Col, Wynkoop, of the Pei mnsylvania volunteers, has been a most active and efficient agent in this business, and deserv: s great credit. He reported to Gen. Patterson, at the National Bridge, the presence in Jalapa of the two young Santa Annas, (natural sons of e self-styled “ Napoleon of the West,”) whose names carried considerable influence with them wherever they were used as tools b; nin; the cun- Filla cutthroats.

We find in several Mexican papers very violent at- tacks upon Paredes, all imputing to him monarchioal devigns. The .drca Iris gives « report that he had al- ready declared for the plan of Iguala, which the reader will recollect was monarchical. The Secretary of War addressed an order to General Rea, onthe 28th of October, directing him to take up some position in the State of Puebla, beat adapted to annoy the Americans; bat the chirf design of the note isevidently that he should use his force to protect the peacen| ble inhabitants from the excesses of the guerillas The attention ot the President has been called to their outrages upon the people, and he is not disposed to tole- rate them, nor to suffer them even to pursue Americans beyond the fair usages of nations and of humanity Every act of disorder or of vandalism {s to be punished, says this letter, and all robbers and evil-doers are to be arrested.

From the New Orleans Picayune, Nov. 27 We a heard it stated by several of our ae dis. tinguished offlcers, promin that the arrived from Mexico. that one eat impediment to the conclusion of the war is, better order of Mexicans fear that upon the withdrawal of the United States troops the country will be overrun and pillaged by their own soldiery. tise remarkable feature in this war, creditable to the hu- manity and discipline of the American forces, that men of substance in Mexico have dreaded the robbing pro- epee of the national levies more than the ravages of 6 inv rading army. It is a fact of no mean significance, in forming an opinion of the views and wi of the substantial citizens of Mexico, (hat the property of the capital is mow protected from the plunder of the leperos who infest it, by American Deyouste, The military vernment of ( n.

They hat ow # protection which they have been unused to; they see order and law en- forded by the'sword, and public justice upheld by a pub- lic ememy. It is not tobe wondered at that they should be glad to make friends with » people who show more mercy in their conquests than their own rulers do in the ordinary conduct of gor ment. These people would m™ in secret the withdrawal of the American army, tif@gh they have not the boldness to advocate annexa- tion. Conld they be aesured af tne protection of the United States, it is questionable if a majority of the bet- ter order of property holders in Mexico would not advo- cate the ex mn of our civil government over them. Many of them, as patriots, would prefer to see the coun: try brought within the opera ion ef the protecting | ot this Union than delivered up to the marauders will overrun it at the conclusion of a peace. They know that their rulers have neither love of country or love of justice in their hearts; and they have seen that good gofernment can come from abroad.
