The steamer Roanoke from Havana,

Vera Cruz, on the 18th, at Havana states
that Mexico was declared an Empire on
the 10th, and Macmillan, of Austria, pro-
claimed Emperor, if he will accept, if not
Napoleon is to select one. Statutes were
fired at Vera Cruz in honor of the event
= Details of the charge made ON Fort
Wagner show most desperate fighting by
Gen. Strong's Brigade. Scarcely field
or lire officer escaped wounding and many
were killed. At one time nearly the whole
rebel forces were concentrated upon the
54th Massachusetts colored regiment.
They fought heroically, and only retired
when the rest did.
Col. Putnam in command of the storm
ing party, after they had gained part of
the fort and planted the flag on the para
pet, sent to Generals Strong and Seymour
for relnforcements, but both those Gener-
ais had be wounded. Meantime his
party were being decimated by rebel grape
and when General Steyenson's brigade had
received orders to advance. it was too late,
since our gallant men had been forced to
retire.

the 18th day Of July the Copper
head factiot commanded by Maj. Gen.
Popejoy, attacked the Picnic corps. UNI

The attack was made principally upon
Adam Keith's division, which bore the Ma.
tional colors with the motto "Freedona to
neqroes end deatA 10 all traitors" This
declaration of freedom seemed to greatly
exasperate the Copperbead heroes, and the
battle ragged most terribly, grape and can
mister was used profusely which made in
roads upon the enemies ranks. Gen.
Popeioy become Hors du combat in the
early part Of the action under cross fire
from Brigadier Gen. Shebondy of Keth's
Division Gen. r. Snead seeing the crit
cal condition of Gen. Popejoy brought up
his reserve with the intention of thanking
Keith's division and to take the colors. He

strategy managed to get an entilading fire
upon Gen. Snead which completely discon-
certed his movement, forcing him to fall
back in bad order. Gen. Ballard display
played great military genius in executing
the movement, and too much honor can
not be conferred upon him. At 80 the
battle ragged with unnitigated severity
An incessant fire was kept up until Gen.
Snead fell badly wounded, leaving the
command to fall on Gen. Greenbery

ficer but totally incapaciated to maneuver
the veteran troops falling to his command.
And although his men were in great con-
fusion be made no effort to rally them what
ever. But retreated in perfect panic leav-

way possible. And were | commander-in-

E Al ParisIetter TO the Times says,
Gaere are some strange rumors in circula-
ton within day or two, which l give you
only as rumors.
according to these reports. another
change has been made in the Mexican pro-
gramlne. Mexico is to be placed under
French protectorate and to become a colony
of tie French, with French Prince for
Governor.
"The Confederates have renowned all
idea Of regaiuing the Mississippi river and
the trans Mississippi country without for
eign aid. Slidell's recent visit to the En-
peror, and bis Foreign Secretary, are said
to be in connection with this new state of
things on the Mississippi. They are con-
ccrting schemes for an allegiance against the
United States, with q riew Of securing
the one Mexico and the other the Missis-
sippi valley. The fall of Vicksburg and
Port Hudson, they say, will throw Jeff.
Davis and Napoleon into each Others
arms, and will be the final blow which will
precipitate an alliance that only hangs
fire because the question of the Missis-
sipppi may turn contrary to present expec-
tations.
at is this, they say, which makes Napol-
con so ukewarm on the question Of Poland;
it is this which makes him continually say
Mexico is big affair." it is this which has
suddenly demanded such large reinforce
mepts in Mexico.
"The whole division of Vinay has been
ordered to prepare itself for departure in
the month Of September, and several yes
sells are about to sail with reinforcements Of
artillery, men and material, though the
