LATER FROM, VERA CRUZ.

The schr. Mississippi arrived from Vera
Cruz on Sunday, having sailed thence on
the evening ofihe 2lst inst. Atthat limo
the Fashion had not arrived there, though
constantly expected. She left here The
evening Of the l7lh.
The most important news by this arri.
val concerns the movements of Gen. Scott.
There had been various rumors on the
subject in Vera Cruz. many of which our
correspondent knew TO be unlounded, but
he writes US on the afternoon Of Saturday,
the 2lsl instant, on what he considers 'the
hest authority" that the van guard of
Gen. SCOTS army was at Ayotla on Fri
day, the 18Th. and up TO that date had not
fired a gun. This news reached Vera
Cruz by gentleman who left Ayolla on
the l3lh, coming down by.way Of Orizaba.
Ayotla is but twenty one miles from the
city Of Mexico. being twenty miles beyond
the pass of Rio Frio. We now turn for a
moment 10 other subjects of great interest.
The expedition which left Vera Cruz
about The 18th insl. to reinforce Major Lal-
Tvs command was composed of Captain
Wells company ofthe 18th infantry, Csp.
I Hailes company of the 18th infantry and
Capt. Fairchild's company ofLouisana
Rangers, all under command of Captain
Wells, They returned to Vera Cruz on
tho l7lh, after having proceeded as far as
National Bridge, where they expected to
over,ake Major Lally's command. Major
Lally, however had gone on, and. by sub
senuent advices at Vera Cruz it is known
that he had carried up his lrainin safety
beyond .IalaPa.
The command of .Capt.tlWells were
compelled to fghrlheir yiolhe Bridge;
and they made the altemptalo pass il, bul

The Piaon Pass, near the City Of Mer-
ico.-We CLEAN the following description
of the Pinon Pass from the New York Sun.
Ii is only sixteen miles from the Capital,
and it is probable that if Scott met with any
resistance at all from Santa Anna, it was
there offered him:
The Pinon pass is on lhe principal road
from Mexico TO Puebla, sixteen miles from
Mexico and sixty nine miles from Puehla.
II is narrow gorge between Two volcanic
mountains, about sixty rods wide, and the
Notifications, which are built in The form
Of half circle from mountain 10 mountain
about so rods in leglh. The foriiications
are composed of stone and earth of great,
strength, and are capable ofmounting forty
-heavycannon. Toward Puebla, the for
tificalionshaye aperfectcannon shotrange

ing The senlire road. Near .lbeSs mo pun, in
TO 1hesfIgffr going 1owarus1 1,,robfHur rIsa-ntgn
eminence, Santa Annaz has erected an
Observatory, safe from; cannon shot, from
which be intends watching the expected
battle. In case Of defeat he has secured
bis retreat 10 the Capitol by a private
path. A.ba,tery Of cannon has also been
placed on hill TO the right Of the road
beyond the Pass towards Puebla. Some
delences are also erected on The two noun.
tains which form the Pass. The spot is
admirably situated to defend The Capitol

would be impossible. Santa Annals
Observatory is nearly thirty feet higher
than the surrounding hills. Upwards of
10000 men were at work on the foriltica-
tons when our courier left. THERE'S but
one other road at all practicable, BY which
The American force could advance, the
.Anuuncia,ion' 10 the South Of the Puebla
road, and this is defended by still more
difficult passes. There is a road still
South of this, but it is mere mule path.
The probabilityis that Gen. Scull's delay
has forced another bloody bal,e upon our
troops, which would have been avoided
had he marched directly from Cerro Gordo
upon the Capitol. Ere this, the battle has
been probably (nuglI, and we wait anx.

Mysterious.-We have received by the
steamship Fanny, letter from our Vera
Cruz correspondent, dated the 18th inst,
in which he says that au extraordinary ex.
press was despatched that morning at
4 o'clock by the English consul TO oyertake
Gen. Scott. Our correspondent presumes
that something very important must have
been despatched, for the regular English
courier, The best express man in the world.
was expecting to 60 up the following day
upon The arrival, then expected, of The
English steamer. Conjecture was busy
as to The nature of the despatch. One can
hardly avoid connecting the purpose Of the
messenger with the anticipated arrival OF
Paroles. Having just learned that the
army OF Gen. Scott had comenced its
march, il might have been the design of
The British consul to delay itby some
means 10 give time 10 Paroles to 90 up.
This would show more intimate connec-
lion of the English government with the
returns of Paredes than we have a right
to charge upon grounds at all equivocal.
But what could have been the necessity
for despaiching special courier on the
18th (of which we have moi doubt) when
The regular courier wds 10 leave the follow
ing day Every thing indicating British
completely with The return of Paredes
should be investisaled.-E. o. Picayune,

Mr. FRIENDS: Our intelligence from
The capital reaches TO the beginning Of the
present month, ofwhichFthey following is a
summary: v 4, IS
:. The Council of Generals convoked by
Santa Anna, were of opinion that Gen.
Scott should be attacked in his positions !;
but Santa Anna said atitwould be better
to despatch division, composed of ten
thousand men, 10 take post between Pc
ro,e and Puebla, for the purpose of inter
cepting the trains and conveys that were
marching toward the latter place, and bus
10 get possession oflhe resources whict
the Americans expected; and further, he
advised that ano,hertS division Of equal
strength (len thousand men) ~ take up a
position between Puebla and the city OF
Mexico, the remainder Of their forces to
romain aud cover the capital. Santa
Auna's plan was adopted. At;ibe present
moment (the beginning ofAOgusf) there is
in the citytofMexico force OBS 900 men,
and as that under General Scoltsdoes mol
exceed 10, 900, Of whom a certain number
are invaids, through ill-healif, it's i'm
probable from The rumors which are in
circulation, that The latter illsquit Pue-
bla until he has received considerable rein
