VERA CRUZ, September 6.-It will be remem-
Dere0 that the French steamer Sonora was char.
tered, by order OF Maximlan, at the rate of
$500 per day lor every day employed, to carry
bearer OF dispatches Ohe same to be telegraphed
from New Orleans to Carlotta) to the quarau-
tile station on the Mississippi river. Before
the Sonora started there "quite time of ip
between the Imperial agents and the consgnees
of the steamer. The latter did not permit the
vessel to Leave until $4,000 was paid down n adj
vance, and good security given for the payment
of at least as much more. The Sonora went on
her mission. On the Attn inst she returned and
was put into quarantine. .r
this act, alleging that he had no one sick on
board, and that as the vessel did not go up the
Mississippi further than the quarantine station,
1t therefore was free from ANYTHING luxe cholera
poison. But the Imperial Mexican health Off
Ger refused TO listen to the captains protests
and remonstrance, and told him, Ion must
stay there and the Imperial Mexican captain
of the Port refused to interfere; and thus the
affair stood for the moment The captain OF
the steamer finding that II was hSed TACT that
he must go into quarantine, refused to let any
thing (includiug the Emperor's despatches)
leave the vessel, or to give news OF any kind.
People say that soon after the arrival of the
Topp0ldanocS telegraphic despatch was sent
to Macmillan in these words:-" [OdO es 6nutu."
{All is useless.) BY whom 1t was signed is
still matter kept secret One rumOr is to the
effect that Ut was signed by C&rlotta, and
another that 1t came from an agent in France.
All kinds of exciting rumors were spread
about upon the arrival of the steamer. What
ever news she did bring certainly had depress-
ing effect upon the Imperialists. The French
officers SAID that todO es jnutu represented the
situation at this time perfectly.
In consequence Of the late unfavoraole (for
the Imperialists) news received, there are many
wild rumors atioat. One is that Maximan IS
actually a prisoner in the city of Mexico; that
he has been watched by BaZaine and by the
sameDprevented from too suddenly leaving the
country. IT is still said that Macmillan asked
Bazaine to place strong force of guards on the
roads iIom the capital TO Vera Cruz, and that
Bazalnes answer led the Emperor plainly to sec
that he could not leave until the Marshal saw tit
to let him do so.
There is no doubt of the fact that the breach
between the French and the Imperial Mexicans
(MaximilIan's party) is a wide one. and that
they are and have been for long time past at
loggerheads but as they are both in difficulty
here they set as seeming to be friends, and
nothing more.
There is nothing Just at this moment to show
that the French are not going away. Opera
tions have been commenced in earnest to open
the Jaapa route. The garrison at Jalapa has
been strongly reinforced.

The work OF constructing new Notifications still
progresses. u
The Criterio says that the more the Liberal
small bands are thrashed, the bolder they get
and the more damage they do. ..
The Indians of Yucatan are now giving the
Imperialists great trouble.
Some victories in the neiehborhood of Taluca
and in Mchoacan are reported for the Imperial
lists, but they are not confirmed. Hence we
omit the so-called details We have been so
many times deceived by similar reports that
now we Lave to take "a long consideration" to
give them credit.
The law levying tax of fifteen per cent.
on all purchased Church property has been
found TO be imperative.
On the 9th uIt. Macmillan ssued decree
for the establishing OF company to explore
routes for and construct railroad lines in the
States of Gueretero, Guanaiuato, Aquas Cali
entes, San Luis Potosi. Zacatecas, Nayarit ia
lisco, Mlchoacan, and Matahuaa. The capital
of said company is fixed at $2O. 900, divided
into 500 shares, and the company is to use
horse power and steam power on their lines.
Letters received here from Paris state that
recently papers have been seized in that city
that compromise certain MeXicans residing
there in the most serious way. They are MeXi-
cans who pretend to be friends of the Empire,
but kept up intimate correspondence with
Romero and Santa Anna. They were accustomed
to frequent the Mexican legation and one of
them was on the most intimate terms with
General Almonte. The French Government
handed over the papers seized to the Mexican
Minister.-N Y. Herald.
