a Liberal General in the EIOur Of
Triumph-EscObedO's Proclamation
and Address TO his Army-AutIentic
NevVs from Querafaro


News from QueretarO.
We have received our files Of the Rio
Grande Courier to May 3lst. In the issue
of the Both we find the following, which
puts at rest many of the conflicting tele-
graphic rumors that have been current for
some time:
SICKNESS OF MAMMALIAN.
The Queretaro Boletin Of the 10th, says
that Maximilian last night sent a messen-
ger demanding the General-in-Chief to send
him his physician. DIR. Rivodeneira was
sent. The Arch-Duke is attacked with a
strong disentery.
From the same paper, we take the fol-
lowing proclamations of Escobedo:

ADDRESS TO THE ARMY.
Mariana Escobedo, General of Division
of the Republic of Mexico and in Chief of
the army of the North, and commanding
the troops operating upon Queretaro.
SOLDIERS: To your valor, constance and
sufferings, the Republic is indebted for one
ofits triumphs. The grandest obtained in
the long struggle which the nation has had
with the invaders and their accomplice.
The rebel city QueretarO, the strongest fort
of the Empire, after heroic resistance Of
two months, worthy of better cause, has
succumbed Fernando Macmillan, the
so-called Emperor, Miramon, Mejia, Cas-
tillo and large number of Generals chiefs
and officers, with all the garrison, are our
prisoners. | would fail to do my duty as a
soldier, and be a traitor to my conscience
as a free man and loyal Mexican, if | re-
mained silent upon your heroic deeds and
more heroic sacrifices. With the faith of
the soldier who defends the independence
of his country, without food and often with
out a single cartridge, you have challenged
death, fighting increasingly against larger
numbers of troops composed OF traitors and
foreigners, who were provided with all the
elements of war, perfectly fortified and
op'lyassslsd. byatAse Ag5t Generals of the old
army, who unfortunately failed to do their
duty by allying themselves with the in
vadeTs, and sustaining to the last hour the
foreigner, that another foreigner the
Emperor of the French, wished to be placed
upon a throne erected with the bayonets of
his soldiers, but these, alas, exist no more,
its rests have flee to France, to hide their
shame, loaded with the curses ofthe whole
country, aud carrying the sad news that
more than half of their comrads have paid
with their blood, the caprice oftheir master.
COMPANIONS IN ARMS; Ii is of no i'm
portance that ambitious men have at the
price Of their conscience misrepresented
your deeds, the truthful history will place
each one in his respective place, and neither
the enemies of the Republic nor those who
have remained quiet at home in the cities
occupied by the invaders, contemplating
their disgrace with Indifference, will exalt
themselves over those who like you have
fought constantly and without rest for the
sacred principles of independence and Lib
erty.
SOLDIERS: In the name of the Republic
and the supreme government, l congratu-
late YOU with all the effusion of my soul,
and consequent with the programme which
has been traced to nae, will continue until
we have secured peace and order, and with
it the future destiny of our country.
Long lire The Republicl
Iona lire the national independence!
