[From the New Orleans Picayune, Dec. 20.) We learn verbally that Gen. Woll, who was for many years in the service of Mexico, and who signalized him- selfin asandon the Rio Grande froutie: recently effected @ landing at Laguna and had proceeded toward! the Mexican cupital. Gen W. is a Frenchman by birth, retired to hie native country a year or two since with a fortune, has the reputation of being ‘a brave officer. The Diarie de la Marina is particularly well informed in Mexican affairs, and we gather from it some items. The chief of the Mexican difficulties arises froi pecun- jary embsrrassments, says the Diario. continually calling pon the Government for mean’ — ae ak 'Y, being called together by delegations hoth and secular orders, refused positively to but the gov- wea a loan of two millions of dollars ent, conside: treasury and the neces: te too urgent to be provided for by general contribution—bad resolved to issue drafts for the amount of two millions of dollars upon the responsibility of the clergy, the clergy to be compelled to meet the same within two years—the Government recognizing the amount as a loan to be wlti- mately reimbursed with interest at the rate of 6 per cent peranoum. To render these drafts at once available, the Government had determined to draw them for smounts varying frem $200 to $20,969, in favor of in- dividuals of wealth,and according ‘o their circumstances, und compel! them to advance the respective sums within Sach is the forced lean to which Santa Anna, riven the sty and which tho latter excuses by alleging thet ‘ the clerical order, both se- gular and regular and of both sexes, has always shown itwelf ready to make the greatest sacrifices.” We are oe to seo how the church will digest this measure. ‘The decree relative tothe to D, Jose Garay, of » plthe exclusive privilege of opening communication pang on Di by the Isthmus of other- 20 a8 to facilitate coloniz: wwe have at last’ a revelation in relation to the letter which our Government addressed the Mexican Govern- ment towards the end of September, and the receipt of hich on the 6th or 6th ef November 2 Vera Cruz, B mentioned.

This would be an abandon- ment of their strongest claims on Mexico. They wish- ed, however, to settle all the questions in dispute be- tween the two Republics. Mr. Buchapan’s latest letter concluded by saying that the President, persuaded that had done his duty in makiog proposals for peace, pores with patience an i hope the final decision of the Mexican Government. That Wh the longer the war lasted the more difficult would it to make a satis. factory peace, on account of the continually increasing expenses of it, yet he should always be ready to ter minate the war upon terms of absolute justice "and that in the meantime he had no alternative butto prosecute the war with vigor, until the Mexican Government oe tod be ready to receive his overtures for peace in a Outhe 0th of November, by order of Santa Anna, a rand mass was Colebrated, ail the officers of the army present, to implore the Divine sid for the happy inoue ot th the war.

It was added that at Los Angeles the Indians had massacred one hundred and fifty Amorican aajlors acting as soldiers. The negotiations between Com. Conner and other authorities at Tampico are given, but they are not im-' portant, aod we are crowded for room. A private letter from Mexico assures the Diario that a good understanding existed betweon Santa Anna and the central government, but that the necessities of the Gene- ral were suck that he was constrained to insist upon the forced loan of two millions. His army amounted to about 25.000 men, the bi rm of which was cavalry General Taylor had suffered much from sickness an ‘de- master but the number of his troops was variously esti- mate The Mexicans are co!

Santa Anna is said "ts have threatened to retreat to Queretaro if they don’t send him the $2,000,000 that he has asked for, which great ex- ertions are being made to raise. Some say he will fall back whether or no, in order to be nearer the capital on the opening of Congress. Propositions hed been made to the British merchants for a ‘ean of $20,000 000,secured duction of duties on articles now probibited. The d and landed interest, it is — are quite tired of the war, and Santa Anna’s retrograde movement may Po ibly be in order to intimidate Congress into peace while he apparently sacrifices his amfition reis (to be earned) to the will of the people. The 4 suppose him not to be inimical to peace. At nts he won't meet the enemy—if it is done at all, some one else must do It. The blockade is not considered at all an effectual one; several vessels sent from here have discharged. An American sloop of war, said to be the Albany, from New York, is just coming in.
