LATEST FROM MEXICO.

FROM PUEBLA TO MEXICO HOW THE TROOPS
LOOK ON THE RoAD-MADAME LA MARKETABLE
oFF-INDIFFERENCB OF THE NExICANs ALONG
THE ROAD.
MEXICO CITY, February 3.-French troops,
French conveys, French mule trains and
baggage wagons line the whole road from
Puebla to Mexico city. For an hour
together there is sometimes no cessation of
the tide of retreating Frenchmen sweeping
past the diligences. French troops still gar
risOn the most salient parts of the road. For
ten miles beyond Rio Frio the position, natu-
rally strong, has been so fortified by earth
works. rifes-pits, and trenches, that ten thou
sand good troops might defend the road
against the world in arms. 1t is Vicksburg
on an extended scale.
Just beyond the last of these lines our
stages come to a sudden halt, and a close car
riage, escorted by two hundred French chas-
seurs, drives past us, and the carriage cur
tains drawn aside by delicate lady's hand,
disclose the pleasing features of Marshal
Bazaines young Mexican wife, who is hurry
ing to Vera Cruz to embark with her husband
for la belle France Then we come upon the
ambulance train-another ng-drawn-out CON
voy of specie-half dozen field pieces, and
twenty wagon loads of French citizens taking
their household lares and penates back to the
land of their birth.
So nervous are these last, even under their
strong escort, that one cry of los hberaLes
would almost suffice to convert their retreat
into flight. 1t is a strange scene indeed.
May day in New York is hardly circumstance
to the extraordinary collection of furniture
and miscellaneous effects piled up on these
cumbrous baggage wagons. Jolly chaplains
and aunty UiUandiereS (who don't use side
saddles) lend piquancy to the dusty mono
tony of the march. As to the regimental pets,
there is a ragged poodle or "boule
dog" to every company, and enough
monkeys, parrots, and macaws to start
a respectable travelling menagerie.
The natives look on as usual with stolid
indifference, and to every attempt to extort
from them their views, interpose a vacant
"Qmen Sabe?" Small detachments of Liberals
appear suddenly from among the mountain
passes here and there, but they are merely
scouts. Strict injunctiOns have been given by
the Liberal chief that the French shall not be
harassed in their retreat.
Mexico city is reached just as the dusk OF
evening begins to fall. French troops still
hold the citadel and all the approaches. There
! is no unusual commotiOn in the streets, and
but for the fact that many French stores are
closed, and many painters are at work re-
| placing French by Spanish signs, one would
! not imagine that anything unusual was ex.
pected to happen. A military band is playing
! on the plaza. The music is listened to il
chilling silence till pretty little Mexican
tune, the "Pigeon," rapidly growing into
national air, is struck up, and then ther,
breaks out burst of applause which, for un
demonstrative Mexicans, is really prodigious

The EASTERN QUESTION.

THE STRUGGLING PATRIOTS TO THE AMERICANS.
To THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATEs:-We,
the undersigned, Hellenes resident in London,
have read with feelings of the deepest gratitude
the particulars of meeting held at Boston,
Mass, on behalf of our oppressed fellow
cOuntrymen in Gambia, struggling for the
attainment of their nationality against the
tyranny and oppression of Mohammedanism.
The noble and generous sentiments expressed
at that meeting have sensibly affected us. We
feel proud to think that the great American
republic, the land of Washington and Lincoln,
should stand forward at this critical moment
of our history to relieve the distress of our
ow-countrymen and to advocate their rights.
To us Hellenes, the circumstances of great
and free nation coming forward spontaneously
to support our long-oppressed nationality is a
happy omen. 1t fills Our hearts with joy, and
gives US hope that the day of our emancipa-
tion is near at hand These sentiments will
be echoed by the whole Hellenic race.
Accept, then, oh ! generous people OF Anne
rica, the lively feelings of our gratitude and
esteem, and believe us when we express a
prayer, not only for your prosperity, but that
the Disposer of all events may protect and
guard your mighty republic. May it continue
to be, as it is, refuge for the oppressed a
watchword for progress, and the home for free
dom and the rights of the people.
Herewith follow the signatures of the Hell
lenic community in London.

But there was no proof of his marriage to this

SEIZURE OF COUNTERFEIT MONEY, ETC.

ESCAPE OF THE CoUNTERFEITERs-THE OFFICERS OF
THE SECRET DIVISION on THEIR TRACK.
An important raid was made on a counter
feiting den on Thursday night last, resulting
in the seizure of the entire paraphernalia of a
thorough and complete process of counterfeit
ing United States currency. Acting ON the in
formation of Colonel w. P. Wood, the active
and efficient chief of the Secret Service Division
of the Treasury Department, United States
Marshal Murray late ON Thursday detailed
three of his deputies, who, acting under instruc-
tions, entered the premises No. IA Bleecker
street. and there discovered and seized two excel
lently engraved plates for printing and turning
out any quantity of twenty-five cent currency
stamps with the "Fessenden head" one of the
plates Just completed; an entire set of en-
graver's tools; one thousand sheets of bank
note paper, printing ink and large quantity
of currency stamps in process of manufacture.
Through some miscalculatiOn of time, how
ever, the officers made their swoop rather too
early or too late or else the counterfeiters had
received some intimation of the Colonel's intent
and were not to be found-a circumstance
much to be regretted, for the completeness of
the apparatus and the finish which marked
some of the completed spurious notes proved
them to be dangerous adopts in their nefarious
operations. Colonel Wood, with the able
assistance of Marshal Murray's aids, does not
despair, however, of completing his work and
bringing the counterfeiters to justice. The
whole of the apparatus as seized is now in
the Marshal's office, Chambers street.-N Y.
