One day later from vera Cruz
The steamship Palmetto, Capt Smith, arrived last night
from Vera Cruz by way of Tampico and Brazos Santa
60. She left Vera Cruz the 9th, Tampco the 10TH
and the BrazoS on the 18th.
by this arrival we have letters and papers from Vera
by the verbal report of the officers of the Palmetto there
had been no arrival from the army of Gen. Scott since
the night of the LIST inst We are, therefore, confirmed
In our opinion that the story brought here by one
on the Galveston, about courier from Mexico with mo
can learn nothing whatever from the army Of the capt.

and three 'thars shot n b n,rt These ,ver. The re-
nor,s in Tamn;co bn onr informant does not place i'm
plicit confidence in them He has little expectation thai
Col De Russy's expedition will prove of any avail in
procuring the release of the other prisoners He thinks
certainly will fall il the intention be to the
by force The movement of the colonel will inevitably
be reported to Gen Garay in advance; and he does not
feel himself strong enough to receive attack, he
very readily send off the prisoners further into the nte
ror.
The fate OF these men greatly to be deplored, and
we cannot but think there has been remssness the part
Of Gen. Scott in not obtaining their release. With
number of Mexican officers in our power would have
brought that government to of its obligations to
our prisoners, by hanging up of their to the
first tree
GLEANINGs FROM MEXICAN pAPERs-We passed some
hours Yesterday in examining file of Mexican papers
labor almost frutess so far as we aimed to derive from
materials for our own columns of stirring Interests but
we CLEANED from them a variety of miscellaneous matter
which we proceed TO Law before our readers at the risk of
