NEW YORK, Jan. l4th.-Advices from Havana
are to the 9TH inst
On the 2Sth ut. Gen. Prime, after a most en-
thusastic reception by the Havanese, left for
Vera Cruz to take command of the expedition
there. He accompanied by portion of the
French Contingent.
Several of the English vessels had also been at
Havana but had not gone to Mexico.
The first news from Vera Cruz had been re
ceived by "A steamer which left there the 25th.
Accounts brought down from the interior by Sir
Charles Wyke, the English Minister, the Mexi-
cans are making immense preparations to oppose
the progress of the allies into the interior.
Juarez had issued temperate proclamation
calling on all parties to unite to repe the ipva-
sion, and his call had been almost universally re
sponded to.
1t was believed over 900 men would be in
the field with 100 pieces Of artillery.
Uragua was preparing TO dispute the passes
above Vera Cruz with about 90 900 men.
Tampico, it Is understood, will not be surren
dered without struggle, for which the place is
well prepared.
1t is announced that on the 2oth ult. an Eng
lish steamer sailed from that port for Matamoras
under very suspicious circumstances.
