Mexican News.
NEW YoRK, December IS.-The Herald's
Vera Cruz correspondent states that the
last new from the United States had caused
a profound sensation and was regarded by
ali as an omen OF an approaching 5porm.
The news that Major General John A. Logan
had been appointed Minister TO the Repub-

or since the establishment of the Empire
was put on foot, has produccG so great a

forced and that some of the United States
naval vessels were taking soundings in
French harbors also produced great excite
