I1AxIMILIAN 4ENTBN CED TO BE SHOT.
AS is well observed by contemporary, tbs
generally best tolkeep Mexican news a few
days before recording it among the facts; but
the late tidings Il the capture of Maximillan
and his great. jers are so affirmed aud re-.
affirmed, that we suppose we are at once to
take them as tue. Macmillan has been
made prisoner ind together with his gener-
ale, .-siersd to % shot.
1t is reported that Querataro was captured
by the, Liberals on the 10Th of May, and
General EscObedo announces that among his
captures are Maximillian AID his Generals,
Moijia aud CASTILLO, who surrender uncon.
ditionally.
This is followed up by dispatch that CISCO
bedo reported from the interior that uarez
ordered the Archduke and his Generals to be
shot" 1t is very doubtful however, whether
Juarez will resort to this extreme measure.
p. S. Since the above was in type, we learn
by the report in the papers of yesterday, that
MaximilIian has been really, and as we con,
ceive, cruelty executed The world will
hold Napoleon responsible for his untimeIy
end, and the occurrence of the one event, is
but the presage as to the downfall of the other.
