jALArA, July 90, Is47
To the Corporation of Jaapa;-A brigade OF the Ams
rican army, now encamped near Jalapa in want of
provisions therefore this corporation Of Jalapa

need or will take the steps to protect those
who will furnish those provisions IT, at o'clock this
evening" precisely the provisions demanded are not
warded all the members Of the corporation will be sent
w. X. VAN BoSLIN, Brigade @. M
The reply Of the corporation Is given the Spanish
size OF the Sun The members are very indignant at
Whist they consider the harsh language of the general
They make no difficulty about the provisions; these
threat They deplore their unortura position being
defenceless This they say should have protected them
they say, who has thus had occasion to find fault with
them The reply is pretty sharp upon the general,
but it is hardly worth translating.
We give from the Sun Of .4nohuac the following sum-
mary OF news made from the Bofefin -
The same paper says that Mexican, C'traitor,n it
says) was encountered by party of guerias and be-
ing suspicious he required undergo an examine
ton but having offered resistance, he killed Three
large packages containing from the officers of the
army to their friends in the United States found
in hts possession.
The Boien adds sin said correspondence 1t is stated
SHAT great kdcord exists between the volunteers and
regulars of the American army this may cause
them to tight among themselves"
That paper is delighted with this takes that OPP
portunity to call the Americans highway robbers
ankees &c 1t also says that 1t appears from inter
cspted letters that Gen. Pillow and other American
ces are OF opinion that he attack upon the capital
VIII not be successful that the commanding officers con-
slider the capital to be in very strong Of defence
as much Tor its Notifications the number of men
who will be brought in action finally that the gue
ras had completely interrupted the correspondence
between Pueba and Vera Cruz.
The letters after having been read were sent to the
government at Mexico.
Four American deserters arrived at Jalapa on the
30h ult three Of whom were from Puebla and one from
Gen. Perce's train. They were to leave Jalapa for
Coatepec The Boietn says that those from Pueba re-
port that the deserton great from the
Of the American army and that seventy deserers
were advertised in one day, at Puebla The one from
Gen Perces train is said to report that wagons full Of
sick follow him. We don't believe word Of this
The Boiefin further says that the Inducements held
out to Americans TO desert enough that IL the
government would promise them money any other re-
wards Scotts army would be destroyed II counses the
Governors Of States to take to foment and
courage desertion.
The paper says assassnations frequent in
Jslapa, well sf Americans Mexicans small gar
rson required there for the protection of the inhab
tanis.
The Boin Of the 3Oth ult says It's paper Of the 27th
far from giving offence to the Americans that 1t
bought by many officers and soldiers The Boiefin
expresses it's surprise that the Americans had not
buked its freedom with them, as Santa Anna would
have done with the press of the capital.
Another courier from Jalapa arrived at Vera Cruz
the 18th inst and by this have received the Boen
OF the LIST and Sd Of August The letters received by
this mail give later from Mexico Puebla but
some further details.
