According ‘old state of things, the merchant, to export it to ited States, which wished to do, would have been obliged to pay two heavy duties. Four per cent for bringing it into the country, and six per cent forex- porting out of the country, Not exactly satisfied with the necessity of paying over so much money, to the hun. gry officials, who still lingered about Matamoras, he visited General Taylor's tent, and stated his wish to ship to the United States, twenty thousand dollars in gold and silver. “ Well,” said the General, ‘ship it, very much leased you are 80 rata “But,” said the merchant Perttating, “the interior and exterior duties.” ‘I know nothing :abeut such duties while I am in Matamoras,” said General Taylor. The merchant bounced off, con- gratulating himself in Spanish, that the Americans had come to the country, as he had made lars in one day by their so doing, ‘upon mall shipment of specie. The French Consul, in Matamoras, informed us while we were in that city, that any amount of specie might be obtained in that place, for Louisiana paper. This hint may be of advantage to those who hove to take the precious metals to the army, for the purpose of pay- ing off the troops. During the first day of the bombard. ment of Fort Brown, there was an by our soldiers in the fort, to fire Matamoras with hot shot. The to h hot, were imperfect, and 1@ consequence was, the shot were made v |, but not sufficiently so to set any thing on fire. good citizens of Matamoras, de- ter to make the mos! of the balls we sent into their city, had frequent scrambles for them, as they fell into their .

After the battle of San Jacinto, President Santa Anna entered into a convention with the government of T' as, and amongst other provisions stipulated that the M ican forese should abandon Texas, and retire beyond the Rio Grande. Santa Anna was then a prisoner, but Gen. Felisola, and all the commandants of Mexican detach- ments, ratified the convention, and the Mexican army was unmolested on its retirement. On one occasion, General Gorestiza passed within two miles of the Texan army, with that F ont which had garrisoned Boxer. Th: two armies, the Mexicans being most numerous, camped near each other, and Gen. Go- restiza sent a request to Gen. Rusk to deliver up to him some bread whic!
