Important from Mexico. --The Havana Diario of the 14th, contains intelligence of the defeat of General Comonfort on his way to the assistance of General Ortega, who, at last accounts, was closely besieged, and had offered to capitulate under conditions. The Diario says: "An English steamship of war arrived home yesterday from Vera crus, which place she left on the 5th, and brings the following information:" The news heretofore communicated to us by a private correspondent, by English steamer, of the defeat of General Comonfort, is confirmed. He had started to Fueble to reinforce General Ortega, when General Berthier gave him battle. General Ortega had sent a communication to General Forey, offering to capitulate upon terms the French Commander-in-Chief had refused to accede to any capitulation whatever, demanding an unconditional surrender. The authorities of the city of Pueblo had sent a dispatch off to General Forey to ask him not to destroy the city, and another h

The Mexicans fought bravely, but the next day, the parallels having been extended up to the foot of the fortress, the Mexican General Mendoza presented himself in the caeral Forey made his entry into Pueblo, and was saluted by a volley of 100 guns. On the same day General Bazaine made his preparation and was ready to move toward Mexico on the following morning, May 20 During the nights of the 7th and 8th of May General Comonfort, who had abandoned his position at San Martin, in order to mar

During the night some 200 other arrests were made of parties charged with sympathizing with and aiding the rioters. The success of the French in Mexico. The news from Mexico by the steamer Constitution at San Francisco, with dates from Puebla to the 18th ultimo, leave no room for doubt that the report of the capture of Phebla by the French and the surrender of General Ortega's army is true. Mexico by the steamer Constitution at San Francisco, with dates from Puebla to the 18th ultimo, leave no room for doubt that the report of the capture of Phebla by the French and the surrender of General Ortega's army is true. But the facts which establish this result also bear testimony to the undaunted bravery and unquenchable patriotism of the Mexicans. They only surrendered when starvation compelled them, and even than many of the officers shot themselves, rather than become prisoners to the invaders. On the 17th of May General Forey sent a flag of truce to General Ortega, offering to allow the Mexican officers and soldiers to march out, the officers with their side arms, providing they would give a parole not t

selves out. * * * If we really wish to form some reasonable augury as to the length of this mutual destruction, we ought to turn to the civil wars still raging in Mexico, in Central America, or those portions of South America which have followed the example of the United States in an emphatic repudiation of European precedent and great requirements of a men-of-war-speed and strength.

Whether they will view with favor the of French interests in Mexico, if such be contemplated, is a question which the future development of events must be permitted to solve.

Affairs in Texas-Contemplated Federal Invasion. We have been placed in possession of files of Texas papers as late as the 25th ult. Parties who have arrived in Texas from California state that the Federal troops at Tuscan, Arizona, were under marching orders for the Rio Grande. They are to fall in with Gen. Carleton's command somewhere in Texas. The object of this expedition is said to be to cut off the supplies the Confederacy is receiving by the Rio Grande and through Mexico. It numbers about 5,000, including U. S. regulars and New Mexico and California volunteers. It is said they expect a force of 5,000 more men can be raised in Texas and on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande. This expedition will probably work its way towards the Gulf, with the aid of the Union men (as they say) in Texas, until the boundary shall be entirely in the Federal hands. They believe the enterprise to be easy of execution. Their troops will probably start from El Paso, and take possession of t

t the Southern Confederacy is destined to become one of the most powerful Governments of the continent, wonders how we will get along with France as a neighbor in Mexico. Very well indeed, we think. We have no jealousy of France in Mexico, or anywhere else. She is a nation which has always sympathized with us, and would have reMexico, or anywhere else. She is a nation which has always sympathized with us, and would have recognized our independence long ago, and put an end to the war, if Great Britain had consented to unite with her in that wise and humane undertaking. We have no desire for more territory than we already possess, except perhaps an outlet on the Pacific, which we can have without interfering with France. We have no desire to invade and despoil other countries, especially after our own bitter experience of such wrong and injustice. The present possession of Mexico by France is an advantage to us, and we are glad she is there. France is a chivalric and generous Empire, and we wish her success. Instead of jealousy, we are likely, when our independence is es

correspondents of U. S. papers say that the removal of Comte de Persigny from Napoleon's Cabinet will operate very unfavorably upon the Southern Confederacy, whose firm friend he was. A dispatch from Paris, of the 25th of June to the London Shipping Gazette, contains the following: The France, of this day, states that Admiral Forfait, who set sail for Vera Cruz the day before yesterday, carried instructions to General Forey to issue a proclamation immediately on arriving at the city of Mexico, to the effect that the French Government will recognize the Government of Mr. Jefferson Davis. The General Correspondent of Vienna, 23d, has the following: We have received intelligence from London which, if confirmed, would appear of the highest importance. Lord Palmerston is reported to have conceived the idea bf submitting the American quarrel to the arbitration of the King of the Belgians. The impartiality of the King cannot be doubted, seeing that he has just proved it so st

Napoleon, Mexico, and recognition. The Yankee papers are prodigiously exercised by the movements of the Emperor Napoleon. We publish what two of them — the Times and Herald--say on the subject, this morning. The Herald threatens to demolish France if she dare to hold Mexico and recognize us.

It threatened to demolish her if she set foot in Mexico; but it has not done so. --The chastisement is postponed, it seems, until the rebellion shall have been crushed, and the Herald says it is almost crushed.
