Since my lsst by tho Columbia, we have had
cone stirring news, some Of which l tried 10 senu
You per Philadelphia from Key West but was mol

frmed .he defeat Of the French army $50 they style

6evine he had large party III the kepuOhc, &C,
also persuaded Loreacez that there would be no re-
tistance in Pueba, and this General rather IN
cautiously ordered an advance.
The retreat TO Orizaba has had a disheafenng
effect on the French, and was to be expected, the
opposite on tie Mexicans, now more unanimous and
exultant than ever. 4 call for 5000 men on San
Luis Potosi was answered by 5000, who, under
Gen Ortega with 1900 more from Guanaxuato
were expected to arrive in the capital on the 2sth,
The forces of Gen. Zaragoza are li,OOO and these
5000 will be incorporated with them and more are
striving daily
You will rememberthat some time ago Zuloaga de-
POSED MARQUEE aud placed Cobos in his stead. Vow
ing revenge, MARQUEE coaxed away most OF his CON-

with which he bought up most Of the rest, and then
took possession of Ex President Zuloaga, Gen.
Cobos Gen. Benayides and Col. Alcebal and others,
whom he sent prisoners TO Vera Cruz, and shlpped

These combined forces then attacked Gen. La

There s, and has been, great disCord in the
French camp between Lorencez and his officers on
the one hand, aud SaIgny ana Amonte on the other.

The Rerista Measual, published in Mexico, con-

1862, thanking him and the Mexican army for the
kindness the wounded French had received in the
hospitals. 1t s signed by Victor Neron the French

A private letter in the Dtars0 tHavana), dateC
Vera Cruz the 23i, says:
"In view Of the result of the 5tb, Gen. Loreucei
ordered the retreat, and the French expedtionar,
forces now IN Orzaoa, with all hs artillery
carts aud ammunition. The arrival Of REINFORCE
uenis from France is looked forward TO. The stroDi
Positions OF the ChiquiDuto have been again occu
pied by the Mexican forces, in such a manner thai
all communications between Vera Cruz and OrlzIba

seven days since OIL board the transport steamer
Seine, with 200 soldiers, mules, and military goods

and join Count Lorencez, but has given up this idea

The black yonit is by no moons benign.
d" This is 70 the present date the situation of the
French forces in this land. 1t Is hoped that re-
endorsements Of men will reach them sOon but, al.
though there are those who hope IT, / have been
assured that none are expected for some time
Another letter OF same date from Vera Cruz gays:
q" Three successive charges were made with extra
ordinary valor by the Zouaves and the Cha6seurs de
ViDceDnes; and IN al three were they beaten back
by superior numbers and the advantages Of the
Aforementioned positions, their files suffering great
Losses. Chiquihuite is again occupied by the Mex-
cans, whose works and Notifications were intact,
which proves that BngsdIer-(jeD. Galvez who pro
nOuuced for Almonte, did not dettroy them, as he
pretended in portion OF his pronunci 4nlento."
From Jalaps, Nay 3, | had: Marquee Lar been
routed By Carbalal who forced him % prccipitatc
fight, CAPTURING all the artillery that had been taken
by him from AlatTistc' Altogether the accounts
have onaniulity quite unusual. One account in
the ProgreS0 de Jaiapa Of the 10th says: ." Accord
ing to latest accounts the enemy, Oh retreaing TO
theu encanpment on the afternoon OF the 9th, left
hOrs de combat 200 msn. We took on the field $50
wounded finding among them 30 French! These
have been taken 70 the hospitals" &c.
Gen. Almonte was present, but took no part in
the hght and was the first 70 arrive in OIizlba
Tie Mexican lOss IL stated at So killed l32 wounded
and IL taken prisoners OF missing. This eectng
hardly probable and is doubtless much exaggerated
Tie towns OF Alvarado, lila del Carmen. and Pc
rote, are said to have declared for Almonte on tie
IOIb, I'm, and eth ult respectively, in the same
terms az Vera Cruz and COrdoya.
On the i2th the French finished the delivery of
the House at Vera Cruz 10 the authorize,
appointed by Almonte. The receipts Of this are
after paying all expenses, 70 be depOsed in an iron
cafe having three keys-One 10 he given TO each Of
