ExcITiSc RUaoR.-A rumor was rife in
the city yesterday, but we were unable to
trace it to any reliable source, to the effect
that collision had occurred between a
few Unionists, white and colored, and a
number of the recently reconstructed. in
the neighbolhood of Fairfax Courthouse,
originating in an attempt on the part OF
the latter to demolish freedmcns school
house in that neighborhood. Report said
that during the progress of the affair five
lives were loSt-two white and three CO.
lored. We trust that it may prove a rumor
only, with no foundation in act.-Aleran-

REVENUE DECISION AS TO WHIsKY.-The
collector Of internal revenue for the first
district in Philadelphia lately addressed
the following question to Commissioner
Rollins, which is of interest
"A distiller of this district desires to
withdraw from bond lot of spirits below
proof, but held that he was not liable to
pay the tax of two dollars per gallon on
the same, insomuch as it had not reached
strength of proof" :,
The Commissioner replied {" would
state that in the case which you mention
the course taken by you in requiring tax
of two dollars per gallon upon the spirits
was correct. According to the plain Ian
guage of the thirty-secOnd section of July
Is, 1866, all spirits below first proof are
taxed the same as first proof, and for all
above first proof the tax is increased in the
same proportion as the strength"

LONDON, December l2.-'fhe GioJe has re-

important nature relative TO the collapse OF
the Mexican Empire. II is informed that
there is not only n perfect understanding be-
tween The Cabinets OF Paris and Washington,
but also that formal communications between
the two Governments have taken place, the
basis of the arrangement being that the United
States may do what they like with Mexico,
subject TO the conditions
l. That certain tracts Of land in 4 healthy
part of Mexico shall be left open for French
colonization.
.. That the arrangements which France
made for the payment of the Mexican bond
holders shall not be disturbed.
II is also stated that this arrangement was
concluded without the knowledge of Maxi
milan, and that when he was appraised of it
he manifested indignation, and resolved at
once 10 abdicate and quit the country, leav-
ing the French to treat for the withdrawal Of
their troops either with Juarez or the pro-
tectorate Of the United States. On arriving
1T Vera Cruz, Macmillan wrote letter 10
Bazaine, insulting to him personally, and the
reverse of complimentary to Napoleon.
The London Times complains that the loyal
people of Ireland do not show themselves, bat
seem to leave everything to the Government
police, the army, and navy.
The Times announces also that peace is
shortly to be concluded between Spain, Chill,
and Peru. The seven articles constituting the
basis of the treaty show that there never was
the shadow OF a cdSuS bsHt.

NEW YORK, December l2.-Further details OF
the battle at Matamoras are at hand. The

the loss of half his men in the assault on Fort
Monterey. He says their failure was owing 10
the want Of scaling ladders. Escobedo's loss
was 200 killed, 400 wounded, and between 800
and 400 prisoners. Canales's loss, all told, was
about 100 Escobedo boosted that II he had
succeeded he would have crossed the river
into Texas, and whipped out the Yankees too
Large numbers OF the wounded officers OF
Escobedos army have arrived at BROWNSVILLE.
Canales and Escobedo had met and embraced
each other in the presence OF General Sedg'
wick. Fears of an attack on the United States
forces while they were in occupation OF Mala-
moras had led TO extended preparations for
their defence on the Brownsville side OF the

entire United States military force would have
