VERA CRuz. March31, 18,7.
G en. Quitmuan's brigadle set out onl the
march for Alviarado last evening. The
place is distant somne thirty or forty miles
south, and they will probably reach it by
to-morrow night. I presume that some of
the smaller vessels of the navy, under.
Commodore Perry, will go downi to taike
part in case the Mexicans see fit to defend
it. The impression, however, is tht they
:will leave it without a struggle.
From the direction ofthe city of Me"xi.
rto we can galin no intel ligence. There
appears to be no doubt, however, thatSaii
ta Anna arrived there on fhe 20li or 21st
inst. and at once took sides with the cler
gy against Gniez Farias. Nothing farth
erbas been learned in relation to the report
that there was a large force of Mexicans,
lfnder La Vega, at or near Jalap. The
army will proceed in that direction in the
course of a few days, aid then we shall
know all about it.
The anount of spoils"of war taken by
the capture of Vera Cruz is immense. O'.
er 4000 muskets were laid down on tie
ground, and it is known that a great num
befwere left secreted in the city by mten
w11o went out in citizens clothes instead of
their uniform. The nuimber of cannon
and mortars, in the town and Caistle, is not
as yet known, but it is already asceriainedI
that there are over 300! To' this should
be added an iinmense aim ount of powder,
ball, shells, Paixan shot, &c., enough to
conquer the cotintry all the way to Aapuil
co. Quite a speculation for Uncle Sam.
Twio flags are flying from San Juan dei Ull
loa, otne belonging to the army anyd thc
* other to ihe navy.
