The Fr: ‘War—Hostility to Napo- leon— wior of the Americans—A News- paper in Trouble— Arrest of an Editor—Border Ruffians—Marti- nea’s Latest Proclamation. ? oN ‘Mexico, August 16, 1870, The news which reached Vera Cruz by the Ameri- can steamer, and which was immediately tele- graphed here, acceding a victory to the Prussian arms, the capture of 8,000 prisoners and thirty-six cannon and the falling back of the French army in isorder, followed by the advance of Prussians on French eoll towards Paris, has created great rejotc- ing among the Prussians residing here. Words and wine flowed freely everywhere far into the night, and ‘wivas” for the victorious were mingled with groans for Napoleon and his dynasty. The French citizens re- siding here seemed to be struck dumb by the news, but soon rallied and sent telegrams to Vera Cruz making inquiry, receiving in reply the brief des- patch, “Nothing is certain about the battle.” Extras were printed in large type containing only the above and were freely distributed in the streets, The effort, however, appeared hardly to eatisfy them, and the French element in our city population re- red to bed with sad hearts, consoling itself only with the hope that the “extraordinary mai’’ aight bring some explanation or mitigaung news, ‘The effect upon the Prussians was rather amusing, and, Judging from the demonstrations here, Prussia must at an early day undertake the conquest of tho world. Mr. Schiosser, the Prussian Minister, arrived in Vera Cruz by the same steamer which brought the news, and, Of course, he received and repiied to many despatches from the interior. ‘The Americans here coolly consiler the war as not settled with one battle, of course, and do not take sides with either of the excited parties, Perhaps with the exception of such Mexicans as have visited Paris, or were identified with the French during their sty in this country, the mass of the Mexicans long to see Napoleon humbied, his dynasty aestroyed and France wiped out, This is entirely the sentl- ment of the liberal party.

Rio Jango, July 16, 1870. ‘The oficial peace rejolcings, for which the Minis- ter of War has squandered $100,000, came off upon Sunday, the 10th of July, and, to the excessive de- light of all the population of the city, proved: an unqualified failure, The building erected at a cost of $50,000 in the Campo d’Acclamagao was a large Doric temple of pine and muslin, calculated to hold 8,000 of the blue-breechea and gold-laced gentry to whom the Minister of War had sent untransferrable Uckets, and for whom sentries had been posted to prevent the entrance of the world outside of oMcial recognition, The bailding itself, viewed at a dia- tance, was not unpleasing, and, with a little stretche ing of the imagination and forgetfulness of the adjunets, night have conjnred up the presentment of its Grecian prototypes in massy marble, but a few steps more and the fapping canvas betrayed the staginess and hollowness of the copy. And the effect was the more destroyed by the presence of two immense bald longitudinal erections of rough pine, Wluch favored individuals who had not obtained the Privilege of putting their fingers into the temple pie were allowed to throw together to let to the excluded trom the oficial precincts at the moderate sum of $2 50.0 head. In the centre of the Doric bullding was the altar, erected under a canopy supported by Corinthian pillars and bearing a large gilded cross, which, ap- peartog between the Corinthian pitlars holding up the dome, was iniended to give a tinge of Chris- Uanity to the forms derived from paganism. .On the apex of the dome, above the usual lantern, was a statue of the angel of peace, which the acting Jenkins of the semt-ofcial journal announced to the public wis modelied, not ecorporeally, we must sup- pose, Upon the Joria and lineaments of the Princess imperial.

Of tbe slaves, 26,493 are employed as domestic servants, 4,272 are farm laborers, and 6,950 are artisans. As the whole ppuiation of the municipality of Rio—some one jundred square miles of area—is incinded in the census, the population of the city proper can hardly much exceed 200,000, or only half what it wus usualiy considered to ve, T bad estimated it at 300, 000, Som: statistics have also been acquired in regard to the births and deaths of the slaves in Rio during the last ten years. By the records it appears that during that period the deaths were 29,717 and the births only 14,144, The books of the notaries public of the peace also show that in the sume period 13,203 emancipations took place.
