n. VERA CRUZ, April %, 1S47.
Lieut.. O'Bannou, with Bolivar Jones
aud Sergeant Bell, of company E, came
down from Jalapa (Which is pronounced
Halapa) yesterday. running a great risk
in doing so, as great many parties have
been cut off and pIundered by those ras-
cally scoundrels lately. They were sent
down on business oflhe regiment. By them

[ learned this evening that party of
our regiment, who had been left here with
the sick, or had been sick, with about one
hundred men from different regiments,
were attacked by large party OF MexI-
cans; and had hard brush.' They sent
back TO this place for assistance. We are
all anxious to hear the result, which will
probably reach here to morrow, but not in

Jalapu, Merico,-What a delightful
place Jalapa must be. Mr.. Kendall sri.
ting to the New Orleans Picayune, says,
.'tliat as he rode iulo the town on The morn
ing Of The 20th ult., along q road fringed
on either side with The richest vegetation,
the white crest Of Orizaba piercing the
very vault of heaven, was plainly visible,
and a busy hum of admiration run along
the liue as the snow clad mountain hrsf
broke upon the view. A spectacle Of
greater nlagni6cence Or grandeur, he says
is not to he seen the wide world over.
Here were we in soft bland air, aud
with verdure and flowers Of the rarest
beauty aud fragrance all around-above
us, as it were, towering 10 the very skies,
yet in plain view, was old Orizaba, clad
in his eternal raimenl Of snow." No
wonder that the saying among the Mexi-
cans is so common, "let US see Jalapa and
die"
Remarkable Prophecy.-Mr. Poinsett
has communicated 10 DePow's CONNER
cial Review some papers on Mexico, OF
remark able merit. In The number for
May, is contained the following striking
prophecy g..
!, The Spanish minister, Count de Amanda
afier:signing thetreaty Of Paris, in 1883,
submitted 10 The King secret memoir, in

and fear, and expresses bis belief that both
France and Spain acted in opposition TO
their Interests when they espoused the
cause Of The Colonies. He regards tie
existence of the United States Of America
as highly dangerous to the Spanish Amer
ican possessions, aud on lhls subject uses
the following very remarkable language =
"This federal republic is born pigmy.
if / may be allowed so to express myself.
Fl has required Tho support Of TWO such
powerful states as France and Spain to
obtain ils independence. The day will
come when she will be giant, colossus
formidable even in these countries. She
will forget the services she has received
from the two powers, and will think only
Of her own agsraudizement. The liberty
of conscience, the facility Of establishing
new population upon immense territories,
together with the advantages Of new
government, (meaning free,) will attract
the aggriculturalists and mechanics OF all
nations, for men will ever run after for
tunei and in few years we shall see ly-
ranical existence Of this very colossus of
which / speak,"
.'The fret step Of this nation after it has
become powerful, will be to lake posses
sion of Floridas, in order to- have com.
mand of the Gulf Of Mexico, and after
having rendered difficult our commerce
with new Spain, she will aspire TO the
conquest of that vast empire, which it will
be- difficult for US to defend against for
midabIe power established on the same
continent and inils immediate neighbor
hood"
";These fears are we'll founded; they
must be realized in a few years il some
greater revolution even more fatal does
moi sooner take place in our Americas"
