The arrival of the United States Minister and suite

obvious for if the Tennessee had taken the money,

OF $50 OC0 or $4,000 This the secret Of the recent
detention that officers PIT in charge o. great national

Nj MoIane, at the solicitation IF the American mer-
charts of Vera Cruz, sent Capt. Faraslt, of the
Brooklyn TO JGaps, 10 demand from Robes that the
money belO giug TO the Americans should be restored
and sent forward. He also made the same demand on
the part of the German merchants they having put

at consented, sta;irg that he did not intent TO
stop the American money and vas then IN some study

parts of the cOnducta e. forward he had nstruc-
tions from Mramon 10 see that It was shipped on
board the English AMI French men.ofwar NJ some
other port than Vera Cruz. He aferwad altered his
mind in this respect and allowed the whole conddcta
to enter Vera Cruz. the declaration OF the French
and English Admiras that they wOui have nothing
10 do with il. He managed, however, TO demand
per cent OF $50 Geo. which was paid by the merchants
of Vera Cruz; for they we're actually N GTead that
their money would be robbed the road before ef.
Robes's possession In fact, there is strong susp'-
cion that Robes actually intended to end the affair
with grand plundeIing fight. At the time the con.
duca vas arrested the first time b. the dragons OF
Robes the advance wagons Of the train n sight
of the p ket guard Of Ger Paris. stationed at Puente
Macdonald or rather the National Bridge, which Is the
outpors of the Juarez Government. II little fight
could have been excited al that time, what admi
rsble excuse for thieving.
The position of the war has not changed materially
since the last letter wrote you nor IN fact since the
retreat of DegOlado from before the city Of Mexico.
