New YORK, January l.--The steamers Liberty
and Columbia, from Havana, have arrived.
The steamer Vera Cruz, from Vera Cruz, with
dates to the oath, and Havana dates to the 29th
ult., has arrived.
The Empress Charlotte reached Vera Cruz on
the 10th, on her return from the visit to Yuca-
tan, which was pronounced very satisfactory.
The Imperialists claim to have gained another
victory over the Republicans under Porfrio Diaz,
on the 4th ult., near Comitefa, in which the
famous leader Thomas Sanchez was killed.
MaXimilian appointed Don LUIS Arroyo Assist
ant Secretary of Foreign Affairs, and Don
Manuel B. Cunha Refs exclusive Superintendent

laborers.
General Quintanilla and his Private Secretary
were assassinated on the Goth of November, on
one of the highways, by their military escort,
with the object of plunder.
The Republicans have taken possession of the
town of La Paz, Lower California.
An announcement is made of the final preva-
lence of peace in the Departments of La Sierra

was daily looked for.

CITY OF MEXICO November 25.-The capital of
the Montezumas is now as gay as Venice In days
of yOre. Think of the feelings Of Guatinloet-
Yin if he could come to lite and see q Hapsburgh
seated on the place he so braVely defenped from
the soldiers of his ancestors. The court festlvi-
ties are of an extravaganza which would well
become Golconda ITSELF
new decree of the utmost Importance has
been promulgated, regulating the liveries to be
worn by the servants OF the digntaries of the
Empire, and the amount of respect to be shown
by the police and other authorities to SAID
liveries, under date of Novemberl.
On the anniversary of the birthday of the
Archduchess Carlotta we had a grand review.
high mass, and reception and grand ball in the
Palace.
The news from the South and the interior is
not fiattering to the Empire. General Diaz is
carrying all before him, a3d the whole State of
Oaiaca is now in arms against the Invaders.
Even the valley of Mexico is not free from the
bands which now infest it. The whole coast be.
tween Vera Cruz and Tuspan ls now in the hands
of the Liberals; as also all the coast south of
Vera Cruz as far as Sisal.
The recent movements on the part ofthe Libe-
rails have forced a corresponding movement on
the part of the French troops, who are now said
to be concentrating in the central plateaus, pro-
baby near San LUIS. On the 29th the French
troops under General Brincourt evacuated the
State OF Chihuahua and the troops ef the Empire
are said to be evacuating Durango and Sonora.
1t has been impossible to maintain their com.
munications open, and hence they h9Ee been
forced at last to give up what has cost tfem so
many sacrifices to conquer Many believe these
movements are caused by recent menacing
demonstrations on the Rio Grande, and also the
suspicious movements of the American fleet on
the Pacific.
The Austrians have again met defeat at the
hands of Colonel Figuerra; the 9th Hussars have
been terribly cut up. On horseback the Magyars,
as they call themselves, have been unfortunate.
We have this moment details of the siege Of
Matamoras, and extracts OF Marshal Bazaine's
letter to General Mejia, in which he tells him
ito use every means in his power to procure the
documentary evidence that neutrality had been
violated which ought to reign between two
Northern frontier has the double protection of
the Emperor of Mexico and of the Emperor of
the French
The Empire, as have said before is not at
peace since the barbarods decree OF this Impe-
rial puppet called Emperor. Threatening death
to all found in arms seems only to have aroused
the people to greater pitch OF fury. What is
most ridiculous is the assertion shat President
Juarez had abandoned the Mexican territory;
while at the same time the FrenchEwere evacu-
atmg the frontier States thus leaving the whole
OF Chihuahua and Durango in his undlsputed
possession. %
The financial difficulties still seem insurmount-
able No revenue can be collected outside the
gates of the large cities, and trade is paralyzed,
as the roads are in too unsafe condition to
allow the transportation OF merchandise into the
| Interior.
In spite of the many efforts and remonstrances
of General Bazaine, the extravaganza of the
Court cannot be restrained; in fact they did not
come TO Mexico TO economic; 1t was an Ri
Dorado in which they dreamt OF swimming in
gold and precious stones.
A most speculative tendency has also arisen
amongst the courtiers, and the speculation in
