Successes OF the Mexican Patriots

The New Orleans Picaynne has intelligence
that the Liberals are sweeping everything be-
fore them in the more western States of Mex
leo, even down to the shores Of the Pacific.
The withdrawal of the Imperial troops from
that direction, to meet the more pressing
danger in New Leon, Coahuila, and Tamau-
lipas, perhaps left tho door open for them. 1t
is also probable that the large numbers Of
Americans who have recently gone as miners,
colonists, and adventurers to Chihuahua, So
nora, and Sinaloa have had something to do
with it; for, though they went there with the
encouragement of the Empire, the most of
them, apart from the evanescent prejudices
acquired during our civil war, are Liberals
in political sentiments, and will naturally
combine with that party, or finally set up for
themselves.
Mexico is full of Americans, "divided, dis,
cordant, beIligerent," driven there by ouI
civil war, and of Europeans following the
fortune of deadly European dynasty, Some
of them, rays the Ptc6!yHMe, arc in tho inter
ests Of the Union; many of them in the inter,
ests of the late Coafederacy These are ad,
herents of MaSilnliani those of tho Empress
Charlotte; others of the Emperor Napoleon
whlo the greater number are prudently look,
ing out for number one. What national
spirit or sentiment, If any, they will ulti,
mately make up, remains to be seen.

THE CRoPs.-The corn crop in Dorchester

nj a ,ndant yield. The wheat, which is all
harvested, and much of 1t on its way to mar

MYSTERIOUS NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. COM
munity has been thrown into state of pain
full surprise, occasioned by the sudden dis
appearance of Mr.. Richard L. Robinson, the
celebrated caterer under Lancaster Hall, who
has been missing since Friday evening.
After tea Friday evening, Mr.. & Mrs. Robin
son went to Lancaster Hall, where a dance
was to come off. But the affair was post
poned and they went into the shop. Mr..
r. accompanied his wife home at quarter be-
fore 10 o'clock, remaining in tae house three
quarters of an hour, and then left to go to the
house of Mrs. Prebe on Danforth near Brack-
EFT street, to take some ice creams from the
cans, stating to his wife that he should return
about half past IL o'clock. He went to the
dwelling of Mrs. Preble, and having transacted
his business there, left that house at 20
minutes past II o'clock, since which time
nothing has been seen or heard OF him.
Information was communicated to the City
Marshal Saturday morning of the disappear
anee of Mr.. R., and the police force, with
others, have been endeayoring to obtain some
clue to this mysterious disappearance, but
without the slightest success. Up to late
hour Sunday night not a trace of him could
be obtained.
The affair is a mystery that time alone
can unravel. There was nothing either in the
pecuniary or domestic affairs OF Mr.. R., that
would cause him trouble, and this fact adds
to the mystery of his absence.
