Back 90 France--The RevoIution in ~.
Doningo-Ei.t OF Arrivals and Depnr-
tures Of blockade Runners.
From Oar Special Correspondent.
By French transport that came in yesterday
from Vera Cruz, the Turrenne, we have dates from
that place 10 the lltb, but no news. The Diar'o
Havana says it has heard that the news brought
by the Bertbolet is confirmed"
The Bertholet arrived on the 10Th. having left
Vera Cruz on the 9Th, and on her arrival all sorts of
rumors were circulated. Comonfort had been de-
feated, while on his way to aid Gen Ortega. by Gen.
Berthier, but no dates or particulars were given,
and as We, we have nothing to prove it to be any
thing but a canard. Gen. Ortega was reported 10
have sent haQs Of truce TO Forey Offering 10 capitu-
late Puebls on conditions, and that Forey bad ex-
acted unconditional surrender.
commlsson Of ladies bad gone out 10 beg Forey
not 10 destroy the city; that Forey had promised not
TO fire single cannon, as he had abundant other
means Of obliging the city to surrender forgot TO
ada that this commission of ladies was cent by the
city Government. Another, that Gen. Ortegs made
AN armed sortie with Is, 900 men, (the French have
never before admitted that he had many and was
repulsed and driven into The city. You may Judge
Of the truth Of all this, having as ample means as we
possess, VIZ internal evidence. DO not believe Q
word Of il all.
What is true, however. is that the French trans
ports are all busily employed in taking back to
France the provisions they had stored ~ Vera Cruz,
and selling all they can TO tue inhabitants OF Vera
Cruz. Is this a step backwardf Does 1t fore
shadow the return of Forey and army
Some small reGnforcemenis which arrived at Vera
Cruz have been sent to OriZaba The health OF the
" Heroic CITY" is SAID TO be good-ihat feD cases
Of hllck vomit have as yet appeared.
! from Puerto Rico we have dates 10 the 81. Moth
| ing o. interest had transpired up 10 that time.
! From st. Domingo we have dates to the 9Th. The
correspondence of Lucas de Pena the chief of the late
revolution, mas been captured and found TO impl-
cate the Haitian General Simon Sam, who IT
seems not only conniyed at but aided the revou-
ton. There seems some probability that 1t was so,
ss President Gefirard has dismissed Gen. Sam, Who
has been superseded by Gen. Phllanthrops Noel.
| We have no later dates from Venezuela, bat tse
Boletia MeredatR Of Puerto Rico OF the I'd mentions
the arrival Of several families refugees from the
civil war in that country, and that more expect
ed Il probably will turn out as IL has with the
lamous refugees who came here from New Orleans
almost all have gone back.
! Quite a patriotic commotion has been caused by
an invention Of Spaniard called Monturio in Bar
celona. IL is called FL barco pez," or the Fish
boat, and s 10 be submarine affair.
! We are told that in the opinion OF scientific n
in Spain the affair is completely agreeable with All
rules Of theory, and that all that now Is wanting is
the fund.- to put the thing in practical operation.
SO grand performance was given at the lacon
Theater last night in benefit Of said funds All the
employees Of the Government had been morally
forced 10 purchase tickets and the house pretty
fall. subscription is being raised here, and
another in MatGnzas, where ball was gwen In
