Mendez was executed, by order of Esco-
bedo, on the 10th of May. He was shot few
hours after the amputation of his leg.
When Macmillan gave up his sword to
Escobedo he said: I" / surrender 10 you nay
sword owing TO an infamous treason, without
which to-morrow's sun would have seen
yonrs in my hands"

BILE on the Goth OF May for the trial of the
Emperor.
Maximilian sent, through Diaz, "a telegram
to the Prussian Minister at the City of Mex
leo, together with Mariana Riva Publico and
Licentiate Martezzi De La Tore, to defend
him.
The following is Maximilian's procIaina-
ton:
"Countyymen After the vaIor and patriotism
of the Republican forces have destroyed my
sceptre In this place, the tenacious defense of
which was indispensable TO save the honor OF
my cause and of my raee-atter the bloody
siege ia which the Imperial and Republican
soldiers have competed in SELF -abnegation and
boldness-I will explain myself. Country
men, came to Mexico with the best OF faith,
confident of insuring the felicity Of all and
each of us; but, called and protected by the
Emperor of France, Napoleon Ill, he, to the
ridicule of France, abandoned me, cowardIy
and UNANIMOUSLY, by demand of the United
States, after having uSelesSly spent forces and
treasure, and shed the blood Of her sons and
your sons.
when the news OF my fall and death
reaches Europe all the monarchs Of Charlie
magne's country will demand of the Napo-
leoDic dynasty an account of my blood, and
OF the German, Belgian, and French blood
shed in Mexico. Before the whole world Ma
Poleon III will be covered with shame from
head to foot. To-day he has already seen his
Majesty the Emperor of Austria, my august
brother, praying for my life TO the United
States and myself a prisoner OF war in the
hands of the Republican Government, and
with my crown and my head torn to pieces
"COuntrymeD, here are my last words
desire that my blood may regenerate Mexico,
and that You will act with prudence and
the political cause Of the flag you sustain.
May Providence save you and make you
worthy OF myself. MACMILLAN"
special despatch to the Herald, dated
Queretaro, 26th ult., says Escobedo had is
su ed an erder that all Off GERS hidIng who did
summarily shot when captured Mendez did
not give himself up, and was caught Satur-
day night and shot early Sunday morning in
apublic park. He met his fate like brave
man. Colonel Campas the commander of
MAMMALIAN g body guard, was also shot No
place, though many are suspended. All the
french officers are missing. The prin cipal
prisoners are confined together in a church,
In very Indifferent quarters. Macmillan
continues i'll of dysentery. The wife of
Prince Salm Salm, an American lady, closely
relating to President Johnson made her way
alone to President JuareZ, at San Luis Poto-
81, to intercede for her husbands life and that
OF the Emperor. This lady has sped SO far in
her brave mission that yesterday, on her ar
rival here from San Luis, she, the Emperor,
and Prince Salm Salm had long inter view
With Escobedo, and there is reason to believe
that terms Were arranged by which the lives
OF most of the foreigners will be spared.
