MEXICO. Military Situation of the French. 1 ae sel a THE LINES OF OCCUPATION. INTERESTING FROM CHIHUAHUA. INSIDE VIEW OF ORTEGA’S MOVEMENTS. &C.y &c. &c. QUA CHIHUAHUA CORRESPONDENCE, Cumvauva, Nov.'6, 1866, Retiring from Northern Mexico after desolating it all that was possible, the imperialists have, from all appear- ances, occupied a line which they are determined to de- fond if possible, This line appears to be that of Vera ' Cruz, San Luis Potosi, Zacatecas, Fresnillo, Sombrerete and Durango, From Durango to Moxico is two hundred and thirty-four loagues by the roads, It is from this point that this northwestern outpost of tho French army receives-ite supplies and supports in men and money. A straight Mne produced northwest from Vera Oru touches nearly all the points above mentioned. About one hundred and fifty leagues by the poad and west- southwest of Durango !ies Mazatlan on the Paciflo, It ie atill ocoupled by the imperialists, and I judge will not ‘bo evacuated but a short time before it is determined to evacuate Durango; for tho reason that the liberal force now in frént of Mazatlan would be immediately marched to the aid of Auza and Aranda, now closing their armies around the former city, It is upon the above line that the imperialists hope to make the stand for the empire, and upon this lino that wo may expect to see some battles fought before the liberals enter tho capital of the country, 3 DURANGO is naturally a strong point and strongly fortified. It is ow occupied by thirteen hundred French and imperial troops, who appear determinod to try a defence of the place, if the information which I possess js reliable, ag Thave no doubt it is, For the siege, the liberals can gather from thirty-flve hundred to four thousand men. General Aranda was, with the Chihuahua force which was sent against Durango, on the 26th of October still on the Nazas river, some thirty leagues north of there. He had gathered around him many of the smaller gue- rilla bands which have been harassing tho imperialists, and was rapidly augmenting his army. He had also gent a large cavalry force to Santa Catarins, fvurteen leagues northeast of Durango, ax = ore ee as ce ‘imperials not only occu; From this tt aproary ne of the suauler places in tie ity. Fara eeity wewups of Zacatecas aro still throat. : ine ef occupation from Durango to Zacatecas, euing th@alinediatoly unite with Aranda, when every: thing is prepared for the sioge. For this purpose, how- ever, Aranda has written to Chihuahua for some heavy field pieces and siege cuns, which are now here in the artillery park, and which, from their appearance, will do good service with the copper shot and shell which are daily being manufactured here, These guns will be sent off immediately. IN MAZATLAN, The imperialists are reduced to at siraits, The latest’ news states that the whole gar sallied out and drew themselves up in line of batule, The liberal forces, willing to accept the challenge wero prepared for the fight, when suddenly the imperialista retreated to their works and it was discovered that the movement was mad cover a corps of wood cutters, who were gather- ing ly of that article to the rear of the line. Tho imporialists arranged a mino of six barrels of powder under an old house which the liberals bad occupied; bat the liberals cut the train and eocured the powder, BITCATION AT MATAMOROB, The forces of Escobedo have been divided to crush the revolution of Matamoros. General Tapia after escaping to Brownsville, went up the Rio Grande and crossing the river ipapeoecee to Monterey where he had an interview with bedo, This General having received informa- tion from Tampico and other parts of Tamauli; that Canales had no friends in that Bato except such as he sould gather around him to share te, plunder of Mata- moros, and that the whole province was diaposed to re- ceive General Tapia as their legitimately appointed ruler, g the force deemed necessary for the overthrow of ales to Tapia, who left Monterey on the 15th October for the conquest of Matamoros, This is entirely tn ac- cordance with instructions sent to General Escobedo, Sometime since, by the Supreme Government. From tho condition in which Canales will find himself and the fow troops, two hundred and fifty to three hundred—part Americans—which ho has, thore is but little chance of his holding the city for any length of time. SITUATION IN SAN LUIS, Tho forces of Trevino aro still in front of Matahual: in northern San Luis Potost, which the imperialists stil hold as ap outpost to their nortliern line of occupation. To Trevino’s command aro assembiing all the smallor guerrilla parties of tha! section, and I understand that the liberal force which took Tampico is also marching to reinforce it. LARGE ARMIRG NECESSARY TO THE LINERALS, It may here be observed that the war has roached that beral progr: and where guerrilia Oghting m i This is proven by the fact that Aranda and Auza, front of Durango, have to concentrate every guerrilla element apdseod to Chihuahua for siege guns, while to aseail Matahuala and San Luis P Trevino and Escobedo have to gather all the minor forces into a considerable army of the three one of them being the now in dispensable artiliery, which for two Fee ‘past has been almost entirely ignored in tho Ifberal movements Againet this imperial line of defence we shall now seo a concentration of the liberal forcoa, and here too will arise the opportunities for the showing and the development of Mexican military skill and govivs. Iam: certein it will be shown where it is least expected, and be ex; where it will least be shown.

Despite all the imperial efforts to make a bold front, their armor has beconte so woak that war with thom now is « forlorn hope rather than a sturdy bigw for em- pire, as witness the following extracts from a private let- ter from Mexico;— The court, since the reception of the last news of the lib- eral triumphs upon the frontier, and since it commenced to note the movement of concentration of the Prench army, has entered into a melancholy ailenco, without doubt a fim rat that the evils which they complained to the rone at ite establishment have revived, and taken an un- looked for maguitude, The lack of confidence and rivalry between the French Marshal and) the Archdukee becomes more iY. ‘he work of the French Ministers, chafged with the despatch of goverament business, make useless and even ridiculous the presence of the “tedesco’’ [a German wide cloak—H#ratp cor, }, and bis character, which he still , a rather a burlesque which he wishes to lay to the last extreme than any importance which he pre- Is to inainiain in the most critteal moments of his sph meral kingdom.

The Rulz '@ mentioned is, or was, one of the seven members of the Supreme Court of Justice of the repub- lic. He was always a vacillating man, and has from time to time beapenher in tho political overturnings, first one party, then another. By profession he 1s a lawyer. For the past eight arn he has been a somewhat luke- warm member of the liberal y.. Not long since he was a strong advocates in the government councils for the effecting of some arrangement with the interven- tion, under plea that the country, exhausted of re- sources, could no longer hold jout inst the French, The government gradually lost'confidence in him, until finally, at bis own regress and while he was in com- mand as Brevet ae lier General of the Rio Florido line, in southern Chihuahua, the; absence to visit the sulphur sprin; mediately visited the sulphur igs of instead, and, it appears, is now about to be madea French tool. Under plea that Juarez {s now illegally occupying the Presidential chair; that Ortega, by deser- tion of his position, is not entitled to it; thatthe constitution of 1857 docs not particularize - any one of the remaining mombers of the Supreme Court of Justice as entitled to tho vacated seat; ani therefore, that one of the members is as much entith to ft as ‘another, they propose to make Ruiz the Presi. dent of the hour, and in payment thereof havo the | great French war debt recognized as a part of the na- tional debt of the country, The whole matter shows to what the French are willing to stoop in their efforts to saddle upon Mexico the burden of their unfortunate ex- pedition. FRENCH MISREPRESRNTATIONS OP MEXICO. I see that the French journals are now disposed to magnify the evil condition of Mexico, First, they com- lain of the robberios and Segoe, by the Krericans before the intervontiva. They curse the lib- eral government for not preventing these, while they Dring the civilizing shadows of the French standards to one protection of the very leaders whose outrages wero tho vilest among those of which they complain. To Al- monte, to Miramon, to Mejia, to Marquez—“the in- famous Marquez’—they have extended the hand of fel- lowship. But I assure you that wherever a Fronch army has marched in Mexico, it has proved that even these men are not thelr peers in whole sale crime and robberies. They now point to what Mexico will be when they leave the land they have blackened ; that it will return to anarchy; that civil war will be the rule, not the exception; that ‘they offered— unasked it is trao—the glorious “pacification” scheme, which Louis Napoleon wrote for the benefit of the New World, and presented, as he would have presented it to @ mad dog, on the point of a sabro, French glory ! French bonor! French civilization ! Here it is:—Cities sacked and burned; towas in ruins; peo- ple.driven to the mountains; estates swept of their cat- tle; farms returned to their primoval wildness; mines wrecked and abandoned; patriots murdered by’ whole- sale, because forsooth they defend their native soil; commeree stripped of all that makes it valuable; new feuds stirredjn the hearts of a people already torn by fifty of civil hatreds: citizens publicly whipped by me Rahs oe sr Lang them: ots bio feanningros lonterey; the commerce of tho Tnrned fato the Bands of Marshal: Bazalne; the ‘ational debt of the country quintupled by the android Maximil- jan; the old civil war element of the country, the Mexi- can Church, propped up by French bayoneta; the liberal constitation of 1867 buried in five years of bloody strife Just as it_was about to regenerate Mextco:—These— these are French civilization; these aro the upholding of the prestige of the Latin race in the ‘Now World. Following in the track of all this, ‘s an almost wrecked nationality; a people driven back ten years into the past; a disorganization of all th of government which these had been to cole jo against the retrogressi lect in their terrible. ve element of the country—the Church. France has stolen five years from Mexico! She found her wrecked, and she stripped her of what little remained worth ng. Will the world not give Mexico a little time to repair her ship of State? Will the United States even ask more of her neighbor than she is able to perform in ber own case? Give these people a few years to the evils of French civill , and at least a to try that which was the result of half a century of religious ware, the constitution of liberty and of reform—that of 1857.

G. Ortega went through the forms of making with you for the establishing of a mint in San Francisco, Cali- fornia, General Gonzales who calls himself the const!- tutional President of the Mexican republic, and who pre- tends to govern said republic from abroad, exercises therein no public authority of any kind whatsoever; por bas he the right to exercise any. Hence the acts by which he aims at oxeroising the authority of legitimate governor of Mexico are null and void. ‘As to tho request which you make that the citizen President of the sehat Benito Juarez, will grant the privilege for the establishment of a mint in San Fran- cisco, Cal., on the same conditions as those contained in the contract which General Gonzales Ortega pretends to have made with you, it is impossible to accede to such a request, The coinage of money being one of the at- tributes of the mational sovereignty, it should not take place outside of the national territory over which such sovereignty is exercised. No motive nor any condition can justify such a concession. Independence, liberty and reform, To Dr. Wx. H.

Goneral Don Micvrn NeGRete:— Dear Frixxp—I venture toaddress vou this letter; but Ido so on account of the urgency of the affair and be- cavee I am aware of your patriotism, ‘The United States government has refused to recognize Don Benito Juarez, on account of his lack of any legiti- mate titlo or constitutional power to negotiate with said vernmont a loan of $60,000,000. and in comaequence of this it has recognized me as the constitutional President, I believe that fore veoh, a the Joan of fifty miltions of dollars will be all eetul It 1s important that you send word immediately to Garcia do la Cadena, to A and to Sanchez urging that they issue proclamations recognizing the constitutional ee roment of Mexico and setting forth that such has alw: been the sentiment of the State of Zacatecas, whose guide is always the law and whose stand- ard ts the constitution, and ing tbat this proclamation is made at the present time in order to solemnly record that sentiment of the people of Zacatecas and to aid the national cause.

Tell Garcia de la Cadena that Ferniza acted with shrowdness and prudence, and did mot deliver the letters to those for whom intended; but he retains them still in bs m; 80 Sofior Cadena is not in the least compromised. Forniza will eet out im afew days ‘and will cross the deserts on tho frontior. He will bear with him instructions for the arrangement of some way to forward arms and means on a scale co to np affair of so great magnitude as the present. a word also to Aureliano, and give him a copy of this note, In @ few days I will set out for Mexico.
