Mariano Riva Pala clo and Rafael Martinez de la Torre, who acted as counsel lor the ArchduKe. Maximilian of Aus tria, presented themselves yesterday at tais ministry and stated that the vice Admiral Tcge tboff, of the Austrian Navy, bad arrived in Mexico and wlhbed to hold an interview with the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Vice-Admiral appeared to-day, accompanied by Messrs. Palacio and De ia Torre, at tbe hour appointed. Tbe Vice-Admiral makes known that be has come to Mexico to request of the Government of tbe republic permission to take tbe mortal re mains ot tbe Archduke Maximilian to Austria. The Minister lor r oreicn Aflnus replied that bo would submit said petition to the President of the republic, but be lore taking it into considera tion be would like that tbe Vice-Admiral would bo pleased to state in what cnaracicr be presented himself. Ihe Vice-Aamlral answered that when bis journey to Mexico was decided upon, it was thought that it would please tbe Government ot tbe republic belter far him not to come with any oilic al mission trotn tbe povernmentoi Austria, but sim ply with a private comnil.-tlon from the family, who out of affection, aud family piety naturally wh-bed lo obtain possession of the Archduice's mortal remains. For this reason Le had come merely with a private commission from the Archduke's mother, and his brother, the Em peror of Austria. In reply to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, he further added that he had simply received a verbal commission from the family of the Archduke; but that, if it were necessary, he was willing to give a written state ment that be bad come tor tbe purposes already mentioned. The Minister for Foreign Affairs repeated that he would submit bis request to tbe President of the republic, and would be able to make known his determination on tbe following day. S. Lebdo de Tkjada. On tbe 5th Inst. YiceA-dmlral Tegethoff, ac companied by Messrs. Palacio and De la Torre, returned to the ministry and received the fol lowing reply: MINISTER TEJAOA TO ADMIRAL TEQETHOFF. Baron Lago, wbo acted as Austrian Charge d'Atiaues near the Archduke; Baron Matrnus, wbo acted as Minister of Prussia, and Dr. Bach, family physician ot the Archduke, some time ago asked permission to remove tbe mortal remains of Maximilian. Tbe Government re plied to all three that it had reasons for not acceding to tbeir request. This reply was given because Government thought that its duty re quired that, previous to determining whether permission shall bo allowed to remove the Arch duke's remains to Austria, either an official document of the Austrian Government, or an express authority from tbe Arch duke's family requesting tbe Uepubtican Government to deliver the remains, should be submitted to the consideration of Government. Although Vice-Admiral Tegethoff, by reason oi bis social position in Austria and bis personal merits, is deserving of consideration on tbe part ot tne Mexican uovernment, tne latter caunot decide to eraot him permission to remove the Archduke's remains, seeing that he has brought with him no credential tuiouing either ot the above two requisites deemed imperative in tbe case. The President ot the Reputilic has autho rized the Minister for Foreign Affairs to Inform Vice-Admiral Tegethoff that when either of said requisites snail oe sausuea, w net uer Dy an n i i . . c . k .... t uouuuivm iiuiu tuc nusuiau vju iqu- meLt or oy an express authority from the family requesting tbe Archduke's remains, the Govern ment 01 tne itepuouc win oe utspo-ea to permit tbeir removal to Austria out of a duo regard to the natural sentiments ot piety tnat prompt such a reanest. Tho Government, out of the same sentiments of piety, baa, in the interim, ordered that tbe remains be embalmed, en tombed, and cared lor with all the decorum due to a departed being. S.

North Platte, fcept. 20. The second pow wow with the Stoux Indians has lust b;cn con cluded, lasting several hours, aud witnessed by a laree crowd ot interested spectators. As tbe speeches of General Sherman and Senator Henderson are directly to the point' In question and cover the whole grouad, I have given them in lull, as well as the replies of the principal chiels. Tbey seemed greatly impressed with the words spoken to tbem, and were appa rent fy satisfied to adopt the wishes of tbe Com missioners. Geucral Sherman opened the coun cil as follows: GRNKRAL 8111 1 MAN'S BI'EIClt. Friends: We have beard your words, and have thought of tbem all night, and now give you our an swers. You tell us tliul the building of the railroad up the hmoky lllll and tbe wagon toad by i'owder river are the principal cause) of tne present trouble. The Uoverumeut suppo-es the ruoky Hill road was agreed on b; the Cheyeunes and Arapahoes, wbo did own tliul country more than four years ago, and It has been travelled by stages and Wagons ever since. Military posts and mail stations were built theie mure man two years ago, and this was nol then considered a cuuse ot war. Tne Govern incut thought tne building of an iron road there to you would be nothing more, but to us is much more convenient and rapid, aud it Is very necessary lor our people who live In ew Mexico aud Co orado, and it will be built. We are to meet tbe Cheyeunes next month on the Arkansas, and It wo learn that they are damaged Dy this railroad we will make them compensation; out the road must be built, and you must not Interfere with lu The Powder river road we established lust year for the purpose of haul ing flour, co flee, and sugar to our people who are digging gold In Montana. Ho wbfte settlements bave been made along the road, nor does the travel there disturb the buffalo, nor does it de stroy tbe elk. and antelopes. The. Indians wore permltud to lniut tbem as usual. Tne Great Grand father supposed that the Indians In that country had consented to this road lu the treaty at Lhranile last sprlnk (Colonel Harquadler'a commis sion); but It seems tbat tome of the Indians did not give their consent, but have gone lo war. While the Indians continue to wage war about tne road we will not give it up. But If on examination at Laramie we find ihe Indians' right to be good, we will give It up, or pay you lor 11 If you will keep the peace. If any Ol yon have claims up there, you can go up with us and moke your statement el mat couucil. You also ask of us presents, more especially powder and lead, with which to hunt buffalo. We will give you some iiresenls, because you bave given up lbj hu jt to come lere at our invitation, but we will not give you much till we have come to a dual and satisfactory agreement. We caunot uow give you powder and lead, because very receutly, and we think wiibout Just cuuse, some ot you bave killed peaceable emigrants and people. Home of yon at- taCKea a rauroau train anu aiueu men woo naa no guns, but were simply carrying goods aud provisions lor peaceable people, even to feed some or your own Indiana. To (Spotted Tall, Swift Bear. (Standing Klk, and Big Mouln, and their bands, we are willing to give aimosi anyiuing toey wsnt, ueuauao uiuy ua, remained ft peace all summer; but the rest of you must work wllh your bows aud arrows, till, bv your continued good conduct, you sutlsry us you will not use the powder to kill our people. Tuis answers all your questions; aud now for the udvlce you ask of US, V B KUUW mti uuiereui UHUiin. ui lue rvu aim white men. You depend on game for a living, and have to get blai.kets, huts, and coining of tbe whites by iriioe or oy annuities anu presents, All that you s-e the white men possess they have to work for, and they do not have to work as hard as you do in bunting, hut they bave plenty to eat, have good bouses, and line clothing. You can, In time, do the same If you will. And we believe the time has come when you should begin, aud with our ass Btauce you cau in a lew yeais nave tierus ot cattle and horses, like the Cherokees, Creeks, and Choctaws aud can have corn-fields, like the fancas, Yanktous, bhawnees, and Fotiawalomles. You see for your sul es that the white men are advaiclug lu all directions, aud spue of all you can do, tbey will soon bave all the good land of this coun try, so that unless you choose a home now it may be too late next year. The railroad tip the Platte will be built, and that up the tmoky Hill also. If you are damaged we must pay you In lull, aud It you young men. attempt to Interfere, tne Great Father, wbo. out of klunuess to you, has heretofore bed back the white soldiers and people, will let them out, aud yon w 111 be swept out or existence We therefore pro pose to let the whole Hioux nation (you included) select a country on the Missouri river, embracing the v iiue.arin auu vueyonne rivers, wj. nave rorrver, and we propose to allow you to keep out all white mt n, except such traders and agents as you mny .choose, there to cultivate tbe land, build houses,-, aud ralseherd of pouies.vcattie, sheep, etc. We propose to help you there as long as you need help ana to let aou have-any kind ot men you want to show you how w raise corn,' weave wool into blankets, and make bouses. We could teach your children to read and Avflte. We also propose to oirer the Cbeyennes, Klowas, -Camauches. ud.Bouthern Iudiaas similar homes inHhe country below the Arkansas, and If any of you prefer that country you can go there and bave the sameadvaulsges. A great many treaties bave been mode by those who bave preceded ns. We are willing to. abide by their action; but we fear they did not make lull allowance for tbe rapid growth of our peo le and as our old men die and. others succeed them, tbeir promisee sometimes are forgotten. But you can see for your selves that tbe travel across the county has Increased so much tbat tbe slow ox:wagons do not now answer tbe while man's purposes, aud we are building costly roads of Iron with rteam locomotives. You cannot stop them any more than you can stop the sun or moon, and you must submit, and do the best you can for yourselves. If any of you wish to travel and see for youn-elves, we will pay your expenses, aud let you see how the white men are increasing In numbers and power. They hardly thl-ik of what you call war out here, and If tney make uo their minds, they will come to these plains as thick as the largest herd of buffaloes, and they will kill you all. ' ra" We. as your friends, therefore, want you, of your owu choice, to do what we know Is best for your selves. We oiler you to choose your own h jmes and to help you to learn the white man's wsys.and to give you all the rights a white mau has. We are willing to do for you belter than we do for white men who come across tbe great sea. This Commission is not a peace commission only; it Is also a war commission. Ibe Ureal Father wants ns to be kiiid and liberal to tbe Indians of the I'laias if they keep peace but if thpy will not hear reason, then he com mands that these roads be made safe byawartbn will be different from any you have ever seeo. We will be here again In November, until which time you nay liuntou the Jtepubllcati; but then we want you again to meet us here un 1 tell us for good If you agree to go up to Ihe White Kurtli next spring. In that event we will provide tor you on Brady's Island till the grass k rows lu the spring, when we want you to go up to the White Karth to pick out vour future homes: the nearer the Missouri the belter, tor by mat river our steamboats cau carry up youraunual sup plies, and by ll your trailers cun gel their goods cheap. We would like you to think of these things uow aud to sav w hat you think; but we will leave the ar Idles ot our agreement lo be made when we oome back here In November- Tbe Indians rametothe council with the nrnnnta. tlon of receiving a full supply ol powder and lead 'or their fall hunting, aud he announcement bv Qeuural Hhermun that hut little would be given them, aud that only to Mpotted Tail's baud, caused many grunts of oiusatlslauiiou among tbe audience, aud Turkey Foot left the council In disgust, making his way rapidly over the bluffs In the direo'luu of his people, probably with Ibe determination that since powder and lead were denied him. he would do his bast at killing the whites with his bow and arrows.

Etc. Etc. Etc. ' BFBCIiX DESPATCH TO IVEWCta TEXiaBArH. Washington, Sept. 28. At the time of ray first despatch, the prize fight was adjourned from 10 until 1 o'clock:, to ive time to Dillon to come on the ground, ha aving mistaken tbe place of meeting. Subsequently Dillon appeared with his se conds on the fighting ground, shortly before 1 o'clock, when it was found that Mullen had left for Washington, claiming that tbe stakes be longed to him in consequence of Dillon's not appearing at the time fixed upon for the fight. Mullen came direct to Washington, and lelt for l'hllftdfilnhia in the 12-16 train. Dillon's crowd waited some time, expecting Mullen would return, as me'senscers were sent for him, but he failed to put in an appearance. The greatest excitement prevailed. Pistols were drawn, and it was insisted by Dillon's friends that tbe stakes should not be given up to Mullen, as they alleged they had been misled as to tbe place ol fighting, and had really been waiting for some time at the place they sup posed the fight was to take place. Tbe crowd waited at the last-named place till after 1 o'clock, and then separated, the roads being filled with carriages and every descnp-. tion of vehicles returning to Washington, -from another oobrespombbnt. ' Washington, Sept. 26. At 1-45 the ring" was finished and tbe grass mowed from the ring. A lavorable place was assigned (or the reporters, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore being represented. The betting seemed to favor Mullen one offered $500 and another $100 for Dillon, and another $25 for the fir t blood for Mullen. NiLe o'clock arrived, and no Dillon. Mullen on the ground already. Tbe tight Is off M Dillon does not appear before 10 o'clock. At 045 Mullen ''shied his castor" into the ring, and was followed by his backers and seconds, amid ibe cheers oi these present. Mullen walked around the ring, wearing a heavy white over coat, and shaking hands with his friends. AU sorts , of chaff was gotten off at tbe expense of the absent Dillon. Mullen's bands were dyed almost black with some drug used for hardening the flesh. At five minutes lo 10 o'clock cheers were given that Dillon was coming over the hills From the railroad near the Bennett larm house. Tbe backers of Mullen stated that the time was np, and parties present stated tbat there was four minutes' time. Tue backers ot Mullennsed Philadelphia time, and tho rule was that the principals were both to be in tbe ring previous lo 10 o'clock. At two minutes to 10 o'clock, according to Washington time, Dillon shied his castor in the rinjr, followed by Bud Riley and Martin Kil lAChey, and others. The Mullen party here left the ring, claiming tho fight, while Bud Kiley, excited at hi long chase lor the ground, pitched into Oyster Jack. The ring-maker k uocked him down, as be imagined there bad been collusion io pitching the ring. Frank Clark, of Philadelphia, the stake holder, a young man, and lame, was surrounded by the friends of both parties, claiming the fight. Consideiable wrangling ensued, and a Baltimorean named Jack Edwards drew his pistol to shoot some one, but he was dragged away by his friends. 66 Alter considerable delay and much excite ment, the stakeholder ordered the fight to go pn, but Mullen and his Iriends had left tor Washington. Mr. Clark then gave the Mullen party until I o'clock to appear on the ground and fight, or tho money would be given to Dillon. Dillon, previous to this, was taken to his cor ner and rubbed don b his friends, aud pre pared his toilet for the fight, and was after wards placed in a hack to wait until 1 o'clock. Ibe Dillon party understood the fight was to oome off at Ball's Cross Roads, on the Leesburg pike, nine miles Iroua Washington, and thus jrJt astray, and only made tbe ring side by last driving, hsving found out through a cavalrv man where the ring was actuaUy pitched. - . i " LATEST SHIPPING IHTELLISEHCE.
