with the mission to report on the relative
position of the lion and his master
The occupation of the city of Parral
by the Juarists, is claimed bv them as a
great victory over the French. The affair
is thus explained by the Imperial press:
! A French detachment of about seventy
strong, encamped at the post of Campo
Florida, went some time since to Parral To
collect few thousand dollars of taxes.
! While in the city, the commander of the
French detachment learned that con-
siderable force was in sight, and was get
ting ready for an attack. The French
! party intrenched themselves in one of the
houses of the city, and bravely waited for
! the enemy. The Juarists numbered $50
men and three howitzers.
Confident in their numerical superiority
! they surrounded the French and opened
fire. The latter defended themselves
from morning until evening. As night
was fast approaching and their ammuni-
ton exhausted the chief of the detach-
ment gave orders to charge with the bay
onet and cut through the enemy. The
charge was made with the greatest sue
cess. The French thus succeeded in
opening passage through the ranks of
the enemy and marched in good order
upon Campo Florida. In this affair the
French had ten men killed and twenty
three wounded. The next day Colonel
Cousin brought back the wounded.
Semi-Otiicial news received from Chi
huahua announce that ex-President Jua-
rez had left Elpaso on his way to Santa
Fe. Still it is not presumable that Juarez
will consent to leave Mexico. If COM
pelled to abandon Elpaso he will likely
go to Sonora, small portion of which Is
only in possession of the French or guer-
rillas, which the climate and soil render
easily defensible.
Guerrillas, thieves and robbers infest
every corner of the country, and are ex-
ceedingly troublesome in Jalopa. The peo-
pie of Teznitlan were attacked by the
Juarists in the church on Sunday, and a
few women and children were killed. The
chief of the garrison having gathered all
the men he could, charged upon the guer-
rillas, killed thirty of them and compelled
their prompt retreat.
