HAVANA, January 10, lS67.-The re-
I port that Macmillan had gone e
Orizaba was, it appears, unfounded. The
French steamer Emperatrice EugeDie,
! which arrived here Ou the night Of the
: 10th inst, brings word that M3Nimiliau
} had gone 10 the capital and fixed his
residence on an estate called La Teja,
not far of. According 10 all accounts,
the condition Of the imperial regime was
daily becoming worse. \ draft was 10
be made in Mexico city to raise troops
for its defense, but the principal inhab-
iIants We're already in treaty with the
republican general, POrfiriO DiaZ, and
had offered him a large sum of money
10 save the city from pilage on the
emu 4AAE W AlA1 A'iAftFF N4llNA II " IL
supposed would soon take place.
On the day preceding Msximilian's
arrival, the following piacard was posted
at the corner Of the streets
MeXicans, The emperor viii arrive to-
morrow at the capital, and will fix his
| abode at the estate OF La Teja. The con-
/ sOling promises of OriZaba are therefore
! accomplished, all doubtings are about to
I be dissipated, all disquietudes TO be
Gained, and all the hopes Of the good are
about TO be realized.
DoyOu know, fellow coUntrymen, what
| this event signifies IL signifies that
| Mexico has at its head a prince OF a mag
unanimous heart, and that the country
can be saved from anarchy, dissolution
and death.
The return of the sovereign to the
capital has always been a cause Of Joy for
its inhabitants. Much greater ought It
to be now, when, rising above every
thing, he comes tC offer afresh his arm,
his heart, and his life, on the altars Of
the country that implored his safeguard.
MeXicaus The emperor carries in his
hands the trigdrGnt banner, and comes
TO die with Us, if it is required, fOr the in
dependence and liberty Of the nation.
Let Us fly TO meet and tell him that We
are grateful and patriots, and let us die
by his side as loyalists and cavaliers, CON
tending likewise for liberty and indepen-
denee.
All of your children Of trss noble city Of
MOntezumas and COrtes, men Of all par
ties and opinions, who have not your
hearts perverted by political passions,
who can appreciate grand virtues, vail
ant deeds, heroic resolutions you who
hold a. something the honor of your
fha fronluffHFNr az LaarFhG
the future Of your nation and race, come
and salute our august emperor as the first
citizen, the first patriot, and the first
chief of Mexico come and contemplate
in this generous prince the symbol of our
liberty, our Independence. and our glory.

Maximilian. however, did not enter the
capital, having gone, as mentioned
above, to la Teia but his arrival there
was Dotified 10 his subjects in the me-
tropolis 10y the ringing Of all the church
bells at the hour Of his arrival II am.
on the 5th. The road leading to there
was filed with carriages and persons on
horseback and foot, desirOus to show
their adhesion 20 their sOvereign-at
least the newspapers on the imperial side
in Mexico City say sO-but whether il
was the case or not could only be deter
mined by an eye witness, a. court news
papers, like other courtiers, are extremely
fond Of tiatteriug, and not very restrained
in their language by regard to the
truth. The same papers say that the
emperor, a few hours after his arrival
held a conference with his ministers,
who had been previously summoned for
that purpose.
Miramon, who had left the capital, !
1.
tiers at Leon, in the state of Guauajueto, /
and not far from the state capital OF the
same name-the city Of Guanaiuato,
which il was reported had been taken by
the republicans but this is now contra
dicted, although the first report is more
likely to be the correct one. Leon, how
ever, at last accounts, was garrisOned by
force of Mexican impeTialists, the
French troops having left it. According
To 4 telegram received at the Office Of the
secretary Of war in Mexico on the 9TH,
Miramon had arrived at OueretarO, and
sent word on that day of victory gained
by two Of his generals ,Chacon aud Al
varez) over the republicans Of the city Of
ZapO;lan.
Macmillan and the French authori- I
ties have come into collision about the
payment of customhOuse duties. The
FrHutN aAkltDElLlFN ~ TIE tlIlktAl4 lSeAFts
q short time ago, a circular stating that
goods proceeding from Vera Cruz, and !
which were in the cuStomnOuse of Mex !
leo city, having been Iassed with the
usual fOrmalities, would be given up to
their respective consignees, a French /
agent being placed near the customhOuse |
Of the capital and commissioned to see
that this arrangement was carried into I
effect The same circular likewise states I
that the delivery OF goods imported by !
Vera Cruz, and their dispatch from that
port, would not be permitted in favor Of
those commercial houses that refused TO /
accept and pay the checks presented /
from the French treasury for the pay
ment Of eustOmhouse duties.
On the other hand. NaEimilian's Off /
cial paper, the DiuTiO dei KHDcri0, pub |
Iished on the 7thr has the following
"We are authorized 20 Iuake known TO /
the merchants who have goods in the /
customhOuse Of this capital, proceeding 1
from Vera Cruz, and brought with pa /
pers that are not in accordance with the 1
laws Of the empire, that toe representa- |
tives Of France are unauthorized 10 place /
agents in this custOmhOuse for the pur- /
pose Of facilitating the withdrawal Of |
such goods for even supposing that the I
convention Of the JOth Of July was IN all 4
its vigOr, the action OF such representa- /
tives would still be limited 90 the offices /
Of the port, without at all being extended |
to the Interior custOmhoases. Wherefore, 1
il the above goods were Withdrawn with /
out a previous arrangement with the I
respective Office of Mexican revenue, /
their owners would be liable to the con- |
sequences in conformity with the exist 1
ing fiscal regulations"
Everything at the capital pOrtends an /
early evacuation by the French, and it /
is even said that Macmillan will be of /
at the same time; that he is now prepar /
ing himself for such a step, and that the !
putting of Of tine national congress-fOr 1
which an assembly OF the notables snow 1
10 be substituted-is for the purpose of 1
sbdicRtlng. His minister Of the treasury,
Camp0s, has wished 70 give up his place, 4
being unable TO cope with the difficulties 4
that surround him,
The French legation ia the capital
have issued to the French residents the
following circular:
LEGATION Or FRANCE IN MEXICO, |
January 8, lsG7. :
The Emperor Napoleon has deter
mined that the French residents, vino
wish 10 leave Mexico, shall be re-
at the same time as the expe-
dictionary corps.
Persons who intend 10 make use Of
this favor Will be pleased 10 make it
known as soon as possible at the Office Of
the legation.
