Gen. Scott. was still at Puebla on the

The courier Of tho British legation ar

correspondence from Mexico 10 The 29th

Editorial correspondence Of the Picayune.
PuEBLA, .(Mex.) July.25, lS47.
Since despatching my las! courier, three
days ago, have not written you, for the
simple reason that ! had nothing to say.
Even rumors have not becnSas.abundant as
they were week since, the jade who cir.
culated Them with so prolific a hand on
our first arrival having either tired herself
down or worn herself out. No, ten days
since, and we bad twenty different stories
in relation TO Santa Alma in as many diff:
ferenl hours-his slock, i'll may lie allow
ed to US The term, was purely Of fancy
description, rising and falling with every
puff of wind from the capital. Now, we
simply hear occasionally:ihat he continues
to lead Congress and the people by the
nose-in short, that hesis having every
thing bis own way. Dictator no was, at
lasl accounts, TO all intents aud purposes,
and his measures, whateverthey may have
been, ne was carrying outfwilh a high and
most unscrupulous hand The law Of one
day, if il stood the least in, his way, was
abolished The next, and be who raised a
word Of opposition or dissent was placed
where his voice could moi be heard, let him
shout at his loudest. Such was the state
OF affairs at the capital four days ago
they may have altered since then.
