City of Mexico taken. --The Galveston News of the 2d inst., says: An official letter from the French Consul at Matamoras states that the city of Mexico had been captured by the French troops. Tampico was occupied by 3,000 French and some reactionary troops on the 23d of December, and there were, at the time of writing 8,000 troops in that city, Matamoras may at any moment be occupied by the French, and will certainly be soon. The French army numbers over 40,000 men--four times the number necessary for the taking of the whole of Mexico. The News thus alluded to this interesting information: We look upon this as very important news.--The conquest of Mexico by the French; or which is the same thing, the absolute military control over that country by Napoleon, places French power in contiguity with the Confederate States on the South, as English power is in contiguity with Lincoln's Government on the North. It is worthy of note that white France has been steadil

nesday, near Donaldsonville, and has since been reinforced by five thousand Texans. Magruder's headquarters are at Houston, and the Governor of Texas has taken the field at the head of ten thousand State troops. Kirby Smith has called upon the Governors of the different States in his department to meet him at Marshall, Texas, on the 15th, to take measures to repel raids of the enemy. Kirby Smith has received official communications from Gen. Forey, who proposes to occupy and garrison Tampico and Matamoras. The pickets of the enemy have all been withdrawn from this side of the Big Black, and once more have the sorely tried citizens residing in that vicinity been relieved from their ruthless enemies, and as our cavalry are watching them very closely the citizens will be protected from those annoying raids which have almost devastated the country lying near the Mississippi river. I omitted in yesterday's letter to state that Dick Taylor's cavalry had "gobbled up" thirty-

vent, and must occasion uneasiness in Washington. We suppose it is true. We hope it is. It is certainly as agreeable to us as it is disagreeable to the Yankees that such a force should occupy just that place on the southern bank of the Rio Grande, across the border from Texas. We take it that such a movement must be for the protection of French commerce, and that French ships will soon convey away cotton that has crossed the river from Brownsville. The Yankees would like to prevent this traffic between our people and the French. We have no objection to their trying to do so. As strengthening the probability of the statement, we publish the following extract from the Paris correspondence of the London Times, of August 20th. "According to private letters received by the last mail, Tampico and Tuxpan were about to be occupied by the French, and it was expected that Matamoras would also have to be held on account of the important cotton trade which might there be carried on.

o what can be done with it Some years ago a company of United States speculators obtained from the beggarly Government of Mexico some kind of grant, for a trifling consideration, for right of way by this isthmus. Louis Napoleon will brush them away like cobwebs. He is determined not to have implements in the way of plans touching Mexico, at least from the Yankees. In further pursuance of his policy of the important positions on the Gulf, he is also about to throw a proper force into Tampico, the second largest seaport of Mexico. Having already occupied Vera Cruz and Matamoras, he leaves no commercial or military point of importance on the Gulf unoccupied, and we shall soon hear that those of the --Mazatlan. Acapulco, San Blas, etc — have not been overlooked. Maximilian will find his house pretty well in order by the time he arrives; but it is not improbable that he will find some roubles already matured to his hand in his relations with the Yankee Government. But the Empe

tepec. A letter from Vera Uruz, dated August 6th brings news of the occupation of Minat it land by the French. This is a town of some five hundred people, situated on the western bank of the river Coatzacoalcos, in the isthmus of Tehuantepec. It was formerly the point of departure on the Atlantic from which various attempts were made to establish interoceanic communication across the isthmus. It is twenty miles from the mouth of the river. An expedition had started to occupy Tampico. It was rumored that Don Benito Juarez had been preparing to proceed to Matamoras or New Leon, his object being to take refuge in Texas; but it was thought he would not be well received by the whom he had offered to oppose, in accord with President Lincoln. The Mexican journal, the Edufotte, in an article abusive of Juarez and his Government, uses the following language. Their principal hope to day lies in aid from North America. Whatever they be, in present circumstances,

Later from the North. The Baltimore American, of the 10th, has been received. It contains very little news. A telegram from Cincinnati, dated the 9th, says that Gen. Crittenden's division, of Gen.

Mobile, Oct. 24. --Maj. A. S. Rose arrived here yesterday, on his way to Richmond. He passed through Louisiana and Texas on his way. He does not bring much news from west of the Mississippi. He heard nothing on the other side of our lines of the great defeat of Gen. Banks. Houston papers, of the 30th ult., state that Sabine Pass was being rapidly put in condition to receive the enemy. The gunboat Clifton, captured in the recent grand victory, had been put in first-rate fighting trim. She and her armament had been tested, and found of the best quality. News from Brownsville to the 16th ult. had been received. The French had not then taken possession of Matamoras. It was stated that they would shortly seize one or two other places besides Tampico, and were expected to move on Monterey by way of Victoria. Gen. Slaughter had arrived at Brownsville via Havana. President Davis has just arrived here from Mississippi, and will review the troops this evening.
