officers hiding, who did not surren
der in twenty. four hours, would be
summarily shot when captured.-
Mendez did not surrender himself up,
SO he was captured Saturday night
and shot early monday morning in

like a brave man. Colonel Camp,
commander of Maximilian's body
guard, who attempted to escape with
| $4,000 when the surrender took place
was also shot. No other executions

| Prince Salm Salm .an American lady
closely related to President Johnson,
has made her way to Juarez at San
Luis, to intercede for her husbands
life and that of the Emperor. This
lady had sped SO far one her mission,
that yesterday on her arrival here
from San Luis, the Emperor and
Prince Salm Salm had a long inter-
view with Escobedo, and have reason
to believe terms were arranged by
which the lives Of most foreigners
will be spared. Miramon it is ex-
pected will die Of q wound received in
trying to show fight on the day the
city was betrayed. Report says
Lopez, who let the liberal troops into
Maximillian, when he gave up his
sword to Escobedo, said; ~ surren-
der my sword to you owing to infa-
nous treason, bit for which to-mor>

The following proclamation has
been issued by Maximilian:-
| "CoUNTRYMEN:-Afterth the valor and
patriotism Of the Republican for
ces have destroyed my sceptre in this
place, of which a tenacious defence
was indispensable to save the honor
of nay cause and of my race, after the
bloody siege in which Republican sol.
diers have compelled admiration for
their boldness, | will explain myself
"CoUNTRYMTN-I came to Mexico
profoundly animated with the best
faith Of lnsuring 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,
abanded me, coWardly and infamous
ly, by demand Of the United States,
after having uselessly spent forces
and treasure, and shed the blood OF
her sons ana your own. w men news
of my fall and death reaches Europe,
all monarchs Of Charlemagne's coun.
try will demand of the Napoleonic
dynasty an account of my blood shed
in Mexico; then will Napoleon be COW
cred with shame from head to foot.
To-day he has already seen His Maj
esty the Emperor of Autria, my au-
gust brother, praying for my life to
the United States, myself prisoner
of war in the hands of a Republican
Government, and with my crown and
my head torn to pieces.
"MY CoUNTRYMEN:--Here are my
last words. desire that my blood
shall regenerate Mexico, and serve as
a warning to all ambitious and incau>
tious princes, and that you will act
with prudence and truthfulness, and
ennoble with. your virtues the polit-
ical flag you sustain. May Providence
save you and make you Worry of my
self. Signed, MAMMALIAN.
