FROM FORT MONROE.
A MURDERED UTED

FORTRESS MONROE, June I3.-Private
John Mcmahon of company f, goth New
York volunteers, was hung to-day for wilful
murder at the Rip Raps, according to the SEN
tence of the court martial approved by the
commanding general, The circumstances of
the case showed no mitigating facts, the pris-
oner having calmly and deliberately shot
private Michael Dolan of the same COM
pany and regiment, at the same time using
the words :-"God have mercy on your
soul" The prisoner pleaded guilty to
the charge of wilful murder, and the
plea having been confirmed by the court,
he was sentenced to be hung to-day at noon,
it having been appointed for the execution by
Gen. Wool. The sentence was carried into
effect by the provost marshal, Lieut.. Blakley
Everything was carried out in the most exem-
plary manner, and the prisoner died with
scarcely struggle. Up to the very last he
appeared Indifferent as to his fate, and refused
to make any explanation of the object of his
act, which therefore remains a secret. After
hanging half an hour, the corpse was cut
down, placed in a coffin, and will be buried
this afternoon. Immediately after the execu-
ton, general order was read, RENTING the
sentence to be shot for sleeping at their posts,
of priyateS Patrick Flarity Co. f, and John
Dillon, Co. II, both of the l06th regiment
An arrangement has been made between

an immense amount of distress among the

ers; but the latter were released, as there
was not food enough to feed them. The Mex
leans were actively terrifying the capital, and
the French will march against it when rein
forcementS arrive.
A statement was current in Havana that the
French designs are not so much against Mex
leo as against the United States. There was
great disatfection among the French officers
leading to appeals to Napoleon. The Eng
fish minister concluded a treaty with Doblado
and it is said that Ceballos, agent of General
Prim, has also concluded ratification of the
Almonte treaty. Taragosa has a force of
fourteen thousand men, and Ortega was eX-
pected in Mexico with eight thousand more,
and recruits were coming in from all points,
Marquee, the rebel chief, is in Vera Cruz,
and about imposing forced loan on foreign
merchants, and it is supposed that the English
admiral would protest, though some thought
he would not, as it might displease the French.
Venezuela dates of the 10th ult. states that
there has been an outbreak of the soldiers at
Laguayra, but it had died out.
The yellow fever was increasing at Ha-
vana. The schooner Constitution arrived at
Havana May 9th, from Sabine Pass, with a
rebel cargo, consigned to the British consul,
Crawford
Nassau dates of the 18th note the arrival of
the rebel steamers Cecil on the 9Th, and the
Kate on the 9th, from Charleston, with dates
from rebellion of the I'd inst The Bahama

southern star is in the ascendant, and their no.
bic courage is meeting some reward" 1t

raid in Virginia
The steamer Nellie attempting to run the
blockade on the 9th, was run ashore after
being shelled by the federal cruisers, and her
cargo was landed on Long Island slightly
damaged but the vessel was pretty badly
used up. The steamer Tubal Cain with a
cargo for the rebels had arrived at Nassau,
from Liverpool, consigned to the rebel agents
Adderley & Co. The inhabitants of Long
Island are reported actively engaged in plant
ing cotton seed.
