THE MARCH FROM VERA CRUZ
TO THE CITY OF MEXICO.
The New York Commercial publishes
the following sketch ofthe Mexican cities
on the route lrom Vera Cruz to tlte city of
Mexico, which will be read with inter est 3
Vans Cnuz —Tlte ctty of Vera Cruz
is walled around, with a fort at each ex
tremity o! the water front; the walls on
the land side are looplioled lor muskctry.
Parapet guns have been recently mounted
on the walls. 'I he city walls are very
thick. of solid rock; the walls at the hou
us are usually 23 feet thick. and the roofs
are flat. Each house has a sist‘ern or sta
terns of rain water. The city-is ivell pa
ved. '
Faust Vans Cnuz To sztoo —About
ten miles from Vera Cruz is a stream 200
yards tt'ide. crossed at a ferry in scows, orl
by swimming horses over. The next
stream. about 30 miles from Vera Cruz. is
lordable, and is also spanned by a woodenl
bridge called Puenta tlel Rey (the King's?
bridge.) and also the national britlge.—‘
Near it on the right is an eminence of a
bout 60 feet, on which is a Fort completely
commanding the approach and bridge.
Between these bridges and Jalapa the
road— passes near several heights, lrum
which the natives can annoy invaders on
the road. ,
(‘t'nr or James —-This city stands on
‘a very clevntt-d ground, yet for many miles
‘ the n"ccnt is quite gradual. From the
.ctty Vera Cruz is visible, as is also the sea,
190 miles tlistant. The city itself is upon
a high hill—highest in the centre. so that
,the streets incline considerably; so much
so that no wheeled vehicle can pass along
any at thcm except the main street or road,
which has a considerable rise and dscent.
The city is surrounded by a wall. and has
a strongly built Church near the Western
gate, tshich could be converted into a cit
adel. The streets are paved. The hou
ses, as in other Mexican towns, are 0!
stone. with flat roofs and iron barred win»
(lows. Opposite the city. on the tell of the
road. is a hill from which the road might
be annoyed. and shells thrown into the
town. For the distance of six or seven
miles before reaching the town the roatl is
a handsome and substantial structure ol
chequered pavement, and must have been
cerv costly. .
Panora -—At the base of a high mount.
bearing the same name. some distance
from the road on the left. is a cluster of
houses, with a church called Pet-ole.
CASTLE 0F Panama—Opposite. on the
right ot the road, and commanding it in
evtvry direction. stands the Castle. It is
upon a flat, sandy plain, strongly built of
stone and encircled byia deep dry losse
or ditch. The main entrance is by gotng
over a clievauzdefrize by a stile, descend
ing some twenty-live or thirty alone steps
to the bottom of the loser: and crossing it
to the gates, which are on a level with the
bottom. ‘ '
_ Ct" or Pours—This city is walled
and lortified. It is built of stone antl the
streets are well paven'. Contains about
100,000 inhabitants. Here water is abun
dant. but from the national bridge to this
city no water can be obtained—the na
tives substituting pulquo as a beierage.
From .lalapa to Puiebla there are occa
sional heights near the road, which, it lor
tified. might annoy invaders. In [act from
Vera Cruz to Puebla this is the case—the
travel being alternately &er broad and
unobstructed roads and narrow passes,
commanded by‘ heights. The road passes
through Puebla. The Pueblanos have a
peculiar character, they are cunning atid
courageous, and the most expert rubbers
and_assassina throughout Mexico, where
there is no lack ofsuch. It an offender is
brought before an ajca‘lde. or any where
else. and is know; or ascertained to be a
Pueblane. his condemnation is sure. Car
doom—A small -wall€d and garrisoned
town. through which the road passes.—
Beyond'l’uebla the road is good till it
reaches the mountains of Cordova. about
midway between the former and tho crty
0! Mexico. «here the ascent is very rug
ged and steep, though without del‘tles.-
Near the road, at the tool of this moun
tain passes the Pio ‘lv‘rio. or cold river,
which has its risein thenetghboring moun
tain ol Popocspatopetl, 17.000 leet above
the level of the sea. A work .on some or
the heights of l’opocatapetl would com
mand the road. _ .~
After leaving the mountain at Cordova
tliuoarl is good and unobstructed, with
plenty of water, to the city at Mexico.—
For several miles before reaching that city
the road is delightul. passing between par
allel canals" and rows of Lombardy pup
lars.- , . "v ,
- Tue: Lane/oz Tswana—This latte
commences on ‘.the right oltheroad. near
the city, into which its waters are carried
by. a canal. the latter servlog'also to drain
the gutters, &c.. ~into theistic.» The so
called lslte is 'a large, hing,- and veryir;

depth of water varies with the season ; in
the rainy months the basin is filled. and
then it assumes the appearance 0! a large
lake. Being the receptacle ol all the
drainage of the city, it is very filthy. The
canal from the city passes through it, led
by its waters. five or six miles in a south
east direction to thelamall fort of Chalco,
at the extreme margin ol the basin in that
direction; This canal is used for trans
porting produce into the city. and for plea
sure excursions in gondolae. &c.
CITY or Mnxrco.—l.ike all other Mex
ican cities this has walls and houses built
ol stone with flat roofs, &c. It is well
paved. a gutter lour feet wide passes thro’
the centre oleach street. cof'ercd by broad
flag-stones. removable at pleasure. All
the gutters are drained into the canal or
lake. The city has many large aml strong
Churches. and other great buildings, eaai
ly converted into fortresses. ll its walls
were repaired aml mounted with cannon.
and well garrisonetl, it would make a for.
midahle resistance to besiegers.
Duting the festival days. which are very
numerous, the hacienda! {or twenty or
thirty mileaground send into the city not
less than 10,000 mounted peasantry ol'the
better class, most eXpert horsemen. They
are courageous and skillul in the use of
the lance, lasso and mechcte, which is a 3
large and heavy koile. Nothing more 1
would be nrcereary than {or the padres to
go lorth into the ~lreets of the principal;
cuties. particularly Puebla and Mexico. el
evate their crossea, and appeal to the big-'
olry of the population. to rally an immcnne‘
force ol hold, active and desperate men,
who would make firrcc resistance to an
invasion. And if invaders should force
their way in. assassination by the hands nl
so many expert murderers would soon
make learlol toroads on theii numbers.

New York Sun. in the orrell nl two men

who were on shore while the vessel mm at

and while proceeding through :he streets
to go on board. were taken to prison.—
Lieut. Davis, of the Columbus. was on

Belore he got up, they were taken into the

sword, in evidence of his authority as an
officer of the United States, and deman
ded their release.
The guards then beckoned to him to

the Minister. inlorming them that the Co.

city in two hours. if Lieut. Davis and the
men were not released within that lime.-
The Lieutenant was promptly released.
but the men were detained under the plea
that being tound intoxicated in the streets,
