ers in infamy, Tornel and Lucas Altman,
the condition Of the country, morally ana
il daily worse. 1t really seems
that the brigand Of Margodel Clave has
given d carte blanche to all the bandits
between here and Vera Cruz; for since ne
came into power every stage carriage, pas.
sing between the cities, has been robbed;
and often the passengers killed. Now Inc
first salulation is a fire Of arms. Arrieros,
which you know have generally been con-
sidered safest from these free.booters can
no longer cross to and from the capl'al
without an escort at an enormous expense.
One Of your countrymen paid $1,000 TOR
his goods up, recently. Many caravans
have been robbed, and since Admiral
Baudin's shameful treaty with these people
the licenced bandits called judges and law
yers, are If possible, more shameless in
their judiciary proceedings than before
and the new dynaslic violate with the
most impudent manner. their contracts
with the merchants and others.
A few weeks since the foreign merchants
made contract with the Government to
supply it with ST. 300, 00O,to be refunded by
the duties on goods then at Vera Cruz.
After 100000 was paid, Santa Anna
made another loan with Carrera, without
the knowledge of the other houses, and
gave him the duty bonds belonging 10 the
others, a thing never before done. Our
minister, too, Mr.. Packenharn, had given
his countenance to bring about the first
loan, and yet the "saterino" had no res
pect for him. Mr.. p. first doubted the
matter, and then he applied to the govern
ment: it was acknowledged, and spirit
ed correspondence took place, without et-
feet. The Saint" observed to some
persons that Mr.. P. had better mind his
diplomacy, than to be meddling in private
affairs, and thus the matter steop till Sat
urday, when all the parties concerned IN
the loan were requested to meet at Margo
de Cavo, the residence of his excellency
the president al term, and the matter has
been patched up by the government squeez-
ing out of the merchants more money
The courier, Rafael, was detained for the
result, as MIR. Packenham was for once
resolved TO put up no longer with the lnfa-
nous conduct Of this piratical government
against his countrymen, but lay the mat
ter before his government for prompt re-
dress; and this must be the result, for this
government will again violate the contract
for if they ever had the means to get
along without it, they have not had the
honesty: but the resources Of the country
are far short Of the evigencies, which are
daily increasing, and as you will see by
the Diaro del Gobierno," 10000 troops
are to be raised. Santa Anna is laying
his plans for the destruction of General
Bustameate and his friends, and to place
himself at the head of imperial power
Every office of power and profit in the
country he is filling with his infamous min
ions. He allows no men or means to be
sent to Gen. Bustamente Padre Mol
doan is still in the citadel. IN. O. Bal.

AN INDIAN FIGHT.

ANXIOUS.
IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

From some unknown cause our files Of
papers by the Water Witch have not yet
come to hand. We have, however, been
favored with the following letters, through
the politeness Of mercantile house in this
city, to whom they were addressed
They undoubtedly contain a more correct
account Of the affairs Of Mexico than will
be found in the Mexican papers. The
remarks of the writer, who is an English
merchant in the city of Mexico, are very
just and full Of interest.
Are the American people SO Indifferent
to their character abroad, and 10 the wei
fare Of their country, as 10 suffer their ma
tional affairs to remainin the hands Of such
men whose whole attention seems taken
up with party and Federal concerns
While American citizens in this country
have been appealing to their Government
for years, in vain, for redress Of grievances,
for spoliation, and every species Of barba.
rous outrage, committed against their per-
son and property, both by the civil and
military authorities, from the supreme nov.
eminent down to the vilest nofficial.o
Rapine and murder are things of daiiy
occurrence in every part Of this piraticaI
and ubiquitous country; and since the de.
mon Santa Anna has got at the head Of
affairs, through the inlrigues Of his follow.
