French Rovorsos in Mexico

ItlA0ll AsONCAoGS IL AAAS@hANO'
The latost news from Mexico indi-
Gates that the French forces are getting
into trouble in oil directions. The
Mexican guorrillas continue to intercept
Econvoys, carry off muleteors, capture
mules in great numbers, and virtually
stop the supplies for the French army.
\ report received by way of Huvann,
says that Gen. Forey mas been forced to
issue bills in sums of FIVE dollars, and
it is thought that owing to the contin-
ued decrease in specie circulation, be
will have to issue them as low as ono
dollar, in order to make necessary pur-
chasss. These bills are drawn on tho
Imperial Treasury.
Scarcely was Jalapa evacuated by the
French when it was occupied by the
Mexican troops, and now the French
have an enemy in front, on the hanks
and in the Fear-everywhore in fact
Tampico is again in the ha ndg Of Garza,
who took possession Of the plaza as the
French troops evacuated, scarcely Civ
ing them an opportunity to mbark on
their transports. The Mexican Ortil.
lcry opened upon the vessels in tho
harbor, and brisk engagement onsucd,
which resulted in the destruction Of a
French war vessel which had grounded
on the bar, and driving away the fleet.
The evacuation Of Tampico became
necessary, because the climate was de-
stroying the French forces, without
boneGting the cause.
Puebla is defended by one hundred
and eighty-sevcn pieces of artillery, Of
the heaviest calibre. It's Notifications
are pronounced impregnable, and IT'S
garrison is over thirty thousand strong.
The greatest enthusiasm animates the
, defenders, and its commander, Gonzales
Ortcga, is convinced that it cannot be
taken.
The French were completely repulsed
at Acapulco, on the Pacific, after sever.
- erul days bombarImcnt of tho forts ),
and serious injury was inflicted on sew
eral f,their vessels.
Comonfort remains in Tacubaya with
r his troops, and the enthusiasm for the
, cause in tho city of Mexico is represen .
ted as beyond all description.
Everywhere in the Republic the ut,
J most confidence prevails Of their abilit y
to defeat the French whenever and
wherever they may offer battle. And
all anxiously await tho grand advance
Of Gen. Forey upon Puobla, which is
now the Mexican Sebastopol.

adoption of the eleventh of the series

the doctrine that slavery is Divine

it is right. Notwithstanding, for near

has repeatedly pronounced slavery a.

slavery has now been abrogatcd by ev-
cry Christian and civilized nation of the

But, friend Of mino tells me these
gentlemen do not approve Of slavery
that they are not aware Of the full ex-

A Voice from North Carolina.

The Raleigh Standard says, in spoak
ing of the rebel authorities at Richmond;
They labored to break down the ol d
Government and thoy would wreck
tho new one before they would part with
the carcass upon which the vulturOs
were settled. Their motto was divide
and destroy, and their motto now is
consolidate, rulo or ruin. Hence
they nrc destructives, and those who
oppose them Conservatives. We still
walk the soil and breathe the air Of
freedom, and are not to be influenced
in our course by the Establishments or
the frowns Of power.

Extracts from the Speech of
John Van Buren,,
at the Great War Meeting held in
Now York, March G, 1868.

Many four readers have doubtless
heard that John Van Buren has recent
y come out for n vigorous prosocutio n
of the war. There is no doubt about
tho fact, and we hail it as a cheering
omen that the more sensible and saga
Gious leaders Of the Democratic party
have determined to repudiate and dis p
countcnance tho course ofsuch dcma-
gogues as Vallandigham, and to unite
with all friends of tho Government in
sustaining its efforts to crush the re
bclion. 1t is true that Mr.. Van Buren,
was last fall in favor Of stopping the
war and letting the "wuyward sisters
depart in peace" but he has no doubt
heard the roll of patriotic thunder from
our brave soldiers, and is prudently ma
king haste to "Gee from the wrath to
come" We give few extracts from his
speech at the great War Meeting held
in New York on the 9th inst, aud com
mend thom to the special attention Of

willingness to interfere with slavery in
tho States. 1t recognized, in the full
est extent, the right of the different
States to have slavery if they chose, and
his entire indisposition to interfere with
it. Notwithstanding that, several States
seeded from the Union, as they said
They held convontion and resolved
themselves out. Their representatives
abandoned their seats in Congress, al
though they had control Of tho Senate
and House Of Representatives, and the
Supreme Court of tho United States;
they retired from the Congress Of the
United States. They went further and
set up Government of their own, or
said they did, Now, you all remember
tho debates between Webster and
IIayne. on that subject, of the right to
secedo from the Union, Mr.. Webster
told Mr.. Hayne what has since proven
true-that that was mere rebellion, and
that, when they put it in operation,
they would see that, in order to carry
out what they assumed to be the right
of peaceful secession and uullifcation,
they must use force, and be met by
force, and the law Of bayonets must de-
eide the controversy. Applause. Thi:
occurred. They assumed to set up 9
Government, under the right which they
claimed, to destroy the Union. They
formed Congress and elected Presi-
dent. But they we're not content Will
this. They seized tho property Of tn,
United Statcs-they scizod its forts, III
ships, its treasure. They fred upon
the flag Of the Uoitcd States at For
Sumpter, and claimed the right to excr
else the power Of n Sovereign Govern
ment. Now, you will bear in mind
every fail. minded man in the Uuitor
States will bear in mind-that up tC
this moment not one hair of their head
had been injured. No right of an.
Southern mau had been invaded. His
tory will record that the world neve
witnessed rebellion against q govern
mental authority before, whero the reb
els could not lay their fingers upon t
thing to show that either property, thei
liberty, or their rights had been, in tn
slightest particular, Invaded. Grca
APPLAUSE This being the fact, thu
city of New York sent forth 5000
men to quell this rebellion. Her cap

srut 200, 600 men, and am to argue, il
