VoL XXVI. MEXICO. MAXIMILIAN'S PSCAPE PREVENTED BY BAZAINE. B9 TELEGRAPH T0O THR TRIBUNE. WasmyTUN, Nov. 20.— he following VERrA CrUz, Nov. 1.—Maximi has not sailed yet, nor i8 it likely he will sail soon, asthe French will not allow him to leave until he s1gne a formal abdication. A Attle indiscretion of the commander of the Auetrion frig- ate Dandalo has been the canse of this. When Maximilian left Mexico, Gen. Bazaine thought that he came to Orizaba mercly on a little excursion, as e had gone to Cuernavaca, and other places. Day before yesterdey the commander of the Dandalo received at midnight a dispateh from Maximilian, order- ing them to have his frigate ready yesterday at 5 o'clock p. ., st which time Maximilien expected to be here, and wanted to sail at once. Assoon a8 the Auetrian eom- wander received this dispateh, be called on M. Peyron, the Freneh commander, to take leave of him, informing bim of the dispatch be had received, and asking orders for Trieste, M. Peyron sent at once this information to Gen. Bazaine, who dispatehed instructions by telegraph to the French commanders at Orizaba, Cordova and Vera Cruz, not to allow Maximillan to escape, and addressed himself to the Archduke, stating that he knew his plan to fly from Mexico, but that Le could not be permitted to do %0 unless he would formally abdicate, ‘The reason of this condnct is that should Maximilian toave without a formal abdication, the position of the French would be very diflicult and ridicalous, while if he abdicates in their favor they will be released from their en- gagement toward him, It is said that Maximiban will be obliged to return tothe City of Mexico wud submit to Bazaine's terws.

To the Editor of The N. ¥i Tribune. Str: If Ortega has done nothing, on United States soil, which may be properly coustrucd into conspiracy aguinst neighboring Power with which we hold friendly relations, and has been guilty of no other act violating the n lity laws, then 1 concur with you in the opinion th Government has no right to interfere by arrest Ris conduct, after he crosses the Rio Grande, is the affuir of Mexico; and it does not alter the law of the case that the Mexican people, with & uvenimity far gre than that which was shown in our own recent ¢ Bave already decided against bim and for Juarez. But I do not agree in the view you seem inclined to take of that decision. I thiuk fhe Mexicaus decided nightfully as well as unapimousiy. It would be superfiu- ous to debate this here, in the United States, were it not that an opimon favorable to Ortega's claims, if given in ® paper 8o influential as THE TXIBUNE, must place serious embarrassments in the way of the Mexican Liberals. This, Yknow well, is a result the furthest possible from your ine tentions, But thue it acts. For four years past the French in- waders have bad posscssion of ‘the Mexican scaports, and bave seized and appropriated all the revenue from im- prts. But nearly four-fifths of the publie revenues of the exiean Goverument is derived from the tariff. ~ Add to this that the people, harassed und pillaged, bave bad little means left, however well-disposed, to contribute support to the Constitutional Government. That Government, thus nearly beggared, had nothing left but the resort to which all civilized nations have at times been forced—a public loan. She needs nn\mm!n’(-!y arms, mubitions, sud military appointime but she bas nothing with which to pay for these except her bonds, duly thorized by Juarez and certified by his accredited ter. Though her entire public debt does mot excy $100,000,00, yet because of her uncertain fortunes her credit is low, and she Las to dispose of these bonds at 60 cents to the dollar in payment of the supplies she needs, You make it very difficult for her to do even this; you strengthen the hands of speculators who seek to impose wupon her still harder conditions—for you supply to themn arguments going to depreciate the credit of e Juarez Government. It is lmJ'(-...m.u for an exhausted nation to have to reeeive 60 and to pay some day 100 in return, with 7 per cent interest on that 100 until paid. You sggravate the hardship when you intimate that perhaps Juarez has not rightful claim to'the pontion he h.,}"f.i 1f he Aad, in point of fact, 1o such ciaiw, good and well: let the truth be told, Do matter whom it injures, But is that so? T'he techuical period when Juarez's term expired was the It of December last. Seven montbs later, 0"'5' ut forth his cluims in @ pamphlet, in English, pu lished here; an npce-l. in faet, sgainst bis own nation to ours, This pamphlet bad en n‘pnnmx of 26 gnfi entitled Letters in Ratification of his Position.” Ttdieclosed the fact that, after seven months delny, Ortega could muster but nine indorsers, every one Mexican refugees, four live ing in Texas, five ip New-York. There were two ex-Gov- ernors of States; two ex-brigadier-generals; one ex-post- master general; one ex-colonel: all disaffected officials like Ortega himself, and, like him, all absent from their native country in her hour of danger and suffering. Three I:llv‘..:u ex-editor and two unkuown 1dividuals, made up « To this pampllet the fricnds of Juarez issucd a reply. Its apvendix contains letters from every Governor of @ State in Mexico, then acting as_sueh, 1o the number of twelve, beside dispatehes from the principal corps com- manders then in the ficld, and communications from other public men. Every one of these sanctions Juarez s action, and lypm\'ca in ‘uuqualiied terms, his coutinuance in oflice a8 s sud in accordance with the will of the people, #o far as it was possible to ascertain that will. 0 pamphlet further sq, Not a Governor of a State, ot a town or a cily under native rule but has declared for the continnance, in his present tion, of President Juarez, Nay more, not a Mezicaw citizen, resident Mezico, has, wn public karangwe or in printed éommunica- f1on, u-pnm-f‘ uapprobation of the extension of Juarez's n. au- inis- d of affice. The uds which this acquiescence rests (aside from the love n:s?r\ut borne by the Nation for their long tried leader, Benito Juarez) seems to bo the followi; The Mexican Constitution differs from ours in this that wo one but the man actually voted for as President is, wnder_any circumstances, permanently o ocewpy the Presidential chair. In temporary default of a Prenident (Art. 79) the President of the Supreme Court of Justico sball serve, I the defuult of President be abeolute (ART. 80) a new election shall forthwith be held. If the eleetion of President shall not have becn published by the first of December (Art. 82), the President of the Sipreme Court shall be President provisionally. The word iu the original i8 snterinamente, strictly travslated, temporarily. Taken aloue aid acoording to its fotter, “Article 82 gives the Presidency tem, y 10 Ortegn an Chief-Justic But, taken in coy t 1 it, and in view of and yet more especia voliey which disting poran] bLes the Mexican (o ours, namely, that he ouly shall permanently act as Presi- dent who was elected to ‘0 President, not he who was elected ns & temporary substitute—it would bave been a direct violation of tho spirit of the Constitution bad the a\_xbulmu(e, in aerisis like the prescnt, become the prin- cipal. The default of the President, in his case, was abeolute 1ot temporary, and in such a case there is but ono consti- tutional remedy; a new eleetion shall be held, That could not be, because of the French invasion. The case provided for in article 82 is not one in whieh it was impossible to hold an elcction ; but one in which au election, being possi- ble, was not held or was not published. The intent was to guard against some intrigue of an nnecrupulousincumbent, » contingency mueh more likely to bappen under an un- settled Government like the Mexican than among us. But 10 one doubts Juarez’s great desire, had it been poss 10 hold an election; and as little can we donbt that, in case of such an election, he would have been, by an overwhelu- mg_mujmlly, the people’s choice. heso are the arguments of Juarez's friends, Good or bad, they have been indorsed by the Mexicans themselves, the Sole jndges in this case, 1o go behind their decision is to do them an injury by increasing the difliculty of re- establishing among them costitutional rule. Perhaps you doubt whether they aro steady and patriotic enongh to do this. I do not doubt it. I think we are too much inclined to undervaluo other races than our own, and 0o little disposed to make allowance for tho diticulties under which such races often labor. The Mexican race, when Cortez found them, wild and friendly, hud made encouraging advances toward eivilization. Since then they have been trodden under the heel of despotism. The French usurpation is but the last in o ong of outrages, For nearly three cengurics they suffered under Spanish vicercgal rule, intensificd by ré- ligious bigotry, as odious & Government as tho world ever saw; and when relicved from that they fell into the hands of an unserupulous Church, ° with vast temporal possessions—$300,000,000 of real estate, in- cluding half the City of Mexico. ccclesiastical reves nues from this source amounted to $25,000,000 anually, awply suflicient, in that country, to earry on war, and em- ployed by the Mexican Church thronghout tho last 30 years for that very purgose against the Liberals who Rought o throw off %0 grievous a burden, These last suc- cceded in that attempt only in 1859, under Juarcz, all the church property beyond its legitimate means of support being then secularized, that is, disposed of for the publie benetit. ‘The Mexicans bad their slavery as wellas we; only onrs was secalar, theirs ccclesiastienl, They, like us, have rid themselves of it, and are prepared, as wo are, {0 enter, untrammeled, on a new carcer of progress.

A FRIEND 10 REFUBLICAN MEXICO, New ¥ork, Nov WASHINGTON. —— NO CABINET MELTING — OPENING OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY ASYLUM—TROOPY FOR MEXiCO —ENLISTED SLAVES INTITLED T0 THE EXTHA ROUNTY—THE WELCOME TO CONGRESS. BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TH W 108, Tuesday, Nov, 20, 1£66. The President and Col. Jobnson having left on an carly train this morning for Baltimore to attend the laying of the corner-stone of the Masonic Temple, the White House has been entirely deserted to-day. The usnal Cabinct meeting was dispensed with, and the Secretaries improved the opportunity to get up a por- tion of the accumulated business of their offices. A boliday having been granted to all employés of the Government who were Masons and desirous of attend- ing the cclebration, the Departments were also but thinly attended. Altogether this has been a very quiet day at the capital, A delegation of Massachsetts Demoerats, headed by Mozes Bates, formerly editor of The Plymouth Rock, is now in this city, busily arranging tbe Post-Oftices of that Radical State. ho United States Military Asylum for disabled 1nteers gives notice that it'is now ready to receiy slunteer soldiers honorably discharged and who are disabled to such an extent &m they are incapable of earning a livelihood in the ordinary walks of life. Whatever labor they do will be paid for. Pensions must be given up to the Institution when the goldier euters, except when he bas a family to support. It is rumored that the Quartermaster’s n)’li-'u in busily engaged in preparing transportation for 5,000 troops to Mexico. It has been determined by the Attorne; neral that all colored troops who were slaves at enlistment, are entitlpd to the extra bounty, according to the length of their service, provided for the 12th and 13th sections of the act of July 2%, 15866, The Pay- master-General has accordingly directed paymasters to confer with mustering officers, to the vutfl)ml or- ganizations! of colored troops about being mustered out of service may bavesuch proper remarks entered as will insure the payment on the muster-out rolls of all bounties and other allowances due to discharged men under the above decision, or as provided for the other various clauses of colored enlistments in the circular of May 26, 1 from the Paymaster- General's office. The Pay eneral s in daily receipt of from 4,000 to 5,000 applications for the new bounty under the act of July 2%, 1866, and it is not unlikely that payment in some cases will commence before a great while. Owing to the lerge number of claims alrcady received, it is probable that many of the same company and regiment are already on file, which will facilitate the necessary scarches, for, while examining the roll for one claim, it is desirable to complete the roll by adjusting all the claims which will likely arise from that roll. For these reasons soldiers are advised to forward their claims as rapidly as possibly, for the sooner they are in the ment will commence. Care should be however, to seo that the cases are correct be- fore forwarding. On the discharge of a regular sol- dier in the bands of the department the names of 51 battles and skirmishes are noted as baving been par- ticipated in by the owner. It being o subject of much inquiry and interest among applicants for commissions in the Regular Army, they will, perhaps, be glad of anything bearing on the subject of the examinations beforo the Board of Offi- cers now in session in this city. It is generally under- stood that the examinations are very rigid, and Col. Brownlow of Tennessee to-day remarked that it was wholly useless for a man to apply for examination if he could not tell how to divide a4 grain of rice into 1,700 rations, and be able to feed a compavy for & weck on the proceeds. After o hard struggle of four weeks' duration, the Common Council of Washington have voted, 12 to 6, that liguor shall not be kold on Sunday., The joint vote, three weeks ago lastnight, was one majority in favor of yermiumg its sale on Sunday. The War Department, having determined to rebuild on its preseut site, has issned proposals for & new plan. Three thousand dollarsis offered for the suc- cessful model. Chaplain French of the Freedmen's Bureau is to ad- dres a large gathering of colored people to-morrow ovening. ‘Theobject of this meeting is to arrango some plan by which they can take part in receiving Congress. The Secretary of the Interior has received a dis- tl!v.‘h from Brevet Brigadier-Gen. J. H.

It is expected that Gen. Simpson will reach this city vext Saturday. The programme of the mass welcome to Congress, has been determined upon by the Committes having it in charge.

BALTINORE, Nov. 20.—Coutrary to expectations, the weather this morning was clear, and favorable for the great Masonic procession. President Johnson arrived at 9 0'clock, and was received at the depot by Gov. Swann, and taken to bis residence. The street was thronged with people, and the turnout was immenso. The procession wasa very brilliant affair. The Brotherhood were all clad in full suits of black cloth, imparting o five uniform ap- pearance to the line. Numerous fine bands of music gavo the displny much additional interest. The various Com- manders and Grand Commanders of the Knights Templar, in their rich and elegant uniforms, imparted o degree of gorgeonsness which probably bas marely, if ever, been equaled by any lar display in this conntry, There were many maguificent bauvers and flags in the proces- sion, richly emblazoned with the symbols of the order, conspicnons among which were the red cross banners a Hags of the Templars, 1t is estimated that from 5,000 to 6,000 persons were in the line of the procession. ‘Tho Co- Jumbia Commandery from Washington were accompanied by the celebrated Marine Band. The President reviewed the procession from the steps of Gov, Swann's residence, the entire procession uncoverng 4 it passed before him. The President wore his Masonie regalin, A the procession passed around Washington's monunient, the brothers all again uncoyered, in respeet to the memory of their brother George Washington, and the bands performed funcral marches, The head of the procession reached its destination about 1 o'clock, when he whole line was halted with open ranks, the Grand Lodge and the Commanderies of Knights Templar march- ing up through the ranks of the subordicate Lodges, and ocenpying their proper positions within the inclosure. The procession was formed with the Junior Lodges in advance. Among the Lodges from other cities were sub- ordinate Lodges from Washington, Alexandrin, Norfolk Petersburg, Lynehburg i Virgin Winchester, Sheppardstown and and wmong the Commanderies of those from Philadelphia, New-York, New-Jersey, Louisville, K ud Washington. As s00n a8 the procession had gathered around the site of the new temple, and the positions aseigned to the various Lodges had been taken up, the Grand Lodge of Maryland was opened with the ceremonies appointed for such occa- sious. ‘The Most Worthy Grand Master John Coates dirceted the exercises, which consisted of the usual im- pressive ntual and the ehanting of several hyming written i wsion, After the corner-stone had been finally othe i 4 aud formally declared to bo *a foundationi- stoue, well-formed, true and tiusty,” the Grand Mast'r gavo three knocks upon the stone saying, car me, wo proclaim ourscives frce utry, profess 1 “We prae Ve secrets con Know all of you w lich may Cowan ho i 1s would not have exis o many illustri Iy to sane Wo aro canopy of rowper vur Temple be s wmay practico ., Where the *iorever.
