How THINGS ARE DoNE-rhe Vera Cruz correspon-

1t shows how bunglingly things are done by this
administration.
The land dispatches from the War Department to
Mr. Trst were intercepted by the guerillas and put
into the hands Of Gen. Scott before left Hautusco
These were forwarded to Mexico, and il was ruInor-
ed here few days since that during the recent ne
gotiatiohs, they delivered to Minister by the
Mexican Commissioner. All this is ut least quite
possible and the strange posture Of things proves an
anomaly in MAR and diplomncy-an invading army
communicates with its own Government through
that of its enemy. The Mexican authorities at this
moment are better informed as to what is going Al
Washington than Mr. Trist or Gen. Scott.
