Mr. Wilkinson, being in advance, entered house which
had, from all appearance, been abandoned with precp

the following pass:

infantry The train escorted by about 1000 men
The following officers enumerated by the Sun as
commanding them; Captains Clarke, Morris, Alvord
Jones' Cantwe Waddell, Wheeden. Wilkins, Doyle
Sears and Creanor of the artillery Some accounts set
down the number of troops in this train at from 500 to
| 1900; correspondent says 900 Verbal re-
ports say that Col. Wilson taken suddenly ill and
could proceed and that the command devolved upon
another officer whose name is not recolected Our let
tiers say nothing of this.
On the 4th inst, two cut-throas by supposed to
be guerias, attacked sergeant OF the 18th infantry,
Both Mexicans well armed, while the sergeant had
only his sword. He used it TO good purpose, driving
off the Mexcans, but receiving several slight wounds
himself detachment of the Georgia cavalry was sent
out under Capt Loyel, TO endeavor to overhaul the
two Mexicans but the pursuit was vain.
small lot of pack mules arrived at Vera Cruz on the
9th instant from the interior. The owners would not
disclose how they passed the gueras but it is shrewdy
suspected that they paid four dollars head Tor leave TO
mules arrived from Codova, laden with sugar and Mex
lean brandy No doubt is entertained that Jarauta
of the guerilla chiefs have adopted the plan OF
granting permits in order to raise the wind Hopes
entertained that in this way trade will be carried
between Vera Cruz and the interior;
Nothing later has been received by this arrival from
the army at Pueba. Various rumOrs had reached Vera
Cruz purporng to be from Mexico. One OF these is to
the effect that commissioners had actually been appointed
Vera Cruz who writes the 18th inst attaches import
ance to this rumor. We may recur to It.
On the ID instant mail arrived in Vera Cruz from n
it as late the 3Oth of July. This is little paper
thoroughly Mexican, published in Jaapa. From it we
learn more particulars of Gen. Pierce's march through
that town than had before been received The BOlen
says that the train which the general escorted passed by
without hatng but he with 300 Dragons entered the
city and addressed the following note to the corporation,

The reply of the corporation is given the Spanish
side of the Sun. The members very indignant at
what they consider the harsh language of the general
They make difficulty about the provisons these could
They deplore their unfortunate position, being defence
less This, they say, should have protected them from
insult. Gen Pierce is the first American officer, they
say, who has thus had occasion to find fault with them
The reply is pretty shaP upon the general but 1t is
hardly worth translatng.
We give from the Sun of Anahuac the following sum-
mary oil news made from the Boletin:
The paper says that Mexican (trator,' it sayS

kages containing letters from the officers of the army

session.
The Boetin adds: ''In said correspondence, it stated
that great dscod exists between the volunteers and regu
lars OF the American army, and that this may cause them
to fight among themselves"
That paper delighted this and takes that opportu-
nifty call the Americans highway robbers" Yankees,
&c also appears, from intercepted letters,
that General l,iow, and other American chiefs, OF
opinion that the attack the capital will not be

The Boetn that those from Pueba report that the de-
ertion very great from the ranks of the American

day Pueba. The from General Pierces train
is said to report that full OF sick follow him. We
don't believe word of this.
The Boein further says that the inducements held
out to Americans to desert enough; that if the
government would promise them money any other

the governors of States to take measures to fomen and
encourage desertOn.
The same paper says assassnations frequent in
Jalapa, well of Americans Mexicans. A small
garrison required there for the protection OF the nab
tants.
The Boetn of the goth ult says its paper of the 9th
was bought by many officers and soldiers The Boletn
expresses surprise that the Americans had not rebuked
its freedom with them, Santa Anna would have done
with the press of the capital.
Another courier from Jaapa arrived at Vera Cruz on
the 9TH instant and by this we have received the Boletn
