Thave spoken of the unserapalous disregard of truth manifested by tke Inborals in their bulletins and olticial despatches, Let me in justice add that their opponents Gre not much behind them in this respect, Lying seems to be as essential a weapon in Mexican revolutions as sorrifles. After the failure of the attack on San a special batletin was issued announcing that dithe moment whea “the valiant young General” (Mirewer, bad eaptured the first line’, and when the oe!) wore retiring in confusion, the Emperor received ) upertant despatches from General Marquez that memately, and in consequence thereof, teft the Cruz for the Church of San Francisco, and ordered the discontivwance of the attack, Another oulletin followed the next day,giving details of the fight of the 27th ot April, vod terming the “decided caeck” received by Miramon dehind the hill of Simataris a successful “recognizance,” which was only terminated by order of the Emperor, ho theughs that sufficient had been achieved for one In the same bulletin Colonel Rodrigue’s unhappy pedition against the garia of Mexico is termed an- ether “recognizance.” No mention is made of the death of Rodriguez, but a big splurge is made over the wounding of some “important liberal officer” whose wame I never heard before. ‘The 5th of May, the annive of the defeat of the Yrench in Puebl, was celebrated with much rejoicing im the liberal lines, and by heavy salutes with shotted guns. These rejoicings cniminated in a dranken attack on tho Dridge, the strongest point of our wholo lines, ‘Two columns of infantry marched up to within twenty- five yards of our guns, and were literally mowed down by grape and canister. They threw up rockets to show them where to attack; but threw them so badly ‘that the light fell upon their lines instead of ours. The attack lasted from seven o’¢lock in the evening til! nearly eight. The only damage received on this side was one ‘man slightly wounded. The liberal ioas must have been very heavy. A crisis has beon reached at last. We cannot remain There 13 no corn for the horses, chere three days ionger. no food for the people.

Notbing more is heard of Marquez; there is no prospect of relief, and nothing for ux but to break through the enemy’s lines, Hxanguartune, La Cruz, May 14—Midnight. The final resolve has at last been taken, In afew minutes the whole army moves out, attacks the enemy, and attempts to force a passage, How hazardous this will be a glance at the map will show, But there is no other course open, Surrender is out of the question, after the instructions of Prosideut Juarez and the adyices ‘we havo reeeived from Puebla of captured generals shot there by Porfirio Diaz. All the citizens between the ‘uges of fifteen and fifty have been called out and armed, to hold tho lines while the retreat is effected; but I ques- tion whether they will thro more than one shot before they drop their guns and run, General Mejia, however, as charge of this movement and he has previously fended the city with six hundred citizens against three+ thousand liberals. So perhaps, the plan may work bet- ter than is expected. In obedience to my instructions I accompany the Emperor, Where, when and how you will next bear from me is a case of quien sabe. The in- tention is, I believe, to take to the mountains. At present 1 can say, with authority, that any idea of giv- ime up tho fight is furthest trom Maximilian's mind, Whether his ideas will be changed by the results of to-night’s work remains to be seen. We go out with about three. thousand imfantry and about six hundred good cavalry. According to past ex- perience in Mexican warfare, the infantry will -desert Just as soon as they can, and’ the morrow will find as ‘with but little except the cavalry to rely upon, For our personal safety tnis is, perhaps, so much the better; for our movements will then be unimpeded. Thus ends the miege of Querétaro, after lasting sixty-nine days.

Now remains to be told the reasons why the breaking through programme shadowed farth above was not carried out, Late at night there ame over an officer with six men, apparently deserters from the liberal lines, The story they told was entirely Consistent with the strange raumors which had circulated ‘4m our camp for days past, that Juarez bimself was be- sieged in San Luis by Gonzales Ortega and had eent orders te Escobedo to raise the siege of Querdtaro and come ‘to bis amistance. Add to this that Mejia craved a little ‘mere time for the perfect organisation of his three thou- mand citizen soldiers and you have the reason why at ‘the last moment the orders to attack were counter- mandod, The deserter’s story may have been, and probably was, a mere ruse de guerre. Singularly enough, however, I have found’ since that a belief somewhat @imilar prevailed largely among the liberal officers, The Ortega part 5, of course, nonsense ; but it was generally that if the city did not surrender inaday or two the bemeging forces would retire.

Two of these attempts have been men- tioned above. The third (the first in order of time) has hitherto remained a State secret. On the 20th of March, twelve days alter the commencement of the siece, a eounct! of war was held. The timidity of the Emperor's Mexiean generals had greatly magnified the strength of the hberal forces then surrounding the city, and as ‘ammunition was falling short they began to consider themselves in a tight place. The council resolved to spike all the large guns, and, takfng only the mountain pieces, make a retreat for Mexico. Three of the Res I citi zens of Querétaro had been selected as a delegation to ‘out and ask Corona for guarantees for the safety of city. They were in the saddle ready to start, and the evacuation was almost un fait i Itwas prevented by Maximilian. He alone stubbornly op- posed the project, and fivally, after hours of warm dis- ursion, brought over the council to his side.

DISGRACEFUL RIOT AT A FUNERAL. A desperate and disgraceful riot occurred in the vicin- ity of Penny Bridge, near Calvary Cemetery, yesterday afternoon, during which four of the parties engaged in it were terribly wounded and a child is reported to have been killed. It appears that a funeral party from New York stopped at the Bridge. House to obtain refresh- ments, and while there two of them bad a difficulty in the barroom, growing out of a aiscussion of the merits of the deceased, one of them claiming that he wasa good man, and the other maintaining that it would have been better for society if he had been buried long ago, The dispute finally culminated in a gene- ral and bloody riot. The butt ends of whips, knives, stones and other missiles were used with deadly and terrific effect, and the rioters continued their bloody work until completely exhausted. Women joined in the tray, and carried stones to their husbands and friends, cheering them on im the fight, One aged woman was particularly conspicuous for ferocity, and was seen to jump repeatedly upon prostrate form of a man who was rendered insensible by a blow upon the head ‘with astone. A man named Timothy Hughes, who did Teartul execution with a knife, was finally knocked inte a state of insensibility by a blow from a bludgeon in the bands of a woman, who in turn was half stripped of her clothing and badly beaten by the friends of her victim, Some fourteen persons in all were more or less WEWS FROM SAN FRANCISCO.

Opening of the Evidence by the Prosecution. Surgeon General Barnes and Others Examined. One Witness Swears He Saw Surratt the Night of the Murder. The Prisoner Was Conversing With Booth. . Waseimeron, June 17, 1867. The Ciimina) Court room was unusually well crowded this morning before the opening of the Criminal Court, and the interest in che Surratt case seems to be on the mmerease, At ten o’clock Judge Fisher, having somewhat recov- ered from his sickness, entered the Court room and took his seat upon the bench, and the Court was for- mally opeved. Justice Cartter, who was also upon the bench, ordered the crier to open the June term of the Criminal Court, and the Grand Jury for that term was called. Pending the call of the Grand Jury Jobn H. Surratt was brought into Court and took a seat beside his counsel, He looks about the same as last week, aud ap- Pears at all times to be very cheerful. Judge Cartter announced to the Grand Jury for the June term that there would be no necessity for their attendance until to-day two woeks, and he accordingly discharged them until that time. The Petit Jury was then called, and Judge Cartter an- nounced that the same objections applied :o this jury as had applied to for the Maren term. ‘The witnesses and others summoned to attend the June term were then discharged until two weeks hence, and the Jone term was then adjourned till that day. Judge Fisher then resumed business as in the March term, and the jury in the case of John H. Surratt was called, and all answered to their names, Mr. J. H. Bradiey, Jr., submitted the following affida- vit:— To the Honorable the Justicn or Tax Supreme Court oF tae District or Covumpta. holding the Criminal Court for the March Term, 1867:— ‘The petition of John H. Surratt shows that he has now been put on his trial in a capital case in this Court; that he has exhausted all his means and such further means as have been furnished him by the liberality of his fends in preparing for his defence, and he is now unable to procure the attendance of his witnesses. He thero- fore prays your Honor for an order that process may issue to suramon his witnesses and to compel their at- tendance at the cost of the government of the United States, according to the statute in such cases made and provided.

It will be proved that he was a traitor to his country and a spy upon the actions of the government, and who travelled regularly from Washing- ton, and froin Washington to Canada, all the time woav- img awed and plotting the destruction of the govern- ment and the overthrow and slaughter of the armies of the United States. And, as an indication of the motive that his mind, the jury shall hear bow he voasted that he shot down una:med Union soldiers while they were escaping from rebel prisons, It shail be shown how the prisoner made his home in this city the rendezvous for the per- fecting of their bloody work, and that it was he who Jett at Surratteville the arms which Booth took posses- sion of in his flight, and one of which was taken from him after his death, It will be shown that in April, 1865, Surratt went from Richmond to Canada, and that while in Montreal he, on the 10th of April, received a letter from Booth commanding his presence in this city. He came, and it will be shown exactly by what route; and the prosecution will pfove by testimony as clear as the noonday sun that Surratt was here on that fatal Friday, and was walking through Pennsylvania avenue booted ard spurred; and that but two bours before the fatal shot was fired he purchased tho disguises which the assassins were to use in their flight, that when the last blow was struck he set forth upon his shudder- ing flight, ‘That flight will be traced, in law, flight is the criminai’s confession, and because during flight the prisoner, in the fancied security of friendship, makes acknowledgments which fx upon bim the guilt.

We have killed Lincols, the negro’s friend.” The man to whom Surratt was revealed, as in duty bound, made the fact known to the American Minister at Rome.
