It is understood that Vidauri will turn over to the French at the proper time the States of Nuevo Leon and Coahuila, and that the French commander will then make him governor of Tamaulipas. Juarez has appointed General Negrete military governor of Nuevo Leon and Coahuila, and he is now marching against Monterey. Troops have also been ordered by Juarez to Piedras Negras. This express also brings statement of the loss at Guadalajara, making it 1,000 French and 3,000 rebel Mexicans prisoners, together with a number of pieces of artillery.
