Men have arrived in this place vrho announce them- Belves utteriy ruined and beggard by this gigantic robbery. The Mexican gunboat Antonio* lying at anchor, was charged upon by the -robbers; but by a cottragooua and well-directed Are she quickly repulsed them, killing seventeen of the negrofca They then brought a piece of artillery to bear on her, and one shot took effect between wind and water. The gun boat then got up sieam and left for Matamoras, where she arrived aafely on Saturday last. Two Imperial soldiers—one a Frenchman and the other an Austrian— were killed on the Antonio^ and their remains were in terred with great pomp in Matamoros on Sunday. Ab soon as the intelligence of the raid by United States soldiers reached this place, the men recruited under the .auspices of ‘‘Major-General R. Clay Craw ford ” were instantly hurried from their camp here to thesceueof action—the “Major-General" himself also going. On arriving at Clarksville they crossed over and took possession of the already scared and sub dued town of Bagdad, to gather up the debris left by the first plunderers. When the fecta were made known to Gen. Weitzel he at once hastened to Clarksville, and ordered a regi ment of United States troops over to Bagdad to pre serve order, and no doubt also .to protect American life and property. Sd matters stand at present. I for bear comment, confining myself strictly to facts as they are known here. Bagdad is of little consequence except as a strategic >oint in a new siege of Matamoros. Of coarse, all the jberal leaders hurried to this scene of a. nefarious triumph, won by the disorderly troops of a neighbor ing power with which the Mexican nation fa at peace:' The project of an immediate onward movement on Matamoros was the absorbing topic. Dissensions, however, arose among the leaders. "Major General B. Clay Crawford," by virtue of brass and a "commis sion" from Ortega, late recruiting and financial agent of the Juarez party in New York, claimed the right to command. This was denied by Major General Mari ano Escobedo, who holds a lawful commission from Don Benito Juarez, late President of the Bepublic. Bo they split. Bat our filibuster "Major General" waa too well posted in his favorite game of “bluff " to give it up so, John Brown. He has formed an alliance with the bandit "Brigadier General" Joan Nepomu- ceno Cortinas, who has been successively outlawed by every party in Mexico. These worthies, with a hand ful of desperate followers, whose only business for years has been robbery and murder, are determined to capture Matamoros on their own hook and appro priate all the spoils to themselves. What the result will be time alone can show. European News. The German steamship Bremen, which touched at Southampton on January 31, arrived at New York on the 15th, bringing news from Europe three days later- In consequence of the publication in America of the documents relative to Mexico, the French Govern ment had resolved to give to the world their share of the correspondence, and the despatches sent by Druyn de Lhuys, the. French Foreign Secretary, to M, Mont- holon, French Embassador at Washington, had been laid before the Corps Legislatif. M. Druyn de Lhuys speaks out his mind with the greatest frankness, and in one despatch protests against “interpellations ex pressed in a threatening tone and founded on equivo cal documents." It is noticeable that in a despatch dated the 9th of January last, M. de Lhuys informs M. Montholon in almost the exact words used thirteen days later by Napoleon in his speech from the throne, that his Imperial Majesty was "making arrangements with the Emperor Maximilian for ths withdrawal of the French troops." Paris correspondence states that's feeling of hostili ty to the United States prevailed in that city. The Spanish government remained bent on war to the knife with Chili, and the Ministers were said to have issued instructions of the-most sanguinary char acter to Admiral Bareja’s successor. Some idea, how ever, of the serious nature of the conflict they had en tered upon began to impress itself on the Spanish people. Five Chilian privateers, all of them iron clads, were reported to be pr6ying,on Spanish com merce, and it was regarded as a foregone conclusion that Peru and the other South American republics would make common cause with Chili against Spain. Important from Mexico. Important news from Mexico is brought by the steamer Corsica, which arrived on the 16th from Ha vana. There was great activity in French military af fairs at Vera Cruz, but not of a character to indicate an early evacuation of the country by the Europeans. French troops in large numbers were arriving at Vera Cruz from the interior and embarking ou transports. They were not, however, bound for France, but, it was understood, for the defence of Tampico, which was seriously threatened by the Eepublicans, and it was even intimated that they were intended for fron tier service against both tho Bepubhcans and the United States. There was a rumor that the Imperial ists had already been compelled to surrender Tampico, though an account of a severe defeat of the Bepubli- cans in the vicinity of that city comes to us by way of New Orleans. Large quantities of military stores were still arriving at Vera Cruz from Fiance, and be ing sent into the interior. An Imperial train, Valued at six hundred and fifty thousand dollars, waa recently captured by the Bepublicans. The report of the commission appointed by General Weitzel to investigate the Bagdad affair, together with some of the accompanying letters, is furnished by our Brownsville correspondent. It is conclusively shown, that no United States army officers were connected with the raid, and General B. Clay Crawford is charged with being its instigator and director. The testimony taken by the commission waa very extensive and volu minous, and they have spared no pains to develope all the facts. The conclusion at which they arrive, how- ^ver, ia summed up very briefly. IN GENERAL.. —There has been no fatal case of cholera in Paris since the 14th of January. The epidemic made its first appearance on the 15th of September, 1866, and in the course of the four intervening months carried off 6,388 persons. The greatest mortality on any one day was on. the 14th of October, when 230 deaths were recorded. There is a new '“burning well” in the oil regions on the Lake Arm, near Pithole City. It is proposed to extend the tubing to the top of the derrick, so that the flame may illuminate the surrounding counfry- It is currently reported in diplomatic circles in Washington that the wife of the Italian Minister has recently been paid fifty thousand dollars by order of the Quartermaster General, for property destroyed be fore her marriage, and while she was a Southern sym pathizer and resident of Natchez, Mississippi.

PRICE, GENTS. OUR NEW YORK LETTER. New York, Feb. 15; 1866. Bancroft's oration ia generally considered here as a very poor thing in deed—below mediocrity—and had it been delivered by a Sophomore in a college debating society wonid be simply passed over as a puerile attempt to display a smattering upon historial subjects. Many people, however, charitably give him the credit of not being so much to blame as those who proffered"the occasion to one who is nothing but a historian. Never eould the adage that "comparisons are odious” be more ap plicable than to the long string of words yclept a "funeral oration,” by this distinguished lilerateur.

There is 41O doubt bpt that if Congress would appoint an able, fearless and impartial committee, the public would be astounded with the discoveries which would result. It is alleged that the frauds iu clothing, tent, hat and shoe contracts in Philadelphia, Cincinnarti and New York have been enormous, the former city enjoying a bad pre-eniinence in this respect. A contractor who appeared recently at a party here, iu the glory of lull evening costume, is said to have been guilty of greater and more heartless swindles on the soldiers than any one niau beside, and j et has never been annoyed by even an arrest. A well-known Kentuckian, now in the employ of the Treasury Department in a Southern State, openly stated in our hearing that he had been forced to pay $70,000 to a Provost Marshal before he could get a steamboat-load of cotton released from his clutches, although he held permits from the late Secre tary of the Treasury and President Lincoln. Ho not only offered *to appear and make oath to tho fact, but to contribute several thousand dollars towards the ex penses of a commission, if the President would send one there, to investigate. The fact is, that sooner or later tnis record of crime must be ventilated, and the member of Congress who will start the thing will gain the respect of the people. AN EXTEMPORANEOUS TRIP, Fog and ice, ! both of unusual density, have pre vailed for a week, more; or less, and have lent a few undesirable accompaniments to uavigation.' Ifrrjfutia, a Hoboken ferry boat, left its slip at 7 p. m. of Satur day last, having ou board one thousand souls, most of them passengers by the Morris and Essex Railroad, destined to their houses in the suburbs. The elements above named, if they may be so called, were superla tively'uuprbpitimis. The boat became entangled in the ice, and having broken her paddles in her efforts to disengage herself, was left at the mercy of the tide. The news of this disagreeable state of things spread like wildfire , through the cabins, and immediately there was worked up that awfully thrilling scene that the presence of immediate and horrible death only can furnish. The angry shouts of anxious men, mingled with the frantic screams of frightened women, and down floated tlie ten hundred! The deep toned ding-dong of fog bells clashed unmusically with the stentorian screech of steam whittles, and down floated the ten hundred. Night grew on apace; dan gers thickened and multiplied; yet down, down floated the doomed craft with the “sea of ice” through the gloomy fog and the murky darkness.. The gate of the ^ea vras near at hand; relief must come speedily or it would be too late. Innumerable petitions tp the cap tain were hastily drawn, and innumerable words of con sedation and comfort returned- Impromptu meet ings were called; prayers offered; wills drawn; reso lutions passed; farewells token. Cut hark! a great crash, and the good ship struck—-not a poetic rock, kind reader, but the plain, unvarnished Jersey Flats, A moment later a gentle breeze cleft the mist, and an hour later the uufortuate ten hundred, with their bas kets and bundle® of Saturday night goodies, were set down at Hoboken at a quarter .before three on Sunday morning. Alp^t' of them took the next boat back to the city for hotel accommodations. GREAT CAPTURE BY DETECTIVES. Full details of the modus operandi of detectives iu securing the arrest of the robbers of the Concord Bank and their plunder, are published here this morning. It appears that after many unsuccessful efforts on the part of Messrs. Heath, Jones and Hunt, Boston detec tives, which included trips to Philadelphia and other places, in which efforts they were aided J>y New York detectives, thej’ finally discovered some of the missing bonds on a man in this city, who was willing to sell them. Through his confession and information, on January *22d Detectives Hunt, Dunn, and some New York detectives, proceeded to Caihden, New Jersey, opposite Philadelphi^.ihenee-durmg the- ffight nine teen miles down tli^ shore of the Delaware to a cottage near the village of Wllfiboro, t^ e chief robber, a notorious counterfeiter, named Langdon W. Moore, alias Charley Adams, resided, who was taken to New York and committed on charge of burglary. Nothing was found on Moore. The house was thoroughly searched, curtains pulled down, carpets ripped, desks broken open, beds examined, the waiuscoating and flooring of all rooms examined, but the search wm un successful. On digging under the stable, however, they found a glass jar, hermetically sealed, a few feet below the surface* which contained a hundred thou, sand dollars worth of bonds. They next dug some four feet below the sill of a water-gate on the bank of the river, below high water mark, whef^ they found^ a tin box containing seventy-nine thousand dollars ill bonds. All the bonds have been identified by bank officers, and altogether $190,431 of stolen property was . recovered and given over to the bank officers. B^oore is here in prison awaiting a requisition, from the au thorities of Massachusetts. By statements made by Moore, he and an accomplice watched eight months for an opportunity to rob the bank, and succeeded in. doing so in broad dray light by using false keys while the cashier was absent at dinner. Moore's accoim ..lice was Harry Howard, alias “English Harry,"'who fas doubtless left the country. { Compensation fob Negroes.—When the negrq en listments were begun in* Kentucky, the act of Con.- gress authorizing those enlistments at the samo time made provisions by which loyal men were to receive pay for their slaves so enlisted ; the amount was $300. This now is over five millions. Tfie Secretary of War was instructed by Mr. Lincoln to appoint commission ers to adjudicate upon and arrange those claims ; but the death of the President occurring disarranged these matters, and Mr. Johnson has (as Mr. Stanton says) giyen no instructions about the matter. It will proba bly be some time before the debt is’paid. Gjcn.
