Another Valuable EnQravlnQ.

ing that we have just received from our
special draughtsman in the navy. This engrav-
ing is one Of the most interesting and valuable

view of the operations against Vera Cruz by both
the army and navy.
On land it shows General Twigg's position,
General Pattersons position, the position of the
navy and mortar batteries, the position of Gene
raj Worth's division, General SCOTS head quar-
tiers, the magazine and American camp, and the
point of Decentralization of the American troops
On the water it gives the position of S. Juan de
Ulta, the position of the Mosquito Fleet, under
command Of Capt. Tattnall, when it attacked the
city; the place where the Somers was lost in
December, 1916; the place where the prize
schooner Union was lost in January last and
the place where the u S. steamer Hunter was
lost, on the 2lst March, l847 We repeat that

EMIoRATIoN.- There is an impression enter
tanned by emigrants inlCanada, the United States,
and also by persons in England and Ireland, who
are DESTROYS of coming to America, that the Br-
fish government had determined upon adopting
a system, on an extended scale, of providing free
passages to all who wish to leave the mother
country and seek their fortunes in the new
world. If such impression be not removed, it
will likely interfere much with the system of
private emigration, which promises to be so great
this year
The following is an extract from despatch on
this subject from Earl Grey to the EaJ of Elgin,
written on the 29h Jan. last:-
II is not proposed by her Maestys government to at
tempt to give Increased activity to the flow of emigration
North america by undertaking to provide for emil
grants the of conveyance either gratuitousy OF
at than that at which they obtain 1t for
themselves and that q contrary expecta-
ton has been very generally entertained both in this
country and the colonies and that emigration mt the
public cost has been recommended as Of the most
eectua that could be made use OF for the relief
Of the distress of Ireland think 1t will be convenient
that should shortly state to your orshp some OF the
grounds upon which the determination come to by her
Majesty's government is founded
Ii is unnecessary for to give the reasons
which influenced the British government to
arrive at this conclusion. All that is needed is
to state sufficient TO remove the impression that
they had determined upon different one.
