foe by Orizaba the
other BY Puente Nacona Encerro &c. The opposing
forces are concentrating on the latter
vague rumor, which not generally credited, had
obtained currency among the Meycans that there had been
pronuacidBento in favor of the Americans at Jalala
Puebla.
EcuADoR.-The editor of the Diaro de la Marina states
that he has seen circular directed by the government OF
Ecuador all its consus and consular agents IN foreign
countries, dated Quito the 9th of February in which
they are informed that intelligence had been received Of
the entire failure of Gen Foress expedition to invade
the country In compliance, therefore, with the 9th ar
Gle OF another circular, dated the oath of December which
(crcuar) promulgated certain which had been
adopted of the realization OF Floress PROJECT OF
invasion, their operation would be forthwith suspended
The measures alluded to exceedingly onerous to
foreigners, and great drawback to commerce.
EARTHquAKE--The Redactor of Cuba, of the 18th in
slant, says that the 3st ultlmo there was slight
shock of an earthquake felt there, at about O'Clock in
the evening, preceded, it always happens by deep
and prolonged peal of thunder

with all the cheers which these wings have given for
the southwest if Fulton had not awaited himself of the
division between McMulen and Goodson, and taken the
field at the 18th hour against the two democrats If Full
ton has succeeded, therefore, he deserves anything but
credit for his victory. He has slipped in by an adroit
manpuvre, and by of the minority of the district
In the second place. it is not yet certain that he has
ceeded at all In the above table of votes there
to believe that the votes of Carroll and Grayson counties
inaccuraely stated letter is published in the last
Enquirer from Carroll Courthouse and written on the
24th of April, which states that Col McMuens majority
in these two counties, both of his competitors 1873,
and there is doubt of his election. This report,
which is believed to be correct, gives McNlulen IS
more votes than the table from the Richmond wing, and
of course Fultons majority would be only above Nc
Mullens alone, without taking note OF the vote for
Goodson But ii is probable that there are other mis-
takes in this table, which may destroy Futons apparent
majority of g. We shall not therefore, abandon the con-
test until we see the official returns from the district
In fact, the last Richmond Enquirer says;
The thirteenth district is still in doubt We heard that
letters from Abingdon received in Richmond on Sat
urday, claiming the election of Fulton wing, by70

vote will be here Saturday, when the sherts meet to
compare the polls and will publish it in our paper.
We have ne yer recorded democratic defeat with more
modification than the above, especially the democrats

active the democrats supine and inactive Could
thew have been induced out to the polls, and all
those who the polls have voted the district would
have been saved all is lost and the wing triumph is

ment for two companies of volunteers. We trust
the department may allow Pennsylvania to put at least
another battalion in the field 1t would be Just as easy to
raise and we think troops would prefer going IN
battalion thus preserving their distinctive character as
Pennsylvania volunteers To furnish a regiment, we
think, would be still more acceptable.
