Tumors, reports, and stories flying about, entire

/ have believed they could have become the cada-
verous looking men they now are even those
not on the sick list will, If they ever get home,

| day.
! wrote you that the French started for Tehu-
can on the 27th ult., and that the Spanards
started for Orizgba on the lst inst So they did,
thai is to say, parts Of these forces left, and J. OF
course supposed the Jest would follow. The
Zouaves are still here, and some Of the Spanish
troops also. We hear that the Mexicans have
not allowed those that left 20 proceed as quietly
as the aliens expected The PJt0mac's arrival
has caused considerable surprise and anxiety 10
the PisRiyoS, and a few Mexicans here are laugh
ing in their sleeves at the CONSERVATION. The
POwhstan and Santee coming, increase their
curiosity. and they have been rather iuquisitive
in their demands for the objects, Intentions etc.
We had an absurd rum9T that Marquee had given
battle to Gen. Cuellas, and completely routed
him. We knew il TO be impossible, IS Marquee
is near Puebla and CueIlas is within league Of
the capital Still the SpaniaTds choose to give
the report Credeuce, so easy It Is TO make
ourselves believe trat what we wish 20 happen
has come TO pass. 1t is true, however that Mar
quez still holds the road from this to Mexico and
Tobs all the passengers lie, however, usually
respects courierS, and this tends 70 confirm the
suspicion here that the curiosity Of the aliens is
aroused TO see the dispatches from our govern
ment to Mr.. Corwin, caused by the death OF au
American courier, Mr.. Arden. of Lowell, Mas
sachusetts on the both nit. Gen. Prim and staff
started in "a diligence on the 4th for OIizaba.
We have not heard from him, nor is it time, as
yet.
The Blasuo de Garay brought $50 sick troops,
and though we are told they were sorry to leave
their companions, nevertheless they seemed very
glad to get back They may have been soITy

so is any humane man On the 9th, BdgadIeT
General Lorency arrived in the French war
steamer EOrtait, with his staff. His force Of
3 600 men had not arrived. He says five thou
sand more are coming (to CadiX2) The AisTi-
can people are furious at the idea Of a monarch
being thrust upon them, and viii fight TO the
last against it, with the exception Of Marquee
aud Cobos, VINO have about five hundred men.
The whole nation is united for the first time in
their history.
The secessionists here all hang their hea
since we have heard such glorious news from
the North. They try in vain to derive comfort ia
saying that the rebels are concentrating, and at
last a decisive battle will be won by them, and
then they viii drive the invading Yankees into
Canada, and this viii be done easily, as they
have not fO-t-ti 81 their rear as they advanced
South.
