Interesting from .Mer,co.-By The arrival of
the Spanish schr. BaIiza, from Vera Cruz, which
she left on 23d December, we are IN possession
Of intelligence confrmatory ofthe recent reports
respecting a conflict between the French troops
and the Mexican forces under the command Of
SANTA Anna. The statement that the Mexican
chief had been wounded and had suffered am.
putaon of the leg, proves to be correct
We learn in addition, that the city and castle
have been evacuated by the French. Santa An
M has allowed eight days to the French resi-
dents in Vera Cruz for preparations tor their
departure, and six days have been accorded to
the French, in the interior for the same purpose,
IL was currently reported that the Mexican gov
eminent has resolved upon the expulsion OF all
foreigners without exception.
From the same source we derive information
that part of the French fleet had removed from
Vera Cruz, in order to renew the blockade of
other Mexican ports. The crovette Creole, com
manded by the Prince de Jonville has gone to
Havana on cruise sand there now remained
but four vesse Is of war before Vera Cruz. The
blockade of the town is nevertheless strictly en-
forced and no vessels whatever are allowed to
enter.
The French brig Marie Terese has been char
tered by the French admiral, to leave in about
ten days for New Orleans, with one hun
dred and twenty French residents. The
Army OF Santa Anna, about seven thousand
strong, is said 10 he encamped at ten miles dis.
lance from the town.
