VERA CRUz, July /, lS47.
 If have understood the char acter Of Bruno and the people of that pro- vince alright, Com. Perry has achieved more difficult and lmporian, undertaking than they seem to think. The people Of the province of Tabasco since the first landing of Cortes have ever been esteemed the bravest and most obstinate of all the Mexican race, and Gen Bruno, who commands there, is consi- dered one of the bravest and most cunning partisan leaders of the dsy. Ever day since the first expedition of Cen. Perry against that place, with force iuadrouate to the at- tempt, Bruno has been drilsmg all ,he citi- zens capable of bearing arms, and for,ifying the approaches 10 the city. These facts reach ed us here through ihe correspondence Of an English house al Tabasco. His force could not have been less than 2j00 men when the expedition landed, though my young corres7 ponden, estimates them a, 2000. Now. when you think of thousand sailors landing and marching over such county, dragging through swamps and thiekels 10 pieces of artillery, the heat oppressive beyond concep- ton, and driving before them 2500 men com manded by man like Brano-the feat re- fleets the highest credit on our navy, and but proves wha, 1 have always said, that our navy is equal to any undertaking; they wan, bet the opportunity. Com. Perry should have had command down here twelve months ago.
