THE CITY OF MEXICO EVACUATED By THE NE

CANS.
San FRAScIsco, June 30.-Adviccs from
the city OF Mexico, from the 30th Of May tt
the 9th of June, are received. The news il
OF the highest importance
President Juarez and his Cabinet had con
cludcd to cyacuatc the city Of Mexico, be-
lieying that the most efectual resistance tC
the French army could be made outside Of the
wall.
On the 3lst of May the Government moved
to San Luis de Potosl, taking all the movcabl'
firearms and munitions of war along.
They also took with them two millions Of
dollars from the treasury.
The force that garrisoned the city OF Mcxl
co, said to number twenty thousand men, wa:
Withdrawn to the Cuernaraca plaza aud t.
intermediate points around the city, for tllC
purpose Of carrying on guerrilla warfare.
On the lst of June meeting was held III
the city, ut which the principal leaders OF the
church party were present. They sent
commission TO Gen. forey to offer their allie
gianco to the Emperor Louis Napoleon.
On the 9Th the French division, under Cen
city, and afforded tie church party. protection
against the excited populacc.
The whole French army was expected to
occnry the capital on the Sth Of June.
Th:ec newspapers had been established -,
vorins the policy of the French.
One of these papers states that the occupa'
ton of the city Of Mexico settles with abso'
lutte certainty that it is necessary TO cxtrpatc
by the root, the democratic element, and nc
longer need there be even dream Of popu'
lar sovereignty.
Gen. Forey has issued decree confscating
the property Of all parties who have been OF
are in arms against the French.
This news is derived from letters received
here from high Mexican officials.

rEACE MOVEMENTS.

4 rcqusition to the Lord Mayor was. in
course of signature in the city of London,
urging his lordship to call and preside over
4 public meeting to petition Parliament to
promote the restoration Of peace in America.
The L9ndoH "Timcs" has an editorial on
the peace meeting, recently held at New
York, under the auspices of Fernando " ood
and others. The Times" sees in the meet
ing some reason for thinking that the civil war
may he touching its close but at the same
time admits that it is Il very doubtful qurs-
ton. 1t remarks that if the meeting should
prove influential enough to liberatc opinion,
we may perhaps wonder six weeks hence
where the strength of the war party could ever
have lain-ju as in France, after the fall of
Rohespierre, people asked each other who
could have been the Jacobins. There is ev-
erything, except the uncertainty OF American
politics, to make us regard such an event rs
probable. 1t would almost seem that the
President himself would have no objection to
peace if he knew how to reach 1t. Perhaps
this meeting may show him the way. ii an
armistice were proclaimed, we believe that
neither party would be in q hurry to renew
the war, and the desire of peace would supply
the two governments with the strongest mo-
tive for coming to reasonable terms OF separa-
ton.

FRANCE IN NIEXICO.

The French-Me: ;ican War may he said to
be finished. The capture of Pucbla laid
| open the city of Mexico, and it is presumed
| that the French f ,rces have marched into the
metropolis All the great European powers,
| with one remark able exception. have formally
congratulated the Emperor on the triumph of
his arms which is generally accounted by
them to be the triumph of civilization, and
regular rcspons ible government; all of which
Mexico sorely needed. England, however,
has, in the mcst marked manner, withheld
the diplomatic congratulations to- the Empe-
ror. In truth. that Power is violently pro-
voked and cx,isperated at her III icient rival es-
tablishing herself so triumph antly in so
splendid 4 country as Mexico, with Il position
so commanding upon two oce:lns and Eng
lish journals persist in ascribing to the En-
peror, Notwithstanding his protests, the inten-
ton of permanently occupying and gorerning
Mexico. The Times" asks us Confederatcs,
how We shall like to have Franco for neigh
Dor at the South? We answer remarkably
well. Another newspaper, the Daily News"
endeavors to make a question of race upon it;
declares that the whole enterprise was in:
tended to carry but the ideas Of III. Michael
Chevalier-that Mexico is to be permanently
occupied for the glory and profit of the
" Latin races" and, thereupon, tries to
alarm the susceptiEilitieS of what it calls the
" Anglo-Saxon race" With all this we have
no concern All this prate about traces" is
either stupid pedansry, or else an impudent
apology for expressing those races whose Lands

raiders got home safely. 4 large force OF
Yankees, estimated at five thousand, came out

Yankees posted in force. We drove in the
Yankee pckets, but finding the raiders coming
up in the rear, fell back after an animated
artillery skirmish. Our men behaved gal
lantly. No casualties reported on our side
