On reaching Fredericksburg, at half-past 11 o’clock Saturday night, a number of persons of the vicinity gathered at the station and called for a speech, but the President merely thanked them for the manifestation of their respect, and shook hands witn some of them at parting. At Ashland, at two oclock in the morning, he was met by about twenty persons, one of whom extended to the President a cor- dial welcome in their name, remarking that they were not far from the birthplace of Henry Clay, which neighborhood Patrick Heary also rendered historic. The President, in response to an invitation to address them, said: “Gentlemen, accept my thanks for this compliment.” The railroad train arrived at Richmond at 3 o’clocka.m. The President was met at the station by Mr. McFarland, the president of the City Council, and_ several other members of that body, Mayor Mayo, and ex-Mayors Saun- ders and Sturdivant. These gentlemen ex- tended to him a cordial welcome, and iavited him to accept the hospitality of the city ot Richmond. The interview was rather infor- mal, but pleasant. The hacks in waiting con- veyed the party to the Spotswood Hotel, where they were accommodated with the best apart- mente. The President’s chambers are those heretofore oceupied by Jefferson Davis, and subsequently by Gen. Grant. The President and party will leave this morning for Raleigh.

Capitulation ef the City ef Mexice—Max- imilian and all Officers abeve the rank o1 Lieutenant to be Shot. There has been received at New Orleans a cenfirmation of the news of the fall of (.uere- taro, and of the advices sent relative thereto, together with official correspondence from Vera Cruz. The intelligence from Vera Cruz says the surrender of the Imperialists was heard of ali along the lines. The City of Mexico has certainly capitulated. General O’Haran was shot there for correspondence with the Liberais, Vera Cruz will soon sure render. Upon the surrender of Maximilian Juarez sent to Vera Cruz, Puebla, and the City of Mexico dispatches similar to that sent to General Berriozabal, at Matamoras. These State that all the Imperialists, their ammauni- tion and supplies, were captured on the 15th ult. Maximilian and all officers abeve the rank of heutenant are reported to have been shot at seven o’cleck on the evening of the 16th, by officers who escaped and arrived at Brownsville on the 27th from (Queretaro. Pri- vate letters received at Matamoras state that Juarez had ordered Escobedo toexecute Max- imilian and his generals, and tne official paper of San Luis Petosi, after narrating the par- ticulare of the fall of (Jueretaro, states that the Secretary of War forwarded orders to Es- cobedo on the 15th to shoot Maximilian and bis generals. The Liberal forces which took Queretaro sisted for the capital on the morning of the 15th. Commodore S. D. Payan, of the Mextcan pavy, has been ordered by Berriozabal to com- mand an expedition to Vera Cruz, Uarmen, and Campeachy to terminate the struggle. The Liberals took possession of Brazos San- tiago on May 24, and also of the steamer Gen- eral Sheridan for naval purposes. The reply made by the Mexican Govyern- ment to the intercession on behalf of Maxi- milian, concludes ss follows: “The French gone, the Archduke Maximil- 1am has desired to continue shedding the blood of Mexicans. With the exception of three or tour cities yet domineered by force, he has seen the entire Republic rise against him. Notwithstanding this he has desired to con- tinue the work of desolation and ruin by a civil war, without object, surrounded by some men known by their plundering and grave as- sassinations, and the most forward in bring- ing misfortunes on the Republic. In case there be captured persons on whom rest such Tesponsibilities it does not appear to me tha: they can be considered as simple prisoners of war, for these are responsibilities defined by the laws of nations and by the laws of the Re- ublic. e The Government, which has given many proofs of its principles of humanity and eenti- ments of generosity, is also obliged to consid. er, according to the circumstances of the cases, what the Erinciples of justice demand and the duties which it has to perform tor the welfare of the Mexican peeple. The Government of the Republic hopes that with the justification of its acts it will continue to have the sympa- thies of the people and Government of the United States, who have been and are held in the highest estimation by the people and Goy- ernment of Mexico.” FROM EUROPE.
