New ORLEANS, Nov. 25.--Maximifian has
taken the decisive step Of abdicaton.s The
rupture between himself and the French
government being complete, he has left Mex
leo in the hands of Bazaine and Castelnau,
the latter of whom is understood TO have
full authority from Napoleon to supersede the
marshal himself If necessary. W ~
The late Emperor left Vera Cruz on Tues
day, and may be expected on his way to Eu-
rope on Monday or Tuesday next.
The CONSERVATION OF the Mexicans at find
[ ing the question of their future RENTED alb
solutely to negotiations between France and

no party.

troops have been sumnarily suspended.
BANGOR, Nov. 26.-The reasons given by
the wooden manufacturers for the closing of
their mills are that wool costs more in its
original form than the. manufactured goods
sell for in the open market, Commissions
also engrcss 5 per cent. Cash sales command
discount Of per cent while government
duty on the gross amount Of sales Is per
cent. Dyestuffs and oils are likewise heavi-
ly taxed. Labor is high, and goods sold at
the present time command only about two
thirds OF their actual value.
Although many Of the factories have al
ready stopped working, the glut of goods is
still felt 10 be excessive. Other mills must
inevitably follow the course of events and
close until better times.
