letter written by Admiral Juren de la Cra-
Were 10 gentleman of this city announces that tic
French amy will not move before everything is
ready for great march upon the City Of Mexico.
The intention of Gen. Forey being TO avoid any
DELAY resulting from lack Of ammunition or pro.
visions, lie prefers to postpone his departure from
Orzaba few days. rather than be obliged to SOP
on the way. In consequence the Admiral does not
believe that tie forward movement of the whole
corDs Tarmtf can be commenced before the irst
week of December.
The Notifications Of 0rizaba are TO be lef, in tic
condition in which they have been put by Gen. de
l. rencez. and nothing will be added to them for the
present Gen. Forey is there making everything
ready for an advance.
Tie guerriIlas have entirely ceased troubling The
French. The communications between Vera Cruz
and Orizaba arc perfectly safe, and single travellers
are seen daily going from one place to another with
ont disturbance
The Admiral is of opinion that nothing can pre-
vent the French from reaching the City Of Mexico
in the course of next January, although be says
our army will, Ierhaps have to light the Mexi-
cans once or twice on their way to thai city.
The yomilo had disappeared from Vera Cruz, and
everything was assuming cheerful aud prosperous
appearance Emigrants were slowly arriving nom
France and New. Orleans, bringing with them vari-
GUS kinds of goods principally designed for tue use
Of the army. Foreign mechanics, and among them
a few Americans, had also made their appearance IN
that city attracted by the hope of getting some rail-
road contracts for which the French Government
has advertised.
Another letter states that the French Government
is pressing the construction of five steamers gned
to connect Havrc with Vera Cruz, through the City

Of buying provisions from for the Of the army.

GRN. ScuENCK AND THE ShAvR-CArcH-
ER.-Afler Gen. Schenck's arrival at Cum
berland, oae of his first decisions, says a
correspondent of an Ohio paper, was very
characteristic. A secesh colonel had sold
his negro 70 tde confederate government,
taking pay, of course, in script. The negro,
employed in Notifications, managed TO es-
cape to Cumberland, where he spread HIM
self considerably. A constable, knowing
the circumstance, and wishing to turn a
penny, had the negro thrown into prison as
an escaped slave. Gen. Schenck, hearing
the facts, sent for the parties. BY what
right" he asked OF the constable, " do you
hold this man in prison!" AS fugitive
from service" "Don't you know that he
escaped from service of the rebels ?" "Yes;
but we have law in Maryland that covers
the case, General" And | have a law
upon which it can be decided. Col Porter
SET that negro at large, and put this consta-
BILE in his place." The astonished snapper
up Of triAes was marched off to the cell
lately occupied by his proposed victim. At
ter being detained there precisely the same
number of days he had imprisoned the poor
darkey, he was set at large, fully impressed
with the belief that your grim-visaged gen.
eral was not TO be trife6 with.
