FROM MEXICO. "A despatch to the


World, of the 21st instant, says:
Maximilian has not sailed. nor is it
likely he will sail soon, as the French
would not allow him to leave until he
signs Il formal abdication.
A little indiscretion OF the COM
mander Of the Austrian frigate Don
dalo has been the cause of this.
When Maximilian left Mexico,
Gen. Bazaine thought that he came
to Orizaba merely on little excur-
sion, as he had gone to Cuernavaca
and other places.
Day before yesterday, the COM
mander Of the Dondalo received at
midnight q despatch from Maxi
milan, ordering him to have his fri
gate ready yesterday, at 5 o'clock D.
M, at which time NIaximilian ex-
pected to be here, and wanted to sail
at once. AS soon as the Austrian
commander received this despatch,
he called on NJ. Peyron, the French
commander, to take leave of him.
He showed the despatch he had re-
ceived, and asked orders for Trieste.
NJ. Peyron sent at once this informa-
tlon 10 Oen. baZalne, Who despatched
instructions by telegraph to the
French commanders at Orizaba, Cor
dova and Vera Cruz, not to allow
Maximilian to escspe, and addressed
himself to the Arch-duke, stating
that he knew his plan to fly from
Mexico, but that he could not be per
mltted to do SO, unless he wonld for
mally abdicate. The reason of this
conduct is, that should Macmillan
leave without n formal abdication,
the position of the French wonld be
very difficult and ridiculous, while, if
he abdicates in their favor, they will
be released from their engagements
toward him. 1t is said that Maxi
milan will be obliged to return to the
city of Mexico and submit to Baz
Zaine's terms.

MANACLING MR.. DAVIS.
Extract from the Diary Of the Surgeon o
.fE HNf p Fortress Monroe.


On the morning OF the asd Of May, u
vet bitterer trial was in store for the
proud spirit-a trial severer, probably,
than has ever, in modern times been in
ficted upon any one who had enjoyed
such eminence. This morning Jefferson
Darts was shackled. ~. i,ftu- ut
1t was while all the swarming camps of
the army Of the Potomac, the Tennessee
and Georgia-over two hundred thou
sand bronzed and laureled vetcrans-were
preparing for the grand review the next
morning, in which, passing in endless sue
cession before the mansion of the Presi-
dent, the conquering military power OF
the nation was to lay down at the feet OF
the civil authority, that the following
scene was enacted at Fort Monroe:
Capt. jerome f. Titlow, Of the Third
Pennsylvania Artillery, entered the pris.
oner's cell, followed by the blacksmith OF
the fort and his assistant, the latter car
rying in his hands some heavy and harsh
|ly rafting shackles. As they entered,
Mr.. Davis was reclining on his bed, fe-
yerish and weary, after sleepless night,
the food placed near to him on the pre-
ceding day still lying untouched on bis
plate near his bedside. M .a.
Well" said Mr.. Davis, as they enter
ed, slightly raising his head.
II have an unpleasant duty to perform
sir" said Captain Titlow; and as he
spoke the senior blacksmith took the
shackles from his assistant.
Davis leaped instantly from his recum-
bent attitude, flush passing over his
face for moment, and then his counte-
nance growing livd and rigid as death.
He gasped for breath, clutching his
throat with the thin figures of his right
hand, and then recovering himself slow
/ ly, while his wasted figure lowered UP to
its full height-now appearing to swell
with indignation, and then to shrink with
terror, as he glanced from the Captains
face to the shackles-he said slowly and
with a laboring chest. mW .4a
"My God! you cannot have been sent
to iron me ~ .s.s, ,isf
"Such are my orders, sir" replied the
officer, beckoning the blacksmith to ap-
proach, who stepped forward, unlocking
the paddock and preparing the fetters to
do their office. These letters were Of hca-
w iron, probably .6ve eiyhths Of an inch II
thickness and consscted together IN a chain
Of like tceight believe they are now In
the possession of Major General Miles,
and will form an interesting relic.
"This is too monstrOus," groaned the
prisoner, glaring round the room as If for
some weapon or means ofself- f-destruction.
IL demand Captain, that you let me see
the commanding officer. Can hepretend
