Inefe Is no doubt whatever, as it has this
morning been obtained from an official urce,
nat Tins Government has telegraphed Minister
bigelow, requiring him to make certain repre-
sentatlons to the French government concern
ing the delay Of the French troops in evacuat-
ing Mexico. Whatever reliance may be plac-
ed in the article taken from Flakes Galveston
Bulletin, stating that Gen. Sedgwick had
crossed the Rio Grande on Thursday with
brigade OF troops and occupied Matamoras it
y Is certain that the President at noon to-day
PAD received no information whatever concern
ing the subject. 1t is thought, however, in mil
report
A report prevails that collision has actual
" occurred between the United States and
French troops. Nothing reliable, however, is
knewn. Gen. Sheridan despatched the troons
ON his own responsibility.
Gen. Sherman is invested with large discre-
honary power, and his original instructions
comprehended the project for joint French
and United States protectorate pending the
popular vote of Juarez on Maximiliau.

The Worlds New Orleans special SAYS Gen.
Escobedo, with a small escort had arrived out
side of Matamoras on the 10th, his troops
amounting to fifteen hundred men and six
pieces of artillery. Escobedo had demanded
the immediate surrender of Matamoras, giving
Canales until the morning of the 22d to do SO,
informing him that if the demand was not ac-
ceded to, he would attack Matamoras. Canales
replied curtly, positively refusing these terms.
Cortinas has levied loan of $1,000 on the citi-

The French commander, Bertholm, who es-
corfed the conducta from Guadalajara to Man

al started out to meet him at the head Of 150
men, but fell into an ambush near Calina
and was killed, together with nearly all his Of
