Through the New Orleans Picayune we have
advices from Vera Cruz to the 20th ultimo, from
which we learn that the United States steamship
Mississippi arrived of Vera Cruz on the 18th, with
intelligence of the late victories achieved by our
army or the Rio Grande. The news, however,
was only communicated to a few Americans in the
city. The port was Immediately blockaded by the
Mississippi and Falmouth.


Orders were received by the American citizens,
from the city of Mexico, directing them to leave
Vera Cruz by the 24th instant, or retire into the
interior. 1t was expected that our Consul would
90 on board one of our vessels.


The Mexican Government the Picayune says
was making the greatest exertions, straining every
nerve to carry>on the war with the utmost vigor,
and by the most arbitrary measures had replenished
the Treasury. The Castle of San Juan de Ulua
was in perfect state of defence, and the officers in
command were confident of being able to repel an
attack.


The Mexcans were in high glee at the various
gasconadng dispatches received from the camp at
Matamoras, which spoke with the utmost enthu-
siasm of the brilliant condition of their army, and
predicted the most magnificent triumphs over the
American forces To show with what certainty
the Mexicans looked ior-victory, we give an extract
from a communication from the Commander of the
Corps of Engineers to the Minister of War, prior
to the arrival of Gen. Ampuda


Upon the arrival of Gen. Ampudia we shall


then have, after leaving sufficient force in Mata-
moras, 1900 infantry, 10 guns, and 300 cavalry
with which to cross the river. Our triumph IS


certain, and therei is no danger Of the enemys be-
ing reinforced in time to save them from destruc-
: ton Ii no disturbances break out IN
the interior, they will capitulae in less than twen-
ty days, or be entirely destroyed"
