eccentric female having been discovered lying

MExICo.-Tne following is an extract from
letter dated Vera Oruz, Feb p, 1867: s.Cien-
eral Prrfirio Diaz has thrown a part of nj
army between Mexico and Puebla and the
communication is very irregular. For ten
days past we have received 40 mails from an v
where west OF Orzaba. The telegraph line Is
cat off. The French left Puebla on the Ifth
INST, and rumor has circulated here that
General Dias has captured that city. The i'm
periallsts report that they have obtained two
victories over the Liberals, one against Co.
Tonaa AteLguique, and the other against Car
ya1al at Guanajuato. Very little credit is
thought TO be circulated by the Imperialists
to keep up the spirits Of their men, who are
becoming more demoralized every day. II
seems that on the 12th INST. Marc uez and Max
imllian left the City OF Mexico for the interior
with 4.CUO men. The general impression seems
TO be that their object is to reach the coast
Others, however, believe that Macmillan is
going TO capituIate TO Juarez, or to see il an
armIstice can be had for the purpose of con
sulting the people. Nobody expects of course
that he will succeed in this, as the people have
spoken and are speaking against him. 1t has
been reported, too, and with some shade OF
reliability, that Miramon, Marquez, Maximi-
Ian, Melia, Castillo and the supporters of the
Empire, with all their troops, started from
Queretaro, and were met and completely de-
feated at Apaceo on the 18th, by Gen. Esco-
bedo. The French transports are daily arri.

UNDER THE BAN-It is a curious fact tha,
IN the recent elections in Prussia, Count Bis
marck and the five generals who have received
national rewards for their conduct of the recent
war. have all been defeated by candidates be-
longing to the liberal party. Thus Count Bis
marck has had to yield 10 Herr WaIdeck, the
eemocratc member of the Supreme Court of
Appeal. Gen. Won Room to Herr Lasker an
