MEXICO.

(Per City of Baltimore, via Queenstown.)
NEW YORK, JULY 12.
The following news is furnished by the Havannah
agent of the New York Associated Press.
Intelligence from Vera Crnz of the 2d, via
Havannah, states that the French have surprised
and routed a large body of Mexicans, under Ortega
and Zaragoza at Cerro de Borgo, near Orizaba, on
the 14th ult.

Ortega and Zaragoza returned and attacked the
French on the loth, but with no successful result.

Large bands of Mexican guerillas were between.
Tejera and Vera Cruz.

The French supply trains, with their escort for
Orizaba, had been captured. the vivandieres
were shot in the melee. The French were short of
provisions at Orizaba.

Three bearers of French despatches had been
captured, and official documents for Generals Lo-
rencez, Saligny, and Douai had been published in

Mexico.

Several French and Mexican steamers had gone
to various Mexican ports, demanding that the in-
habitants should declare for Almonte, but in all
cases the people had refused.

Other accounts received in Havannah state that
the road was open from Vera Cruz to Orizaba.

NEW ROYAL MAUSOLEUM AT WINDSOR.

The mausoleum now in course of erection in the
Royal grounds, Frogmore, and which is intended to
receive the remains of the late Prince Consort, is
situated about 100 3 ards from that of the late
Duchess of Kent. A more secluded spot could not
have been selected, the site being surrounded by
many different species of flowering shrubs and trees
of a large growth, while close by is a beautiful
specimen of the deciduous cypress, the dark shades
of which will contrast well with the stones of the
tomb. The building is being erected from the de-
signs and under the superintendence of Mr. A. S.
Humbert, the architect, and consists of a central
cell with four transepts branching north, south,
east, and west, with a porch adjoining the western
transept. The whole floor is supported by brick
vaults of massive Rork, which at the same time
form chambers, with loopholes for the purposes of
ventilation and the prevention of damp rising to
the superstructure. They are entered by a small
flight of stone steps. The central cell will be
lighted by three light semicircular-headed windows
in the clerestory, which will be externally decorated
with Aberdeen granite shafts and heads. The cop-
per roof of the central cell (which is octagonal on
plan) rises from the wall heads to the apex with a
flit pitch in the manner of an Italian campanile,
and will be surmounted with a gilt cross. Under
this roof will be the sarcophagus for the remains of
the Prince Consort. The reclining statue of the
Prince will be executed by Baron Marochetti. The
four transepts are square on plan, are lighted by
windows similar to those in the clerestory of the
central cell, and will have pedimented copper roofs.
The porch, which will be entered by ahandsomefiight
of stone steps, will be lighted with circular-headed
three-light windows, with shafts and heads of
Guernsey granite, and the front will be supported
by monolithic granite columns, similar to those

DESTRUCTION OF THE GREAT STEAMSHIP INDIAN
Eurrnr BY Fren.—This (Thursday) morning, about one
o'clock, the whole of the metropolis was illuminated by the
burning of the fine steamship Indian Empire, the property
of Messrs. Peason of Nicholas-lane, City, and Hull, classed
A 1 at Lloyd's, 200 feet long. For some time past the
vessel had been undergoing repairs in the shipyard of Messrs.
Lingler, the Lower Dockyard, or water-gate wharf, at
Deptford, and only on the previous day she was taken into
the middle of the river, and moored opposite Messrs. Mare's.
About midnight some of the Thames police officers, whilst
rowing their galley along the Thames, overheard one of the
men left in charge of the ship tell some one to be sure and
call him at 5 o'clock in the morning. The police then
rowed along the stream, but before they had reached
Limehouse they saw unmistakeable signs of the outbreak ;
and on rowing back again they found that the lamp room,
which was situated on the deck, was on fire. Every
attempt was at once made to extinguish the flames, but not
the least impression could be made upon them. 1 hou-
' sands of tons weight of water were thrown by the engines
into the burning vessel, in spite of which the fire continued
to spread till it had destroyed the bulwarks and the paddle-
wheels. After a lapse of eight hours the flames began to
succumb, but the once noble vessel is almost destroyed.
The owners are believed to be insured at Lloyd's, but for
