FROM MEXICO.

The important announcement is made that Maxi
milan of Mexico, has determined to withdraw his
troops from all their outpost positions concentrate
them mainly at the three points of Mexico city Vera
Cruz and San Louis Potosi and await the arrival of
his expected reinforcements from Europe. 1t is be-
heved that as this disposition is made of
his present force the people of the evacuated dis
tricts will rise in favor of the republic
As confirmatory Of the adoption of this programme
by the lmperialists, report comes from San
Francisco that they have abandoned the entire State
Of Sinaoa, with the exception of the town of Mazat
lan where only eight hundred of their troops many
of whom were in hospital, remained, and that their
communication with the interior had been cut off by
large republican force, which also threatened the
town.
The Legislature of Lower California had passed an

soldiers, il is said that Maximilian, fearing trouble
with our government, has concluded to abandon his
contemplated visit to Yucatan, and in his stead the
Empress Carotta will go thither alone. Afterwards
she will leave for Europe. From Washington we re-

RECEPTION OF GENERAL GRANT IN
NEW YORK.
Scenes and Incidents,

General Grant was made the victim OF the erandest
reception he has yet been called upon TO endure in
New or last evening. The spacious parlors OF the
Fifth Avenue Hotel were jammed with more than
two thousand citizens, representing tho wealth.
beauty and intellect of the Metropolis, all eager to
pay homage to the illustriOus soldier The affair was
conducted with disregard of expense characteristic
of the Gothamites, and the confusion and disorder
usually prevalent there on such occasions.
One account says
The atmosphere was simply fearful, the Jam was
almost unendurable the confus ion Of Babel couldn t
have approached that which regned The presenta-
ton business was really very absurd. Every man
and woman insisted upon shaking the General by the
right hand was shockingy swollen and shapclcss.
Some pous and reverend people offered little prayers
for him as they passed, and others judged it good
opportunity OF making pretty
like these:
I'm so glad to see you, General, God bless and
preserve you many years
God bless. God protect you DEAR dear GencraI!'
want to talk with YOU old fellow, about Chatta-
nooga.
Il had brother in the Twenty ninth Connecticut,
wonder if you knew him?"
These and scores besides were said to the General
who solemnly permitted his hand to be pumped m
and down at the will of the merciless popuace. So
far could see, besides tendency to blood in the
head there no fatigue or change in him from the
time of commencement until the close. He rarely
spoke, save when some old army acquaintance or
some ,particu ary charming lady made remark, and
then his words were brief and to the point

RemOnstrance Against JeT Davis Pardon

N
NASHVILLE, November 17.-Mr. Trumble's S
resolution, demonstrating against the pardon
of jeff Davis and others, was called up and
amended by adding the names Of James Bu-
chanan and John c. Breckenridge to the list
declared infamous and worthy of death, ON
motion of Mr.. Keith, who stated that he had
been Democrat, and had been deceived by
them. The preamble and resolutions were
then adopted-l5 to 5.
Mr.. Frazier, of Knox, in voting NO." ex-
planned that he concded with much pleasure
in the preamble and resolution, but there were
things in them for which he could not con-
scientiously vote.
Mr.. Bowen presented his protest against the
resolutions as adopted as follows:
l. The preamble and resolution are, in his
opinion, partial and unjust in their discrimna-
ton. III that they leave out names equally or
more guilty than those mentioned.
?. To say that James Buchanan is one who
observes and ought to receive the extreme
penalty of the law is. in his opinion, absurd
and even criminal. Whatever his political
opinions were. there is not the slightest pre-
tence that he ever committed any overt acts
OF treason for Whlch ne could be tried and
convicted in any court on earth. Such re-
solves, under such circumstances, become
nothing else than mere denuncation of passion
and party rancor, the tendency Of which can
only be evil.
These features. in his opinion. mar the force
and beauty of the truths which constitute the
body of the paper, and give them the appear
ancc of being inspired by the spirit Of vim
dictiveness, the tendency of which will be to
make the men mentioned candidates for mar
tyrdom.
The undersigned would have voted for the
measure, if he could have been permitted to
amend it, so as to have stripped ii Of what
appears to him to be its vindctivc character.
At his time oflife, he is conscious of too many
errors and too much in need of forgiveness not
to be willing to forgive all men, and can there
fore consent to no measure which carries with
it the appearance of vindictiveness In the
form the measure passed, the undersigned be-
licveS it will do more harm than good
