The cews from Mexico begins to grow inter. esting. The latest inteiligence—to July 2-- shows increasing weakness in the French- Austrian Imperial Government, and it is thought by some that the indications point conciusively to the fact that the Empire is about used up. £l Diario del Imperio, the official journal. says in reference to the mission of the Empress to Europe “Her Majesty goes to treat personally with | France upon various important points which | have already arisen, a= well as those which may present themselves in tutare. Various calses Must necessarily be settled previous to j the sailing of the French army, in order that the Emperor may be able to finish ‘his work of } regenerating the country and affirming ner desumies. France and Mexico have to examine delicate points upon imternational | + tomake provision for tie future, and to adjust matters which concern the interests of both nations.” Now this means, if anything, that withon, | sd from abroad Maximilian must follow the Empress. 1t wasso construed at Vera Cruz. where tbe Austrian man-of-war Dandalon had | come to an anchorage, ani was taking on board a large quantity of provisions, and it was re= garded 3s 4 fixed fact that Maximilian anda large body of Austrian troops would soon em- bark on her for Europe. The queerest part of the news, however, is the report that Marshal Bazsine would oppose the flight of the Emper- or, “by force if necessary In consequence of the interception by Maxi. nilian of several letters from Santa Anna to 2 nthe City of Mexico, numerous ar- had been made, and sixteen prominent men were tried for conspiracy, and sent to Yuesten. Santa Anna's estates near Dalapa, were confiscated, se Al millions of dollars being by this means turned into the Imperial treasury. e Itis thought by some that if the Emperor bad displayed such boldness and determina- tion earher, his present position would have been less eritical. Lt-was also reported that Senor Sacunza, the Minister of State, and three other Cabinet Min- isters. with other cfficials in the service of the palace, were arresied. The latter circum. stamee shows that the disaffection must be very general. ee SUBGEONS WANTED AT NEW ORLEAN: Majer General Baird, Assistant Comm sioner of Freedmen’s Affairs in the State o; Loaisiana, gas telegraphed to the Commic- sioner to have two additional surgeons de. tailed to report for Guty at New Oriecans, with | as little delay as possible, as none could be obtsined there. Aithough the despatch did not state the reason for the sudden demand for medical aid, in view of the fact that the num- ber of medical officers in that district has very recenily beem reduced, it is suyyposed that the requision is made for the purpose of boing fully prepared to meet every necessity arising from the prevalence of the cholera in New Orleans, <aeegeersenece=t§—te— shes COMMISSION ON CLAIMS APPOIRTED. Major Gens. Hunter and Uanby and Sudge Advocate General Holt bave been appointed by the War Department 2 commission to ex- amine and decide upon the justice of all claims made against the War Department. Their ex- aminations will be confined to <nch claims as | bas not yet been acted upon, and the decision ef the commission will be final. pe is RE 2 cic INTERNAL BRVERUS ECISION ON BANK. , The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has been receiving numerous inquires respecting the ten per cent. tax on banks and banking associations, asking Whether the law applies to private banks, doing business without a cbarter. To whieh the Commissioner has re- plied that section 6, act of March 3d, 1865, | amended July ith, i566. imposing the ten per cemt. tax for paying out the notes of State bamks does not apply to private bankers do- ing bosiness without a charter, but if a private banker receives and paysout the notes of State banks. as the agent of a national or State bank- ing association, or of a State bank, sucn private banker renders himself liable to the statute. DECISION AFFROTING STATE AGENTS. it bas been decided by the Second Comp- troller that military State agents. who are paid by their States, and who are collecting claims | gratuitously, are exemj'<! from that portion of the act of daly 26, 1266. in reference to ¢ bounty to co! troops, which requires the agent or attorney to file with each claim his | oath that be has no interest in the bounty be- yond the established fees for its collection. ‘Tue Festane—Address of James Stephens.— | Mr. Stephens bas delivered an address before ak gatbering of the Fenian Brothernood. in which he reviewed the present condition of the Government at great length.

New York, Acgust 1:—Midnight—A de. spatch received from boyd Bay to-night states that the cable across the Gulf of St. Lawrence, from Asby Eay to Port Au Basque, was under- run to a depth of seventy-five fathoms. That portion of it lying in water over sixty fathoms deep was foand imbedded in mud, and was in a splendid state of preservation. [t wasfound to have been broken in two places by the an- chors of fishing vessels. It was spliced at a distance of thirteen miles from the shore, but night coming on very dark, witha high gale, accempanied by rain anda heavy sea, they were obliged to cut the cable under Cape North, where it was safely buoyed in thirty fathoms of water. Mr. Mackey siates that he shall await 4 fine day to land the endofthe cable. It tests weil, ud there is no dorbt that New York will soon be in satistactory telegraphic communication with London. +re- DEATH OF A PROMINENT MERCHANT.—The death of Vito Viti, an oid and prominent mer- chant of Philadelphia, took piace in that city on Thursday.

The Atlantic Telegraph, through which we were promised two dispatches every day—one for the morning, and one for the evening pa- pers—has been treating the afternoon journals, including the Star, rather shabbily for some dayé, by not furnishing anything in time for them. We neld our pesce, knowing the difi- culties of inaugurating the new method of com- munication, and hoping the difficalty, whatever it was, would be overcome. Our patience is rewarded to-day by the receipt of a rather startling “cabellam,’ (the new word for cable dispatch,) which we lay before our reaaers, announcing that Joha Ball, who was only half aroused from his lethargy by the Reform riots, has had a sen- sation in the sbape of x new “zunpowder plot,” being nothing less thin an attempt to blow ap the two Houses of Parliament. That is news. Think of Guy Fawke~ being revived, with all his terrers, in the nineteenth century. ‘The continental news is alse of interest. It seems the two great powers, Russia and Prus- sia, are cousulting. In the unsettled state of politics in Europe at present, every event looking towards new combinations 1s of im. portance. ae eee - DELEGATES 10 PHILADELPHIA, The judges of the election held yesterday for delegates to the Philadelphia Convention, are to-day counting the ballots, but they will not be able to announce the result until to-night.

General Davis Tilison, Assistant Commis- Sioner of Freedmen’s Affairs, has rendered his report ofthe operations of the Bureau in the State of Georgia since his assignment to duty there, in which he says that since the enact- ment Ot laws by the State guaranteeing to the freedmen all tbe rights of person and property enjoyed by white citizens, the Burean has labor. @d persistently to restore the supremacy of civil law. and its enforcement in such manner as to protect all classes of citizens, irrespective of color or condition. It was notexpected that bs: fort would. be followed by immediate success, but enougu has been accomplished to render the future hopetui. The best men in the State exhibita growing disposition toin- stst upon justice for the freedmen. It is becoming Apparent to the public mind tnat this is absolutely neeessary to the peace ard prosperity of the State, In the high>r courts the rights of freedmen sre thoroughly protected.and this is true in the majority of cases brought betore the ty or other infe- rior courts, Still there are many instances where, through the prejudice of the people or the incompetency of the magistrates, the freed. men are denied the protection of the law, and where the interference of the Burean is essen- tial to secute justice. The General says, far- ther, that the planters depend upon the con- tinnance of the Bureau te control labor and make it reliable, And the freedmen to aid them in obtaining their wages. Its removal now would be followed by doubt and uncertainty on the part of one, und of distrust on the part of the ree The most intelligent piantere en- moval ofthe Ba inion, and would regard the re- moval of the Bureau.and its agents at the pres- ent time as & public misfortune OEBDER BEVOKED.
