OUR VERA CRUZ CORRESPONDENCE. ‘Vena Cxvz, March 2, 1858.

I address you a few lines before leaving the port of Vora Cruz. Ihave been up in the country for some time, and very glad I am to go back to my native shores. Not taat Ido not like Mexico, but what I object to is the little eaergy displayed by her rulers, having found the people easily to De managed. This was the great fault of Comonfor’, shared by all the Jeaders of the liberal party ; and although every- Body is convinced that with very little punishment, dealt eat to rebels and highway robbers, as well as to some re- volutionizing pries's, the present strife would never have @ccurred, yet you cannot find the men to put such neces- sary measures into execution. ‘What a fleld for an enterprising stateemen—if there is any at Washington—to operate upon! But most unfortu- Bately Mexico is not understood at home. That such a man as Zuloaga should have grasped the reins of govera- ‘ment of this most unfortunate republic, which he is not fo the least able to wield, ig. such an outrageous insult to common ), baat even if he had pot betrayed the con fitence of Comonfort, selling himself cody and Foul to the clergy, trampling under foot all liberal inatitutions, Mr. Forsyth, our Minister, ought to have reapected more the dignity of our country than to have acknowledged such a government; whereas the legitimate one was established be due time, ano reqaested the foreign ministers wo recog Rize its Jegitimacy. However, he thought ft to follow the French and Eng- Imh Minieters, whicu shows that be aces oot look through tbe designs of those worthies.

Weare happy, however, im being enabled to state from persona! inquiry that within the last few months ‘® reaction bas taken place, trade ia improving, aad as it is anticipated foreign orders will be received this year, the prospects of the coming seagon are more cheering. Tue majority of the work at present on hand cénsists princi- pally of orders from foreign governments, and the inci- dental repairs of our river and sound steamers, which the contractors are dnisbiog off with much expedition. ‘The recent visit of the Turkish Admira) to our city, and the avowed object of that visit, has caused a good deal of excitement among the shipbuikiing fraternity and masy surmises are mado: as to the identity of the fortunate contractor who has, or will receive, the Turk’s patronage. Nothing deflaite on the matter has transpired, and the utmost secresy ia maintained as to any burinoss matters bis Highness may havo transacted.

She related several anecdotes to illustrate the force of sentimental love in ancient times, such as that of Aristotic submittivg to carry his lady love on his back after he had reproached Alexander the Great with his slavish devotion t the same lady. The German poet Wieland said that sentimental love begaa with the Oret sigh and ended with the first kiss. She thought Plato was right when he eaid that jove was a great devil.
