MAMMALIAN LEAVING.
n, Sunday, October Il, the Emperor
.,rtcA from Mexico for Orizava, whittier
:, went protessedly for his health, and to
rs .Yta hin, 10 receive news from the En-
s-s.s more frequently and quickly. But
= generally understood that although
80 ;Surncv may have been undertaken
".i,inally Ter these purposes, 1t viii result
:, h.. reaching tie coast and embarking
,or Europe. His health has suffered much
;.ro fever and ague contracted at Cuerna-
r,ra. The sad news Of the Empress's ca.
,amKv he's completely Frustrated him. He
l,> been prevented from leaving Mexico
isr,-c only by Carlottas wish and determi-
nation that they should remain.
We passed Macmillan on our way down
latwccn Mexico and Rio Prio. He was
sling ut an hacienda by the way, and
Ali 10 I've suffering from on attack OF inter
au'!cnt fever.
Ihe road as far rs Puebla we found
guarded hy detachments OF French and OF

Mexico.
GENERAL cAsrELNAu, 1.
tic aid camp of the Emperor Napoleon,
and special commissioner from France to
Mexico, arrived at the capital Sunday
,-,'. october 81. He met the Emperor
x.&imiiian at Ayotla, on the road near
Nrziro. aUd, after salutations each went
l,> respective way. No official communi.
cation appears to have passed between
rda. Macmillan isreportcd TO have de
lined communicating with the General on
t%r affairs OF the country until his return
- Mexico. II is very doubtful if General
C.Nclnau has much business to transact
viii. him. The coming ofthis commissioner
hs.hccn waited in Mexico with the greatest
interest and even anxiety. Everything is
cfu.t there, and all are waiting the de-
yranmcut Of the new policy, whatever
ilatuty he. Some say that Bazaine will
h. NJ the head of affairs, others say Cas-
,rln4u, others Juarez, or Santa Anna, or
Or,r,I, under American protection. Every
one la, his say about the future Of this
poor country. but no one seems TO know
What it will be.
The CONDITION OF TIE COUNTRY
+aui.c as bad rs it well could be in every
aspect. The finances are exhausted. The
crops of barley and Indian corn, the main
say Of the people, are short. Corn is
worth twelve dollars the "carga" Of four
bushels in the capital. The neighborhood
o. tie city and the country generally is
ovrun with bands Of guerillas professedly
Liberals, but in practice baDditti and cut
,l.roal>. 4 band under one Antonio Pence
took possession last month Of Apam, vii
Drc nifty miles from the capital, sacked
tie houses, carried off some Of the inha-
niuI,s for ransom, and finished by VIOLA
,lgg the best women Of the town in the
puddle sguare, under the direction Of their
leader. AZ the same place they stopped
he work on the railway 70 Vera Cruz, and
took two of the locomotives used in the
construction 10 hold for ransom, demand
iag 5000.
The main road to Vera Cruz is infested
with these guerilla bands, in some cases
numbering no less than 900 men, who
commit rUbberies and violence OH all
alike, be they French, MeXicans, or
Americans. On the night Of the 22d
oi October they entered f&so del Ma
chu, tie present terminus nf the rail-
wsy from Vera Cruz TO Mckee, and stole
90O mulcS from under the noses 0f a French

smith. well-known American, who has a
large capital invested in the business Of
Transporting freight to Mexico. A few days
t.tpyc, these liberals exacted on the high
1ay 1000 toll OF the wagons going to
NJ, xico. The morning OF liberty seems to
have fully dawned on poor Mexico.
IMPERIAL MEXICAN RAILWAY.
This great enterprise, on which the work
has been almost entirely suspended for
some months past by reason of financial
and other difficulties, is in fair way TO be
ry,umed this winter Gf the state Of the
country shall allow under safer and more
promising auspices.
George B. Crawley, the contractor for
the works, has arrived in Mexico from Eng
and, and it is expected will soon be able to
adjust all difficulties and push on the road
to completion. Already eighty-six miles OF
track have been laid from Mexico, and some
= .U0O,00O have been expended. 1t will
require twelve or fifteen millions more to
complete il. ASAHVAC.
Since writing the above l have seen the
Washington dispatch announcing the ac-
tual abdication of Macmillan. There Is
no better foundation for the assertion than
