MR. ROMERO TO MR. REWARD.
(Extract from a letter written by a commer
cial house In the City of Mexico.)
Mexico City, Dooemborl7. 155 The three loam
pat nion the market since the establishment of the
empire have burdened the nation with a new dobt
of nearly 880,000,01)0. or thin sum onlr small

From the above sum tbat remains, there has to be
Said ou the loihoi February, tbe supulated time, the
i8t payment tbat remains to be made on account of
tho lamous claim ot Jecker, wbicu was settled at
86,000,000, and of which 83,000 000 have already been
paid. The remaining sum ol 8500,000 has already
been drawn lor to cover advances made by the
1 renon to the Mexican army in Octobor and Novem
ber, and 8200.000 on the aocount oi 8600 000 due to
Maximilian for salary up to tbe end ol December.
1 he Convention ot Uiramar, as it was signed on
the 10i hoi April, 1864, has been fully and duly car
riod out, theie having been paid monthly to toe ex
peoitionaiy aimv 8471 000, wnich is tbe sum montnly
accruing, and whiou has been paid up to the 30th of
November ot this year. In this way it is asy to see
how it is tbat only tbe sum of 88,000,000 has remained
to come to Mexico.
From the estimate ot expenses for December,
January, and February, 1865 and 1866, an Idea can
be formed ol the sura expended by the Government
of Maximilian. It amounts to 810,000,000. The
?eme from national revenues is estimated at
83,600 000 Tbe balance ot the loans is 82 600 000,
thus leaving a dofioienoy of 84,000,000. But it, 'as I
behevo, the 82,1,00 000 to Jecker snail not be paid,
and v-hioh are inoluded in the above 810,000 000
oi expem.es, nor the suoveution to the railroad, or
tbo 860 000 which are remiited monthly to Yucatan,
nor tbe 815 000 monthly which are remitted to Now
York lor the press and oner purposes, as well as
various other sunn which are not vitally indispensa
ble, 1 believe that without other sources of supplv
the existence oi the Government may be prolonged
until the end of February. From that time lorward,
neither by tho jueatoxt extortions, nor bv dupli
cating the exac'ions ol to-day, can its existence oe
prolonged lor six months more.
THE CADIZ BANK ROBBERY.
Arrest or Four of th Bobber Des
perate Fight Between the Arresting
Party and the Thieves 8350,000 He
covered. We have already announced the capture of
four ot the robbers who relieved the Harrison
National Bauk.at Cadiz, Ohio, ol all of its availa
ble assets on Sunday morning last. Tho Steu
benvillo Herald, ol Tuesday afternoon, furnishes
the lollowing details of the capture: Yesterday
afternoon, about two o'clock, a party of some
twelve men, composed of citizens ot Jefferson
and Harrison counties, this State, and one or two
persons from Wellsburg. West Virginia, started
out from the town of Lacrange, on the Ohio
river, some nine miles below this city, in pur
suit of the Cadiz bank robbers. Captain Alex
ander Smith, ol New Alexandria, this county,
who has a thorough knowledge of that sectiun
of country, led the party of scouts.
After riding some three miles below the town
ef Lagrange, Smith deployed the party to the
right, taking to the hills for the purpose of
scouring a region of country somewhat secluded,
and where robbers might secrete themselves
without being easily detected. Awaytrom the
habitable portion of lands belonging to Mr.
Samuel Riddle, Wells township, and in a solitary
spot, 8mith recollected there was an old dwell
ing which had been unoccupied for years.
HavlLg determined oa a reconnoissauce in that
direction, he had the party halted some distance
off, and. with Mr. O. Sleramons, of Cadiz, pro
reeded to the hoiit-e, where they founj a tire had
been recently built by some persons lor the
purpose of cooking. There were live couls still
there, and entraib of chickens strewn about,
and other evidence that coking had been
going on there recently. Leading from the
house and through an adjacent wheat field,
and on into a deuse thicket, tracks
of men's feet were discovered, with some pecu
liarities, which Blemmons at once recognized as
the came as those leading from the hand-car,
New Alexandria Station which he pronounced
undoubtedly as those ot the robbers, who were
evidently not far distant. Captain Smith went
to the point of the hill, signalled the pnrty in
reserve to come up. deploying to the right an i
left of a small ravine, one of the party on the
opposite hill discovered the live desperadoes
closely huddled together, well armed, and with
manilestations ot resistance. The pursuing
party and the robbers, on seeing each other,
commenced almost a simultau" ous tirirnr -one
oi tbe robbers discoursed four shots at Charles
Hogg, of Cadiz, but without effect. In the mean
time, three ot the robbers escaped around the
point of the hill, two of thm were wounded one
shot through the elbow, stunned, fell, and rolled
down the raviue. Capt. Smith and a gentleman
by the name of Craig, from Harrison county,
secured these one ot whom fought like a tiger
but who surrendered on seeing a rifle levelled
fit him by a young man from this county by
the name of Hill; threw down his pistol, and
gave himself up a prisoner. Here some $150,000
t the stolen money was found In a Crtrpet sack
besides, Smith took from the pockets ot one
ot the prisoners $163 and a valuable gold watch.
The $160,000 secured on the ground was taken
charge of by Mr. C. Hogg, and subsequently de
posited in tne Wellsburg Bank. Smith, in com
pany with others, flanked the express train on
the Pittsburg and Cleveland Hailroad, which
(.topped, look the two prisoners aboard, who were
brought to Steubenville and placed in lail yes
terday eveuiug between the bourj of 5 anil 0
o'clock. As the train was starting for Steuben
ville, one of the party rode up and announced
that two more of the robbers had been captured
mnking lour that one was still at large, ar.d
that $100,000 of additional bonds had been se
TEE DAILY
curedmaking In all $2,10,163. This news is
contirmed this morning, and the two prisoners
taken subsequently to those brought to
Steubenville were conveyed acroes the
county last night, and deposited for safe
kerning In the Cadiz fail. There U nn
doubt but that the party who robbed the Cadi
rsatiK are tne same tbat made the attempt
on the Wellt-hurg Bank. 8mith took from one
of them a meenifjlnir glass, used in detecting
counterien diiis, wntcn, trom description, one
of the party had offered to sell to Mr. Jacobs,
the Cashier of the Wellsburg Bank, previous to
the attempt to rob tbat Institution. Tbe pri
soners here1 ere very reticent have but little to
rotrmunioate tbat will lead to their idnntitv
give no names say they have respectable con
nections, arm nave no disposition to bring any
of them into reproach bv theirdisreputable acts.
The prisoner shot in the arm. a desperate char.
ac'er. Is seriously wounded the arm being shat
tered oy a PI.-101 snot at tbo elbow, and physi
cians say his morning that to save his life it
will bo neci'aiy to amputate the arm above
the elbow. The other prisoner's wound is hut a
slight one a ball Irom a pistol passed across his
lingers. lacerating them, but breaking no bones.
The Jefferson county fall was stronslv guarded
last night, and a general desire pervades this
community that the mouev may not onlv be all
secured, but that the daring villnins be broti?ht
to that punishment the character of their crime
so justly merits.
THE LATE FORGERIES IN NEW YORK.
Tbe Entire Amonnt Over 83301,000 Far
tber Bevelopmenis.
It is believed that the lull amount of the for
geries of John Boss, the Wall street broker, an
aciount f which anneared in the Trilump nf
yesterday, will amount to about $400,000. The
iubs 01 iiiviu urocHoeeK uo., ot io. 30 Broad
street, is now claimed by the firm to be only
$19,000, they having loaned tbat amount to Ross
ou the spurious. Michigan Central Railroad
bonds. Otherwise the account which appeared
in tho Tribune was substantially correct.
The losses, so tar as ascertained, are as fol
lows: David Groesbeck & Co., $18,000; Cronise
A Co., $G3,0Ci; Black & Snauldiug, $03,125; the
union Dans, irizu.uuii; tee continental Bank.
suo.tiwi; total, 30j.787. The twenty bonds of
toe juicuignn uentrai Kailroad Company held
by Groesbeck & Co., which were left by Ross as
security lor the repayment of money loaned by
them to bim, are not positively known to have
been forced, although it is believed that noh 1
the case. The Union Bank also holds twenty of
xne same description oi bonds, these, too, having
n u UI JJUMH-II uj 1UIHB.
It is not known that any other bank or firm
besides the above have been victimized ; and in
any case it is believed that the entire amount
cannot exceed $400,000.
The strangest phase of the whole affair is the
fact that of all those who trusted Ross to mtch an
unlimited amount, not a sincrle person knew
him intimately, or bad the most distant Idea
what were his resources. Ho operated heavily,
paid the demands on him just long enough to let
his name be well known upon the street, and
then, haviue victimized all his leading business
associates decamped with the proceeds.
It is believed that Ross has had this oblect
steadily in view since J une last, when he first made
his appearance upon the street, and to carry out
his scheme successfully employed one or more
confederates.
The detectives are busily engaged upon the
case, but decline to give any mtormution.
