At it is probable that thie tdvyn'and this pro.
vince or 8tte besring i a name will b" Ihe next
tcene of military operation! by the army of in-
vssinn, we propose to throw together a few
points of information respecting thia region of
country, hastily gathered from (Iumbold'a New
Spain.
The old Intendancy of Vera Crut lies under
the burning sun of the tropica and extend along
the Mexican Gulf front the River Bsrsderas on
the 8outh to tbj greet river of Panuco, on the
North, lis length is about 000 miles, and its
breadth inland from 75 to 80 mile. The ta
tendanciesol Otxacs, Pueb!a anil Mexico tk'tt
it on the West. Thn canfirmaliou of tlio coun
try within thia province change. stmott with
every half d ten milee, while from the tea roaat
ta its Weslern boundary the moat opposite cli
mates ate asrembled. In the e;vet of twenty.
four hours you may descend from the regions of
eternal snow on the Cordilleras of Arishtitc to
the plaios where the moat suffocating heat pre-
vsila.
The diffrrent trihst of vegetables rise above
one another by strata at yu ascend from Vert
Crux to the tab'e land of Perote. The phyfi
ognnmy of the eountry, the apect of the sky,
the form nf the plants, the figures of animalr-,
the manners of thn people and the d ffYreni
kind of cultivation change at every step of the
pmgreat of the traveller. In a few hours the
naturalist in this miraculous province can as
c'iidihu whole rcale of vegetable creation from
the he) icon in and the banana plant whose fowy
Irtves swell out into wonderful diment'on to
tlia stunted parenchyma of Ihe mineus treea
The production of this State are of the ri-
cheat order. There grows at the footaf the
Cordillera in the ever-green forests nf the Pa
pantla Nsntia and Taxtla the epidendrum Vs
nillt used to perfume chocolate and ice-cream
Near the Indian villages of Col i pa and Mieautla
ta found the beantilul convolvus jalapae whoe
tnheroua root furnishes tliejlup of medicine.
The Tab kco spice is prodaced in the forests
near the nver Bsradi'ras on the South. The
Cocoa of Arayucsn csn be produced in large
quantities. Ihe t.,uMins tobacco grown on
the declivities of the P.c d Orinbj yielded a
revenue til the crown of Spain nf near four mil
!io:ia ofdollara a year. You get the similar,
whose name is the a1r?panlla, in ihe humid
an'J umorageou ravines ot ine lorauit-ra. I n
cotton ol ihe coast it r.i.tfd for i a fineness snd
whitem-e, snd (lie tujnr eiie is ven more
fruitful than that of San Djniingo or Cuba.
Passing for tho present ihe mountains snd
py amid of the province, wa devote a few lines
to the city of Vers cm t It is beautifully end
regularly built. The district in which it i
situated was formerly Cilled Chalchinhcneean
Thi inland, on which the fortrea of San Juan
de UHoa is built, wa visited by Juan de Gris
caula in 1518. Ho gave it tho name of U us,
because he found Ihe remuina of sacrificed
men there, snd having inquired of the natives
why human sacrifices wire r fiered up on that
spot, he miftook their reply, lhat it was done
by the order of Ihe kinja of Aeolhua or Mexico
and interpreted it to mesn that the island was
called Ulna. These sacrifices took place on all
the smal' islands near Vera C'nx, snd one of
them is called to this dsy 77o tie Sarrifirin
The present city of Vers Crut wss laid out
snd built by the Viceroy C unt nf Monterey at
th" erd of the 10th century, on the very spot
where Cortn first landed the 2lM of April,
1519. ll did not receive its prvilepee till the
yer 1015, under Philip HI. It is situated on
sn r.rirl plain, destitute of running water. Tho
north winds thst blow with fierceness from Os
tober to April form hillt ol moving sand upon
this p's'n changing them every year. They
sre from 6 lo 39 feet high, and contribute by
the reverberation of Ihemo'a rare tu i-icreasu
Ihe heal of Vera Cru. Between tho city and
the Arryo Gavilan in the miJst nf Ihe ssnd
downs, sre marshy gronnds covered with man
eW and other brushwood. In the vicinity tre
the stagnant waters nf thn Temblsdura snd
thelkesiY llnrinija, llortaliri and ArJon.
The edifices of Vers Crux are built of madre
pore stone drawn from the ho' torn of the ocean.
The Intendancy of Vera Crux 1st no metallic
mine of any great importance.

Mr. Ciiarc at TAMrtco. We find in the
Harrirburg Union a letter from its Philadelphia
correspondent, giving the following acconnt of
Mrs. Chase, who distinguished herself at Tarn
pic"
1 perceive by our late advices from Tsmpico
ihtt Mr. Chase, ltdyot the Ute American Con
ml at tint place, is reported lo have behaved
in the most gallant manner. I had the plet
ure to e well acquainted with this lady, who
was a residr nt nf our cily and occupied a house
in SeciHid a'reet, ti low Pine, for a nuniber of
years, belonging to Wm. K. Lehman, where
r-he carried on sn extensive dry goods business.
She wasthrn Mrs. M'Ciarn'n, and wsadistin
guished tor mieeotme energy and considera
ble mercantile ability. She was quite tuecets
ful in business, and upon the death of her first
huaband, went to New Orleans, and cubte
quently married Mr. Chaae. When our vessels
were spproachirg Tsmpico, she ran up the A-mt-rican
flag, in dtfianee nf the alcalde and
other cffieeM. Sometime previous she wrote
to Cm Conner, telling him how the place
might he taken, the character and depth of the
water, accompanied by draft of the harbor and
plnn of the town and its fortification. This
information the doubtless obtained from the)
paper ot the late Cm-ul, nud it serves to show
thi iinHrtarice of thoee i fficers, and the propri
ety of their beinj men of intelligence and A
mericins who will be sufficiently interested
in the wtlfire of i ur government to make these
topograph icil investigations. Philadelphia mty
be proud of thia laily.
On Mop. ley morning two largo fin-backs
(whales) w.;re seen playing side and side in
Prnvinreiou n harbor, whereupon Capt. Cook,
of the bark Fairy, and Capt. Soper, iate of the
brij Samoel Thomas, manned two boats snd
peunc.fd upon the levisthans tetore they could
sea them. Cap'. Cook gave his customer a hsr
pinn and a lance aa qu ck as he could dsrt, and
lin-ned him up in about fifteen minutes. Cspt.
Soper also fattened lo ihe other, but so far aft
as not tu aflct the vitals, in consequence of
which ha could not get alongside to lance him.

both yielded potstoea of an increased sis?. A.

Cc ron Comcmptiom An iffiVrr in li e
British service, resident in tho EiSt Indies, had
been atricken with thisfutil disease, snd was
reduced by it to nearly a eMuton ; Ins triends
looked upon him as a doomed man, and he him
self had given up all hopes of long continuance
of life. He was one morning crawling ibot
his grounds, end accidentslly went intoashei
wherea msn hsd been bottling some wine; and
at the moment of his master's entrance had just
melted some rosin to seal the corks with. It
could not be otherwise thin that thus withii
the room should inhale the smoke arising from
the rotin. To the surprise of the nfil.cted one,
hie respiration became free and unobstructed
and it instantly occurred to him that the relief
he experienced wa produced by hit having in.
haled the rosinout smoke. He remained hot
ter during the day, snd without consulting his
doctor repeited the experiment in his sleep
room. That night he slept soundly a blessing
ho had not known for years.
Twice a day, for a week, did he continue
hie experiment, and with increased tuecets.
He then mentioned the affair lo hit medical ad
viter, who w,aa equally surprised with himself
at the improvement cf li e patitnt.'. health, ad
viaed him to continue the inhalations night inJ
morning. In the space of three months hia
cough left him, and hia appetite returned. In
six months bis health wsa so improved that he
contemplated reluming to his native country ;
he delayed, however, doing s i until a year had
expired. Still persisting in his new found re
medy, hia health was comp'etely restored, and
be wa cam mora a sound man.
