Lieut. Colonel Pomeroy, of the Engineers, was confirmed as a
Brigadier General go-day.

When the steamer left, there was danger of trouble between the French and
Spanish forces, as the former were still acting under orders looking to the
enthronement of Maximilian, which the next mail would, however, countermand.
