Cirr of Mxx1co, Sept. 20, 1866. MOVEMENTS AND DESIGNS OF MEJLA. It is again reported that General Mejia ia to be sent to San Luis Potosi to take command of the Third Military Department. It is also said that he is to at once organ- ize a large oxpedition to act in copjynction with forces from Puebla in an attack upon Tampico. If these re- ports be true, and the expedition is to be composed of the numbers and matériel designated, Tampico will cer- tainly be recaptured, 16 is stated that the Emperor will, next woek, start for Sen Luis Potosi, and it is believed ‘that he will take the field tn person. If this be true, the Itberals of the North will be hard pressed, for the Bmperor is represented asan excellent soldier, and his presence wil) be received by the army with enthusiasm. Per contra letters from San Luis Potes! say that Gen- erale Douay and Jenninzeros, with most of the French, troops, have left that city for the city of Mexico via Queretaro, leaving San Luise garrisoned mainly by Mexicans.

The troops, numbering 250 men, moved from afort near the city where they were quar- tered at three o’ and succeeded in reaching the plaza without opposition.

RETURN OF A DISEMMARKING FRENCH REGIMENT 10 THE INTERIOR, Among those who speculate on the mere occurrences of the moment there is a good dea! of cautious conversa- tion on the subject of the roturn of the one thougand privates and fifty officers of the Elghty-first regiment of the line (French) tothe interior, after they bad come from that direction and remained three days at Vera Cruz city, even going so far as to puta portion of thoir baggage on board of the French steamship Tampico, and to speak in anything but flattering terms of the Mexicau people, tho Mexican country and the empire, s0- called, of the naturally long-headed Maxi- mimilian, This retrograde movement was made because Marshal Bazaine did not deem it ad- visable to order away any portion of his com- mand until after his interview with Adjutant Goneral Castleneau, whois understood to be en routs for Mexico with full, perhaps fival or explicit orders from Napoleon and the French government. As this French military official comes with ‘the orders of the Ireneh govern- ment,” the people of the United States may look for an explanation of those orders and an answer to Mr. Sew. ard’s diplomatic negotiations in the uext acts of the French interventionists, ‘THE ALLIANCE OF CHURCH AND STATS, There has been ea grand revolution in politics within the narrow compass of the so-called empire. The «n- lightened and progrees-loving Maximilian has sold him- self out, body, brains, sou! and copscience, to the ‘Holy Fathers,” and after this the gradaally-growing-less em- pire is to enjoy all the exclusivenesses attached to a league between the civil magistrate and the politics- loving priesthood. ‘Thie league has been ostensibly for the maintenance of loyalty and the euppressien of horesy ; but we know it will conduce, if the party can maintain itself, to the strict enforcement of political and religious subjugation. The Emperor himecif may not favor this conree, but whaican he do? He is the smallest individual, politically, in the party. The party uses him now that they cannot do better, and Maximilian, driven to anextreme, submits to the Chureh party's dictates, although we know it must ga'l him a great deal to bow to men whom until within afew days past he affected so openly to despise. Alas! God's annointed people, #0- called, prove no beiter than the meanest pot-house politi clans when they have ends to yain apd absolute need to bow. Now the whole of the administrative machine ia in the hands of the priests. Asmont ana Friant have withdrawn. When theee Frenchmen en- tered the ministry it wae thought tbat France intended to do a great deal for Mexico; but now, since they nave gone out, their withdrawal has operated asa heavy damp- ener on Imperial prospecte in general. L’Ere Nouvelle, by far the mort sensible imperial poli tical newspaper published in Mexico, thus said:— “Tn point of fact the change of front has been com plete, The minieters newly choren indicate the new route which in to be travelled, and their acceptation proves that the Emperor has eonceded their views (o be sound.

The situation of the country at this moment is of that nature that the most flattering pros- ta may be worthless.

Still another news. paper says that Juares bad to ekeddadle back to Pago det Norte. From the Guif of Mextco to the. Pacifie—from ¢he northernmost extreme of the Mexican territory to the opposite one—there is a ama fad illtecling existing betweon the tiboral lors, Of whathas occurred ia the neighborhood of the Rio Grande and on the line of the Gulf const the reators of the Heratp have boen aperieed. Of what has happoned on the Pacific side they have not been @o well int ‘but we can assure them that the acts cammit- ted there among the liberal commanders themselves bave been of such a violent character as to debar all hope of their ever coming penceably together to fight for any great cause or a common object. Even within cannon shot of Vera (rnz it has been said by Tiran, who com- mends under Alatorra, that he will shoot Colonet Prieto, who commends ungor himaelf, but is still a strong liberal, the moment he finds Colonel P. within Tange of a Tiran musket. So it gues, from one end to the other and from one sido to the other of the Mexican republic, At Inst people have come to firmly believe that there is no hope nor any salvation for Mexico un- tess with practical asaistance from tho United States in Bu ing the Mexican republican cause. The people will not like this interference, but ag tho circumstances of he case demand it, it muat come. The Mexican People, asa people, seem only to like their ancient pet Principle of opposition to the government in power, be it & good or bad one. PRESIDENT JOANSON Va, TH VSEUDO MMPRROR'S PAPER BLOCKADR. Paramount to all other matters attracting attention in Mexico at this time isthe one in connection with the proclamation of the President of the United States on the subject of the paper blockade set up bv Maximilian, ‘The several principal newspapers which are the reflectors of the views entertained by parties and cliquos, have treated upon the subject to the extent to which they are allowed to go without incurring the displeasure of the government, so-called, and drawing out an advertencia to go ‘under a bushel "* for thirty days, if not longer. ‘he Hetafetle, the generally recognized-tozhe organ of Marshal Bazaine and the French military forces in Mexico, first called attention to Prosident Joho- Sou’s proclamation by publishing the toliowing “The. pi nation of Mr. Johnaon relative to the blockade contains nothing uncommon, nothing contrary to general established principles; for it is an axiom of maritime right that a blockade cannot be acknowledged and reapecied except when it is effective. Whatever displeasing there may be in this act, whieh in itself is quite regular, are the circumsiances which have pre- ceded it and those which have foilowed it, and the em- barrassments that it may provoke tothe empire. Is it notto bo feared, indeed, that the American cruisers sent tothe const of Mexico may show themseives leas anxious to protect their flag than to favor the smuggling of munitions of war and attempts at filibuatering? By whom would they be disowned? By the President? But we know by past occurrences what we have to expect from that quarter in the future. By public opiniou? But the contemptible words used by the orator of tho Philadelphia convention show us the ill will harbored in the minds of the American people againet the empire. By whom will they be re- prewedt By the Imperial squadron? It doos not exist, 'y French mon-of-war ships? Bat they have order: to abstain. (Have they no orders to abstain?) Therefore, from that quarter there is perhaps real aud immefiate danger. * * * * * ‘AB for the fear which our eontemporary entertains, that the French ror, may be driven to the sea coast, we think it is not weil founded. No matter what may happen, the expeditionary corps will retire with drawn sabors and flying colors. That about which we are most anx- ious. is the fete of our countrymen and our alliea, “The proclamation of tho President of the United States and the lavguage which be has addressed to the Philadelphia Convention are a significant index to the attitude which the American government pretapds to observe with respect to Mexico. Still it may be proven that this was only an ctioneering manceuvre. Alt know that the conservative party could not afford to permit the radical party to gain any benefits from mak- ing bold annonacements favoring the Monroe principle. Tt was necessary for the conservatives to come out boldly on this point, and they did so. With that we have nothing todo, It is an aifatr between those politi- cal parties. But what concerns us most Is to see what these manifestations portend as opposing European ja- terests upon this continent and particularly in Mexico, It te vot diffientt to see in the action taken by the United States government on the subject of the blockade established by the imperial goverment, anything else than 8 pretext seized hold of as an imitiatiory step to ry direct intervention in the affairs of Mexico, The ixsuing of the proclamation was tinmediately followed by tho despatcbing of two men-of-war ships to the mouth of the RioGrande. At the same time the Commander of the Pacific squadron received orders to keep two more vessels on the const, opposite Gunymas and Mazatlan. This double blockade ir then to be carried out pre- cisely at the two pointe where Insurrection and American filibusteriem go hand in band. Will the government at Washingion so far avail itself of the presence of these naval vessels npon the Mexican coast as to enforce at least that ni trality with respect to which it has thus fap shown #0 much tmputssence or ill favor. The events which are transpiring on the Rio Grande, as also inthe Guif of Cortes, Bot permit us to entertain that hope.”’ vas ‘The second question of importance, and one which is widely commented on, ie as to what the United States i the French have retired mopire hae gone tosmash. It seems to be a fact ainong the speculators and the theorists that the government ip question will ase direet protec. orale over Mexico. Believing this as possible to come s00D, many of the newspapers have given tbe subject their attention, but only in a covert manner. The Exrarmrey, referring to this subject, said :— “Whoever claims tbe advantagos and honors of #n- premacy doce at the same time accept the riske and duties thereof, It is, therefore, a heavy responsibility that the government at Washington fs taking when it endeavors to pnt into practice the Monroe doctrine. The people of the Uniled States pretend to exercise a direct protectorate over the whole American ecntinent, but are they ready for the sacrifices that their ambition im- poses on them’ Before obtaining from the European governments the promise of renouncing ali polttical in- tervention in the affairs of the New World they will bave to give them pledges of their will and power to cause the vight® of foreigners and the interests of European nations 10 be respected in America. If they sin- cerely with to remove ev cause of futare inter. vention they will bave® to be responsible be- fore the Europeam nations for the conduct of their protegs, yepair thelr faulie and do police duty in the Spanish-American countries. A® long as there pledges have not been given Europe will have the right and the daty so protect here, by force of arme and by ite policy, the persone and the property of its enbjects. Is the United States able to exercise such a protectorate? It reema to us tnt this task is nbove its «trength, and that it bag not the will toagsume the risk. Therefore we may conclude that the Baropean- Amer abandoned for the present—wiil at a per: itself in a new form. Among thi njectures which © been havarded within a short time past ere is ope which merits betng singled out Tt im said, or rather suppoaed, that the American government bas engaged towards the Cabinet of the ‘Tuileries to use all tts influence with the liberal leaders cause the same to ree that the lives and the property of French citisene—those established in dis- within the jariediction of the imperial govern- reepwoted. Tt is added that Mr. Gonzalez Or. is now Mr. Beward's acknowledged candidat hes wly eubseribed toro just a claim: but will he be able to carry his ood intentions Wil he not be himself outfooked by bie own people? Will he have energy end wisdom enough to resist certain powerful revolutionary paesions? Without intervention and tho surveiiiance of France there are no promises which seem to us well founded and no protection which inepirer confidence. Therefore we think that, while the overnment of poleon Il. will faithfully fulfil the xed recolution with respect to the evacuation, it har reserved to iteelf the right of exercising its action in the New World whenever the honor and the interest of France require it to do eo. ‘The Pubite Conscience, a newspaper issued at Puebla, lately appeared with a long article, in which the editor held that the Mexican nation sepels the idea of an American protectorate, and that Mexico can and ought to help iwelf aod stand by itself without any ald what- soever from forelan governments, INTERKATING REPLECTIONS ON TRE MTUATION.

Has noi the Emperor already found ‘“trai- tors" in mén who wore daily in the habit of approach- ing near to his porson? Do not the people at Puvbla and inthe City of Mexico now, say almost openly and defiantly that they are to pronounce against the empire? Lat the peror but lack mouey to pay his troops and he will see how “loyal” his thirty Wousend armed “imperial” Mexicans will be. Now, the French military purse supplies almost all the money which is paid to tho Mexicans who are armed and in the imperial service. It is pre-eminently necessary that such payments should be made. The French know this, and they know it is their own safety that they are paying for. But will the Fronch go on paying out money for Maximilian when the Froach Togular troops are withdrawn Y If France or some other Power does not pay poor Max's bills that both himself and hia empire will go by the board on tho very day he finds his ubirty-thousand armed ‘Hoyal subjects" have gone over to liberalism nd © contents of the liberal cash box. = Already wo see how very loyal Max’s armed Mexicans bave shown them- solves, When Tampico was taken # large body of theso “loyal ones’ went over to the liberal side, even when they hed an opportunity of returning to Vera Crnz, and later still--even withm a few days past—when the im- perial garrison capitulated at Tuxpam, moro than two thirds of tho imper.al Mexican soldiers wont over to “the enemy.’" Amd we may ask with propriety will all the Foreign Legion prove truot We think we can cay with safety that they will not. We know that many of them are very anxious to reach the United States. They have heard great stories about the States, and they want to go there and seek their forcunes among their friends aud neighbors from fatherland. THM FINANCIAL SITUATION Af IY MAY BR. Among the imperialists at the capital it is said that a wel! known and very influential banker in Etrope has consented to favor a loan to the empire, the same to be guaranteed by a part of the revenue of the maratime custom houses, According to this arrangement; a certain amount is to be retained for the payment of the interest on the two first loans, and, after all deductions, it is cal- citlated by the imperialist’ speculators, that the imperial Mexican treasury will receive about $17,000,000. This affair, per report, was favorably concluded by hor Majesty, the Princess Charlotte, at Paris, ** Seventeen millions dollars in ready money,” says the Estafette, “will mako up about two-thirds of the estimates, which sum being added to the current revenue, will fully relieve the gov- ernment of its embarrassments for tweive months to come at least, With dollars we can have men, powder, bullets and arms, Let us suppose that twenty thousand soldiers—twenty thonsand Mexican soldlers—well equip- ped, well commanded and supported by the foreign le- gion who will be left in Mexico after the evacuation, can perform good work and carry oa the war with a chance of oblanmg victories and effecting pacification, To repulse tho liberals and to retake the fron- tiere and the ports is not a very dificult task; it is not an over difficult one.

The most important one is that the Emperer will abdicate. This is nothing but a party invention. Nothing is further removed the mind of Sovereign than the idea of abandoning Mexico. His resolution is, as we know very well, ewher oo over his adversaries, That save the nation (ihe erapirc) or else go down witb it, may or he may bot rium) ww a secret now in the bands of Providence. But he will not cowardly flee before his enemies. For the reacon the Emperor has resolved te identify his fate with that of the pation, to sustain with dignity ite ae. dence (?), to reatize wholly the moral regeneration of the empire, to re-establish order in the administration and to obtain peace and a bright, a beautiful aad a glorious future.” WR. GRWARD'S NEUTRALIVY. iy ren The imperialiste are complaining very bitter! Mr, Seward is now practising @ neutrality by which the Nberals receive all kinds of aid, including men, money and of war. This is against them, but why did they not in 1861, when Mr. Seward permitted the French to buy mules and in the United Stater, and to ship their purchases from the port of New York?

The owners of the merchandise will be fined ten times the amount of the duties and be im- prisoned for two months, and fora secund offence four months, THE EFRECT OF TRE LOR OF TARITCO. The lmpe is thus bewail the loes mentioned above:— “The capture of Tampico by the dissidents and the aubequent opening of the port by them to the commerce of the work! threaten @ serious Change in the direction of the currents of trade, which hitherto flowing from Tarmaulipas and Noevo Leon to the city of Mexico, will hereafter be diverted to Tampico, which will become th outiet of the exporis of thore twolprovinces,jas well art entropst of foreign merchandise exchanged for them.

Now, as heretfore, the imperialists report one and anotber of the liberal commanders as having been driven from strong positions and routed, but as these command- ers nro always reappearing and doing damage to their enemies, We must heoewrarily discredit the imperial re- ports, A miliary commander cannot always love half his force tn over Sr aod «tid return to fight “with fncrens numbers’ Regules is one of the liberal commandets who is constant'y being deveatod, per imperial reports, with heavy loss, but who is ever the saddle moving agaiust different fortified points a requiring the imperialists to move also, in order to cheek him, Lately, accprding to an imperial account, Regules wae trapped by General Mendes, ag imperal officer, and mide to suffer severely, On the Sth of September, #0 it is said, Genoral M. overtook Regulos on the baghte of Salitre, fronting Etacuaro.

M. i Me ‘The firet annual reviow and inspection of the Seventh brigade New York State National Guard took place yes- torday, on very choice ground, about threo miles from the station on the Newhaven Railroad, and six miles from the Hudson River Railroad depot. The brigade 13 commanded by Brigadier General Rider, with headquar- tors in Soutbeast, and ts composed of the Sevonteenth regiment, commanded by Colonel Clarke; the Kight- eenth, Colonel Hyatt; and ifty-seventh, Colonel Her. ing. The band consists of about twelve brags pieces, with drams, It performed several selections yesterday. in a style which promised that before the brigade 1s much older it may become one of the teading milt- tary bands in the State, The men of the brigade bolong to different parts of the counties of Rockland and Westchester; from Portchester, Rye, White Plains, New Rocholle, Tarrytown and other places equally as far apart. Consequently they have not much opportunity of drilling in large bodies—a thing so necessary for the Perfection of the training of a brigade or corps, The regiments go through drill exercise only once a month and the brigade once a year—thorefore the men could not have been expected yesterday to present a precise mil!tary appearance or to go through tho evolutions in a perfect soldicrly style; still, taking all things into com- sideration, they acquitted thomscives very fairly. Tho Seventeenth and Eightesnth regiments, to the number of about five hundred officers and men, arrived first on the ground, and, after going through the necessary pre- liminary movements, stacked rina and went to “rest.” After some time the Fifty-seventh, with their two new banners fiving, and preceded by their drum beso came up the road from Tarrytown, after a bard march of ubout six miles on a dusty road, In right good order, with the exception of some haif dozen atragglers who hung in the rear to pay their devotion to ner and Bourbon, the effects of which wero plainly visible in their appearance and bebavior. A few of them were scarcely able to carry themsolves, much less the musket. ‘Three of them were very jnstly put in an impromptu guard-house; and one of them, in resisting the guard, was slightly wounded with a bayonet in tbe hand. The wound was of no consequ and neither it nor the misconduct of those fellows would lave beeu noticed here, but that the presence of such men in tino or ov parade materially damages the appearance of a whuie brigade, and tends xlso to materially injure the esprit de corps of the other men. Colonel Liebenau, of Governor Fevton’s staff, was in- gpecting ‘officer. On his arrival the brisade formed into line in pretty good order, with the Seventeenth regi- meut on the right, the Fifty-seventh on the left, and the Fighteenth in the centre. The men themselver looked very well, but the dress was not rogularly 1m accordance with the instructions relating to parades. It was too varied. Some were dressed in the old uniform, while others wore the full regulation uniform. The companies would bave prevented a better appearance had they been oso and had thoy kept better calculated distances when forming into column. The distances between regi- ments might also have been slightly improved, The Fifty seventh presented a very fiue front, but apparently the best drilled regiment was the Seventeenth. Their answer to “shoulder arms’ wae vety prettily done, and still farther improved by their “steadiness” in resuming. The Eighteenth bebaved very well, as also did the Fitty-seventh, considering, as before remarked, the few opporiunities the men of meet- ing together for drill in any kind of large nombers; and although th may not have come up to the “‘mark,’’ still display reiected the highest credit on the officers and men of the brigade. After the inspection the brigade jormned several batta- lion movements, which were fairly executed, and at their conclusion, the reviewing and inspecting officer, Colonel Liebenan, called the of Plimented them on the appearance of their men. He said that, considering the circumstance of their bein; scattered over such a tract of country they deserved great credit for their conduct to-day.

THE MATEALAIS. A decided preference is given to thick, tufted cloths, but a few flat, smooth cloths are seen, and these ere hoavily laden, really and truly inden, until they are heavy with jet, Tufted cloths have the advantage over the plain ones of requiring but little ornament, as apy- thing more than buttone and fringe detract from theie appearance instead of improving it; then, too, the taft- ing Id thiok and warm and soft, falling away into grace- ful folds, and setting smoother than those thinner materials that require fiming.

There is great variety of color and deuign in thie article, Plain white, as immaculate as newly fallen snow, is the legitimate Hama; but there are besides these, stripes of alternate cerise and white, blue and white, and gilt and black. Then again there is spoteed Nama and étolla Hama, gilt stars on a white ground, and long, soft fieeces of the most beamiful shades of lavender. Boaver, however, is by no means done away with, and many of the imported cloaks are made of heavy Fronoh gray and purple beaver. Velvet fs still, as it always has been and will continue to be, the handsomest cloaking, though at present it bas » dangerous rival in an elegant article of plush, which ta fabric and price bids fair to cast it in the shade.
