ligence from Vera Cruz. The Ewing

The news oi Gen. Taylor's great vic.
tory was received on the morning OF the
10Th, and, Of course, caused great re-
Jolcing in our army--mOre especially a'
unfavorable rumors from the same quar-

Gus.

tion Of the heavy artillery intended for
the attack had been landed previous to
the sailing of the Ewing.

Many of the citizens of Vera Cruz,
seeing the inevitable reduction OF the
place, are in favor of an early cnpu-
lation. The military, however, violent
" oppose any movement Of that kind ;
and it is reported by the foreign residents
that several citizens have been shot for
proposing a surrender, although few
doubt that our troops will carry the place
in a short time.
Col. Harney's Dragons arrived at
Vera Cruz on the 10th inst, ., after hav-
