From the New Orleans Picsyunel
The RFisish steamer Clyde arrived at Havana
on ihe 9th, bringing dates from ths City Of
Mexico to the 27Ih and Vera Cruz to tho 18th
ultimo.
There was no important news MinAlillan
and Tabsseo had been abandoned By the
French, swing to their gnhealthinese," aud
blockade of that part Of the coast had been
proclaimed.
We are sbls to give today much later news
from Monterey than was possessed at the cap
ital city. Gen. BAs,ine vss organizing an ex-
petition sesinsE Gen. P5rfi,io D az. Of The Stats
Of Osjsca Gen. Hiramol was in Mexico. TIE
families of D5bado aud JusTsz were ct San
Luis, under the hospitsbls care Of the Mexican
impeT alist forces. Gen. Msjia was At Mate
huals, snd D1blsdo appeared uncertain As g
whether to attack or not. Il was still thought
that he was trusting for personal arrange
msnt with the Intervention.
Instead of capturing Guadslsjsrs, Urags had
suffered q defeat Al ths Cerito de San Miguel,
near that city, losing some three hundred pTis-
oneTs and all his material CT var. Gen Donai
had returned to that city and the inhabitants
turned out en- masse to greet him
We are iaytTed with \ copy Of the MonGeFey
(1exico) MOTsisg Star, OF ths 25:h Of March.
We tss renewed evidence in this journal OF
the existence Of ths most amiclble relations be-
tween TIE authorities of Texas snd those Of
Nusvo Leon, Of hostility to JasreE, and Of equal
friendship to ths French. Tia following para.
gTsph gives the news in nus shell:
A Col. Ortega, of the JusTtz party, forced his
way through the mountains and has made the
town of Aonlemorelos pronounce against Gov.
| VidGuYTi. OItegs will j liR the remsulipss
troops to make sn attack on this city. II Is also
stated tkss the RssctiOnary General Lopez is
sisU coming through Tbs pass of the mountains
with large force The troops Of President
Jusrsz sTe still at SAltiio, aud report says that
they sro cOnstsutly deserving The French are
now marching on the rear ef JCa-es. Governor
/ Yi5aurTi has over 2 coo men TO oppose these
farees, commanded bs Gen. Hnoj9ss and Gan.
| QuToga. These two gentlemen are cid and ex-
perispcsd military ehieftsins, and conseq Gensly
there is nothing to fear for the safety of our
city
Hinojosa and Quirogs are veterans of the old
Was, and were oaee al enmity with YidaaITi
The following items give token Of feelings
ret very friendly toward the United statssi

foreigners st Pied.ss Negrzs, sskiRg for their
expulsion as being seditious and Incompatible
TO both S;stes under existing circumstances,
which has been seeeded to.
! On the otber hand, the Corfederstos DO not
| fail to give them fenss and to violate the nea-
trality laws, as sppssrs from the following Incl
dent, which they well qualify as gross out
rage:
We sincerely regret to learn the oeear-
rsnee mentioned in the following letter, received
| by one of the most respectable commercial
houses Of this city, dated 81 Piedrss NegzAs. Il
is certainly strange that persons in high posi-
ton and standing, representing the Con:edeIats
Government, should make usesf such scandal
Gus and unlawful means TO accomplish their
objects, thereby compromising the neutrality
laws, ard the Siss and generous understanding
now existing and 50 recently mAniiesied on The
Psyt OF Gov. VidGurTi, toward the authorities oi
Texas.

cannot, we hspe, receive the sanction CT the
general commanding of Texas, nor will meei
the consent of the people thereof We hops
sincerely, in futars, mere rigid observance o.
the lsws, respecting matters Of such \ serious
character, Gnd the voice of wisdom and justice
viii be heard instead of acts Of desperation and
sn unwonted infringem Of all that is eqaitA
bic snd Just. The responsibility rests upon Ii;
heads Of those who have COMMITTED ths oaiTAge
and we cannot bat hope they will soon receive
their deserved chsstisement.
