Love LETTERS. contested will
case in the State of New York, it was
urged by one of the counsel that the alb
sence of all love letters between the tesla
tor and his wife during the twenty years
of their welded life was strong proof that
there was no love between them. The
counsel on the other side denied the infer
enre, and insisted that the ordinary acts oi
kindness and affection in their everyday
life was a much higher sort of evidence
than love letters. That love letters, in
truth, were not 10 he expected between
the most loving of married couples.
IMPORTANT FROM MExIco.-MeXican
letters received from Havana state that
the Allies are greatly dissatisfied with
their prospects in Mexico, and complain
that Miramon and others have deceived
them. They expected aid from strong
party, aud they find the population as one
man against them. They are convinced
that their present forces are entirely made
quate to the task Of bringing the MeX-
cans to terms. The troops at Vera Cruz
are suffering greatly from sickness, live
| hundred men out of eight thousand being
in the hospitals. Whenever they have
ventured beyond the range of their cannon
they have been shot down, if few, OF driven
back if in force. Discontinued, and viz
tually besieged they quarrel among them
selves On one occasion French regi-
lnent fought Spanish regiment until n
number were killed and wounded in each.
In consequence of this brawl it was deter
mined that the French force should imme-
diately land at Tampico, where, as preyl-
GUS advices inform us, resistance would be
made. The English were at the same
time to attack Metamoras, Mr. Corwln
writes that Doblado, who is the soul OF
the new Administration, declares that
Mexico will make successful resistance
to the invaders, but adds that he has not
learned on what territorial line of defence
she will make it. The Allies have already,
he says, differed among themselves on q
number of triaing points, such as the rela'
tive positions at Vera Cruz of their ma.
tional flags, which have been changed
,, three times, and of their signatures tc
proclamations and other public docu
ment
FoRT PIcKENs.-An officer on board o
the United States steamer Cuyler of For
; Pickens, writes that no one was killed II
' the fort during the cannonading of the Is
inst. Only one man was wounded, and ne
damage was done to the fort or surround
ing batteries. He adds;
"This heavy cannonading at the forts
will never lead to victory on either side
l and the one who has the most powder ant
shot, provided the other sidepexhausts iti
. supply, can in this way alone get the ad
, vantage. II the rebels forts are taken, il
must either be accomplished by assault q
g by starving ont the garrison. Do not be
o licve what you see in the papers abon
/ McRae and Barrancas being at on
4 mercy. / am on the spot and speak witt
, authority when say it is not true"
