PROGRESS OF THE CIVIL WAR.


From the ". o. Er. Picdpine Of Aay 1Ohl
The steamship Tennessee, Capt Forbes, which
left Vera Cruz on the 18th inst, arrived here this
morning.
We subioin letter from Vera Cruz:
VERA Cruz, May Z, 1S5S.-Before the departure
of the Tennessee this morning, endeavor to give
you a brief summary of the important events OF the
last fortnight.
The arrival of President Juarez and Cabinet,
makes of this city the provisional seat of govern
ment of the Republic; and the said arrival will tend
greatly to consolidate and encourage Puros through
out the country. Vera Cruz is now, indeed, q
stronghold, and as long the troops and people in
side the wall true to Zamora, the Governor, no
force that Zuloaga might raise could prevail against
it. True, it is said that Echeagaray, with 5000

General Cara is still bombarding Tampico, but
the U. S. steamer Fulton is keeping him under
wholesome restraint as regards neutrals. He is

From the interior all is gloomy for the conse,rd-
dores. Osollo refuses to march without money
Miramon has been horribly drubbed by Vidaurri
and poor Zuloaga is in awful tight place for want
of funds. He's been trying to sell the revenues of
the cusom-houses, but as those who might purchase
would require to be put in possession, there's an
end to all hope in that quarter. Every important
port OF the Republic is in the hands of the Consti
tutionalists
In short, the only bit of good luck the concern at
the capital has had lately is the treachcry board
the Guerrero" man-Ofwar steamer and her put
ting into Tuspam (the only port in the Gulf ac-
knowledgng Iuloaga) with lot of military stores
destined from this place for TampicO. But Zamora
is preparing number of gun-boats. and with the
'Democrats" a ten-gm steamer, Will soon make
them smell thunder.

first to welcome his arrival. lie appears to be
