OUR MEXICO CITY CORRESPONDENCE. Mexico, July 28, 1868. MORE CONSPIRATORS AR!:¢ Tho excitement caused by the arrest of General Zez Jd his Gfteen fellow-conspirators had scarcely subsided when tho public inind was again suddenly aroused, on the moruing of the 28d, by the announcement of the ar- rest of eighteen other citizens, wpen the charge of bav- ing conspired to reize his Majesty and hold him a. pris. onor until ie would consent to abdicate and quietly leave Mexico, Tuis plan wes conceived some months since, but no aitempt to execute it was determined upon until last week. “3 PLANS TO WAYLAY MAXIMILIAN, The first project was for a company of liberals to way- lay the Emperor on bis passage, unattended, from Che- pultepoc to this city, and carry him off to the mountains, where he should be kept in confinement until he would agree to the terms offered him by his captors. This idea, though apparently feasible, was abandoned, owing to the far that the attack might be discovered aud bring a targe force of French cavalry in instant pursuit. Another plan was then determined upon. The castle of Chepultepec is almost unguarded, there being no sol- iors there except a few of the royal household; there- fore it was thought the castle could be surprised somo stormy aight, the rds overpowered and the Emperor seized and carried off before the act could become known. If the party could but gain ten minutes? start all pur- suit would be in vain. By some meang the plot was divulged to the Emperor, and the result is Maximilian still rides unattended to and from Chepultepec, while his ‘would-be captors are far on their way to Yucatan. THE SANTA ANNA-ORTROA APFAIR was really of more moment au had gathered greater head than was at first supposed. The lettor of Santa Anna to Padre Ordonez—which foil into the hands of the authorities, and caused the arrest of the conspirators— advised the Padre to pay court to the Archbishop of Mexico aod prevail upon him to enter into tho plot, which he was believed already tofavor, However much the Archbishop may desire Maximilian’s removal he is too wily a diplomat to be caught in any such trap. He gees that the church party can never again rule this country, as in years past, and that if the Emperor leaves a successor, be he who he may, such a one will not dare to capouse the cause of the clergy and restore them to temporal power. A remarkable fact in connection with this affair is that Padre Ordonez was taken suddenly sick before starting for Yueatan, and, ‘‘on account of the Nate of his health,’ was permitted to remam at Puebla. Might not the priest have proved a traitor and betrayed toate Anna and his friends? Such supposition is lirectly tn keeping with his character, and the unusual Nomoncy extended him bas a most suspicious look. ORTEGA SOON TO BR IN MEXICO, Among the liberals recently arrested was Don Juan Mateos, a gentleman of wealth, education and great |ite- rary abilities, The following ts a translation of a lotter written to him, which caused his arrost:— San Axtomo pe Basan, May 11, 1966. General Ortega being personally acquainted with you and knowing your elevated sentiments, charges mo to write you in order that you may represent bim in the olty of Mexico. ‘The General, conjointly with Messrs, Huerta, Nogret Pat Berriozabal and otber patriots, will r in the repubtic with all the menns necessary to give due activity to our operations as well as in order our principles may have a clear and leza! representation there Altor the coup d'efat I thought to continue in the most olose retirement; but the alliance of Santa Anna with Juarez has competed me to alter that design, and brought me in contact with Mr. Ortega. I believo that the ob- Jeot of the latter gentleman is to keep up the fight, with. ‘out entering into questions relating to right of command, and by no means take up arms against thoee of our who are engsged im the same struggle, even though they do invoke the name of Juarez. Hence you oan represent Mr. Ortega consistently with your refined otic sentiments, You oan communicate with Mr. either directly, without further formalities, or through me. As tho American force which is at our service has not ot been able to provide itself with what it needs, Mr. Ortega has been forced to delay until now; but 1 have faith in his making up for lost time. Commence, then, our Inbors at once. Write according to whet Mr. N—— ig you. I send him also a communication now. In- ire of him as to the way of res to me, Ever GUILLERMO PRIETO. Pricto ts a lawyer of great reputation, a poet of much boown; but, like all bie countrymen, his private life is Pt quite ap to the American standard of virtue and paor. He has held many important offices, having once bea Postmaster General and also Minister of Hacienda } Treasury, uoder both Comonfort and Juarez. He was a Jom friend of the latter and represented his interests ) Texas and the South, Juarez stock must be down or eto would not abandon him. SUPPICIONS MOVEMENT? OF AN ITALIAN. About the lime of these arrests there appeared hore an accredited agent—an ltalian—from the liberals of Mata- moros and the North, who, after spending some davs in this city, tovk his departure for Goanajuato, None but Spaniards would trust an Italian with secrete.

Tho Indians, undismayed by this mishap, soon raitied and, eg in pursuit of a band of liberals who had stolen 500 mules from near Guaymas, had noarly overtaken them, when they turned back upon learning that Martinez with 300 Indians had joined the mule thieves. This ed untrue, but it caused the Yaqui Indiana to give up the pursult. Corona, upon hig return to the siege of Mazatlan, sacked the Villa de Santiago. He had offered security to tho inhabitants if they would return to their homes, which mostof them did; but, embittered by defeat, he forfeited his pledged word and gave the town up to de- struction by his soldiers.

They went down the Gulf of California, and it is belioved tho voasels at Guaymas or Mazatlan will not be able to capture them.

THE PRESS CORRESPONDENCE. Havana, August 9, 1866. Tho Engliah mail steamor Eider arrived here on Sun- day with later Mexican dates. The expocted change tm tho Ministry wna finally effected by the Emperor on tie 20th of July, by a letter to Lacumza and the issuance ot three ordors. The letter says My Dear Paeswoewr Lacumza:—At the moment whon the Ministry over which you have 30 worthily presided becomes in part dissolved, we are pleased to give you a public testimony of our profound gratitude for the emi- nent services you have rondored us, We hope that tho nation will continge to prollt by the counsels of your Patriotic and illustrious tnielligence, Receive the as surances of my regard. MAXIMILIAN, The first decree appoints Genoral Osmont, Chief of Staff of the Expeditionary corps, Minister of War, The second decree appoints Genpral Frant, tho In- tendent General of the same corps, Minister of Finance. The third decree orders the Ministry of Protection to be added provisionally to that of tho [nterior. It is said that Haro, Tamares and*Laros havo been invited to form part of the now Cabinet, It is also said that Phree new under secretaries will be appointed. The following explanation of the motives that deter- mined such a notable political manwuyre accompanies the decrees ;— Tu order to obtain in the shortest timo the completo and Insitng par tiication of the country, the actual cir. cumstances appear to clatm that unity of action of ideas. which, im all tho crises recorded in history, has always beca the most eilleiont remedy. Con- vinced that the guarantees necessary to x ican society to regain ity with peace and to carry nto effect important material improvements exact this complete unity, the Emperor conferred the portfolio of war to the Chief of Stat of the Expeditionary corps, and that of the treasury to the Intendant General of the same corps. These measures, which will be found in harmony with the mission of her Majesty the Empress, will demon- strate that the government acts in accord with its glori- ous allioa, and that it makes all the efforts the nation nas the right to demand of it to speedily obtain the pacifica- of the country.

On the 21st of July inst a brown horse was brought into the pound, as citizen Conklin charges, and there kept until the 26th, when he was taken away in the dead horse cart. Now why should he be taken away in the dead horse cart? Because he wasdead, How did he die? It | would appear from the complaint of Mr. Conklin that the offlcers feared the keeping of the equine would be expensive and useless, and that they accordingly al- lowed him to find fodder as beat he could in the mud and slush of the pound; but somehow or other the animal failed, bis health appeared to suffer, his mus- cles relaxed, his eyos grew glassy, his bones protruded through his flesh and he gave every external evidence of being on @ rapid journey to that happy land where “tho wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at reat.” The wicked ones in this caso appear to be the ofticers, for Mr. Conktm says ho saw thom as if trying to compel the animal to go faster, use a barrel hoop asa goad, Tho horse grew atill more woak, whilo hia keoopers asemed to grow strong, and aa in many other cases the weakor “went to wall,” or rathor to the fence. The fence being rough poor browny was scratched and pieroed by spiintors. Finally the animal could not rise from the mire to seek assistance from the fence, and Mr, White strack bim with an axe, The axing business waa done on tho 26th, and in about two hours afterwards on the game day the dead cart came to carry off poor browny, but browny bad not yct yielded up the ghost, so the driver of the cart aftor dragging browny on to the cart by means of a roop, pierced the head of the poor animal with an iron bar. In short, browny was starved, beaten with a hope, scratohed by tho fence, strack with an axe, dragged on to the dead cart and ‘pierced through tho crapium with an iron bar. Surely such a course of treat- ment was enough to harrow up tho sout of the illustrious succossor of Dick Martin, But the officers say that a bale of hay waa bought for the use of the huy eating animals entrusted to their charge, but browny being evidently intent on shuffling off this mortat coil would not eat, neither would he drink, and they thought it would ontitio thom to the good opinion of the Humane Society to help broway out of the world, and they axed him, 45 was stated, with that iptontion.

AN OPINION. The Corporation Counsel submitted his opinion on the communication of the Police Commissioners transmit- ting their estimate of the sum required to pay the ia oreaged salary of the police foree, which had boen re- ferred to bim by the Board of Supervisors on thor 12th of Jn, 1866. He states that while the provisions of sections % and 3, chap. 861 of the Laws of 1868, to which the Board has catled hf attention, are mandatory; the provisions of soction 23, chap. 678, of the Laws of 1868 (the Excise law), are equally mandatory, aud impose apon the Board of Excise a duty which the Polico Com missioners may enforce of appropriating. the monoye received by them for feos and tines to the payment of the expouses of the Police Department whenever the depariment shall need funda, And although those two acts ard separate laws, imposing independent duties apon differentybodies, yet, as they were deagned to pre- vide funds for the same object, their provisious ehout@ be read together, and the interpretation and construc tion of cach should be established by comparison and adoption of the provisions of both, Ho was therefore ef opinion that the duty of the Board of Excise to appro- priate the funds ia their hands (after deducting the ex- penses of collection) to the expenses of the Metropolitam Police Department “hold be performed by them before they should require the Board of Metropolitan Police te cyrtify to the Board of Supervisors the estimate of the mount required for the payment of the expenses of the lice force. That estimate he did not understand te mean merely an estimate of the total amount of ealaries, but an estimate of the amount actually required te be John Smith, Sixty-soveuth steot and Kighth avenue; | raised by taxation after giving credit fer diod 15th. f the funds from other sources which the pro- Dora Lippmann, 235 Hudson street, died 15th. visions of the law places in the hands of PUBLIC INSTEUTIONS. the Commissioners or appropriated to ti of he expenses their department.
