WASHINGTON, May 26 – Semi official dispatches received to-day under date of Orizaba, May 29th, state that the French troops had advanced to within three leagues of that city, where they encountered 10,000 Mexicans, who attacked them with success, killing 500 of them.
It does not appear that President Juarez and his Cabinet had fled from the city of Mexico as was stated recently.
