At the conclusion of the third day’s travel we came cp with the advances of the liberals at <Arroyozarco, some thirty-five leagues from Mexico, the roads being fo bad it was impossible to get ahead more rapidly. Your correspondent, peing armed with recommendations from Vera Cruz, received every atten- tion from the commander at Arroyozarco. The follow- ing day we got on to San Juan del Rio, and the next day to Queretaro, From Arroyozaroo, this way, the whole line ig dotted with small garrieons of Libera! forces. Queretaro is now held by Berriozabal, who has a force of some 1,200 men in the place, aud some 500 more under his orders in the vicinity. Being competied to lay over one day in Queretaro, I visited an inspection of Berriozsbal’s forces, and was pleased to see some 700 of them were well armed, clothed and disciplined. The rest were an undis- ciplined set—mere guerillas. The country between Mexi- co and Queretaro has received the attention of the planter, and the harvests promise weil. At Queretaro we learned that the road ahead of us was infested with robbers, and 1 accordingly called on the military commander, who promptly gaye me orders to takeescorts from the different small garrisons on the line of my travet to thie place. However, finding two fellow travellers, who were coming with me twelve leagues (to Celaya) disposed to carry arms, we procured arms and acted as our own escort to that place. Sitting on the bom, with a Sharp’s rifle in band, | had a fine view of the battie fleld of Estancia de los Vacoa as the sun was rising. At Celaya the military commander gave me a mounted escort, who accompanied us to Salamanca, where we stopped for the night. The following morning we came upon dapgeroug ground, and in consequence the military commander of Salamanca sent after me six as desperate looking fellows as 1 bave ever seen in my life, mounted on spirited little nags, and armed with carbine, sword, and long lances decorated with red and white streamers. As they csme dashing after tho diligence, with their jingling spurs and rattling swords, J could not help laugh- ing at the thought of the figure the correspondent of the New York Hexatp was cutting. This importance was made the more apparent ag we arrived at a stoppl piace, and the escort saluted me as I got out of the dil) gence. My fellow travellers, amoagst whom waa a Mexi- can General, looked upon me with the utmost curiosity and awe, and doubtless set me down as some wenderful character. I, of course, did not help them to a sola tion, My orders for escort bei of the most positive character, made a formal demand at Salamanca for competent force, The commander replied —Have no fear. I'll give you six as good brigands as ever robbed a diligence,” and these were my meo. Suflice it W say, they brought the dill- gence in safety. The country tetween thie aud Queretaro, one of the moet fertile spots of the republic, is completely neglected. Few Oelds are planted, and those that are are ruined for want of attention. The revolation has carried off the la borers, and the robbers have stolen nearly all the cattle, horses and mules. Al! kinds of grain and horse feed are already écarce and selling for bigh prices, with no pros pect of crops, ‘This region is principally under the do- minion of the church fanatics of Queretaro, who have stimulated and are now stimulating the population to the commission of ali manner of outrages.

Degoiiado, seeing the Inupensing siorm, has selzed upon a convoy of $1,966,000 of money belonging to the commerce, with the view of precipitating the movements of the liberal forces and conclodivg the civ'l war.

However, this has been explained to satiety, and if other foreign pations wil] not act upon it, we may bave scenes like those of Syria here, As | have always been # staunch defender of the libe- ral government, it is a very disagreeable task for me to state that » conducta, travelling from Guanajuato to Tam- Pioo, and confided to the escort of Degollado and Doblado, has been appropriated entirely by those chiefs, for the Purpose of finishing the revolution witb this money. ‘The sum amounts to $1,300,000, of which about $800,000 or $900 C00 belong to two rich houses, and the balance is divided amongst merchants of different nations, of which ‘very little belongs to Vera Cruz. This is the heaviest blow Degollado could have inflicted upon his government, which of course sent an order for its restitution, which, however, is waste paper. Weare accustomed to see these scandalous robberies committed of late—s case which, before this revolution, had not hap- pened im thirty years. You have the robbery of San Luis, $240,000, and of Ortega, at Guanajuato, $88,000, both paid by the Custom House of this port; of Marquez, of Guadalajara, $600,000, partly returned; of Robles, at Ialapa, last year, $25,000, paid in Mexico; of Robles, at Jalaps, this year, $33,000, not paid; and now this master stroke of Degollado’s. This government is certainly to blame for not haying punished at that time Ortega, but more than anybody, the foreign ministers, who, on the rob of juez, put up with the insult of reoeivit payment in a promise to effect such by duties of the Cus. om }, of which none was, por hag been since, in the possession of the Miramon government. Degollado, having 16,000 men, loat his ( ae ygenw time at Queretaro, instead of falling upon the capital, where they bad neither troops nor money. Op the contrary, he committed the great blunder of retracing his steps in order to take G whereas he ought to have left that enterprise for later times. He could certainly have taken Mexico, and might then bave bad the chance of restoring the stolen oe. Even as it is, the capital is far from able to de- fend iteelf, al! some mouey hag been furnished by some bankers, ing about 300 per cant on it. No doubt they will claim this amount of the liberal government when in power, and certainly they may find numbers to back them, such rascality being just in the line of some of them. Thank God, there is no American amongst them that I no chance of being encouraged know of, as they bave had im such things. ‘There is one Mexican banker, though, calling himself a citizen of the United States, who claims for furniture broken by the mob uuder Sana Anes’s government, being an obnoxious character; avd ». ti. time Genera) Gadsden replied to his demands, thai being a caballero of the r of ae be could not well consider him a the money #0 obtained ig a trife, and fow days, though other means are resorted instance, the other day Miramon invited some his house, and there in a friendly way $20,000 each. were put ip jail and fed on allowing their families to seud them such treatment no of tho Eoglish debt in may leara, when wo trast to i i : 3 i i take possession of this chance.
