When the Manhattan sailed from Vera Cruz
Macmillan was still at Orlzaba, almost pri-
soner, under the surveillance of Marshal
Bazaine's officers. He had, up to that time,
declined to abdicate, so 1t was reported at Vera
Cruz, though it is generally believed that his
remaining In Mexico any longer Is entirely out
of the question. In fact, the authority OF the
Imperial Government, and every semblance of
respect for it, Is hardly to be found any
where. Even in the only four clties-Mexico,
Puebla, 01izaba, and Vera Cruz - where
French garrisons and Austrian or Belgian volun-
teer corps, the Imperial Government is mere
name, the Projects caring very little for the
orders or DEGREES of the Emperor, obeying, from
fear of force, the French officers in command.
Maximrlian has discharged his entire Imperial
Guard" of which, as we have stated above,
three of our informants were officers. He also
dismissed nearly the whole staff of his house.
hold, retaining but few. Most of these have
already left for Europe direct in English and
French steamers.
The "Empressn Carlotta is said to have been a
well-intentioned lady, completely possessed by
the conviction that she had sacred missionn
entrusted to her by Providence for the regenera.
ton of Mexico. Yet, though amiable and con-
descending in her personal intercourse, she was
naughty, proud, and domiD ring, qualities
which her consort could not accused of; and
thus, while possessing grea' energy and more
than ordinary mental capao is, she could never
reach to even that limited degree of popularity
which Max for a time enjoyed.
The departure of Mr.. Campbell, American
Minister to the Government of President Juarez,
accompanied by such distinguished military
hero as General Sherman, for their destination,
is said to have made a profound impression in
Mexico. The native Mexioans, SO the gentlemen
named report, hate the Yankees" like deadly
poison.
They, we are told, fear some grand scheme of
annexation, and in the event that anything look
ing to the realization of their fears should be
attempted, would, all parties never so hostile to
each other, unite to oppose, and, if possible,
to expeI the "rapacious invader from the
North" This may be so, or it may be, as pro-
badly it Is, merely the wish, which is SO often
father to the thought" OF our Austrian
friends who found their Mexican career so
suddenly and so unpleasanty brought to a
close, and all in consequence of the fixed deter.
mlnation of the American people and the firm
stand taken by our Government against the
creation of Mexican empire under the influence
and even the lash of the French Emperor. Be
that as 1t may, we give this piece of information
impaired to us for what it is worth.-Nec

cut-Suspi piciOns and Surmises.
From the Hartford Times of Saturday eUeniag.
All the surviving sufferers by the arsenic
poisoning in Cornelius Pecks family, at Berlin,
passed a comparatively comfortable night last
night. There is some hope now of saving the
life of the servant girl, Eliza Fox. Mr.. and
Mrs Peck are also in a somewhat less critical
condition. The son and daughter are decidedly
better.
The body of Nelson Taylor, whose sudden
death three months ago causes suspicion now,
was disinterred to-day. Professor Barker,
chemist, of Yale College, was present 1t was
found to be not wholly decayed, but somewhat
preserved in a dessicated form. The stomach
especially was well preserved, AID DIR. Ellsworth
expressed the opinion that this is due TO the pre-
senee of arsenic in it. The report of the chemi-
cal analysis of the stomach and Viscera of the
old lady, Mrs. Peck, for reasons unexplained,
has not transpired.
Last night Mr. Peck made a statement to some
friends and acquaintances. He believes that
the nurderous act was done by person who
has an interest in a member of his family, and
he names that person.
What foundation there is to the theory of Mr..
Peck-himself suffering victim to this dark
plot-Caunot as yet be ascertained 1t will be
seen that it Is different thsory from the one
involvingsthe lawsuit, the death OF Nelson Taylor,
etc. One unusual circumstance in connection
with it deserves, perhaps, to be mentioned.
On Monday night last, after the death of one
of the victims, DR.. Stone, one of the physicians
present, discovered q man who seemed to be, in
the darkness, prowling around the house, and
calling to him he ran, the Doctor pursuing, but
unsuccessfuly. AS we are told, the same thing
happened the next night, or the one succeeding,
with similar result; and again last night, the
chase proving unavailing. Who the interloper

known,

share OF the military administration of the De-
partment at the time for having done things
which it ought not to have done, and omitted to
do things it had engaged and was trusted to do,
incurred more real responsibility for what hap
