ero, though of the Latin blood, was an American and a republican, the representative of a country that had been attacked at the same time, and, as Grant believed, in the same interest as the Union; and these circumstances first created and then fostered a very genuine sympathy between them. General Grant first met Romero in the autumn of 1864, while the national armies were lying at City Point investing Richmond. The Mexican Minister arrived at the headquarters with his countryman, General Doblado, bringing letters from the Secretary of State; and the two foreigners spent several days in the camp of the General-in-Chief. Grant paid them every courtesy and sent me with them to visit first General Meade at the front of the Army of the Potomac, and afterward General Butler, who commanded the Army of the James. The peculiar interest which Grant had always felt in the success of the Republic in Mexico made him especially glad to receive these representatives of the Republic. He ass

r Gen. Castillo, numbering in all some 10,000 men, were met, attacked and utterly routed by the Liberals under Gen. Zaragoza, so that very few ever found their way back again to the city. The Generals only escaped with their lives, leaving fifty pieces of artillery, all their stores and ammunition, and 2,000 prisoners in the hands of the enemy.--The prisoners, however, were soon after set at liberty, on the capitulation of the city, which was the necessary consequence of the battle. Gen. Doblado was expected on the 19th of November in Guanajuato, where great preparations were on foot for welcoming him. Seven thousand more cavalry were expected in Morelin, to march with the Liberal forces upon Mexico. Rajas and "Brownsville" Carvajal are their leaders. The British Legation at the city of Mexico had been sacked by order of Miramon and Robles, and from the million of dollars there on deposit, belonging to the English bondholders, nearly one-half of a million has been take

Latest from Mexico. The news from Mexico is alarming. It is now an admitted fact that the Mexican Congress has granted permission to the Lincoln Government to march a hostile force through Mexico to attack the exposed Western frontier of the Southern Confederacy. It is admitted that the consultation of four Governors which was held at Guanajuato had no friendly object in view towards the South, for Messrs. Doblado and Escandon fully understand the necessarily aggressive policy of the Southern Government. And it is also admitted that our friend Latham's ancient bed-fellow, Don Juan Nepamuceno Cortina, is now publicly enlisting Mexicans in the towns of Guerrero, Comargo, and Mier, for the purpose of making another foray into the now comparatively defenceless counties between Cameron and Webb. In fact, whatever the enemies of the Fort Brown Flag may say on the Texas side of the Rio Grande, we have the experience of thirteen years, and the immediate declaration of the Mexicans t

o retreat. It is feared that General Wolt will not arrive here as soon as it was expected. We have just been informed that 2,000 of Juarez's troops are passing at fifteen miles distance in the direction of Puebla and the conservative General Marquez is at Choluia with 4,000 men, all cavalry. Acuizinge, May 3, 1862.--We haited here at 10 o'clock this morning, and learned that the enemy is concentrating his forces in Puebla, where there are at present 12,000 men, counting the forces of Doblado and Gonzalez Ortega. Some say that the enemy is going to fight before we get to Puebla. Others say that they are likely to do so at Chulalpa, which is the place where General Miramon was defeated. The latter place is near to Mexico. As we shall be in Puebla day after tomorrow we shall soon know for certain where the battle is likely to take place. We learn from the Canary Islands that there is no hope of saving the Spanish mail steamer Cantabria, which got aground there some time a

The excitement in the city has been somewhat great for the last few days; but quiet is being gradually restored, and workmen are busily engaged in erecting quarters and camps for the French troops. Gen. Almonte has not yet arrived, but he is momentarily expected. I am sorry that I have not at hand his proclamation, that I might send you a copy. A military board at once took charge of the government of the city. Rumors are rife, but the greatest is that Zaragoza, Doblado, Comonfort and Gonzales Ortega will besiege the city. It is not known as yet where Juarez has gone to, but it is generally believed that he is at Queretoro.

The Triumvirate had notified the representatives of foreign Governments that a legal Government had been provided for Mexico, and they had been requested to recognize the Triumvirate as constituting such Government. The American and Central American Ministers replied that they must recognize the Juarez Government until further instructions from their Governments.

provisions. Mexico. The latest advices from Mexico are not very favorable to the National cause: Queretaro, the capital of the State of that name, was occupied by Gen. Mejia, in the interest of the French, on the 15th of November, and Mejia, with the French General Donal, was to advance upon San Luis de Potosi, the present seat of the National Government, an important city in the State of Michoacan. Gen. Bazaine was marching upon Guanajuato, the capital of the State of which Doblado is Governor, and anticipated an easy conquest, and the city of Guadalajara was besieged by the Mexican allies of the French. It is also reported that Vidaurri, one of the ablest leaders of the Liberal party, and at present Governor of the States of Nuevo Leon and Coahuilb, has gone over to the French. Gen. Comonfort, the best and most reliable General in the Mexican service, is dead, and his loss will be severely felt. A brisk guerilla war is maintained against, the invaders; but that wi
