French Reports from Mexico.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 3.-The United States
steamer Vanderbilt, from Honolulu Novem.
ber 22d, arrived to-day. :.
A letter from Montenegres, the Imperial
commander at Acapulco, dated Nov. 24th,
does not seem to mediate an immediate
evacuation Of that place. 1t says that the
French war ship Talisman left there with
orders for Marshal Bazaine to bring 400 Of
the 1900 men campaigning in Tehauntepec,
and that their arrival would dispel all chance
of the Liberals taking possession Of Aca-
pulco. 1t further says that operations will
be Immediately commenced against the other
ports in the State Of Gurrero, and that the
boasted Liberal victory near Coloma was
only @ small afiair--some los men having
been surprised and overpowered by q supe-
rior force. Eighty-fve Of the number had
arrived safely at Coloma.

WEDNESDAY NINaaDEcEMBER $, 1856,
THE ARREST OF JOHN N, SUR.
RAFT.

The news Of the arrest of this notorious
man is a subject for rejoicing throughout
the civilized world and must strike terror to
all such evil-doers and impress upon them
the solemn fact that in these days Of steam
and telegraph there is no spot on the habita-
BILE globe, not even in the benighted regions
Of Egypt, where great offender against law
can secret himself. .........' ........ .s....a D..
The Official papers, on the subject, will
show that for many long months the Gov
ernment have been watching this man, who,
at first. was only suspected and. who was
serving in certain regiment Of the Papal
Zouaves. A serious difficulty here arose.
No extradition treaty existed between this
Government and the Papal States; conse-
qucntly, If identified, SURRArr could not be
demanded, The first thing to be done was
to identify the man. After great precaution
and the lapse Of considerable time this was
accomplished beyond doubt The next
thing was to communicate the fact to the
Pope and obtain his permission to have the
notorious man arrested and surrendered to
the United States. Gen. KINa, our Minister
to Rome, was intrusted with this important
duty, and it gives us pleasure to be able to
state that the Pope, upon the testimony Of
identity being shown him, immediately or
dered the arrest of SURRArr and directed his
surrender to the United States. This is Of
fetal. The detail facts about his escape
from the Papal officers are not known yet, as
tha,, hay haan ~ x1,n 80
Department His escape into Italy was not
to remain long, as it is known that he took
passage on board Of vessel and crossed the
Mediterranean Sea into Egypt, where our
Consul General is vested with almost abso-
lutte power. SURRArT's escape from the Of
fcers Of Rome went before the flying crimi-
nal and, by aid Of the telegraphic cable, the
State Department was enabled to direct all
Of our representatives abroad to be on the
alert. His arrival in Alexandra, Egypt
was Of short duration. He was arrested
and if he does not escape again. will be
brought to this country in one Of our ships
oEwar, and tried in the civil courts Of thii
District. 90
There is little doubt that the arrest o
SuRRArr will throw some new light upon tn
great conspiracy Of which he and his mothe
and BoorH were the ringleaders.
The official papers on the subject Of SrR
RATS detection and arrest will be prompt.
sent to Congress in response to the resolu
ton Of Mr.. boutwell, calling for them, an
will not only show that great injustice ha
been done to The PRESIDENT and Mr.. Sew
ARD in certain high quarters in relation
the whole matter, but that great credit
due them for thoroughness of search and Il
final apprehension of man who had wa
dered to the farthermost ends Of the cart
