Count CAvOuR AT A MASKED BALL.-A let
ter from Milan, dated the 10Th ult., says: As
soon as the entrance of Cavour in the box at
the Scala, the night before last, was remarked,
"A general cheering and waving of bandker-
chiefs and hats followed. All other poor NOR
tails Immediately lost their attraction, and the
only idea in the heads Of dominoes, Pieyettes
and detardenrs seemed to be TO approach the
happy prime minister who had set down in
front of the box. The difficulty was only
how. One mask, bolder than her com pa Mons,
began 10 deoeey the great man from one Of the
boxes just above the one in which he was seat
ed. Having attracted his attention, and find
ing encouragement on the part of Oavour, the
embraced him there, amid the fran tic applause
of the public. Scarcely had the other female
masks perceived the success OF their bold com.
panion, when u regular hegira took place, eve
ry one being anxious for the same honor. 1t
gave one almost wish To be prime minister
for the time, for there was NO end to the hug.
ging and kissing OF the happy little man."

MEXICAN NEws.-The New Orleans papers
contain some Mexican news furnished them
by Lieutenant Carter, of the sloop- Of war Sa-
vannah, who left Vera Cruz on the sd inst
The Picayune says:
Gen. Miramon made his first appearance
before Vera Cruz on the 29th. He is accom-.
panied by some 5000 men, and a numerous
train Of artillery. lie came down himself by
the National Road, though it is believed the
trains, artillery, ammuMiion, stores, &c, came
down by the other road He encamped on the
hills, near the old Powder House, between
Medelin and Vera Cruz and about four miles
from the latter city. His headquarters were
at the village OF Medelin, some five miles dis
tant. Up to the Sd, when Lieut.. Garter left
no attack had been made upon the city, nor
had there been any step taken towards plant.
ing battery. The General and his suite how
ever, had made their appearance several times
on the sand hills above the city, apparently to
survey it. The troops, like the rest, seem to
have come by both roads. those from .Talapa
under the command of Gen. Robles; those
from Cordova, under the command of Gen
Negrete. The greater part had made q june
tiOn at the camp between Vera Cruz and Me.
delin. A portion of the Jalapa division how
ever, had been detached to Antigua. another
portion to Vergara, and still smaller detach-
ments had been stationed at various points on
the roads leading into the in terror.
In the city OF Vera Cruz, long before declar-
ed in a state of seige, martial law had been
proclaimed. The garrison slept nightly upon
their arms in the public plaza. The people
men, women and children-had fled in every
direction, to Medelin, to Tlacatalpan, Tuspan,
and all along the coast in the interior, whith-
ersoever each family thought best Only the
soldiery, and those who wished to take part in
the defence OF the city, were left. They num-
bered some 5000 to 600 men, and were all in
the best Of spirits The city was well supplied
