The City of Mexico correspondent of the
Times says that the arrest of Liberals and those
suspected Of Liberalism are so numerous that
il will soon take one half the nation to guard
the prisoners. The most barbarous orders are
issued by the French commanders. One is that
every man wearing leather shall be hanged.
The occupation of Tehuacan caused a great
sensation, owing to its importance. Ii was
feared that all the Austrian detachments on the
road would be captured
The Liberals held the road between Mon
terey and Matamoras. The French General
Brincount, at Chihuahua demands reinforce
meDts as his column was not strong enough for
NegrelIs forces.
The French garrison is kept shut up in the
State ot Durango by the Liberal General
Patoni.
A French column of 1,200 men were unable
TO move out of their encampment, forty miles
from Tampico, as the guerillas had captured all
their mules and horses.
The Liberals hold the main towns in the State
of Mexico. No one dares TO 60 a league outside
of the city of Mexico.
