AtabOut lOa. N. yesterday, long string
of gentlemen, each on the best horse hC
could turn out, and about two hundred ca.
leches with members Of some the leading
families of this city-but not all mark
went out TO meet the new Emperor, about
a league from the garita, and l may say,
/ to hear for them during some hours the
burning rays Of tropical sun in full force.
AT about p. m. the meeting took place
on the Santa Cruz rancho The imperial
couple got out of their carriage to salute
the families who came to bid them well
come and give them proofs oftheir respect
and love, --r .g-' r--.-
THE RECEPTIOK.
An hour later a great dust was seen In
Hsotion of the city, and in little time
Of carriages and mules could be dis
HlEad, in the midst Of which was TO be
'Hh a brilliant body of French Officers
Inb 3 Aw minutes a salvO of one hundred
- one guns began to thunder forth. and
the bells of the city rang a noisy peal,
heard in the intervals of the firing. A
crowd Of persons, with colors in their
hands, gathered about the Imperial car
riage, and then ensued a scene of noisy
welcome, the men shouting and waving
their flags, Maximillian bowing, and the
French officers about him smiling, and so
on. Nivas rent the air, and all went on in
such way as to please the best friend of
the new. ruler. Ii was. really an ovation.
SCENES IN THE STREETS.
And now to describe as briefly as l can 4
the scenes in the city In the following |
order the Imperial eortege went through |
the city: First came a small body of caval- |
~ TO clear the way,-then the mayor, the
project, the persons attached to their ma
esties' household, the ladies of honor his
sxeellency the minister of state the grand
marshal of the court then the imperial
'ouple, with General Bazaine on the right
If the carriage and General Salas on the
eft of it. After the carriage came General
\ eigre and the Mexican generals and their
'taif Closing the march came the body Of
roops acting as the escort of honor.
On arriving at the cathedral the cortege
vas received in the porch by all the COM
nittees there waiting, under the direction
# the sub-secretaries of state. Over the
hain door Of the cathedral vvus a very
Dretty arch Of flowers. 1t was of great size
nd made totally of pinks, red and white
be latter color serving to letter the inscrip-
to his Emperor Maxi
milan l., June IL, 1864" 1t was put up
y the poor, and its aroma filed all the
'orch with a sweet odor.
THE MEXICAN TROOPS
The Mexican troops in French pay
bat is the men who are to form the impe-
ial army-made good turn out to day,
specially the laneers, who, with their gay
ennons and small but snowy steeds, cut
ute a dash. ARMS
of Maximilian, I do not think very
luch from his face. 1t does not show any
reat quality; and it Is even heavy. The
louth Is bad, the lips being thick, and the
yes are very middling. He may be and
undoubtedly is, a good man, and have the
bihty so necessary to a prince about to
II the Mexican throne, but, of a surety,
e does not show it. As to all his acts and
'eeches here, they have been cut out for '
i'm and pre-arranPed Time will show
