CAIRO, May 26-The New Orleans
True Delta OF the Dist has the following
from Mexico:
The steamer Mary arrived last night,
bringing $50 refugees, and reports that
a heavy battle had taken place between
the French and Mexicans, 1000 strong,
under General Nasgarette. at San Louis,
in which the French were thoroughly
defeated This intelligence, though Of
vast importance, is doubted by many !
intelligent Mexicans in our city for sew
eral reasons The Mexican Consul we
are told, had no intelligence Of this vic
tory. and nc usually receives the earliest
intelligence Of these movements, were
they known, from various advices.
Although Gen. Nasgarette was march
ing his troops with the intention of
giving the enemy battle-the distance
to be accomplished was over 300 miles
over burning country in which there
was no water, was too great in the
opinion of those familiar with the
country, for human energy to endure
