Builder. They we're treated very wen in
Querotaro, although the LePeros stoned a
few Of the soldiers and teamsters who oecem-
panied them.
Gen. Herrera, as you will see by the accom-
@panying papers,, has denounced lho Presidon-
cy, or declines to perform tho duties in his
present bad state Of health. A peace man
will be named in his place if it is not Poha
again. \,
About 1000 Mexican troops are on the road
for this city, and 400 of them within a few
leagues. Until they arrive the National Guard
which has been for mo time organizing here,
will do duty in the city. The Governor Of The
district having issued an order that all for
%eigners will be received in the ranks, many OF
them, merchants and a%rlizuns, have enrolled
and will 90 on duty as soon as we leave,
and therefore | believe the city will be kept
quiet,
Riley and all the San Patricio prisoners were
released yesterday. They will be great lions
amongst the Mexicans after we leave. It is
strange the sympathy that has been extended
towards these men. The first families of the
city have visited, caressed and provided for
them in their confinement while the suffering
Of the wounded Of their own country has been
scarcely noticed, Riley will certainly be a
General Of division with the Iltulage apendi-
ture ~bcnemeriIo de la Patria, etc.
The lower order of the Mexicans, instiga-
ted by some of the better informed, have al
ready begun their persecution towards those
who have been friendly or social towards the
Americans At Cuernavaca they sacked their
houses and atSan A nigel the day Gen. Parerson's
division left, they committed great excuses -
1t is reported that they not only destroyed the
furniture Of those of the softer sex who re-
ceived the visits Of los Yanquies, hut took a
number of them to the very trees where Riley
and his companions were whipped and bran
ded, and cut their hair short from the head,
and with a hot iron burned the letters /" u. s."
upon their cheeks. When this news was re-
ceived in the city, the women who had visited
the balls and danced with our people were in
a great way, They ran off to their houses,
eschewed all Yankee company, and knowing
that they had been marked for future punish
ment, commenced making preparation for de-
%parture. Those who bad not a particular
friend among the Americans were running
around The different wagon-yards, and beg
ging the Ieamsters to take them toJalapa Vera,
Cruz, or To such other places on the road as
they might live for a while in safety, and ]
verify believe they will average two to each
wagon that is now on the road
Nearly every follower of the army is on the
road-business of every kind is at an end, anc
the general appearance of Mexico reminds
me of New Orleans IN the dog days.
Many of the gamblers, the only American
that cary home any wealth, have left here i
coaches drawn by eight or ten mules, thei
money packed before, behind and on top o
the coach, and themselves and their native lad
seated inside,
8 p. M.-The vote on the resignation Ollie
rera, was 10 for acceptance and 81 against it,
Though the mail has been in some time, | ca
only send you the few papers received.
