Maximilian Prepeses Terms and Juarez Rejects Them, Dreisive Action of Porfirio Dinz---Danger of a War of Retaliation, kee, Our City of Mexico Correspondence, Crev oF Mexieo, June 25, 1864. The pressure of time, the abundance of matters to com- municato, and my desire to take advantage of the oppor- sanity ofeed by the Spanish mail steamer to forward fy ‘ast communication, prevented me from sending you Any detailed account of the entrance of Prince Maximilian fato the cuptial of his new empire, I now, however, fave much pleasure in transmitting a detailed and con Peoutive parrative of his movemen!s from the moment of We arrival on the borders of the chiet city, and of ihe @eremoni’s and rejoicings which took place on the occa- sion. In order tbat your readers may fully comprekend ‘Be movements of the imperial party so as to form acan 4id conclusion from the facts presented, T will resume my aarrative whore | last left it off, and follow on the foot. stepe of ‘bis Majesty” from the moment of his arrival at Rie Frio to bis advent at Guadalupe aud the grand wiumphal evtry into the capital itself. Asscon as it became generally known in the city of Mexico that “the coming man’ had changed the order @ Bis entrance into tbe capital, the French military suthorities, tn connection with the municipality, began to make oxteusive preparations for his escort and wel some. A strong guard of Frenen and Mexican soldiers was at once ordered to Guadalupe to await the arrivel of te imperial cortege and to assisi in dotng the honors of the occasion, The most ‘notsble” part of the citizens, ko change their opinions as the chameleon changes tho solors «{ bis skin, wero instantly thrown into @ tremen- dous stale of flurry and excitement. The Corporation met without delay and began to vote large sums of money for a grand public reception, without having ® cept in their coffers, and being utterly in Aiferent as to whero the movey was to come from. Under tbe beat and potitical exnilaration of the moment, recklessness and stupidity pecame the order ai the day. The wondering people, passive and obedient Weverything as they have now become, looked on tn wild amezement at the strange tnspiration of their mun!- pal representatives, Beyond this there was uothing for Wem to eay or do, Indeed, for their lives (hey dared sot. Jn pursuznce of the movarchical programme, the Ayuntamiento at once issued an addross to the citizere, §aforming \hém that “their elected sovereigns” were near She gates of the capital, and soliciting them in the warm. wet terms to per ect their preparations for a briliiaut re seption of (he Emperor and a general ilumination of the whole city. It was also ordered by the same infailible authority—though the command was modi~ied juto the form of a peremptory “request’’—that all stores, shops aed other places of business thronghout the capital Mould be closed for the three days immediately following Me entrance of the Emperor, and that the proprietors, with their employes. should devote those days to public fajoicings and toa sincere welcome of “the new sove ret: This “request,” or ratber order, was in every stance sccompanied by the eignilicant intimation that all persons kee, ke not closing their houses in accordanes with the decree would be subject to be muicted ea sum ranging from twenty-dve to one huadred @ollars. It is bardly necessary to say that jer such circumstances there was a general closing of all places of business throughout the city, Further. more, every householder was required, under a heavy penalty, to decorate his windows and balconies with fa Sr curtains, or with both; and as a consequence all the Fesidences along the ine selected for the entrance of the Fmperor and his friends were abundantly adorned with Danners aud devices of every kind. Occupants of houses Were also ibreatened with municipal wrath, if not impe- fal castigatiou—swift, sudden, terrible—if they did not gt up ilumioations in honor of the Emperor and the ‘tender mother” of the Mexican nation, Fear operated Mike a charm,so that on the night of the ‘‘triumphal eutry” there was scarcely a house or sbanty in any part af the city that did not show some kind of light. Of ‘souree the people haa no choice whatever in the matter. Their masters for the time being had ordained a decree, ead their only duty was to obey letter. Public pinion and free will were all olit of the question. Compulsion and force were ents of the moment, and, cot ribg the rotteo construction @ Mexican ideas, 1t is Ot wonderful f me that they pro- ARRIVAL OF MAXIMOLIAN AT GUADALCYR, Op arriving at Rio Frio, a small bamict ocoupted by eal burpers and notorious thieves, many of whom have Been implicated in eanguinary murders im Mexico, the Emperor decided on changing bis programme, and on en. fering the city by a diverent route from that originally proposed. This was to branch off from Riv Frio, and, tp- tend of eotering tho capital through the gates on the pouth, to take a cireumlocutory course which would in @udo ® visit to the far-famed Guadalupe by the way. ‘This is & pince well known to every one who bas visited Mexico, numbered as it always bas been among its great. et attractions, Here the Virgin is worshipped at a wbrine What is among the most costly and splendid throughout Me land; and ft ts not to be doubted that the Empross, Ampei'ed by religious fervor, induced her royal busband te change his course so a8 to give hor an opportunity of paying her devotions to the sacred shrine of the converted Indian. Maximilian, moved by vory differeut motives, Kia said—to wit: the veteran thieves of the district of Rio Frio—had 00 particular objection to the change of Programme, and hence the movement towards Guadalupe, It was about two o'clock ow Saturda 11th of Juve, fat the Emperor, escorted by a kk number of sol hers, and {oliowed by « motley crowd of Indians, dressed fm strange end wocouth garments, rode into the town, pmid the noise of artillery aud the clashing of musical Wmsiruments, After leaving Rio Frio be and the Emnress Iravelied on horseback for six miles, arriving at the ha- Denda of /oquiapan at nightia | e was fall- img copiously.

There were many distin- guished persons proseat on tbe oceasion, among whom were Gener! Payaine, Faron Neigre, General Atmoute, the Minister Velasquez ‘de Leon, the Marquis Montholon, the archbishops bishops, the ladies of hooor and other members of the imperi:i household The Emperor as very affable with every ove, and by his directions ali who desired access to him, male or female, were at once admitted, ‘THR TRIUMPHAL ENTRY INTO THE CAPITAL took Flace at ten o'clock on Suuday morning, the 12th day of June. Suob a brilitant sight hag seldom been seen in Mexico as the appearance of the city on this jon, The streets setected for the imperial transit ratett in tho most profuse and dazzling styles of beauty and splendor, Every building, public or private, was closed ant hong with flazs aud banners, mingled with fes- Wwons of flowers, The streets and public places were lined With s:idiers, French for the most part. Balconies and ‘windows commanding a view of the line of march bronght fabulous prices, Charches and church towers were gau- dily decorated, while the botis of the c thedra! and other edifices kept up acentinual elangor. The palace and pub- lic builainge in the square were sumptuously ornamented, and p.rtrajts of the Emperor and Empresa appeared at many of thewindows — To give a full tdea of the various decorations of the stree’s would occupy mach more space tbau is necessary Tut it must be confessed that it wes a brilfiaut and successful affair, so far as the$mere display of laste was concerned, though it was not accompanied by the genuine euthusiasm of a free people. ‘TSH ARRIVAL OF THE EMPEROR was mado known by salvos of artillery from tm front of and as he rode along in’ an open carriage, pregs at bis side, the iadies from the balco- nies and azoveas showered down rose leaves and gold and silver leaves upon them in great profusion. Fre. qnevtly the streets were so crowded witn people that the whole cortego bad to stop, and then the Emperor would bow ail «round to the peorle in the atreets, on the bal conies, and on the bousetops. There was, however, no cheeriag or virar, though tho womea in’ many cases waved their bandkerchio's and email flage, both Freuch and Mexican, ine Emperor rode along the Calle Sap Francisco to Calle Potrero, and thence direct to the cathedral, where the bishops were prepared to conduct him to the throue there erected for him The crowds gatbered ubont the square and the paiaee at thie time were very large; but there wus not the slizbtest mant- festution of excitemout, The enthusiasm, if it oan be 50 calied, was ¢-nfixed exclusively to to the French resi- dents and their friends, and the numerous employes of the government; but it Is @ (wet that, beyoud a natural curiosity, the people proper did not’ seem to care any- thing at all about the advent of the Emperor. On the coutrary, mauy of the Mexicaus were most avxious to impress Lpou loroigners present in Mexico the difference between tue reception of Gonzalez Ortega and that of Maximilian, IN THE IMPERIAL PALACE. The Fmperor received all his friends and adhe- ren's after moss, and presented the most conspicuous among them io the Empress. On several he conferred tbe Order of Guad: @, amMoDK otbers General Mejia, who bas given iv hig adhesion tothe empire. Theo banquet- ing and feasting began, and continued for the rest of the day, save during tbe ours whea the Emperor went out for an evening ride in the Alameda or groves at the end of the city. In another letter on my impressions of Mexico I wiil necessarily bave to refer to these things again, and will then be more full in my details, For the present I have other matters of importance to com- mounicate, and must therefore draw this description to a close. an. s 2 THE IXLCMONATION OF THE CAPITAL in the evening was abcut the most brilliune and sudstan- tially successful part of the whole demoustration, As darkness fell upon the city, the dwellings on the principal streets were at once transformed into palaces of light and beauty. Brillisncy of color and effect prevailed every- where. The pretencareer plaza in front o1 the palace was decorated and illuminated in excellent style, while ‘the conire of the enclosure was reserved for the — of freworks to come of at night. The palace itself, as wellas the Monte Pio, Portaies, Muscum and other pub- lic and private edifices in tbe vicivity, blazed with lights of every order of form, color aud brilliancy. The cathe. dral, with its old towérs flashing out hundrede of lights, was the most attractive of ell. From its portals, around its corridors, aud to the highest piunacle of its great bel- fry, inpumerabie lamps were suspended, the united cilect of so many lights on so great an eminence being more that ordisarily beautiful. The windows b towers, too, were ail thrown wide ope and {ilum| a8 were the bells within, which were kept continu volving and thuudering out their rough botes of acclama- hon, Ateishto’clock the gathering in the square con sisted of many thousands of people, the vast majority of shom were of the lowest strata ‘of Mexican society — eperos, thieves, pickpockets and others. I observed. as a curious fatnre of this public rejoicing, that there were arge numbers of French soldiers thrown jn among the crowd, who appeared, for the most part, to be a jolly set of fellows. Neveribeless they were ali armed, and they disposed themaeives in such @ way smong the crowd as to jead one to suppese that ibey were there on business more then op pleasure. Wherever 1 went among that vast crowd— end a quieter assemblage I hnve never seen, Hotwitheranding the extremely impoverished conditien and sus} tet er of the people—I invariabiy found ko th To addition to ibis. a troops posted ‘ound = snd about sassin. however inrace and desperate, to revch the im- perial breast with bis deadly kuife, As a Gnisning stroke, avd to give the reoicings @ piquancy and variety not generally observed ia otber countries on festive occa- sions, an ndditicual cuard of Freuchinen, armed with double barrelied guns instead of the usual rife, came on the ground at abcut nine o'clock, and were distributed by their ofticers in positions of the greatest advantage. Ibis was making security doubly secure with a vecgearce: but i must Confess that such proceedings naturally threw a gloom over what was originally intended to be a reeular people's festival, and this, perhaps, more t ytbing else, was the resson why there was vothing like joy or biarity exhibited on the part of the immense crowds assembled through mere curiosity and (be desire of wit- nessing a grand display of fireworks, ‘Tbe maio ‘eet, which traverses the city from the square to the Alameda, waa the scene of much activity, beauty and attraction, All the houses aiong its whole length were draped with white and colcred curtaios, and from the wind valconies end cactas foated innumer- Je Dationsl finga, banners and evsigns. Here and there, Togular distances, gigantic triumphal arches were erected, aud, thongh not all entirely compicte or pervect, adorned with a multitude of green boughs, odorous bios- soms and (resh flowers gathered in the extensive gardens around the city, Exquisite bouquets and gartands, ski! ul- ly worked in every style of native art, were suspended around the columns—tridutes of ingenuity and of loyalty of the Todian peasants, wbo bad gathered the fragrant roses in the bosom of their tranquil mountains, Beneath the gleaming multi colored light of thousands of lanterue, all these designs and architectural triumphs were soen to great advantage, ‘The principal decorations and illuminations in the Calle de Potrero and the Calle de San Francisco—the one being a continuation of the other— fg those of the German club, the Hotel de Iturbide and nse WAR OF- mented by two splendid oll paintings of Maximilian and Charlotie, very good likevesses indeed, the produc tiens of a Mexican priest; but the whole arrangement was sadly blotched by the wretched mancer tn which the bouse war filuminated.

Everything connected with the re- ception passed off quictly, without any outbreak or oppo- sition op the one hand or enthusiasm or excitement on the other. The Emperor and Empress seemed much bet- ter pleased with the reception given them in the capital than with the cold and frigid welcome which awaited them on their arrival at V anon Let us pow question, and sce what the constitutional Prezident and forces of the ropubitc are about. HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM THE STATES OF JUAREZ, Thave, atcons.derable difficulty, succeeded to obtain- ing some high'y important news from the States whieb have strongly athered to the cause of mational and con- stitutional indevendence, Known as the States of Presi. dent Juarez, in contradistinction to the sinall fractious of the repubtic at present occupied by the French invaders, It is very interesting. iu connection with tho great feasts DO which have preceded end followed the inauguration of the empire, 89 culled, to take a glance at the 1 condi- tion of the diilicuities by which the new sover is be- set, aud the moral and physical forces with which be bas to contend, aud which he must succeed in overcoming before he can even dream of founding a sure and certain dynasty ia Mexico. | have, of course, chronicled all tho grindeur aud brilliancy of the compu'sory feasts a a festivals intended by the friends of Maximilian to do hima honor; but it does not fellow by any means that these demonstrations were or are the spontaneous expression of the sentiments of the Mexican people, On the con- trary, I bave already stated ina former part of this let- ter inet the people had no chote They were in almost every instance compelied, by the force of circumstances and of ior power, to muke a show of lovalty and ‘enthusiasm,’’ which, I am fally aware, was felt by but few of them. In order to Judge of the real condition of thivgs as they now oxist io Mexico, I found it absolutely mecessary to find out how the two opposing parties were situated in regard to cach other, and in relation to the forces at their command, for the definitive resviving of the question at issue between them. is, I need scarcsly say, the preservation at all bazards of the free, independent and coustitutional public, on the one hand; and, on the other, of the rpations of European despots, crowned by the found- ing of an empire, with a foreign prince, on the rulus of a people's liberty. I therefore Jook such steps as | thought necessary to attain the desired information, and on ap- plication to sourees of the most complete reli bility I obtained facilities to give you some details, which, as I think, are of considerable importance at the present juncture, I will, Grat of all, proceed to give you some idea of the territories of the republic, as they are now occupied by the forces of France aud of the constituttonal President, witb a computation, as nearly as it can be obiaimed, of the armed forces at the command of eisher Power, the points 0! territory occupied by them, and all other facts relating to the military part of the question. ‘The only States that are, up to the prosent time, ac- tually under French domination, or occupied in all points by the soldiers and emissaries of the Emperor of the Freoeh, a Mexico «nd Yucatan, to which have been add or annexed the old State of Cam- peachy and the territory of Carmen, the only eection ot the country in which there hws been anything Jike a spon- taneous pronun-iami nto in favor of “the julervention.”? It will be remembered that some months ago some of the mpeachy, ledon by a few merehants and epers, on whom they were altogether dependent oymentand support. deciared themselves in favor of the French and of the projected Emperor. Soon a'ter a small force was sent to occupy the place, and sioce then its «liegiauce bas been travsierred to’ the “Empire of Biexico.”” The following States are partly cecupied by the French forces in the manner avd to the extent hereafter men- tioned :— Vera Crez.—Of this State, which js a very important one, as being that in which tho chief seaport ts situaied, the only portions ocenpied wre (he town and port of Vera Cruz, the city of Cordova, Urizvba, Jalapa, Alvarado and Soledad—the two taiter places peivg of no importavce whatever.

Of course it is the most important: bat there are some tifty other towns and cities from which tt will be still necessary to dis- lodge the liberals betore the empire can be ostablished, The constitutional forces in this State are as follows:— The government is situated tn luachinange, and is sup ried by Generals Benavides, Carvajal and Cuellar, and Colonel tellez, each-of ‘whom bas a force under hi com. mand; but the numbers cannot be definitely determined. ihe whole of the (orees united, however, wili not be less (bin from twenty-five hundred to three thousand men.

Otber parties who reached the city last evening stated that a large nomber of transports loaded with troops passed down the river during the day. Upon these reports @ rumor was soon in circulation that Grant was withdrawing from Peteraburg and cross- ing to the north bank of the James. Up to seven o'clock P.M. no oficial report of sucha movement had been received at heaaquarters. We hear nothing more from the Yankee force which were reporied to have disembarked at White House on Thursday. We shouid be inclined to believe the force were a raiding party but for two facts:—We bave nothing worth making an expedition against from that quarter and the enemy’s cavalry are !n no condi to make a raid. Sheridan aud Wilson have had rai enough fer ‘a long time to come, The Repubite of Uruguay. ‘The public has been hitherto kept infermed through the ordinary channels of information of the events now transpirieg in the Repubtica Oriental del Uruguay. From the consular representative of that country we gather the following facte:— The rebellion, which bas for its head Don Venancio Flores, still exists, and this, ta connection with the aid and comfort given to {ft by its imperial neighbor, Brasil, has given rise to correspondence between the two gov- ernments resulting in a ‘‘mission especial” sent from the Brazilian to the Montevidean government. The points involved are these:—First—The Orienta governmeat claims that the frontiers of Brazil are used by the rebels as a place of rotreat for the sa‘ety and re- cruiting of their soldiery, Second—That issuing there- from, tbe Oriental frontier bas been made the theatre of’ horrible crimes perpetrated by these men, whom leaders cau neither discipline into soldiers nor elevate men. Third—There are numbers of Brazilian settlers on the Oriental frontier who have become, from long rest- dence, to be rogarded almost as citizens, and who nave acquired property. These settlers bave becn the victims of robberies on the prrt of the rebels, who arc composed mostly of Braziiisu subjects. Fourth—Largo herds of cattle and horses have beon stolen, taken into Rrazil, and sold there or exchanged for munitions of war; many of these cvttle and horses belonging to Brazilian settlers on the Orient! frontier. The Erazilfan government claims that crimes bave beon commitied agaist Brazilian subjects on the Oriental fron- tier, and reciagations were denionded to be made against the Orieatal governmont by tho opposition acd membera. in tho Braziliin Parliameat. At the same time the Ori- ental foveroment made rectomations against the Brazi- lian government, setting forth tho points tavolved, re- ‘avd iaviting the Brazilian governnient to tal non with them. prompt and efBeacious means for the suppression of these crimes, This invitation, not~ withstinding !s reiterstion, has never been replied to, and the robbories, marcers and cFimes stil! continue, From the demauds of the Brazilian Parliament has suited the senging of the mission especial, accompanied by a squadron of war sbips and battalions of infantry— elements the lexet appropriate and the least in harmony with the preific questions which they are to discuss. Not- withstanding, if the goverument of the Emperor of Brazil be actuated by the dosire of co-operating in establiat fi reciprocal justice (which desire ts 4he base of friendly Te lations between «li countries), there will be no occasion of these friendly retations suffering the least faterruption.
