From Vera Cruz.

The following is from a late Vera Cruz cor
pondent Of tae N. Y, Trbune:
Things here are in a deplorable state. Many
English, Tpanish and French merchants have
been obliged to close their stores because they
can make nothing. The Americans are in the
same condition, and those who came here ex-
pecting to make great fortunes have been COM
PEELED to sell their goods under the hammer
This arises from want of purchasers, for all
communication with the interior is completely
cut off. The Mexican population has gone to
Join Guerrillas, and there scarcely remains sew
en- or eight thousand Europeans, mostly Span
iards.
The garrison is composed of 500 men-but
outside the walls division of about 1000 lis
encamped, which leaves in three days, escort
ing convoy 10 wagons and seven hundred
mules. 1t is supposed this convoy will be
strongly attacked by the enemy who wait for
it at the National Bridge, and it. may be the
same thing will happen as once before, when
more than 100 wagons were reduced to So on
their arrival at Jalapa.
The Americans have behaved admirably here

but that does not prevent their being detested,
and to such degree that apprehend outbreaks
as soon as IT, force outside the walls shall have
left.
The troops which compose this division be-
Iony TO the ten new regiments. They present
a good appearance, but do not understand mill
tary manevres. As to the cavalry. when it
nuts itself to trot,most of The soldiers lose their
strrups. The battery of artillery which is
here does not correspond with the high reputa-
ton this branch of the American army enjoys.
The cannoneers hardly know how to loafs and
4th of July five of them were wounded in tIring

The uomito makes great ravages, among the
Americans particuIllly, although the Europeans
have their share of it. Among the former the
morality is about twenty day; among the lat
ter about five. But Part of these deaths
should be attributed to fever and the dysentery.
The soldiers take too little care of themselves;
they are dressed in wooden cloth, and as they
have hot had penny for two months they are
fed very badly.
The boldest chief of the Gueriillas is Jarau-
ia: he is an Arragoness Curate who has served
under Cabrera, and afterwards emgrated to
Mexico, where be was discharging the clerical
functions when the war commenced.

all Spaniards; dt first, it was composed OF some

These brave fellows press US so near, that we

Gen. Scott did not believe himself safe in
PuebIa and has left the city and encampcd in
the environs. His force is about 1000 strong,
beside 1909 under Gen. Cadwalder, who must
have formed junction with him, since last ac-
counts left him at Perote. The Guerriilas ap-
proach so near Pucbla that they are obliged to
