NEW YORK, August l6.--The HeralfS
City of Mexico correspondence says that
eighteen citizens have been arrested,
charged with conspiracy to abduct Maxi
milan and hold him until he consents to
abdicate. The Santa Anna-O rtega conspi-
racy is said to be formidable, embracing
the Archbishop of Mexico and other
prominent persons. The new ministry is
said to be very unpopular with the native
Mexicans. An insurrection recently took
place in the State of Vera Cruz, and five
hundred Austrians sent to quell it, with
Imperial officers, were captured.

The country is already smiling, and will
shortly be thrown into roar OF laughter
over the farce which the politicians are so
ostcntatiously performing on the stage of
the wigwam at Philadelphia. The piece
of stage trickery in which the Massachu-
sets and South Carolina delegations walked
arm and arm up the aisle of the wigwam,
appropriately headed by Governor Orr,
late a Senator of the Rebel Confederacy,
by Darius N. Couch, a general in the Union
army, who, in the midst of many opportu-
mites, failed to gain any military renown,
and followed by General E. W. Pierce, the
hero of Big Bethel, was an appropriate
opening of the great burlesque.
