LAI EST FROM TIE MEXICAN PRO
VINCES

E1ctract from a Letter. dated N:schuochc8,
December 8. 1912.
The revolutionary army is said to consist
on 1000 70 1900 men. On Saturday last we
received intelligence that they were sur
rounded in the Fort If Labadie about 20
miles from St. Antonio, by 5000 Spanish
troons and Indians com 'anded by Cover
nor Saiccdo and Cni. Herrera. The same
day we had letters from Magce, dated La
badie 18th October stating that he was in
trehched there and that the enemy about
600 strong were in sight, but would not be
brought to a battle. That captain Slocum
az the head Of IS men attacked and put to
fight $50 Of them. From these contradic
tory accounts We can draw no certain con-
clusion. { If rs could drive $50, why should
1~Co intrench themselves before 600H] The
Courier who brought the last news heard
firing of cannon for hours the morning be-
fore he left Labadie--so that we daily cX-
pect important news.

Late nczva from France rhrctcd. 3,
The schooner Lynx, captain Taylor, in
81 days from Nantz, bound to Baltimore,
with passengers and a valuable cargo, was
spoke in the bay on Friday last. There
were sixty odd sail of American vessels al
Nantz when the Lynx sailed.
We understand that the French ship Ia
meriare was blown of the Middle Ground
where she lay stranded in the heavy gale
on "Wednesday night, and drifted on the
Shoals a. the entrance of the Capes. The
English crew on board Ga lieut.. and 81

tremely hazardous (the Tartams having
gone off and left them to shift for them
selves,) abandoned the ship and made for
Lynhaven beach here making q virtue of
necessity, they went to the first habi.ation
they saw and peaceably delivered them
selves up as prisoners of war. They ar
rived here on Friday night escorted by de-
tachment of the Princes Anne militia, and
we're delivered over to the custody Of the
Marshal. The ship lies on her beam ends,
with only three planks width of deck ont
OF water, and her masts and spars gone. 1t
IS probable that she will go to pieces with

All doubt as to the annihilation OF the
French grand army, j. removed BY the
last Russian advices. Such series OF
brilliant victories, as have marked the
progress Of the Russian arms, has never
perhaps, been recorded in history
The northern blast has withered the
right arm of the French ty.snt," but the
extent of it's effects are yet to be seen:
1t will pass over Poland, Prussia. Aus
tria, all continental Europe, and though
aSiroc toBonaparte, it will breathe life *
spirit into the hearts of his long suffer-
ing and degraded allies. Thus gathering
strength as it advances, it is impossible
to say, where or when its progress will
be arrested. Who knows, but it may
yet penetrate into the heart of France,
and shake the tyrant even upon his
throne
