Crry oF Mextco, Apri) 11, 186. Although everything is quiet around the capital and Bo larger cities between here and the coast, still this is By no means the condition of the empire. Maximilian’s authority is acknowledged in but a small part of Mexico, and his only hold upon the government is the bayonets @f foreign soldlery, Whatever good the Emperor desires % effect in this country is neutralized by bis want of gower. In buta sinall portion of his dominions are bis Jaws and decross respected, and. it will require at least nother army of forty thousand men to subjugate and Dold Mexico, and make him in fact ruler over the Mexi- gan people. The liberals hold all the frontier States, Brom the Pacific to the Atlantic, the French troops oveu- ying only the capitals, and have all they can do to sus- tain themselves against the liberals, without making avy | attempts at conquest. THE IMPERWALISTS PROBABLY DRIVEN OUT OF CHIEU SHU Oorraneo, imperialist, who held Chibuxhua, has oubtless ere this been driven from what city, and is | ‘probaly captured, The latest advices from Chihuahua ay that Governor Terrazas was, on the 18th vlt., within Swenty miles of the city, at the head of a large force. @orraneo’s army consists of about one thousand men, ‘most of whom are from Durango. Those of bis men from Chibuahua had declared that they would not fight* ‘against their brothers and Governor Terrazas, but would ‘throw down their arme upon his approach. Juarez and | Bie cabinct are expected at Chihuahua, from which point he will advance into the interior, Mattors are quite lively in Sinaloa, The French have Seen for some time besieged in Mazatlan by Corona, who reported to have with him over two thousand men, all good'fightors. . General Lozado, too, has been sent, with @ver three thousand men, to the rehef of Mazatlan, and ‘has doubtless raised the siege. The imperialists say Mbat on the 19th ult. a large force of imperialists wero idio by Corona, who had over two nine pieces of artillery. | The battle when rona fell back. leaving three four bow dred killed and two hundred wounded on the field. Dattle was renewed on the following day, when Co- Pena was again defeated, with a loss of two hundred amen. No account of the imperial loss is given, but from ‘he deeperation shown by the liberals it must have been reat. No prisoners appear to have been taken; Proably the infamous decree ‘of the Sd of October was @arried out, and the prisoners captured are to be found ‘among the'killed. The imperiahsts claim but little ad- ‘wantage in this engagement, as they were compelled to | Feturn to Mazatian. ‘Official accounts show that during 1865 one battle oc- @arred every day during the year. S.nce the first of Manuary last! the number of ongagements have been Sewer in number than during the saine period last year, ‘Det the losses on both sides have been heavier. PARTICULARS OF THE DEATH OF MENDEZ, One of the city papers publishes a letter from Chibua- Qua, which says that on the ist of March, Corraneo ‘weat to Coachuiriachie, where he encountered the liberal @emmander, Lieutenant Colonel Mendez, who was de- eated with 'a loss of eleven killed and fifty-six prisoners, ‘Mendez retired without any attendants to the rancho of he Alamos, where, being taken sick with a fever, he Jwent t sicep in a room withont windows. He was fol- to the rancho by Lieutenant Colonel Mendoza, who @emanded of Mendez io surrender. This was reiused, yavben the imperialiste broke @ hoie through the roof and ‘threw into the room lighted fagots. Mendez sore 1 at his assailants, who tired ten shots at Mendez, him as he lay in his bed. Mendoza ix represent: @d a6 one of the most inhuman ofticers in either army, Js the fiend who assassinated the Governor of Chi: ua about w year ago. OTHE CITIZENS BOT. After the battle the imperial commander, Barranco, @eused to be shot Don Jesus Nevado, Don Higinio Ro- mero and Don Rafael Coz, three of the most influential Giizens of Cosehuiriachie, and imposed a tax of two @ousand dollars upon Don Jesus Palazar, one thousand @ollars upon Don Jesus Caredeo, and the like sum upon ‘fhe sons of Mendez. The Smbra comments, in prope: upon this barbarous act, and Mexicans are jusily t that an ollicer of the empire should shoot a lagitive under such circumstances, and then com- his sons to pay « heavy sum to cover the expenses thei father's murder. Such acts, when sanctioned the authorities, tend to estrange still further the gov- ent from the people, who bear the yoke sullenly, gad if the opportunity oilers wil! wreak a bloody ven reba upon thoxe whom they consider ther perse- THR PINANCHS @f the government are in 4 most embarrassed condition, f@nd the Emperor is put to great @rdinary expenses.

Re. he. ‘The termination of the Reciprocity treaty and the late threatened Fenian invasion of the British North Ameri- can provinces impressed upon our government the neces- sity, in the former case, of the protection”of our fisher- men, who have hitherto enjoyed the Immunity of fishing in British wators, which by the sudden termination of the treaty might lead many of those worthy fishermen, ignorant no doubt of the fact, into encroaching upon British waters and British so-called rights; and in the second place to enforce the observance of neutrality and the provention of any overt act on the part of the Fe- nians that might be construed into a casus belli by Eng- land. In the case of tho fisheries tho British govern- ment early comprehended the condition of things that would probably arise in the event of the non-renowal of the Reciprocity treaty, and they therefore early doter- mined to augment and concentrate their British North Amacrican squadron; the strength of which will be more particularly described in the present article, In addition to the immenso regular naval feet the British home govern- ment bas empowered the provinces to equipt.nd arm small steam and sailing vossels, styled “cutters,” which have for their sole object the snrveillancs of American fishermen, which, if found fishing in British waters—viz., within three leagues of British soll—they will be seized and con- fiscated, Many readers of the Heeatp are well acquainted with the petty annoyances to which our fishermen wero subjected before the ratification of the treaty just termi- nated. and it soome the provinces, with the full assistance » | of the home government, are about to inaugurate a simi- lar system, only on an enlarged scale, At that time our | government gave very little if any attention to the sub- | ject, and it was only after repeated seizures of tho ves- sels of our poor unarmed flshormen that our govern- | ment managed to send the old paddle-wheel steamer 1 | Mississippi to protect onr interests on the British North ‘American coast. The present government appear to have a fall appreciation of the interests of our fishermen, and have therefore determined to send an adequate naval force to the East to be ready to act az circumstances may: require, At first it was determined to send a small flect as one of observation: but, Ina subsequent meeting of the President and his Cabinet, it was determined to send a force uaofnl and realy for all practicable purposes. Tt was owing to ths fact that Sir Frederick Bruce, a'few"} weeks ago, sent word to Vice Admiral Hope to concen- trate the British West India fleet with that of the flect then on the North American coast. ‘This action on the - | part of the British Minister at Washington was promptly met by onr Secretary of the Navy, who ordered Admiral Palmer, with his squadron, to return’to this country and repair to the Eastern fishing grounds. In compliance with this order the Rhode Island, with the Admiral on board, arrived in New York from St. Thomas day before yestetday, He proceoded at once to Washington for instructions, after which he will return to his flagship and proceed to Eastport, the fature rendezvous and depot of the fleet.

The Henaxo has fallen into two errors in regard to the Manhattan Club, which I must ask you to correct, Mr. Seward has never been a guest of the club, He was en- tortained at dinnor in the private dining rooms of the club by Mr. Richard Schell. The samo is true of Mr. James Brooks. Several other members of the club united with Mr. Schell in the dinner to Mr. Brooke, On such occasions entertainment is as private as if the tho host or hosts gave it m his or their own house, and the degree of publicity which ghall be given to it rests in the discretion of tho company present. Although I was not at either dinner 1 is to some extent my duty, as on» of the officers of the club, to intorm myself of the facts, and you may, therefore, be gure they are as state1, General Grant is the only ‘guest the club ever publicly received, Truly yours, J.

Robin Hood, on behalf of Janitor, at once ruehing to the front, quickly assumed an advanced posi- tion, and in the first three hundred yards was fully five lengths in front of Freedom, who was running wide on the extreme left. Close up with Lord Stamford’s colt, and immediately on his right, were Monarch of the Glen, Janitor, Sealskin and Harefield. Separated by a space of pethaps a dozen yards, but still almost head and head with the lot just mentioned, were Apsley aud Lord Lyon in the centre of the course, Auguste, Knight the Crescent, and the Rapid Rhone’s dam colt lying on their right. . Ranning weil on tho upper ground were Student, Leybourne and Mount Palatine, the whole lot keeping close company, though going wide of each other in the distinct — ‘eons half a dozen lengths in the rear of bin Hood, who at a cracking pace maintained the lead to the Bushes, Hero not ovly the “Sherwood forester,” but the majority of the competitors wore in difficulties! and Baron hild’s second string, with Harefield, Stu. dent, Scalskin and Anguste dropping back, formed a Whipping in division, The Bushes were evidently a mark for Lord Lyon, as thoro, indulged witha little liberty, ho took a commanding lead, followed down the hill by Jant- tor, Monarch of the Glen, Knight of the Crescent, the Rapid Rhone's dam colt, and Freedom, the whole of whom closed from the opposite sides of the course, and vigorously pursued the favorite, The moment they reached the hill Janitor was done with, and a distance and a half from home Lord Lyon was quite two len:ths in front of Monarch of the Glen, whom Challoner rod 80 desperately as to raise shouts for the Monar and to cause considerable uneasiness to Thomas, who spurred his horse when he saw Monarch of the Glen on tho left and Knight of the Creacent on the right were rapidly nearing the leader's quarters, and though rendered exciting by the simule taneous rushes of the Monarch and the Knight, in the last hundred yards neither of them were a match for the Lord, who amid immense excitement and tremendous cheering won by a length. The race for second place was hotly contested, and only gained by the Monarch head. The Rapid Khone’s dam colt ronning wide a peared from the stand to be a good fourth: but he was Deaten some three lengths from Knight of the Crescent, Janitor, beaten several lengths from Lord Glasgow's colt, was fifth, Leybourne sixth, Robin Hood, who had passed many of the pulling up ‘horsos, was seventh, Apsley being eighth, and Jack in the Green ninth, the lot pall- ing up in a cluster at the post. Freedom and Mount Palatine, not persevered with In the last two hundred yards, were next, a dozen lengtha ahoad of Harefleld, Stu- dent and Sealskin.

The Winooski and an English Vessel! in Pursuit. Being M&ade on Grand Menan Island. &eo, Descent ke. &e. Eastronr, Me.,” May 2, 1866. A British schooner, the Friend, twenty tons burthen,. cleared off last night from the neighborhood of Eastport, having on board a number of armed Fenians. Informa- tion was conveyed this morning to Captain Boggs, com- manding the Flying Squadron, of the fact that she wag off Quebec carrying Fenian colors, Ho immediately de- spatched four boats, with thirty armed men each, in pur- suit. On arriving at Quevec the schooner was bound to- wards Grand Menan Island. The boats returned, and on reporting to Captain Boggs he ordered the Winooski to get up steam immediately and start in pureult, directing Captain Cooper, of that vessel, to seize and bring her back if there were the slightest evidence on board of her intention being otherwise than peaceable, The Winoosk! started at full speed at a quarter to five P. M., and the British frigate is about following. Grand Menan Island is situated in the Bay of Fundy, about eighteen miles from Campobello point and is forty miles long by six miles wide, It is held by the initiated that the inhabitants, though few, are favorably disposed towards Fenianism, The Fenians have a start of severa) hours, and have consequently only to contend with the British war ship Hic Niger Est, provided they are not overtaken by the Winooski before reaching British waters. The greatest excitement is manifested here 1p the pursuit and the result 1s anxiously looked forward to, A hundred rumors are afloat here as regards the schooner Friend and the expedition, In consequence of the ebb tide the Winooski was compelled to go round Campobello Island, which gave the Fenians a longer start, - The Hic Niger Est has returned to her moorings. General Meade and staff, with Colone! Edwards, Major- Bartlett, Captain Jennings, United States Quartermaster, , with all the troops lately brought here, left this noon on the steamer Rezulator for Portland and Boston.
