10 Mr.. nimmond, American collector at
Vera Cruz, 10 order to facilitate its des

5000 guns, aud good share Of these are
useless. General Scott has been expect
ted every day for the two months, until
the MeXicans beg 10 to think he never will
come. They report one day that lie has
no troops-another, that he was coward
and again, that lie is spending the money
Of the United Sla'es in provisioning his
army at the highest price for everything,
and that he shares the profits with the
Mexican drovers and others, who have a
good understanding with him. ! know
that lie is subj C ed to enormous expenses,
which won d have been avoided had he
reached this city six weeks ago. Cattle
which sold readily when the first came to
Puebla for 8 | head, now bring S2l, and
everything else is in proportion. The
peace party here have lost all faith and
