been committed in Cuernavaca and Tanapec by Avarezs
soldiers In large sugar estate every Spanard was

think that Spain possesses navy enough attempt any
thing beyond blockade OF Vera Cruz and Tampico.

upon poverty. The educated sensitive clerk driven from
his books aud plunged into the deepest detection seeks s

corrupted, and he is ruined.
