BY the arrival of the Eagle, from Havana
2oth nit, interesting intelligence has beer
received from Mexico.
The steamer Florida left Vera Cruz Oh
the 18th with l,l00 French troops, with 8
full cargo of arms, ammunition, &c.
A French war vessel arrived at Vera
Cruz on the 10th, from New Orleans, with
q cable dispatch from Napoleon, saying
that all the transports would arrive there
IN january, and that he expected all the
French troops to be ON board within three
weeks after their arrival
Everything indicates that the French are
fastening the evacuation.
MaNimiian is at Puebla on his way TO
the City of Mexico. and will doubtless re-
main till after the departure of the French,
when he will probably attempt to leave
This will prove hazardous step, as even
his present friends (accomplices, as the Es-
taiette calls them,) turn upon him. Vera
Cruz, and in fact the whole country, is full
of rumors, and II is difficult to get at the
truth.
The Liberals are ready the moment that
Marshal Bazaine leaves the city of Mexico

daily thronged with customers, and his sue

about 1t is that when he sells his customers

near Secor. A freight train Of twenty-eight
cars including caboose and pay-car. was
going East, an extra locomotive pushing
the train behind, and when Within 80 or 100
feet ot the bridge over Panther Creek. a
wheel of one of the cars broke, throwing
the remaining trucks of the track. In
this condition the train went on the bridge.
The forward locomotive aud eight cars
went safely over. The disabled car fell into
the bridge when about half way across,
crushing the structure and prccipitating
the balance of the train, with The rear loco
motive, fifty feet 10 the ground.
There were about two hundred and fifty
barrels of highwines on board, and, the
barrels bursting, the fire from the caboose
communicated with the liquor, setting the
whole mass In flames, and destroying both
bridge and train. Several persons were In
jured, and one or two lost their lives.

A California Tornado.

Particulars of the late storm in Nevada
County, California, have been received. II
appears that the terrific tornado passed
about half mile southwest of the town OF
Nevada, leveling houses, trees, and every
thlng IN its course. Had the hurricane
gone directly over the town. it Is impossi-
BILE to calculate what damage it might have
done.
At Peake Ravine Grove thirty-two large
trees were broken in twain eight or ten
teet from the ground, and shivered into
kindling-wood as though it had been the
work of lightning. Large houses were
picked up by the wind and carried some
distance and thrown mass of ruins TO the
ground. In its course northward its width
was about 500 feet. 1t was by far the most
terrific storm which has ever occurred in
California.
