From the Ne,g orleans Picayune, Dec. 81

From the NeaD Orleans PicdyIle, Dec. 2
LATER FROM TABAsCo.-C Captain Merrill of the
schooner Tallahassee, arrived this morning from
Tabasco, having left that port on the 10th of No
vember. He reports the city in the hands of the
Liberals and that there had been fighting from the
22d of October to the 9th of November and onlv
seven men killed on both sides.
Tabasco is the only port that had been left in the
possession of the Zuloago faction. Gov. Duenas
had command of the place, and everything was
quiet when the Tallahassee left.
LATER FROM TAMPICo.-Captain OIiphant, of the
schooner Red Fox, arrived this morning from Tam
pico which port he left the 22d ut, reports that
Gen. Garza left that city the DIST II A. NJ for
Pueblo Yicjo and parts unknown, but it was sup
posed he had gone to consult with the President
specting the Spanish claim.
We have copies of the Presina to the 2Oth ult.,
and correspondence from Tampco to the 2lst
We gather from them that the commander of the
Spanish war steamer Leon, supported by the Isa-
bel Francisco and the Berenguela, had demanded
of Cara restitution of the forced loan levied on
Spanish subjects within twenty-four hours, but
that eventually the affair was automatically ar
ragged for the time, by Garzas devotiug certain i'm
portant duties to their payment, with liberal inte
rest. The arrangement however, was made sub
ject to the approval of Gen. Concha and President
Juarez.
The BerengueIa left on the 18th inst. with the
recent arrangement which will probably be re-
turned here with an increased naval force, to
change the aspect Of affairs here. 1t seems that
Spain is to open the ball, and England and France
this port is in daily expectation of receiving the
French Vice Admiral of the West India station
here, and the English Government has given
ders for naval force to repair to Tampico. The
citizens of the United States will be well protected
bv these friendly visitors, and government will
not be required to look into matters in this part of
Mexico.
At the instance of the United States Consul of
this port the U. S. ship Plymouth, Com'r Dahlgren
induced to visit this port to aid the Consul in
the defence of the rights of his suffering country
men, which resulted in procuring an order from
President Juarez, at Vera Cruz, to Garza of this
place. to restore the respective owners the 500
bales of goods unjusty confscated at Tanquasnequi
as also the money extorted from the foreign mer-
chants by Cara, a forced loan. That order
reached here just at the moment the merchandise
to be turned over to Garza's agents for sale,
which frustrated completely that nefarious scheme
of Garza and his two sharp accomplices. The goods
are soon to be given up in obedience to the order,
less the 10 per cent. fine on their value, which was
exacted, but not complied with on the part of the
merchants. The money taken from the merchants
as forced loan is to be refunded in the fair proml
ses Of General Garza.
