Major General Commanding:
New York. Oct. 26th.-City of Mexico cor
respOndence. dated October 10th. SAYS Marshal
Bazaine has received no less than three separate
orders 10 return To France, in accordance with
the expressed wishes of MaxiImilian. but as these
orders were not Ieremptory, but conditional, he
avai!ed himself of various excuses 10 remain.
The first order arrived some i've OF six months
since, but instead Of obeying it he replied that
affairs were so critical and 50 complicated that
no General direct from France could understand
them. If he should he removed it would cause
great disaster to the French troops and ruin I'M
perial interests. The second order was met and
promptly settled upon the ground of Madame
Bazaine's delicate situation. The opportunities
of the Mexican Government soon caused a third
order, but ii did not find the Marshal unprepared
with an answer. He was engaged in forming
plans for the withdrawal of the troops. If he
should leave. it would change the plans for con-
centrating the forces in Mexico. As soon as the
third order had been disposed of. BaZaine left the
city in hot haste for San Luis POtosi, and while
he was IN San Luis. Matamoras fell and the
French garrison at Tampico suffered capture
without any attempt being made to relieve them.
Upon his departure from the City of Mexico the
Marshal appointed General De Herhat to the
command of the city, with orders to have in
readiness, at any moment, a large force of caval-

before his (the Marshal's) return. vt this june

handed the portfolio Of War to Gen. Osmant, and
that of Finance TO Gen. Freant. Bazaine inter-

resigned his post. but Freant was made of sterner
stuff. He informed the Marshal that in serving
Macmillan he was serving his own Emperor
that the interests OF Mexico were those OF France.
| As they REQUIRED his attention. they should have
them. and if Marshal BIzaine should choose to
dismiss him (Freantl for disobedience Of orders,
he would appeal TO Napoleon in person. General
Freant repeated the same words 10 MAMMALIAN,
and added hat as Il soldier Of France, Us soon as
lac saw the interests OF his Emperor and those OF
Mexico come into conflict, that moment he should
resign. Freant was not dismissed the service,
but, to smooth over the matter, his name Is no
longer among the Mexican Ministers, though he
still holds the Office and continues to administer
the Bureau Of Finance.
The Empress CarlOtta' 5 ultimatum to NAPOLEON
was aid or abdication. and when her demands
received an cvasive reply, she said to the Empc-
ror Of France. We have time to abdicate.'"

manner, advised against such a course, concluding

these few words is built the hope of further aid
from France. Everybody here appreciates the
fact that uufriendly relations exist between Max

Insanity of the Empress.
The y. Y. HerGld'S Paris correspondent says
The Empress CarlOtta is insane. She is at Mira
mar. During her frequent interviews with the
Pope she gave evidence Of excited mysticism and
feyerish piety. Her failure with Napoleon and
the pending downfall of her throne in Mexico,

father, Leopold-sO preyed upon her mind that.

refused TO quit the Vatican. The Holy Father
treated her with much kindness and invited
foreign ladies of distinction 10 remain with her
in the Palace, where she remained over night,
contrary To rule and precedent.
Aletier from Rome, in the Gazette, give further
details of this sad affair. In her first interview

with great earnestness the question of the con-
cJrdat with Mexico, and insisted. with much
pertinacitv. on obtaining concessions which were
deemed inadmissable. The letter says all that
was irregular and eccentric in her conduct toward
the Holy Father must be attributed to this merry
Gus excitement, from which she has suffered so
long. and which frequently distuTbS her reason.
She went at last, one morning at nine o o'clock,
10 the Pope, without any previous announcement
She declared 10 him that she was the object OF
atrOciOus persecution, and that there were de-
signs on her life that an attempt had been made
TO poison her at the Hotel de Rome that she did
not believe herself safe and could not dine there.
The Holy Father received her with paternal
kindness, tranquilized and treasured her. and

where she PASSED the rest Of the day. In the
evening an effort was made to get her TO return
t. her hotel. but she refused, constantly repeat
ing that she was followed by aSsas>ins, and that
she believed herself safe nowhere except in the
Vatican. Her mind again wandered, and she
even objected to swallowing a glass of water,
fearing poison. The Pope then ordered apart
ments to be prepared for her in his palace, where
she passed the night and the following day. She
was subsequently, conducted u Miramar. Her
medical attendants hope that care Will restore
her reason.
