TIE LAST OF THE MEXICAN EMrrRE-
Following the late news from Mcxico-that
the Imperial army under Miramon had been
utterly defeated, and the City of Qucrctaro
taken by the Liberals-wc have now adviccs
from Ve,a Cruz to the 18th, stating tiat Gen
Bcnaycdcs, on the part of the Liberals, was
about to assault that city. He was only wait
ing to receive artillery for the purpose. He
had n report also that the Emperor Maximil-
ian had been captured, but this does not ap
pear to be reliable. The previous accounts
stated that when Qucrctaro had been taken it
was found that Macmillan had mystcriousy
disappeared, and there is now no circunlstan-
tial account of his having been pursued or
discovered 1t is probable that the ex-Em.
peror will cndcnvor to make his way to this
country, and he may avail himself Of Uni.
ted States gunboat now lying at Tampico.-
Whatever may be his fate, it is evident that
Imperialism has made it's last stand It Is
now said that the order of Juarez, the Rcpub-
lican President, is to take him alive and re-
spect him as prisoner of war. In view of
all this, Mexico would deserve congratulation
were it not that the old contest is likely to be
revived between the adhcrcnts Of Juarcz and
and Ortcga, or other cheftains, for the mas
terry. ("
