Gradual Advance of the French Forces to Amozoc—Plenty of Provisions on the Highlands—Disparity in the Num- dere of the Mexicans and French—The Quizetic Plans of Forey—the Former Steges in Mexico—Beginning of the Operations Against Puebla, de. ‘The greatest military farce of the age is now being pre- Pared in this village for exhibition in front of Puebla within a day of two, For the last four months French troops have been ascending the highlands of Mexico and stealtbily working their way by two different routes to- wards this place. The division of General Bazaine has had plenty of time to know the route by Jalapa and the plain of Perote, while the division of General Douay has explored the whole region lying between this and Orizaba. ‘The result of these two expeditions has been the discovery that the army can be sustained on the bighlands for less than ong half the price it cost in Orizaba or any other Point below the Cumbres, All thé stories about the hos- tity of tho inhabitants have been proved false, for at every point the natives come forward with great zeal to sell their produce to the French army. The only attempts at molestation havo ‘been from bands of guerillas, whose only object has been to rob from the army convoys, end ip all these forays the French have not fost twenty men im the past th-se months. Day before yesterday the two divisions in the main part had arrived here, and General Forey, with his staff, made bis appearance a little after midday. Yester- day there was council of the different generals of the two divisions, and to-day the traing and troops are tak ing their departure for the lines in frout of the devoted city, distant from this a little over three leagues. To-day the last of the troops for the attack of Puebla have come im with General Neigre and the Count de Saligny, who bad been remaining at Acateingo for some days. There are now ready for the atfack twenty-two to twenty three thousand French troops, and about three thousand Mex) can auxiliaries, with Ofty pieces of cannon. All agree ‘that the attacking force te largely in the majority—the ‘Mexicans surpassing only in the number of their cannon and their fortifications. Altogether the Mexicans are not over twenty-two or twenty-threo thousand strong, of which three to four thousand are cavairy, who will, most probably, at the last moment, leave the city, as inside they can be of no service in resisting an attack; and of the remaining force by fer the larger part are Indians, who have been pressed into tho service, ‘and who will avail themselves of tho firgt opportanity to throw away their arms, and, if possible, return to their homes. Against this miserable crew General Forey is now about to put into execution plans of attack as if his enemies were really what they, in their usual bombastic atylp, claim*to be. He is evidently not aware of the past history of this country, or elo he and every one of bis officers would blush to find themselves playing such an absurd role. The history of the sieges which have taken place in this country—if he knew it well—would teach General Forey bow Quixotic afe his plane; bat General Forey appears to be laboring under the*impression that be is warring with a people hitherto unknown to the civil ized world, and that he ts to gain great glory [rom the succers of his plans. Notoriety he is certain to have from what he has already done; but neither honor to France por glory for the French army can be achieved by tho course now pursued by the French General in-Chief. If the history of Mexican insurrection and the sieges of Guanajuato, Puerte Calderon, Valledolid, &e., are not fresh in the memory of people in general, the American invasian certainly is not yet forgotten, Here in this very city of Puebla there was ample of the capacity of the Mexicans to reeist an in trepid foreign force. Un the approach of General Worth with fifteen hundred men and #ix jloces of artillory, Santa Apna retired with eighteen thousand men without’ firing ashot,and the raw American volunteers, footeore and tired, stacked their arme in the Plaza de Armas, and abandoned themrelyos to sleep or amusement, without Their bold daring saved them from danger, In the valley of Mexico Gene ral Seott encountered at Contreras and Cherubuseo forces four times bis numbers, and be commeveed tne series of battles of Molino del ley, Chapultepec and the taking of the Garitas of Belen nnd San Cosme with leas than eight thousand men, At Molino del Rey the Mexicans bad torty thousand men on the field and the advantage of stroo; itions, The strength of Chapultepec ix well nown, and through the whole lines to the wo tos of the ay. the Americaus everywhere found heavy works aod masked batteries to encounter, but they took all by a serie of brilliant charges, abd the affrighted Mexicans, although stil! with overwhelming force and strong powitionn, fel from their capital ln consternation.
