Messrs. Wenderoth, Taylor & 'Brown, the well-known photographers,have .kindly appropriated one of their galleries for the purpose, and this splendid work of . art will be exhibited there on and after the '2ot.b. of this month. The " Storm in the Rocky Mountains " is too well known as the master-piece of Mr. Bierstadt's genius, to need anything but the simple announce ment that we are to have a chance to enjoy :Its beauties. The generosity and patriotism that have prompted the distinguished artist - to exhibit it for so worthy a cause, deserve - the warmest praise. COURTS.

NEWS FROM MEXICO. Operations of the Imperialists on the Rio 'Grande Border---Occupaiion of Monterey and Saltillo--Futile Ef forts of the French to Open the Roads to Matamoras Trade--- Liberals Again Near Matamoras—Defection of Imperial Generals--The Merchants Disgusted and Disheartened-- TheCordovaColony a Failure—No Pro tection Given by Maximilian to Rebel • Set tlers, &c. (Correspondence of tile New York Herald.l BROWNSVILLE March 17th, 1866.—The Ranchero, of Matamoros, an ultra imperial rebel sheet, in its issue of the 11th, has the following: We have information from Monterey of a thoroughly reliable character to the Ist in stant. Gen. Jeaningros:has been busily engaged since his entrance into Monterey scouring the country and clearing.it of those lawless characters who still cling to the idea that the ends of government can be defeated. Gen. Jeaningros has had two engagements, completely routing the enemy, resulting in tho establishment of peace for a long dis tance around Monterey. There was not a robber band between that place and Chian. Gen. Douay had not arrived at Monterey, but it was expected he would enter the place with 9,000 men on the 4th inst., which we have no doubt he did, possibly one or two days later than the time mentioned. Gen. Douay's army is on the way to this border; and we are assured that twelve or fifteen thousand men will be distributed along this river, should so large a force be necessary to preserve the peace. There is no doubt that the end of our border troubles is not a cable's length distant. The same paper of date the 13th says: W e are in possession of late and important in formation from the interior. General Douay with his whole army entered Saltillo on the 4th inst. The imperial contra guerillas, under command of Dupin, had reached Victoria. Upon Dupin approaching Victo toria Juan Jose de la Garza left for San Fer nando. Juan Cortina has gone to meet Garza at the latter place. Speculation is unnecessary; for the most stupid and obdu rate ought to comprehend the result from the present standpoint of view. The impe rialists hold Chihuahua, Monterey, Victoria and Matamoras, numbering fully twenty thousand veteran troops. In their steady approach upon this border they will close every avenue of outlet. It is unnecessary to say to the people on this robber-infested border, "the day of your deliverance is at hand." On the 14th still later "reliable" informa tion: had been received, embodied by the same gracious journal, as follows—Parties just arrived from Monterey, which . place they left on the Bth instant, bringing us the information that an import ant movement was on foot, only waiting to complete transportation ar rangements. Two thousand men were un der marching orders, but in what direction is only matter of conjecture, though the general understanding was that they were heading for the Rio Grande. The town of Parras was reported besieged by the enemy. and General Douay had despatched a co lumn in that direction to put them to flight. The place was being held by an imperial force one hundred and fifty strong. Gene ral Douay is reported having divided his army into several commands, any one of which will be stronger than the entire force of the enemy in Northern Mexico. The facts are that Monterey is much in the same position as Matamoras—practi cally in a state of siege; nor can any save armed parties, in considerable force, go a league beyond the city save by favor of the liberal chiefs in the vicinity. When armed bands are sent out to encounter the liberals the latter are not to be found. Knowing that no practical good can follow an engagement they invariably avoid it, moving through the bypaths in the chapparal. where it is impossible to follow them. No engagements have taken place in that vicinity. General Douay, with about one thousand men, started from Bailin° for ' Monterey during the early part of this month. There were at the time about two hundred French troops at Parras, and a small force of imperialists (natives) at a small place not far distant. The French cothmander formed a plan for the capture of a certain band of liberals, and sent a courier to the com • mender of the native troops directing him to be at a certain point at such a time. The courier was captured and the Frenchman, upon arriving at the point designated, was met by a largely superior force of the repub licans and completely routed. Report has it'd:let his entire command was placed hors du combat. One hundred and fifty cases of ammunition and a quantity of supplies were captured. The liberals then proceeded against the native imperialists, who, upon' their an proach, followed the usual custom, placing a white band around their hats, in indica -tion of a change of sentiment, and imme diately joined the ranks of their old ene mies. The leader managed to escape. Obtaining a knowledge of these facts Gen. Donay immediately changed his direction, marching towards Parma, and leaving the pacification of the frontier indefinitely post poned. These facts are well authenticated, having been brought by parties direct from Monterey: They are known to imperial ists, including the Ranchero, but carefully suppressed, as not in accordance with the imperial theory (French and Austrian) that the country is quiet. Opening the Roads. The business men of Monterey, who are in the best position to judge of the prospect for the opening of the roa i s, have no confi dence in the success of thefforts announced to be made, and which the activity of the liberals in the interior has for the present postponed. A merchant residing there, un derlodate of March 7, writes to his corre spondent in Matamoras to _dispose of his large stock of goods in the latter place, as there was no prospect of getting them to the interior, and he could afford to hold them no longer. Another, under the same date, while care fully excluding all allusion to politics, closes his letter with the remark. do not see much probability of the road to Matamoras getting clear for some time to come."' ' In despite of every assurance to the con- PHILADELPHIA, TUEDAY, APRIL 3, 1866. irary, Ism satisfied that there will be little change in.the condition of affairs in North. ern Mexico during the present season, and in this opinion I am sustained by the leading business men of Matamoras of all parties. Meeting of.the lfferchants. The,merchants of that city recently held a meeting to consult on the state of affairs, and, after some discussion, waited on Gen. Mejia with several propositions, the first of which was that the old order of things under, which one-fourth duties should be charged on all goods crossing into Texas should be restored. Proposition not entertained. Se cond. that a certain diminution of the duties on goods going into the interior should be made, so that the merchants could afford to make some arrangements with the out side party, or "the outlaws." Strange to say this truly Mexican Idea was not thought Worthy of adoption. Third, that permission be granted to send goods to Vera. Cruz, du ties to be paid there. Assented to, provided bonds were given that the goods sho aid go to the port designated. In closing, the General kindly intimated to the anxious men of traffic that' conspira cies would not be tolerated and that the La guna was close at hand. The reader will bear in mind that all executions most of which are of a very summary character, take place in the plain known as the La guna, just outside of the city. The mer chants retired silent and sombre. Forced Loomis. It will be recollected that about the Ist of January last, a forced loan was levied by General Mejia, for which drafts upon Vera Cruz were given. It was subsequently announced by the Alatamoras journals,with a loud flourish, that these drafts were paid, which statement was circulated throughout the United States. Up to this time,however, they have not been paid, nor is it probable that they will be. The merchants who paid the money regard it as lost, and will be only too happy if not compelled to pay any more, though it is confidently expected that an other "loan" will be called for at an early day. . • _ The Cordova Colony. A gentleman residing prior to and during the war in the interior of Alabama has re cently returned from Cordova. He left the States in August last, determined never to submit to the rule of the detested Yankees. He returns, after six months experience, satisfied that there are much worse coun irks than the United States, and perfectly content to remain under the Star-Spangled Banner. Contrary to the account published in my last, he says that the colony is a com plete failure, owing to the lack of those two important elements of success—capital and labor. There are about thirty Southern families there, the great majority of whom acknowledge a desire to return. He speaks highly of the beauty and productiveness of the country, bat reiterates the oft-repeated statement that no protection is afforded by the government. There has been no attempt at cultivation, save by General Shelby, who has his family with him, and is the most contented of all. Price is there, doing noth ing, discouraged and sombre. Harris, of Tennessee, is anxious, yet afraid, to return, for fear of being imprisoned by hiaold enemy the parson Governor. Several young men, who went there soon after the surren der, swearing to be ever true to "the con quered banner," have recently returned, much more amicably disposed to the land of their birth, sadder and wiser men. Certainly no one of those now there will advise others to come; and all the glowing representations which are palmed off on the public may be set down as the work of in— terested speculators. The Liberals Again near Matamoras. It is stated that Cortina,-who left the border some weeks since and proceeded to San Fernando to join General Garza has returned; that he has settled his difficulties with Canales, and that the two have joined heir forces and are now in the vicinity-of Matamors. Certain it is that members of his band have been seen between that city and Bagdad, and the line of stages running between the two places has been withdrawn, as they can no longer run with safety. The citizen guard in Matamoraa is kept constantly under arms, and additions are being made to it daily. Joined the Liberals. General Vicente Garcia de la Cadena, of Zazatecas, and General Miguel Lorada, of Durango, until of late in the imperial ser vice, recently abandoned f it and joined the liberals. Revolutionary Sympms in Prance. Not only in the Legislature but elsewhere the manifestations of public opinion in France are becoming more open and decided. 'this was shown by several incidents which accompanied the production of M. Emile Angler's new play, La Contagion, at the Odeon, on Saturday evening. The house was filled with an eager and brilliant audi ence. In the pit sat the leaders of the Latin Quarter—Pipe-en-Bois, fierce and dishev eled, among the number. In the orchestra stalls and boxeawere the Princess Mathilde, Count Valewski, M. Fould, Madame George Sand (behind whom M. Angler was mod estly concealed), Glais-Bizoin, Jules Favre, Prevost-Paradol, and other political and literary celebrities. On the arrival of the Emperor and Empress there was some slight applause, mingled with murmurs of "A:bas Za clapue." A cry from the pit, "How about the Luxembourg?" "Leave us our garden!" was received with laughter, and caused evident agitation among the police. The rising of the curtain restored silence. During the first two acts the audience was quiet and reserved. The third and fourth acts excited greater interest, but the piece closed tamely. Altogether, the play was only a doubtful success. It was the beha vior of the audience which gave special interest to the proceedings. Theauthor has put some remarks rather depreciatory of the English into the mouths or some of his characters. One of tthem has designed a canal which will affect English supremacy at Gibraltar, and our countrymen arerepre sented as intriguing unscrupulously against it. Afterwards,however,the hero exclaims, "But, after all, the - English are our best friends, and they are a Free people." A deafening "Bravo" from Pipe-en-Bois and his companions in ;the pit was the signal for general applause, of which the Emperor seemed to indicate his ap proval. A few moments later M. Got quitted the stage, with the words "Il vient un moment ati les verites baffauees 8' affirment par des coupes de tonnerre." For several minutes the performance was suspended, loud calls for Got to repeat.the phrase, anoi cries of "Vive les coupes de tonnerre," " la revolution." dc. In the fifth act, an allusion to speculations in land renewed the exclamations regarding Luxembourg. During the whole of the representation the Emperor assumed a cold and impassive at titude. The Empress, on the contrary, ap peared to be much amused by the efferves mace of the pit. The audience continued its noisy domonstration even in the streets, and "Vive ,le . , ,Luxembourg," . "Viva la pepiniere,"'were shouted - after the Imperial carriage as it rolled away to the Tuileries. OUR "W r itOlari COI7NTRY. HAVANA, March 28.—The steamship Vera Cruz, Captain Murray, from Vera Cruz on the 23d ult., via Havana on the2Bth, arrived at this port last night. We are indebted to the purser for favors. The Spanish steamer Pebayo, from St. Domingo on the 18th inst., arrived here yesterday. I give you an ab stract: The Governor of the province of St. Domingo bad given notice to all persons able to bear arms to report themselves, so that the government may avail of their ser vices. The National Congress was installed on the Bth, the election for President having resulted in favor of Valentin Ramirez Baez; the Vice President chosen being M. Curie'. The House of Representatives had no quo rum that day. The following is a record of what has been done in Congress: On the Bth the President issued his message; on the 9th the reports of the Secretaries of State were read before a lull House, and the respective committees were appointed to report thereon, as well as to frame a reply to the message; on the 10th Congress received another message from the President, stating that public order had hcen disturbed on the southern frontiers and that the disturbances were becoming of a serious nature. He further, pointed out the impossibility for him to dictate the steps or the necessary means to remedy the evil, in view of the limited action to which the actual compact confined him. Congress im mediately named a committee to investigate and take matters of so much importance in to consideration, and called in the help of various citizens to aid in their labors. On the 11th the committee gave in their report. On the 12111 two decrees were promulgated —one declaring the provinces of Azua and St. Domingo in a state of siege, and authorizing the President to incur the ne cessary expenditure for mobilizing the national guard to restore order; the other sanctioning an extraordinary issue of Treasury notes by tit eßoard of Credit (Junta de Credito) to the extent of one hundred thousand dollars, in the same form and with the same guarantees as were conceded by the decree of the Protectorate of the 28th or October, 1865, to be placed at his disposal. On the 13th there was no session. The 14th was principally occupied with the report presented by the Committee on Justice and Public Instruction, which committee was , composed of Messrs. Guzman, Herrera and Concha. From private letters we learn that the re volutionists call for the downfall of Baez and the appointment of General Cabral. The towns of Cibas, San Cristobal; Los JD:des, Santiago and two or three more had revolted, all headed by a certain Carlos Hedon, who, being encouraged by the Hay liens, were anxious to make war on the Do minicans and annex St. Domingo to Hayti. On the frontier there had been encounters between the troops of both countries. • President Baez, who in all this recognizes the hand of Garrard, bad sent a note invit ing him to establish a diplomatic negotiation between one Cabinet and the other, should Garrard be so disposed. A son-in-law of Baez, whom the Presi dent had sent to fight the insurgents, went over to their aide at the cry of "Down with Baez!" • Santiago de los Caballeros was in the power of the insurgents. A certain Del Monte and a priest sent to pacify therevolu tionists were made prisoners. Baez had given a blow to his enemies in San Cristobal, by defeating them and making one hundred and seventy prison ers, and he then sent some armed men to reinforce the frontier. Generals Echavarria and Curial, besides a private individual, were harbored by the British Consulate, although it was not stated why. They had applied for their passports to leave the country. The Tiempo of the 15th says:—Public order has nearly been restored. Govern ment has dictated certain measures to quell 'he movement, and on the 13th troops ar rived from Montegrande to garrison the place and sustain the actual government, The battalions of Seybo and other eastern points are expected every moment, and we believe that the insurrection which broke out in the jurisdiction of San Cristobal will be confined to that small section. There are men daily coming in from the revolutionary ranks, to which' they had been decoyed by surprise. They declare their submission to the government and their desire that order may be restored. Several merchants of Puerto Plata have suggested the expediency of the French steamer Caraibe coming to that port. Preparations for War in Austria—She Will Assume the Offensive if Hostilities Commence. • [Vienna (March 1?) Correspondence of the London Times.] Although the results of the Military Con ferences which have just been held here are kept from the knowledge of the public, it is a patent fact that preparations for war are being made M all parts of the empire. In order that there may be no unnecessary outlay, the men on furlough will be allowed to remain where they are until their ser vices are required, but they have received instructions to be prepared to join their re-, spective regiments at .a day's notice. It is not likely that a large army of observation will be posted in Bohemia, as considerable detachments of troops are being placed en 4chelon in the vicinity of the various rail way stations. The officers who had leave of absence have received orders to join their regiments immediately, and all of them seem to be eager for the approaching fray, though they are well aware that the Prus sian artillery is superior to their own. The Austrian cavalry is magnificent, and should an opportunity present itself, it will hardly fail to render good service. In Hungary very many remounts have been purchased for the artillery, and in various parts of the empire lists.have been made of the homes which are fit for warlike purposes. Should there be a war between. Austria and Prussia, general Von Benedek will corn The - title of the drama refers to the contagi ons influence of the dissolute manners of the dEty.—Pall Mall Gazette.

The imminent danger of a war with Prussia has led to such a panic that Government stock bearing five per cent. interest Was yesterday quoted at 5630. A day or two ago a member of the Diplomatic Corps asked M. Von Beke,the chief of a sec tion in the Finance Departnaent,hovr Austria could think of going to war without money. The reply to the ,uestion was, that as soon as a shot is fired Austria will be obliged to issue State notes (assignats),payable in Ber tin.of the nominal value of 50 or 100 millions of florins. The Vienna financiers are too de , pressed tobe able to appreciate M.Von Beke's wit. Count Larish, the Austrian Minister, of Finance, has • just received a proof that Prussia is also making preparation for war. The Count employed several Prussians in some coal mines which he has in Austrian Silesia, and a few days ago the men re ceived orders to return home immediately, in'order - that they might be enrolled in the army. It is here believed that the policy of Piussia in the Elbe Duchies would undergo a change if Count Bismark would quit office; but the German statesmen and diplomatists who, doubtless, are well informed on the subject, are not of the same opinion. They matntain that the Prussians, as a nation, wish for the annexation of Schleswig-Hol stein, and that a Liberal Cabinet would prove as unreasonable as a reactionary one. opinions and Statements of the German Press. The Vienna correspondence of the Augs burg Gazette says if one more proof were wanting that people are not deceived as to the gravity df the situation, it would be found in the confidential intimation given io the papers, in accordance with article 9 of the press h}w, to abstain from all com munications respecting the movements of troops, their strength, ez.c. No more fur loughs are granted in the army, even for a few days. The Debatte of Vienna says that the British Cabinet sent a dispatch to Berlin, pointing out in very strong terms the grave responsibility which would rest upon Prussia if that Power should provoke a war in Europe. The Augsburg Gazette pub lishes a dispatch from London, dated the 15th, announcing the same fact. The Nord Deutsche Gazette, on the other hand, denies that any such dispatch has been received in Berlin. The Journal of Frankfort, in its corre spondence from Vienna of the 14th of March, states that military arrangements of the greatest importance, and portending an im pending rupture between the two great Ger man Powers, have been adopted by Austria. In a few days, the writer says, you may ex pect to hear of the movement of a large Austrian force toward the Prussian frontier. From another source the same journal adds, that an order for the concentration of 100,000 troops on the frontiers of Silesia has already been from Vienna. The Cologne Gazette of the 15th says: "The situation is serious, and the tension between Austria and Prussia is rather in creasing than diminishing. The policy of Herr Von Bismark is more acceptable in high quarters that heretofore. General '3lanteuffel has deserted the section of the friends of Austria, and the military circles around the King incline to the side of the President of the Council. The ordinances relative to the plots of the Augnstenburg party is a grave symptom, as it may pos sibly give rise to a state of war. The diplo matists are busy in every court in Europe." The situation (says the Independence Belgdp has arrived at an extreme degree of tension, and although the alarming news which comes from Germany is not to be absolutely trusted, we cannot dissemble that the chances of a war between the two great German Powers, which the ministerial journal of Berlin recently declared to be absurd and impossible, seem to be greatly increased. 7 he Latest Rumors and Despatches. A Vienna telegram of the 19th states that declarations of a reassuring character had been received from Berlin by the Austrian Government, and that the apprehensions of war between the two Powers had been thereby removed. It is further stated that the Gastein Convention veil be adhered to. The Viennajournals state that it is the in tention of Austria to submit the question of the Duchies to the decision of the German Diet. It was rumored that Gen. Nianteuffel was shortly expected in Vienna with . a letter from the King of Prussia to the Emperor of Austria. The London Post, of March 21, says it has reason to believe that the telegraphic news to the effect that since Sunday declarations of a reassuring character have been received from Berlin by the Austrian Government, and that the apprehensions of war between the great German powers have been thereby removed, are totally incorrect. The rela tions between the two -powers continue on the contrary to be very critical. There was a panic at the Paris Bourse on the 19th, caused by rumors from Germany, which found expression in the following paragraph in the semi-official Pays: "Grave events seem to be in preparation in Germany. If the royal ordinance of March 11 shall be carried out in Holstein in spite of Austria, that conflict between the two great German Powers which so many incidents have tended to within the last few months may break out. The military pre parations on each side, and the language of the journals of the two countries, indicate a rupture as imminent."
