Theo expected change in the Ministry was finally efiected by the Emperor, on the 20th of Ju a letter to La- cunza aud the issuauce of thres decrces. The letter eays “My dear President Lacunza: At the moment when the Ministry over which you have so wort'ily presided bocomes in part dissolved, we are pleased to give you a publio testi mony of our profound gratitude for the eminent services you havo rondered us, We hope that the nation will continue to profit by the counsels of your patriotic and illustrious fntelli gouce. - Receive the assurances of wy regerd. “M TMILIAN " The first decree appoints Gen, Osmont, Chief-of-Staff of the Expeditiouary Corps, Minister of War. Tho second decree appoints Gen. Friant, the intendant neral of the same corps, Minister of The third decreo orders the Ministry of Protection to be added provisionally to that of the Interior. It is said that Haro, Tamares and Lares have been in- wvited to form part of the new Cabinet. It is also said that thres uew Under-Secretaries will be appointed. The following explanation of the motives that deter- mined such & uotable political maneuver sccompany the decrees: ** In order to obtain, 1o the shortest time, the complete and Tasting pacification of the country, the actusl circumatances claim that unity of action and of ideas, which in all i has alwags Leen the most eflicient remedy. Couvicted thai tho guarautees necessary to Mexionn wooiety to regain prosperity with peace, aud to casry into effect important material impro , exact this eomplete unity, the Emperor has conferrod the Portolio of War to_ the Chief Stafl of tue Expeditionary Corps aud that of the Treasury to o Intendant Goueral of the sawe Corps. “These measures, which will be found in harmony with he wission of Her Majesty, the Ewpress, will demonstrate Mhat the Goverument acts in accord with its glorioas aliies, and that it makes sl the offorts the nation has the right to do- wand of it, to speedily obtain the pacification of the country. ““If all good Mexicass will rs nuder the peaceful banner ralsed by the Enperor, forge ad odious party dissen sions, which have doue 50 much damage, the natio will reach 1o the bight Fof prosperity destined for it by Providesce and | ln{mn-pl.h-u ation,” | * The report of there having been late 5;«»1“1(‘11 arrests at the Capital of Mexico is denied by the Pajaro de Verde. The damage to the railroad from Vera Cruz, caused by the rocent inundstions, were repaired in three days. The Minister of the luterior bas authorized the organiz- ation, in troublous times, of foreigners into militia, to aid the police in defendiug their property, which is nothing more than permission to every foreigner to wear and use arms to defend himself aud protect his property, when the police cannot do it. Siorra was again becoming much agitated. Strong partios of guerrillas overrun the country, invade the owns, and carry off the principal citizens, and oxact 'y ransoms for them. Tianguistengo was invaded on the 19th inst., and cight of the principal inhabitants carried off. Zacualtipan was suddenly eutered by alarge party of guorrillas, who charged through the town, killing several persons, and succeeding in getting out of reach of the garnsou before those there Lad recovered from their sur- prise & w Our Specis! Correspoudent. Crrx oF MExico, July 20, 1866, Great excitement had been occasioned in all the princi- pal citios by the order forya draft, to fill up the Imperialist army. The modes of raising troops under the Republic were voluntary enlistment or lcve, which latter process, wesombling the old English impressment for the naval servioe, was merely the sending out of an armed force and | making & general, indiscriminate ““gobble up” of every able-bodied male, to put him incontinently into the ranks ~1o run y, of course, on the first suitable occasion. 1In lieu of this system, the Emperor decreed a draft or con- scription, by lot, with the usual provisions for exemption, and also one for paying $400 to the Government for a sub- stitute for & drafted man. Neither fighting nor paying money being 8 favorite occupation with Mexican towns- poopa, a stampede from the towns to the mountains or other hiding-places had begun. A journal of Querctaro states that it was so general in that city, among all classes, that on the day :H-omled for the draft probably none but the exompts would be left. A like exodus had commenced n Mexico and Puebls, as the 15th of July had been an- nounced a4 the day on which the lottery for the honor of bearing arms was 10 come off. Beforo that day mrived it was tponed, and, finally, the official Purio of the 19th MT' that the entife draft had been indefinitely tponed as “unnecessary.” The snnouncement contains mny protty reflections on tbe glory of defending oue's country, the equity and advantages of a dreft; but says that inasmuch as the suthorities in the Provinces had nted to the Emperor that the rural guards, already disoiplined, sufficed for the®esired increase of the army, the draft would only give them raw troops in greater numbers than the service required. The Estafette gave publicity to some strange rumors in Finanee., < poference to Gen. Almonte, formerly the chief of the mon- archical ‘lm(y in Mexico, and head of the Regency prior to Maxim ‘s arrival in the country. These rumors wero that tho General, on his way last Winter to France, as Morican Embassador to that country, called on Senta ‘Anns at 8t. Thomas, and had a protracted interview with the exiled chieftain, the result of which was s secret union of those two former bitter enemies, with a view to dethroning Maximilian, The official Diario of July 17 ooticed in a fow lines these rumors, and queerly adds: “qWo can affirm that we know of no foundation for any sich " Qne of its cotemporaries calls attention ugular wording of this denial, sud adds: “ Until the Drario shall have seid there is no foundation for the nrm, wo incline to believe them."” t has been known to those acquainted with Mexi- can affairs ‘Almonte was very dissatisfied.

Tho newspapers of the city of Mexico, of July 16, re- late an incident of evil augury for tho Empire. “A body of Mexicans of the Impenial Army, betwoen 30 and 60 in number, belonging to the Tepiji cavalry, wero ordered from Tolue (capital of the department immiediately wost of the Valley of Moxico) on the 12th of July, to proceed to the city of Mexico, ou somo business connectsd with their service. On their way they pronounced against the olergy; 1wy letiers may Empire, were joiued by some of the country people, and the whole body, placing at its bead a pardoned guerrilla named Abraham Plata, soming in tho me t onco set to_plundering and ran- t approved style, taking the direction of scction around Cuernavaca. On t t desertion, the rest of the squadro about 80 in number, were with their officers, by a de ment of Frencl ne troops, and disanned and placed in confinement. The newspapers do not state anything further of the affair, or whetlier the deserters bad been punished According to the Estafette, the boldness of the guerril- las around Vera Cruz is amazing. One band had captured near the city eighty mules belonging to s carrier, and five Fnglish workmen on the railroad had been bagged and carried ofl to the mountains, The authorities of the city had received anonymons letters threaten’sg them with the same fate if they por d in their attempts to put down depredations. T uards st the city gates had been euforced, and a detachment of fifty men, with two rifled cannon, had been landed from the fortress of San Juan do Ulloa to increase the security of the city, and dotach- ments of troops had been sent out to guard the road to Julnpa. An attack was made on & convoy of specie on the road to Vera Cruz, but was repulsed éy the Egyptian troops guardiog it. ‘The Imperial Government seems to be coming down with & heavy hand on the press.

From the comments of the newspapers it would seem that the French residents of Mexico have been consider- ably exercised by two s of intelligence rocently received by them. The one is of the conclusion of @ convention between France and the Emperor Maxi- milian, by which $5,000,000 in bonds of the Mexi Frencli loan are aceepted in hguidation of the claims of French subjects, for which Napoleon weut to war with Juarcz. They console themselves with the belief that France will be responsible to the iudividual claimants, and that they will not have to take their pay in the Moxican bonds at par. The otber subject of disgust, and indeed of well founded alarm to allthe French residents,ariscs from the remarks of rounded in their quarte roported as sayin; evacustion, the p) settle up their affairs aud got out of harm'’s way. On this rather inglorious finale of Napoleon's plan to infuse fresh bleod iuto the body {mlme of his Latin cousin of eeven- eighths Indian blood, the Estafetts pithily romarks that a goodly nuwber of the French in Mexico have already set- tled up their affairs by the expeditious process of being plundered and murdered by Liberal guerrilias. Mexico, July 29, 180, The official Diario of the 26th anuounced a chango of Minister, which is considered by the newspapers a8 indi- cative of a radical change of policy on the part of the Em- ror Maximilian, and a determivation to throw i for support on the Conservatives aud Monarchists, The Minister of Foreign Affairs renains ss heretofore, Arroyo having charge during the absence of Castillo with the }Zm{»reu; but Don Jusn N. de Pereas, one of the Jeading Couservative Monarchists, is added toit, with the title of Counselor of the Ministry. The Navy Depart- ment, nominally annexed to this Ministry, reiains cs heretofore in eharge of & French naval oflicer, Bitazar, liarregui remains Minister of the Interior (gobernacio ) ; Ho is known favorably to our American public s a men! ber, some years ago, of the joint commission to run the boundery line between Mexico and this country. In all the other ministries there is a fell swoop. Lacun- 8, President of the Council and Minister of Finance, is retired, and Mr. Friant, Intendant-in-Chief of the French Army in Mexico, is, as the decree words it, “ charged with the direction of the Ministry of Finance.” General Garcia is also retired, and General Osmont, Chief of Staff of the French Army in Mexico, is ** charged with the direction of the Minisiry of War.” ‘The Minister of Internal Im- provements (fomento), Somera, is retired, and that depart- ment temporarily annexed to that of the Interior. Escu- dero, Minister of Justice, Education, and Worship, is re- tired, though his successor is not named ; the Presidency of the Council of Ministers is also left vacant. Don Teodosio Lares, now Chicf-Justice of the Suprome Court, is named as likely to occupy the vacant Ministry of Justice, with Tavera as sub-Secretary. Capt. Blauchot of the French army is to be sub-Secretary of r, ond Gu- tierrez sub-Secretary of the Interior. Taveraand Gutierrez belong to the Conservatives, and Lares, a lawyer and mag- istrate of high standing, is of the same pm{ @Swords in Spauish cards, and pikes in French, corre spond to spades in ours. Using the figure of the French journsl we should say, clubs; in plain Euglish, clublaw 1s threatened. The French journals, the Estafette and Eve Nouvelle, are jubilant over the Kmperor's change of policy. The oirmer, of July 27, says: 1o presence of the enmities exhibited against the Empire, and of the dangers which t ten it, the direction of publie affsirs should not remain in irreselato bands. Tt is necessary sudnoity of the fnsurgents with calm and ju- disorders with the action of justice, the ex- igarchs with effectaal repression, and secret in- re to remain inert and think that a flag honored at with im- lerided and whether it sball withdraw soon or late, lortous memories, and command respect from both friends foes. “ A menarchy cannot be founded on plunder and with snp- oven deliberats treachery of Liberals vhom the Emperor had taken into his contidence and plac:d in power, in the hone of thereby conciliating his oppcuients into support of his throno as a nationel and not a party institution. The letters of Maximilian dismissing his late ministers, if courteous in form, are ungracious in substance. The Diario of July 26, puls s that to Lacunza, complimen- tary to him personally, but lumping together in a curt line, Somera and Eseudero, who do mt appear, at least from the publications, to bave reccived se) te letters of dismissal. The Diario of the followiy published & lotter of similar compliment from the Emperor to Gen, Garcia, dated on the 26th, disiissing bim from the Minis- try of War. Both lotters contain vagae ailusions to the services the rejected connselors may yet render the coun- try, but tho sl o any presest official loaves and fishes for them is of the very fuintest. Such allusious are stereo- type in royal or imperial letters; but in bis previous changes of ministers, Maximilian's habit has been to pro- vide them with some good fat offices in the departments. In hort, the Liberal members of his Cabinet appear to have been dismissed ** in disgrace.” Sefior Prieto was Minister of Finance to Juarez, but would seem to have become his bitter enemy from the fol- lowing letter, which eppears u the Diario of July 28, The San Antonio Bejar st which Lo dates nis letters is San Antonio in Westorn Texas: “ SAX ANTONI0 BEJAR, Jane 4, 1866. “My DEAr'FrLLOW: T am sired of gwriting without,getting any azswer from any of you; but my craving is one which is ouly inoreased by what seemingly ought to stop it. ““Tho want of voncert with you aud your friends is producing gravo evils; among others, that of preparing in the develop- ment of events difficalties which ought not fo exist, sinos to remove them, you and they have only * From what 1 can see in the pape opinion, or discover from the very here, yon and your friends have bot only justifisd the coup d'etat of Jusrez, bot ropresent it as 8 heroic act, asa sacrifice of popularity, sud imperiling of honor itself, to save his country.

The population is de- scibed as giving the clearest proofs of their siding with the Imporislists. A singolar incident, however, which occur- od at Zacualipan (the key of the passes from the valley of Tuxpan), shows the diflicultios of the itustion. A Lody of guerriilas lately dastied iuto the town, firing at all they met, and killing oue citizen, and again dashed out before the Tmperialist garrison could do anything sgainat them. The small band which appesred near the City of Mexico undor Geronimo Fragoso (brother of a celebrated guerrilla chief, Catarino Fragoso, pardoned by Maximilian, and #aid 10 have left the country 1 ago), has been entirel; dispersed; 16 horsos, some aris and five prisoners had been gathered up by the Imperialists in the pursuit; and on the 18th of July, the I-nuclp&l fragment was met and routed by French troops; 22 were killed, smong them the chief, Fragoso; 10 prisoners were taken and brought to the city. The mfimvu were brmfl hunted up in the mounta; The band formed by the deserters from the Tepeji squadron had also been dispersed. Particulars had not been received. Iu Guanajsto, Brigido Torres, a notorious guerrilla brigand, had been killed on the 1st of July by « band under another Terfllh chief, Felipe Rocha, His head was cut off, and his body hung up to a tree. In the other parts of the central table land, quiet scoms to prevail, a8 no military operations whatever are reported, oxcept some few d"ynnhlmm of small bands of guernilas 41 the districts of Tula, Malinalco and Mazapil. “rom the Pacific coast the news is not very important.

It starts on the Prussian right at Krems, oo the Danube: follows the north bank of the river down as far as Stoc ; from that town runs up the curvo of the Golisbaoh rivulet to the neighborhood of Fella- brun; then, by taking a live to the village of Weinsteig, it strikes the Rossbach rivalet close to that village, follows this stream as far_os Leopoldsdorf, then runs along the road be- tween that viliage and Losse, and is then drawn along an imaginary straight line to the rallway bridge over the March, near Marchegg. On the left side of the March a straight line from the railway bridge carries it to the village of Bistritz. whence it follows the eastern edge of the Fabren Wald till it strikes the main road from Skaiitz to Tyrnau, It was further agreed that commanders of detachments and of troops left to mask fortresses should decide with the commanders of the I{rl[m uj\s«lln‘ to them upon tbe lines of demarkation to be obaerve u the vicinity of their own commands. ke Ay n Troops nficr the Conm- ( the Armintice, A correspondent of The London Timee, alter de- & the battle at Blumenau, near Proshurg, then refers to ot produced by the annonncement of the armistice Then oconrred n curious scene. ‘The mev of Bose's Prassian Brigade, who bad becn planted across the Presburg road, and fow hours before had been standing ready, rifle in hand, to fire upon ths retreating Austrian battalions, were surrounded by groups of those sery Austrian soldiers whom they bad been waiting to destroy.
