A letter dated Mexico July H. to the New Orleans Bee
says
In my las. o;ier entioned to you the death of Madame
Sonag in the midst of her triumps Yesterday o'clock
we inferred the tenor, Pozzoni who died after fort
nights illness of the disease Pozzoni expired
Tuesday morning few minutes before his death he
from his bed sat down in chair and breathed his
last almost nsantaneOusly, An hour after Count Ross
left the capital for Vera Cruz where he will depart for New
Orleans on board the Orizaba
The rapid death of Sontag and Pozzoni within short
time and from disease presenting identical symptoms
has given rise in Mexico to host of which you
will allow to suppress in this correspondence The
friends of the latter have made application for autopsy
of his remains do not know whether the request will be
granted.
Last week accompanied TO the grave the corpse of
young Barea, the chorus master of Of the operate
companies, He was excellent musician, good pianist
aud promising artist
Almost every member of the Italian opera companies
has been sick The directory of both ruined by their
enterprise. / have known Mexico sad and DESC
late as at this moment The cholera typhus, and dyscn
terry raging in city, and the rains which would
the filth and impurities accumulated in our streets
do not make their appearance
The letter also says in regard the mored death
of the nsurgent leader
The Of the death of Alvarez has probably been
desgnedly fabricated with view OF discouragng the in
surgens of Michoacan This is the inference drawn by
every intelligent and impartial in the capital The
lack of official information respecting the situation of the
country often gives origin incorrect reports Thus for
example story lately circulated that the insurgents
OF Mchoacan had taken possession of Morea. This is
not true but it may occur AT any time 1t likewise
reported that Tehuantec and the envrons of Oaaca had
pronounced do not believe word of IT, Finally it
asserted yesterday that Matamoros had joined the
oluonsts-a piece of which decidedly wants con
maion Nevertheless all this intelligence however
biguous it may be, is ominous OF evil
We cut the following from the columns of the Delta:
The Trait Union of the 2lst June is in full mourning
for the death of Sontag and gives long description of her
funeral and the ceremonies attending the ST. Borte-
sni and Mad Florentn had been engaged at the Santa
Anna Theatre These two arses also claimed by the
managers of the Oricne Theatre the ground of prior
engagement and so there is quite pretty little newspa-
per being waged in regard to priority of contract be-
tween the two theatres Sonag being dead each theatre
is desirous of securing the next best talent in the
country.
The Picayune OF the 9th has the following paragraph
in relation to Count Rossi
