The CAT Our OF THE BAa.-The following
extract, from letter Of Gideon J. Pillow, one
of Mr.. Polk's generals, in reply to an invitation
to attend the festival at New Orleans, lets the
cat ont Of the bag:


oMy intention is not again to leave the field Of
active duty TO my country, until permanent peace
can be secured, by such form of government in
Mexico as will guarantee with certainty to the citi-
zens Of the United States those advantages which
may be contained in such treaty; the establish
ment Of complete military occupation of Mexico,
whereby the revenues may be secured to the use Of
the United States, arising from the internal taxes in
the Mexican States, besides the present duties on inn
ports and affording to the productive classes in
Mexico that protection from their enormous taxes,
which they have not heretofore enjoyed, and thereby
also teaching them how such taxes can be correctly
collected and honestly accounted for, to the proper
departments Besides, protection TO the people from
forced oans levied by their ever-changing reyolu-
tionary Governments" Nh
