MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.
We have received very exciting news from
Mexico, brought by the steamship Sheldrake,
which arrived at this port last evening, from
Havana on the 10th inst. 1t is stated that the
Mexican guerilas have cut of the communication
of the French army between Vera Cruz and Ori-
zaba. and are annoying the French and seriously
interfering with their advance in various ways.
There is report that the invaders have been
again repulsed in front of Pueba with great loss,
and that force of four thousand French had been
attacked by Mexican cavalry and defeated, with
loss of two thousand killed and wounded. The
Mexican guerilas are said to be operating exten
sively and somewhat effectively with that unique
military weapon, the lasso.
