The REreN OF TERROR IN MExroo.
Our readers will find in the letters of
our Mexican correspondent, a more
connected account than has yet been
given of the tragic events that trans
fpired within the Republic between
the 14th and the 28th Of June.
The recital more than confirms
what has been alleged of the univer-
sal thirst for blood among those who
call themselves the Liberals Of Mex
leo. Several classes are marked out
for especial persecution, or for Instant
death. The nuns and occupants Of
religious houses generally are turned
out of doors. Priests of every order,
high and low, are forbidden to ap,
pear in their professional attire in the
streets. Capitalists, on whom forced
loans were made by the Imperial
Government, while it lasted, are com
PEELED to pay as much more to the
present dominant faction. Failing i,
that, they are turned out bankrupt
and penniless.
Foreigners are condemned to q
treatment to which there is no par.
allel 10 our time. Frenchmen, Ger
mans, and Americans are treated with
the same insolence All the Consu
lates, including our own, have been
forcibly entered aud rifed by the
Juarist thieves, under official man,

upon in sight of the Liberal" head
quarters. The cry is for blood, blood,

popdent, writing from the capital of
Mexico, under date of the Goth, moth,
ing but executions, imprisonment, and
extortions have thus far marked the
new era which has drawn upon Meg
leo, by the destruction of the Empire,
and over which so many promising
prophecies were made. Eighteen
hundred men, strangers and Mexcans
bearing arms, have been shot at Que
retaro since the capitulation of that
city, and not an evening has come or
a morning broken but what the clang
of rifles is heard at the different pub
lie plazas or squares. /
Whenever we hear these reports, at
eventide or at sunrise, we know that
some uncondemned Frenchmen, Ger.
mans, or Mexicans are being pierced
through and through by bullets. No
trial allowed-po confession granted,
but death, death, and blood, blood,
are demanded by the so.called Liberal
Government. So far as we have seen,
with but few exceptions, it is com

thing is certain, no foreigner can live

have begun in earnest. All the con.
