TIE MEXWAII Qt STION Atrocities of 'Maximilian' Rule---Pro tests of United Stales Govern ment---France Disclaims all Responsibility. We.snanaTorr,' Jan. 4.—There has just been'issued from the Public Printing. Bureau' the'Message of the President, here tofore transmitted to the Senate, in response to a resolution asking for information on the subject of a, decree of the so-called Em ierorof Mexico, of the 3d of October' last. copy of, this decree has already been pnt.dished, and M. Romero, in calling the attention of Secretary Seward to it and ether pipers, in October last,' says: in ; the nsurper's proclamation of the 241 inst., the Duke supposes, contrary to the fact, that the-constitutional President of the Mexican Republic had abandoned the national ter "Titory, and from this false hypothesis he concludes that the defenders of indepen dence, whom he callshandits, in obedience to Orders received from the French, have no leader. It is nothing new for the usurper to call thew -patriots, who sustain the cause of independence and the constitution of Mexioo, bandits; nor. is it new for him to treat them as such, with a severity that would be called excessive if applied' to criminals of the loviest i order: e showed the same deter- urination in his proclamation of the 3d of Nodember•last. .Now 'Maximilian wishes to fegtdate this established system of asses shiShon;by a decree issued on the 3d inst., creating most informal military tribunals, extending their 'jurisdiction to every person in the donntryfound armed without license froin his so-called Government, regardless of the number and character of the party he belongs to. • In this devree, excessively tyrranical, he condemns.to death every armed man who Is not a French 'soldier or a traitor, and even those who will proffer information which will aid the defenders of their coun try; and sanctions severe penalties for the mere act of concealing a patriot, or circula ting alarming news, and it has been carried ontiby his French directors who have been, by the system of courts-martial, sending to the 'scaffold the captive patriots called gae xillas, and even military officers of the national army who could not be called so. This extraordinary severity , is in open con travention to the studied and mild promises made in the first proclamation on landing at. Vera Cruz, dated the 23d of May, 1864, doc. t etc. M. Romero, in another letter to Secretary " Seward, dated November 20th, says the 'barbarous and bloody decree, the most cruel ever yet seen, has already begun to be exe cuted. It is now my painful duty to inform you that on the 13th of October last, the Generals Ortega and Zalazar, and Colonels Diaz, Poracho, Villa, Gomez, Perez, Mil liena and Villanos, five Lieutenant-Colonels, eight commandants, and a number of sub ordinate officers, were surprised and taken prisoners by the French forces in the town of Santa Anna Amatlan , State of Michoacan, as appears from the official des sent to the usurper, of which I me se a copy in French. Those generals and colonels belonged to the regular army of the Republic ; were officers of education and profession, and have fought for the independence of their country from the time the French first landed in Mexico. These distinguished Mexicans were executed in accordance with the above mentioned decree of the usurper of Mexico. I have information of the truth, of which unhappily there is no doubt, that the two generals and four colonels were barbarously sacrificed in flagrant violation of the laws of war and every principle of justice. It further appears from the documents that on the 28th of October, Charge d'Affaires Corwin informed Mr. Seward that it had been reported at the City of Mexico for the three preceding days, and generally be lieved, that on the 21st of that month Gens. Ortega and Salazar, and the four colonels were shot, but that no official account made of them had been published. Mr. Corwin also refers to the decree, par ticularly to the first article, showing that all those belonging to the armies, fighting for the Republican Government, will be shot if taken prisoners by the Imperial troops. Mr. Seward on the 3d of November ad dressed a letter to our Minister at Paris, saying—"l am directed by the President to request to ask the serious attention of the French Government to the military pro ceedings in Mexico, by which native Mexi cans taken captive while adhering to their own Republican Governmenti are denied the rights which the law of nations inva riably accords to prisoners of war." And on the 28th of the same month Mr. Seward addressed another letter to Mr. Bigelow, in which he says : "With refer ence to my despatch of the 3d instant, it is now my duty to acquaint you that infor mation has been received from the Minister of the Republican Government of Mexico accredited to this Government, to the effect that the sanguinary policy referred to in the above named despatch has actually been inaugurated by, the execution of several distinguished officers of the Liberal Vrces, who had been surprised and captured Vy the Imperialist forces in the town of Santa Anna, Amatlan, namely : Generals Ortega and Salazar and Colonels Diaz, Poracho, Villa, Gomez. Perez, Milliena and Villanos, five lieutenant-coonels and eight commanders, and a number of subor dinate officers. "It devolves upon me to instruct you again to call the serious attention of the Imperial Government to this subject, and to informlf. Drouyn de L'Huys that these reports have been received with the utmost concern by the Government of the United States. If, upon investigation, they should prove, as there is too strong a ground for believing that they are, well-founded, we cannot suffer ourselves to doubt that so far as the Government of France is concerned, it can never countenance proceedings which are so repugnant to the sentiments of modern civilization and the instincts of hu manity." Mr. Bigelow. tinder date of Paris, No vember 30, 1865, writes to Mr. Seward as follows: Sir— He (M. Drouyn de L'Huys) here ed to the representa tion I had made fW regard to the shooting of the Mexican prisoners taken in war and also to the case of Madame de Ytur "Why," he said, "do you not go to Presi dent Juarez? We are not the Government of Mexico, and you do us too much honor to treat us as such." "We had to go to Mexico with our army to secure certain important interest; but we axe not responsible for Maximilian, for his Government. He is accountable to you as to any other Government, if he violate its e i ghts, and yon have the same remedies there that we had." Mr. Seward, under date of December 10, inkorms M. Romero that ttle lattees de spatch and its accompanying documents; for which he tenders his , thanks, have re teiied the consideration to which they are justly entitled by, this Government. , Embezzlement and Disappearance. Sr. ALBANS, V Yan. 4.-,--The singular disappearance ofXr. Hubbell, Cashier of •the Miesisiquoi Bank, at Sheldon,Vermont, is at last accounted for; He turns out to be a defaulter in a large sum; the amount is stated as high as $75,000. His embezzlement began a year ago, but had been SO covered iD;‘ , NO entries and falselootings as toelude . , observation anti! yesterday. The accounts; of the Bank have to-day been exatnine&by , competent „accountants, and the aSsets:are Selieved tobe sufficient forthe .red . eniption, of the bills. Bill holders are so , advised. Hubbell is reported to have been sled, extravagant liver, his expenses: exceeding those of almost any man in Franklin county. His whereabouts is still unknown to the officers of the bank. Message of the Governor of Maine. AUGUSTA, Me., Ja.n. 4.—Governor Cony was inaugurated to-day, and delivered his message to the Legislature. Referring to the _military history of the, State during the rebellion, he says that Maine -furnished 71,558 men, being more than one-tenth of her population. Five regiments and one battalion of. infantry still remain in, the service, The records ,exhibit the fact that of the soldiers Maine furnished 8,446 perished, either being slain in battle or died of wounds received of di sease contracted in thsservice of the Govern ment. , He believes that some testimonial is due ,to the memory of the dead, and equtally to the:mere fortunate living, as, broad as the -authority of the State, in token of its appre ciation and gratitude, and suggest that a l: monument be erected in onor of the former, and medals, with suitable • inscriptions, be struck and furnished ,o the latter who : have been honorably discharged. Bat this will not satisfy the public conscience, if the duty of the State is thus but in part dis charged. :There is one thing which can and should be done, and that is to enact a law that no soldier of sober habits incapacitated by inju ries received in the discharge of his duty while in the military seririce, or his family, Who shall require aid from any city or town, shall become paupers or subjected to any disability in consequence thereof. The State expenditure for war purposes amounts to ;$7,357,573. _ The amount ad vanced by cities and towns for aid to the families of soldiers to January Ist, 1865, was $1,599,536, which has been refunded by the State or provision made therefor. Returns received from the cities, towns and plan'tions of the State under the re quirements of the law, show that they are in debt not less than $6,556,183, which they have paid for bounties. Altogether there has been expended by the people of Maine for the support of the national cause $14,- 093,572, for which they - owe to-day about $12,000,000, saying nothing about private contributions, which, through their libe rality, have continually flowed as freely as water. The State enjoys a high financial charac ter, it bonds having been sold in the closest money market of the year within one or two per cent. as high as the seven-thirty bonds bYthe United States. The Governor presses upon the considera tion of the Legislature the necessity us well as the value of adhering to the policy of gradually paying off the public debt through the Instrumentality of the sinking fund. He contends that the indebtedness of the States, including all their municipalities, occasioned by war expenses, should be as sumed by the Government of the United States. The Governor concludes by arguing at some length thelpresent conditionof national affairs. He takes ground in support of the President's policl for the return of the revolting States to their rela tions with the Union, to the spirit add purpose of which conditions no loyal man, he says, would utter a dissent. The restorations! of the revolted States tr. the Union upon any other basis than that of limiting the exercise of political rights to the actually loyal population, of the one which shall fail to secure the recognition of the colored race as freemen, having equal rights and obligations with the whites, or nits to provide for their moral and intel lectual culture, so indispensable to the citi zen of the free State, cannot becontem plated except with the profoundest alarm. The objection to investing the colored race with the elective franchise, growing out of their ignorance, is one having great force, but applicable alike to the white man of the same intellectual condition. To ob viate this, there may be a necessity for postponing their full investiture with this right, until they, in common with other ignorant persons, shall be fitted by educa tion for its exercise. The stimulus this would impart to the educational effort of both races would be o; incalculable benefit. In the meantime,as a measure of security to the nation, the Constitation of the Union should be so amended as to limit the right of national representation to the legal num ber of suffrage in each State, and to define who shall be electors in the States of Presi dent,Vioe President and Representatives to the Congress of the United States.
