After a few mo- ments they appear, drawn in earringes and «# large guard around them, the Emperor first, Miramon next, and Mejia last. As they near the place of execution, convulsive sobs byeak from the erowd. The carriages atop, and the prisoners get ont, Among the conclave you can hardly see a dry cye. Tokens of dissatisiac- dion ave manifested. Maxiasilian, on alighting, is sa. Inted by the people. In an easyand graceful manner, and with an elastic step, he marched to the fatal spot, ‘The prisoners were dressed in a plain manner. They were not bound nor blindfolded, In taking his posi- tion, the Emperor spoke in 2 clear and firm manner, and with nothing of bravate. He seemed to feel his situation, and said when he was first waited upon ar home by the deputation from Mexico who enwe with bese oa tv offering him the Government of the country, he refused. Ata subsequent mecting the proposition was again presented, and he replied that if convinced that dee malochy thought that it was to their interest to place him ut the head of the Government he might consent, Another deputation waited on him and brought on testimonials, Upon advice from the Powers of Lurope, who advised him that there was no other course to pursue, he accepted the call, He -demed that the court that had tried him had a right. to do so. Ilis wasa case of good faith. The nations of the world bad pledged their faith to him. He never would have done the act had ft not Ween for the good of Mexico. In conclusion. he hoped his blood would stop the effusion of blood in the country, Miramon spoke from a paper, The only regret he felt in dying was that, should the Liberal party retain the Government, his children wonld be pointed out as the children of a traitor. He told them that he was no traitor, but had always op d liberal principles, and -had always been agaiust the disorder of the country. He should die as he lived, a Conservative, satisfied to die for his coustry, ‘The fame of his acts would live. and posterity would ie whether he was right or 4 wrong. He closed with the words, + View la Emperor! Viva la Mexico!” Mejia made no address; he went to Escobedo and said he would die poor; that he had never made an effort to make money. His only wealth consisted in forty cattle in the mountains. He asked that the mer- chants of Matamoras, to whom. he owed considerable, would not press his wife to pay his debts When they came into Ssion of the nioney left them by the kindness of the Ewperor. — - After Miramon ceased speaking, the guard Was drawn ap. The prisoners were standimg facing them. The ror enlled the sergeant, and drawing from his fet. a handful of $20 picees, he gave them to hil, and requested that after his death he woulddivide them with his co a asking aa a favor that he would aim his bullet at his hears. “Che officers gave the signal, the volley was fired, and the prisoners lay stretched on the ground. The Emperor was not quite dead. There was considerable quivering of the muscles, Five balls had entered lia breast. ‘Two soldiers avere then called out, who shet lio in the side. Miramon. and — were killed by the first volley. Each of the four balls entered in the breast. A sheet was thrown over the Emperor by the doetor, who was to embalm hia body. The bodies were then taken by their respective friends, and the moved back to their quarters, while thousands remained, kept by a super-natural agency. MEXICAN NEWS.

Minister to Mexico, as -be did. sa recalling one from Austria, they might have been saved ; Mexico has gone back to the days of Carthage and Rome, and crowned her vietory with bar- baric Jaurels.” Such is the substance of the Tribune logic, and it cannot be denied that ithaa the force of irath in . concludes thus: When we say that our action might have spared her this, we remember Mr. Cam bell idling ja New Orleans without orders, the United States abeo- lutely unrepresented st the Liberal head quarters, and the subsequent appuintinent of an unknown forei ner tg ® position which none Lut American statesmen should fill. This 1s the pitiful pohey which resulted in the deliberate refusal of the only boon we asked Mexico to grant--the lives of the vanquished. We gave her ayin- pathies which were stronger in the end than aries and yet Mr. Seward can obtain for us nothing in res turn but a trampled flag. : Tho Zi ibune's articles may have been diets the ‘hee of giving a color to Amerivan laseteedon, in the affairs of Mexico, and possibly to the speedy an- nexation of the whole country, which it foreshadaws but at all events it contuings « great deal of: trutn. and exonerates Napoleon trom much of the oly uy , 4 ed upon him in connection with!
