We have been favoured, says the Wash
ington Journal, with letter received i'll this
city, from gentleman in Vera Cruz, dated
August oath. We learn from the letter, that
at Vera Cruz it is thought probable that an
attempt will be made to release Cuba and
Porto Rico from the Government of Spain,
'by the establishment of government foun-
ded on liberal principles. and guaranteed by
Columbia, Mexico, and the other free Spanish
American States. Security in the slave pro-
perty will be the first consideration" Com
Porter has entered upon the full discharge
ofhs official dnties.as "Commanier-in-ch chief
OF the department and Squadron" The Ma
val Administration of Mexico is quite differ
ent from ours: it is divided into two depart
ments, East and West, or rather Atlantic
and Pacific.


The duties of Com. Porter are of mix
ed character. somewhat like that of Secreta-
ry Of the Navy and Commander of the Squad
ron. There are juntas to attend to duties
similar to those of our Navy Commissioners
at which he presides. He has also the i'm
mediate suberintendence of Navy Yards and
the regulation of the ports in the Gulf; the
harbour masters being officers of the Navy
and also under his command.


The Condtrador General is an officer tha
answers. in some respects, to the Fourth Au
ditor of the Treasury, and stands at the heat
ofthe pursers department, who are all callet
Contractors: he is also in the character of Ma
Wy Agent, and is member of the Economi
cal Junta, or what may be styled Navy Com


missioners. This affords sort of outin
OF the Mexican Naval establishment.
