fCairo Dispatch to the Chicago Timss.,
The Memphis Ballnfa learns from, 4
gentleman recently from Mexico some
very interesting particulars of the condi'
ton of affairs in that unhappy country.
He was with the French army two
months and three days, andin that Pc I'd
was present at the taking and almost ell.
tire destruction Of fsixty-three towns All
Americans who were found were 'nur-
dered, as French troops are exceedingly
hostile 70 them Our inform mt was
present when the fmperialist killed Cap
tain Frazier and has two daughters at
place called Preside, twenty-eight leagues
from Mazatlan. They were shot. the
murder being by consent of Generals
Minnac. Negrete aud Losado. Al place
called San Isabel two Amtricans We're
murdered, and their bodies. after being
stripped, were left in the road This
atrOcity was perpetrated about one nun
dred aud forty-five miles from Gantala
iara Our informant desired priest AT
the next village 10 obtain the names of
the murdered men, so their friends might
be informed. but the priast declined. His
life would be endangered. All Ameri'
cans in Mexico have been either driven
into the mountainous districts OF Sonora
with the Jnarez party. or compelled to
abandon their property and save their
lives by getting ont OF Mexico. There
are no Americans in chihuahua. OF any
part of the country between Texas and
the city of Mexico. Thirty thousand
Americans who have been driven ont Of
Mexico are California advenlnrers, and
stand ready to march into Sonora If our
government will pick out any one of the
half dozen causes of quarrels with the
imperialists. Our informant says the
whole Mexican people pray for the conf
ing of the United States armies, and are
enthusiastic for theeXpulsion OF the i'm
peralists, and the annexation of Mexico
to the United States, but are utterly
without arms or means of resistance to
their foreign rulers Maximilian, when ur
informent left Mexico, had only eight
thousand Austrians and four thousand
Belgian troops, bnt some Others are now
OH their way from Europe. AT Mazatlan
all Americans were ordered out OF the
country. The American consul, DIR. Car:
men, exerted his utmost influence, and
they were finally allowed twelve hours
TO charter a steamer. and abandoning
their houses and other property, leave
for California Before Onr informant lett
Mexico there was an attempted inSurrec-
ton of the church party, who rose as
promised. The insurgents marched out
on the Gaudalajara road from the city OF
Mexico, but were put down, and sixteen
generals and priests shot. If the Ameri-
can army goes into Mexico, the most inl-
portant consideration will be carrying
along sufficient supply of provisions,
as the whole country has been sacked by
contending armies. Corn was Sc a bush
ell in the city of Mexico. No idea can be
formed of the terrible state Of society in

Germans and one Englishman keeping
little stores in Guaymast. In Cinaloa,
cotton, sugar, and tobacco plantations
have been laid waste In Durango, thore
are now only three mines that are being
worked In Ilisco the infamous Losado
rules In chihuahua all business is sus-
pended, all mines closed, and all the
Americans in Zacatecas have had to
abandon their stock and the mines, and
leave. Mr. Ralolph, the superintendent
of valuable mine, had to leave. In no
part of Mexico can anything be got to
eat except tortillas, corn cakes, and frie-
iole beans. There is O scarcity of beds,
chairs. stools, knives. forks and spoons
in the country in short, there is an ell.
