The news from Mexico. by way Of Ha-
vans, is to the Esd ult Tie alliance be-
tween the European invaders Of Mexico
has been violently broken. The repre-
sentatives Of the Allied Powers held a
conference at Orizsba on The 10th of April,
at which the Spanish and English Pleni-
potentiary used every argument to induce
the French to adhere 10 the stipulatioDs
Of the treaty and not to impose upou the
Mexicans form OF government not in &C.
cordance with their wishes. They also
protesttd d against the French shelter given
TO Almonte. an open eonspiralor against
the Mexican Government, as well as the
French readiness to place the Austrian
Archduke on the throne. Napoleon's
Representative refusing to be guided by
the policy Of the Allies. they-lhe Span.
ish and English Ministers - formally
withdrew from the Convention. General
Prim, in addressing his officers after this,
said Of the French .,....

not depart without falling to our honor
History will Judge between them and u.s.
Couriers were sent Immediately 10 Mex

even in Vera Cruz, followed one of thu
French battallions on their way to the en-
campments of Tehuacan. The govera
