there one day when Col. Candy sent from
Fort Craig his Assistant A6jutant General
with peremptory orders to Col. Slough, to
fall back with his column to Fort Union,
which was Immediately obeyed. 1t wsuld
seem we crippled the enemy in the hight at
/ Apachee Canon more than was believed at
first. We have reliable information that
we killed over 100 men, including six
officers, and wounded over 200. We have
now prisoners at Fort Union eleven officers
and eighty-two privates. The enemy i'm
mediately fell back to Santa Fe, and are
again, it is believed concentrating at the
old position at Albuquerque.
Yesterday an express arrived from Col.
Candy, saying that he would attack Fort
Craig on the 3lst of March, and if the en-
emy is at Albuquerque, with ordinary
travelling Col. Candy is in their immediate
vicinity, and as our column $50 miles from
Albuquerque only leave this morning, he
will not be supported by this column, and
with 900 regulars, will have to encounter
their forces unless he can slip by and join
the column which leaves here this morning
1t is understood that Kit Carson, with
new Mexican regiment, 700 strong, Will
remain and garrison Fort Craig.
1t is rumored that Gen. Steele and Bay
lor are marching into New Mexico with
500 additional men.
1t is highly probable that important
events will transpire before another express
leaves for the States.
Well authenticated reports reach here
that the Texans 1000 strong, are en-
trenching themselves at Santa Fe, and that
Col. Candy having strengthed his COM
mand uD to 1900, is ffty miles south of
Santa Fe. This may enable our two col
umns to act together, and make US 2,400
strong. If this is the case we will have
one of the bloodiest battles on record.

New YORK, Adril 24-The Spanish
steam frigate Isabel Catholico has arrived
from Havana on the 18th.
The Diaro states that persons direct from
New Orleans report the rebel defences are
much exaggerated; that Forts Jackson and
st. Phillip have been abandoned and the
cannon taken away, and that there is moth
ing to prevent the Federal fleet from sail
ing direct to New Orleans. The Diaro does
not vouch for the truth of these reports.
Later news from Vera Cruz had reached
Havana.
After an unsatisfactory conference be-
tween the allied commanders, the French
General decided to march his division
against the city of Mexico, taking upon
himself the responsibility. The English
and Spanish plenipotentaries thereupon de-
cided to withdraw their troops.
1t was stated that the JGarez Govern
ment is ready to give every satisfaction to
I, the allies in the matter of claims, but will
not listen to the idea of a monarchy, and
in case the allies advance to the capital
would retire from it.

TIMES SPECIAL.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-An officer of
artillery in town tonight from near War
renton Junction, reports the rebels in strong
force on the south bank of the Rappahan-
mock in the direction of Gordonsville. Gen.
Ewell is said to be at the crossing of the
river where the Railroad bridge was burn
ed, with 500 men.
General G. W. Smith is at GordonsvilIe
strongly entrenched with 10000 men, and
Gen. Jackson is crossing over from the
Shenandoah valley to unite his 5000, max
ing a total column of 46, 900 men.
If the figures are reliable, we are in sufi-
cient force in front of Manassas to manage
this rebel army.
am assured by gentleman of this city
whose position brings him in business con-
tact with NJ. Mercier, that his mission has
reference only to the large amount of vslu-
BILE tobacco belonging to the French Gov
ernment. The property is known as the
| Belmont tobacco.
1t is said that NJ. Mercier has undoubt-
edly examined somewhat into the condition
of the bogus Confederacy, in order to report
to the Emperor the true state of affairs.

and proceeded to Elizabeth city, where a
strong rebel force was reported to be en-
trenching themselves on Saturday and an
advance was made upon the rebels.

The proposals for the Pacific coast are
very much higher than formerly and those

ana, Illinois and other States they are low
