VERA Cruz, April rs, 1862.
We have received letter from Vera Cruz of the 10th
ult and the first number Of FL Vera Czano which was
published that day in the heroic city, The letter
states that his Excelency the Marquis de los Casejos
had delivered the Custom House 10 the French and that
these in turn had given it TO the authorities selected
by General Almonte.
The Vera Csusano states positively that the French
began their march the 9th in the direction of Pueba
and that it certain they would reach that place
without any bloodshed, General Zaragoza had
doned the heights Of Aculancngo, where it said
going to offer resistance The same paper
addsIt seems that General Zaragoza made this move
nent with The object Of attacking the forces Marquee
which were approaching him. It is stated that they
met and Zaragoza defeated when he fell back upon
Perote.,'
It stated in Vera Cruz that retiring from the
1t is also stated that General Galvez separated his
troops from the forces commanded by Zaragoza which
has greatly weakened his power.
General Don Jose NJ Galvez, who commanded brigade
OF Juarezs troops has pronounced IN favor Of General
Amonte, his tro ps following his example The garrison
Chalchlcouma had also "pronounced - for as they
said the people ait evident the French have
not come here to Cypress TO deprive nation
its Independence but to assist u.s. They have therefore
proclaimed only the cessation Of the authority
Bento Juarez, but the naming the first magistrate OF
the country the most worthy Of it's sons that is General
Almonte The Jatauncidm emo was solemnized by Te
Deum the Host through the streets
The Eco publishes the following
On the morning OF the I'D the English Commissioners
Puebla confer with senior Dobado the Minister
Of Foreign Affairs OF the Juarez government and
ciude treaty between the English and Mexican
tions to secure peace and good understanding be-
tween them for the future. 1t is stated that
while the English party, in their coach,
passing by the advanced detachment Of General Tara
gozas forces the plenipoentares OF her Britannia
Jesty were detained and i-treated with rough words
the documents they had with them torn pieces
and TO end the matter they were taken prisoners and
carried to the headquarters OF General Zaragoza.
This act, unparalleled in the annals of diplomacy, will
scarcely convince the English Commissioners what they
might expect and hope from constitutional government
that has such chiefs and such soldiers ignorant only
Of the involabilty which International right has
toned ministers penipotentary but of the
tesy simple foreign travellers-f they taken
TO DO such-who without warlike instruments, and
with tho olive branch Of peace, passing through
their camps.
The Eco de Europa states, upon what il pre-.
tends is excellent authority, that tho army
in the capital for the suppression of revolutionary
attempts which were in progress there The remaining
5000 divided between Perote and Canada do
IAtapa but IL seems that the forces from this last
point had precipitately marched away the route
Tehuacan in order to avoid encounter with the French
army. Their retreat had, however, been cut OF by
Marquee.
General Lorencez has been promoted to the rank of
General Of Division, with which rank he will command
brigadier General Delonay expected TO arrive 10
take the second command.
