FROM MExIco.-The New Orleans Picayune,
Of the I'd inst, contains letters from Buena
Vista which reached N. Orleans by the way of
Washington city, and are of course rather old.
The matter of the following paragraphs, how
ever, will.be new to our readers:
CAMP BUENA VISTA, Sept. II, l847.
But to the action of the Government of Zaca-
made upon all the inhabitants, irrespective OF
birth place, and every person who refused tol
pay the required sum was compelled to pay
double. They even come down upon Mr.. Pen
ny, the English director of the mint at Maza-
pill, for thousand dollars, and, upon his refus-
ing payment, forcibly seized 81, 800. They also
collected $500 from DR.. Morrison.

to organize guerrilla parties in this State in the
neighborhood of Monclova, but it is said with
no flattering success; and he has and will have
emissaries in this region to assist him In his
plans, there can'be no doubt, but the authori-
ties are so we'll assured that they will be made
to suffer in direct proportion to his success that
they will not lend a hand if thes can help 1t,
fearing they may adjust rope about their own
neeks. He is said to be a very talented man
and an excellent lawyer and certainly manages
his case very shTewdly.

Since closed my last, Rafael Arispe. one OF
a numerous family in Saltillo, very hostile to
the Americans, and Don Curterni, who have
been expressing themselves very strongly

threats; have been hauled over the Goals by the
General, and ordered either to furnish thOus-
and dollars each as security for their good be-
havior or leave the city within twenty four
hours. The time has expired, and as have
not heard of the moneys being forthcoming 1t
