New ORLEANS, Jan. l4.-By letters
dated December 2sth, from the City of
Mexico, from the best informed author
ity among the Imperialists, we have the
following intelligence: The French
troops were descending en- masse to
Vera Cruz. General Castelneau leaves
some time in February. General Castel-
neau and the French Minister went to
the Emperor at Puebla and obtained his
promise to abdicste in twenty days. 1t
appears that the answer of the Liberal
chiefs to the invitation sent them for CO.
operation leaves no hope that a Congress
can be held, and the Emperor must
abdicate in the meantime. The En-
pire is governed by his confessor, Pere
Fischer.
Marquese and Miramon are selling
men and horses wherever they can lay
their hands on them, in order to fill the
route of the army. The Liberals are all
around the city and the Imperialsts are
DESTROYS of getting away and taking to
their transports.
The Liberals must get possession Of
the city before long. The present. is the
last effort of the reactionists, and it is
feared it will be a desperate me.
The steamer Cassandra arrived at this
port this morning, from Vera Cruz, di-
rect, and brings the following highly
important intelligence from the city Of
| Mexico to the 9th instant: The last de-
tachment of the French troops from the
interior, under General Castigny, was
expected daily in the Capital, when the
French troops would commence their
movement towards Vera Cruz. Mar
shall Bazaine was expected to leave the
capital about the Goth instant. All
abandoned cities were being occupiedby
the Liberals. Guadalajars, Guanajus-
to, San Luis Potosi rnd others were in
their hands. General Miramon left the
Capital to occupy these places, but it
Was generally believed that he would
not succeed. The great difficulty with
the Imperialists was the want Of arms
and money. Mejia has abandoned the
cause.
The Emperor had b%lundered by bad
advice and had resolved to continue the
struggle and had reached the Capital
and taken up his abode ut the Hacienda
De la Seja. 1t was believed by many
that the Emperor, on the departure of
the French, would abandon the country.
The French troops will be at Vera Cruz
by the first day of March, when all the
ex%pcditionary corps, it was believed,
will be embarked for France.
