that has reached us.
TAMPIco, Mexico, May 8, l847.
Gentlemen: A mail was received here yestsr-
day from The city Of Mexico. have not seen
any OF The papers, but have learned from re-
liable source that The Mexicans in The interior,
since the fall OF Vera Cruz and the baule Of Ger
70 Gordo have become fully aroused as 10 their
situation. They are flying 10 arms in every d.
reclon, and arc determined 10 dispute with US
every inch OF ground. The present Government
OF Mexico is strainine every nerve 10 carry on
The war with renewed vigor; among other move
mcnls it is making, is The granting OF Captains
commission 10 any person who may raise com
pany OF twenty-five mounted men; who, besides
their regular pay, are entitled 10 all the plumber
they can take from The Americans.
II The above statements be correct and you VIII
bear in mind hat obtained them from Next
can then has the guerrilla warfare commenced in
earnest. They may annoy Us for while, bnl,
ultimately, The WHOLE OF this fine county SHALL
be ours - ours by right OF conquest.
The new cuslom-house regulations ior The
Mexican ports went into operation here on The
Isl instant. MIR. Chase, husband OF The relebral-
ed Mis-. Ann Chase, has been appointed Coec-
toI; Mai. Dashiel, Receiver OF Monies; and Cap
tain Car, Slorekeener. There is great field
open here and in other Mexican porls, now in
possession IL The Americans, for office 'seekers,
and think that President Polk has now fine
opportunity 10 rid himself Of some OF those who
hang about The While House.
Another arrest was made here few days ago,
in the Kcalde line. The Acalde and Council
men of the town OF Allamira, situated on The San
Luis Potcsi road, about tWenty-one miles from
This place. have been engaged for some time past,
in preventing traders and cattle from coming in
10 this place These facts were laid before Col.
Gales who Immediately dispatched Capt. Wyse
with detachment Of troops 10 arrest him. The
captain caught the gentleman and brought him,
with four Councilmen, 10 town, where they are
now in confinement.
II some OF the persons connected with Inc ar
nv do not return to the United States richer Than
when they lett il, then il is not because they
are not well paid-ior instance: the Comman-
danl Of This place receives in addition 10 his reg.
ular paw as Colonel, 800 per month; the Chei
Of Police, who is Major in The regular service,
800. and some dozen Of other minor officers IN
like propouion. Now, do not pretend 10 lind
aut with this, for believe they are Justly enlI-
lied 10 il and earn il, but give 10 you as IN item
Of news. In some future letter will give you
an account vi the courts of Justice, city revenue
etc.
The health OF the city is good, weather very
warm and business brisk in the QuarIer-maslers
Department. Yours, 4.
FROM VERA CRUZ.-The schr. Della,

The James l.. Day left on the 5lh inst. we nave
scarcely word of news BY this aIrival--nolning

Day. The report which is made TO US OF inc
health o. Vera Cruz is less favorable than We had
hoped TO have. There is good deal oil sickness
| there and it is increasing. Some cases oil lever
! have occurred. bu, all this was to be expected al
This season in so low latitude.
The report still prevailed when The Della lelt,
thai deputation had been sent down TO General
Scolt 10 offer him possession OF the Capital, but

ON Inc subject Than was brought BY The Day

A letter has been received in this city from The

ran learn OF lis contents is thai there is large

and substance. who are decided advocates OF
