NEW YORK. Nov. IL.
Steamship Columbia, from Havana and New
Orleans, arrived tonight.
Hdoana, Nor. 1Oth.-The English steamer
Trent arrived on the 9th from Vera Cruz,
bringing dates from Mexico to the 23d ult..
and from Vera Cruz to Nov. 1st.
Gen. Liceago, a Mexican, who sold himself
to the French, occupied Jalapa without re-
slstance, but on the next day Col. Deaz Miron
ihterposed himself between Jalapa and Vera
Cruz. No tidings have since been heard from
Jalapa.
The French army, now under command of
Gen. Bazaire, has been divided into three di-
visions. Gen. Miramon commands the third,
which consist principally OF renegade Mexi-
cans under Marquee and others.
Gen. Salegny was SOON to leave for France
The correspondent of the Diaro of this city
reports that two receptions took place at the
Palace of AlmOnte, one on the Sth and the
other on the 18th ult., and he states that at
the latter letter, purporting to be an auto
graph of Maximillian, was produced and
passed around to the guests, in which the
Archluke accepts the throne Of Mexico, and
in which nothing is said about conditions
Inv ouhC SoiiCopouucut says Lut eutuuSl-
asm in Mexico in favor of the empire borders
on frenzy.
From Tampico we learn recently that the
French in Hestaca were attacked and got the
worst OF it, losing 80 men besides horses and
ammunition.
There were about 400 French soldiers in
TampicO, which place was surrounded by
Mexican troops, and battle was constantly
expected in the streets, which, from the great
odds against them, cannot but result unfavor-
ably for the French.
BY the Spanish mail steamer from Cadiz, we
learn from Tenerifiee that on the 18th ult the
rebel corsair Georgia arrived there in fifteen
days from Simons Bay, where she had been in
company with the Alabama. The Vanderbilt
was approaching the bay, when the cOrsairs
fed precipitately.
The Georgia had been ordered to leave Ten
eriffee, but on maniiesting her need for some
coal and provisions, she was allowed to fake
them and remain until the morning of the
18th, to await the arrival of the Cadiz packet
The latter did not arrive until the afternoon
of that day, and at II o'clock A. NJ. the Geor-
gia was ordered to sea, and steamed away to
the northeast around the island She has
probably gone southwark. Her ninth and last
prize was the ship Bold Hunter, Capt. Crosby,
who, with his crew of fourteen men, was left
at Teneriie and taken care OF by our worthy
consul, Mr.. Dolney.
The state Of affairs at San Domingo remains
unchanged. The new Captain General, Var
gas, had arrived, and been favorably received
His arrival will probably alter the aspect of
things on that island.
Gen. Rivers arrived here very quietly. Lit
tie attention has been paid him, and few knew
OF his presence here.
The San Domingo rebels are at the very
doors OF the capital, and Gen. Guandara, on
his way to San Cristobal, four leagues, had
three encounters with them, always dispensing
them.
