(From the Memorial Diplomatique. July 10.] We receive afflicting news from Mirmar. The Empress Charlotte, separated about a year ago from her husband, deprived during more than three months of all direct intelligences and after having become a prey since the departure of the French troops to the keenest emotions and most poignant anxieties, has just fallen into a moral prostration of the most alarming character. Her Majesty no longer seems to have any conscious ness of what isassing around her, and remains plunged in a gloomy reverie from which Dr. Illek has not for a moment been able to rouse her, not even when he anriounced the cruel event which wounds her so cruelly in her dearest .affections. The complete indifferencii with which the unfortunate Princess received that redoubt able blow but too well justifies the fear that science will now be powerless to save that fine tellec t. 'As Dr.,lllek had from the first made himself re sponsible tbr the cure of the Empress, Maximilian 1., who had placed all his confidence in,him, left him absolute master of the treatment/ to be fol lowed. For that reason neither the Austrian family nor the Court of Brussels ventured to in terfere in a matter so delicate. At the present time, the Emperor of Mexico having fallen under the murderous balls ,, of the Liberalists, the rights of the two families will naturally be substituted for the authority of the husband. With that ob ject the Queen of the Belgians has left Brussels to be present at the family council assembled at ,Salzburg, and thence her Majesty will proceed to Miramar. The medical men aro of opinion that. final-experiment ought to be made,- by transport lug the Princess Charlotte into the Midst of her youthful reminiscences ih the PalaceLeckcn. that step will, in fact, be adopted as soon as an assurance can be entertained that this long jour ney can be accomplished without aggravatiug the state of the august —A modest Frenchman has lately started a weekly in Paris, devoted to esthetic cookery, and calls it after his own name, "Le Bdron Erism 7 ."

I au * fl 1I 4 4 Worremoontlenee of ihe Philadelphia . rilyening . Bullettml nett's, Tuesday, July t, 1867,5-- - -One of the most picturesque and beautiful, if not the most mili tary or warlike-looking reviews, ever beheld in Paris, took place yesterday in honor of the Sultan. The event had been postpOned on account of the late tragic incident in Mexico. But the Emperor Napoleon was unwilling that his Eastern guest should depart without seeing a military spectacle on a larger scale than he is likely to witness in England, and so it was determined, rather sud denly, that the ,review 'should Come olf. The ground chosen was the Champs Mystics and the adjacent avenues, thus adding novelty to the usual attractions of such a spectacle; for I dd not remember to have ever before witnessed so large a - Nitylf - troops collected - together itithe - siiiia& locality. They began to march from their quar ters,_. about the middle of the day, and before three o'clock more than 40,660 men were massed On: the Grand Avenue of the Champs Elysties, be tweeu the Place de laConcorde and the Triumphal Arch, thence far away down the old Avenue de Neullly to,the entrance to the Bois de BoutOgne, and :along tße broad lines of the Avenues de l'lmpera trice, Eylau,Friedlarid;Wagram and other high-sounding names in the military annals of France. Not hieg could be more magnificent than this combi if, don at once of all the beauties of this most Leann: A of cities and its inhabitants, with the utmost !Junior of military pomp and =array. Imagine, fa:" as, the eye could reach, from the - central point of the grand Triumphal Arch, long lines of glittering light flashing to the extreme distance iu every direction beneath the beams of the bright sunshine. Down the Champs Elysf:es this splendid line was embowered on either side: by luxuriant foliage stretching far away to the gardens of the Tuileries and the Place tie la Con corde, with its sparkling, fountains. Every win dow and every haleony of the adjacent houses were crowded with elegantly dressed ladies,' wldle countless multitudes lined the sides of the avenues. Imagine all this, if you can, and you will under stand why I called this review - picturesque and beautiful, rather than -military. It was as though the army had only beenecalled Out to add yet another decoration to the surpass ing loveliness of the Capital, and rejoice with its citizens over the peace and splendor and beauty which reigned around. I certainly never beheld a fairer or more gorgeous sight. And when pre sently the Emperor and his staff, debouching from the Tuileries gardens on the Place de la Concorde, and then merging with the Sultan and • his-smte,_ passed along this .uneq'ualled combina tion of army; spectators, foliage, flowers, foun tains, architecture—the scene was complete, and Abdul Aziz . himself must have confessed that even the fervid imagery of Eastern poetry could scarcely have depicted anything more bright and fair, The Sultan himself was a most conspicuous figure, dressed in a uniform literally blazing, - with gold lace, and distinguished by his small lee, cap of brilliant scarlet. He rode one of the most Magnificent .speckled, or ilea-bitten, grey. Arabs that eye ever beheld. The 'animal's head, with Its eye of fire, and open, wide-spread nos tril, breathing speed and vigor and inexhausti ble endurance, Was a perfeet picture of purity of • race. And right worthy, too, the Sultan seemed of his beautiful steed, which he rode with the ease and grace of en aCtlOMpliSlied horaunan. I do not enter into details, because nothing that I could add in that respect would enable your, readers any better to realize the matchless scene. if they have failed to catch it in imaginatrOn froni the above brief description. I will only say that, in complhnent to the chief spectatiiie an unusually large body of Zouaves. Turcos and Algerian tirallegfes were among the troops called Out, whose snow-white turbans and swarthy fea tures contributed not a little to the general etthct of the vast assemblage. The Sultan is expecte) ! to leave fur England on Thursday. - The Presidents of the Senate and the Corps Legislatif have both addressed those bodies in ter ms of the strongest reprobation of the, ext.:en : thin of Maximilian; amidst the unanimous cheers , of their auditors. The degradation of Lopez from his rank in the Legion'of Honor was loudly de mantled, and the Council of the Order is now taking steps to have the name of the traitor ex- , punged -trait the list of its members. The J/e/r/cffe. in a seecnd article 'Of even greater severity than the one I recently mentioned, openly says that "to be' absorbed' by powerful neighbors" would now be only too good a fate for such a country uo Mexico, and for- a people who could tolerate such a chief as Juarez. The feeling I alluded to in my last, on this point, in- I m creases rather than diminishes, and has beene quite a popular impulse. Whee I was looking On at the review yesterday in the Champs Elysees, several. bands - of music passed before groups of people where I was standing without playing. "See !" they exclaimed, "theends are not allowed to play because every on is in mourning 0 (en df , oit) for cc tiaurre Jfaximiliaft!" The idea was scarcely warranted perhaps by fact; but it was generous, paying as it did poetic jus tice to the memory of a brave and unfortunate man, most cruelly dealt with, and showed how deeply the popular sentiment is engaged in his favor.

Afterward the affair recurred several times.

Our soldiers, as disciplined as they are brave,make war, thewmake it lit:raid :illy, and they judge it not. [ - Cheers from several benches. ; As regards the capitalists, we all de sired that they might be discouraged at that epoch; you did not go to them meanwhile, to solicit the aid of the authorities, placed between the alternations of a refusal or misery. Well, I have meditated profoundly on this affair, and my conviction, I tell you in all sincerity, is that its cause, its veritable eause, is the deftult of control in the organization of our Government. f vai-lou movements: Approbation on the left. ! This conviction will derive increased strength from the succinct examination of the facts which I intend to present to you in all sin cerity, with the proofs at hand. We are told that he e, I,eto recover-chi-yr-- ages for the losses suffered, by our countrymen, and of which it was - necessary to demand repa ration. We are told that it was not sufficient to procure for them an accidental satisfaction, a fleeting security; that we must, procure them a durable security; that to such end it was indis pensable to establish in Mexico a regular govern ment; that it was necessary to labor for her-re generation ; that there was there a great thought, a magnificent enterprise, and that to make it succeed it would be necessary only to persevere; that some one was discouraged in the Course of the enterprise, and that to this discouragement alone is due its failure. I enter into the facts. I will be as brief as possible; but that you may be able to grasp the enterprise in its entirety, and to appreciate ; it thoroughly, I must present you the' facts in their ensemble and their connection. . • AI - ter a few remarks on the ;early his.tory Oti• Meileo, 31.,,Thiers then spoke 'of the administra- • tion of President Juarez: . The man in whose hands the Mexican Govern ment men was;, and who had not yet ithprienesl on his name an indelible stain, that man, gentle men, President Juarez, gave some hopes., It was believed that. placed between the good and the had. tan bell - 1; yet under the yoke of hateful pas ions, he would perhaps incline toward the good. It was desired of him. He gave• one sign that inspired much hope—he had chosen for First Minister Gen. Doblado, who had been a man very favorably known throughout the entire country: who became successively Governor of Guanajuato. and Queretaro, and-who had caused order, security. and prosperity to reign in those Provinces. There was at that time a Minister of the ' United States, since dead, who has left in the country. the reputation of" a most re:spectable and sensible man, for if you read his despatches, which have been published. you will believe that very few mete have so ably foreseen events. Tins United 81ates Minister. Mr. Corwin, said to all the Euro peans: "The 'moment is opportune to obtain for Mexico a regular government—profit by it." Uri fortutia tely there was a redoubtable question,, • _ . . . yliat wa;the foreizn the re- volutions' the foreignera had Suffered: that was patural. Some of them had suffered severely; that was only too true Unfortunately there were some who made their sufferings, real or pre tended—uften pretended—a subject of speculation. All the despatches prove that. in effect, there was a' speculatiOn often odious. I will fur nish you one example : At the time of the ex pedition to San Juan de Ulloa. the French Go vernment had considerably reduced the demands of our countrymen; they had reduced them to € , e;moo,oon. Well, after t'h event, when at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there were to be dis- tritm tea3,o(lo,lioo, it was found that there were to be paid, really, only 3,0011,000. That left ~ ..1.4 1 e0,001 1 , which was afterwards employed to relieve other illfering . s. Mexico had, ' then, to pay enormous sums for the debts of which I have ?o lien. There was in the country ti sort of in surrection against all• demands of This kind. The in-going fiovernment was utterly without re sources. It &Mantled a delay for the regulation of the foreign debts. It was 'refused, and the rupture ensued. All sensible men at that epoch re , rretted the rupture; but the fact being con summated, it was necessary to recur to an act of vigor. England, France and Spain resolved. TIM Mexican emigrants, which the new . Gover nment had. voluntarily or involuntarily, induced to go to Europe, had sought to spread there their ideas. Weary, more weary than ail their coun trymen of the revolutions they had passed through, they desired the re-establishment of a monarchy with a European Prince at its ,head. 'lt is necessary, gentlemen, that you see fly certain proofs, what opinion clear minded men formed at that moment in Europe of a like thought. We have had very few docu ments published in France, but there' have been many and entirely authentic ones published in England, America and Spain. Ou this occasion, as on alr occasions when matters are broached that facet my country, I tOok care to inform my self' from all documents, and to read , them with extreme attention. The English Government had irreVocablv fixed on the line of conduct to .follow. It wauld not at any price mix itself up in the do mestic matters of the Mexican Government; it desired only an act of force having for its end the occupation ortte sea coast of Mexico, and an invitation to the Americans—for their -resistance was - - already—foreseen,--to . propose . that they contribute • to the . outer prise, always hi the measure of an act of force limited strictly to the coast. In Spain, where there was a moment of infatuation for distant expeditions, those opinions were soon settled. __There was ,then a man_olgreat _sense and _firth ness who governed Spain—Marshal O'llonnel. Permit me to 'quote you sonic lines that will prove what was the opinion formed at that time in Spain of this Mcpeditien. Marshal O'Dmitiel, addressing himself to the English Minister, Lord Crampton,used these words,which were intended for and reported to Earl ~.ituesell: `.`lty report of the combination in question (that was the one having for its • object the placing of an Austrian Prince on the throne of Mexico) it sufficed him to remind me of the opinion lie had expressed to me when the idea was advanced of conferring the sovereignty. of Mexico on. a Spanish prince.

M. Jules Favre—Of what date is that despatch? M. ThiersJarranry 30, 1962. Gentlemen : In France the ideas of the Mexican emigrants had met with more belief, and' the ideas they spread abroad were the following : Convinced that Mexico was fatigned—in this they were right— _that France was very popular in fir country— andit-Was-muela so-then—in-this they were-again right—they repeated without cessation that we bad only to appear, that the appearance of our fag, sustained by a few Frenchmen, wouldsuffice to provoke a revelution.inafavor of the • reestabs lishment of the monarchy. These same emigrants ' believed, almost madly, that the expensewould be a trifle, and that we Should even find in Mexico an immense wealth, capable of reim bursing all our efforts. At that epoch California had inflamed everybody's imagination, and peo ple went so far as to say that the Hiles of ',Cali fornia were as nothing compared with. the wealth hidden in Sinaloa and Sonora, and that France would And thch treasures sufficaen# to pay her debt. [Some laughter.] That was not all; it was necessary to choose a prince. Naturally, those princes' were excluded who belonged to the nations called upon to intervene. It was not possible, in effect, to crown as monarch of Mexico an English, French or Spanish prince; but, it was said, there is already one inditatedan Austrian prince. This was considered nit adreirable political combination. That was in isoio. a little after the war in Italy. A province—Lombardy-L-11nd. just been taken from Austria. There was now an enndre to give away, and it was desired to achieve the double, advantage of constitutiug Italy and satisfying Austria at the same time. Now having only to ap pear in order to find Immense treasures in Mexico to compensate our efforts; by tile same stroke • to constitute I talv and fully satisfy Austria—there, gentlemen, you have the three ideas that deter mined the expedition. And on that chimera—per mit me the word—we essayed to come to an• derstanding with the English Government; But that Government remained unmoved, and said: "Let those who wish to go to Mexico go there; as' or us. it`Would be contrary to all our prinel rpirs-issaneddle-in-thesiaternalsaffairs-of-Mexicoe.' We will associate ourselves only with an opera tion on the seacoast." They insisted on one side --they persisted on• the other: but it was neces sary to transact business, and then intervened the Convention of Oct. :ii, Which I will not read to yOus , -.1 desire to spare. your time and also to spare ray strength—but I would briefly recall to your notice its contents. It was expressly said in that Convention that we went to Mexico solely to exact reparation for the damages sus tained by the citizens of the three intervening nations; Oat we should not meddle with the do mestic government; that we should hold the coast-line only with a force sufficient to obtain justice. Only, as France had insisted that the • Convention should give a little more latitude to the generals called to act, there was inserted— you will see that I conceal notinue—a clause 'conceived thus: "The Commandants, of the al lied forces will be, in extreme casesz'authorized to accomplish the other operations that shall Is,llti judged. in their places, the most proper for realizing the end specified in the preamble of the I present Convention, and in particular to assure I the security of foreign residents." That clause, I which may appear equivocal, had been carefully explained - in all the negotiations. It was well understood that it was only provision to Our making casual operations, like those which have been executed in leaving Vera Cruz,where the sol diers would have died of hunger and pestilence if they had not been transported sonic distance to more healthy places. Yet, Once more, this clause docis not imply a march upon Mexico; but. in firie,we were so. pre-Oceupled With thiS eeterprise, so persuaded of its excellence, that in the instruc tions to Admiral Jurien tie la Gravieres—who, by the way, conducted himself' with great sagacity— it was said: The Government of the Emperor ad mits that, either to reach the Mexican Govern ment, or to milder more efficacious the coercion • exercised upon it by, taking possession of its ports, you may find yourself under the necessity of a mareb in the interior of the country, that should conduct, were it necessary, the allied • forces 'to the City of Mexico." I wish to add yet one more , fact to slow to you • what was at that tune the disposition of the Government: The French. Plenipotentiary was told that he mieht have to march on Mexico; and how many' men were given to him for that purpose ? Two thousand two hundred men. This plain fact nrovesto you just to What extent the ideas of the Mexican emigrants had been generally accepted. ' General Prim, who put peril at nothing, went straight to the Mexican camp. There he found Gen. Doblado, and had with him a frank and complete • explanation.' "What do you come to do here? asked Gen, Doblado. "If to impose qti us a government, count on the most obstinate resistance. But if you come to obtain justice for your countrymen, you shall have it, for we acknowledge our tault-in suspending payment of the European debt." Gen. Prim said. they would not meddle with the domestic government, but that' they could not remain where they were: Gen. Doblado replied that they might advance 30 leagues into the country, for the purpose of finding a healthy camping-ground. But Gen. Doblisdo 'said they wanted two things: First, that you shall render us the positions we voluntarily abandon; and, second, that to calm the excitemeut of the Mexi cans,- you will have the Mexican flag con dune to float beside the flags of England, France ..and Spain. These conditions were agreed to and they became' the substance and the whole of the convention of La Soledad, upon - Which subsequently so bid a con struction was put in Europe. The convention was signed on the 19th of February. Thanks to this convention, our troops as well as those of the English an - Spaniards could go to Orizaba. To shoiv what service was thus rendered to us, we only need refer to the. circumstance that as nothing had been taken along of the things ne cessary for great military marches, the roads were covered with dead bodies and soldiers dying by heat, fatigue and want ofprovisions. But how ever this may be, we arrived at Orizaba. If the Mexicans had not wished to treat with us—and it would have been absurd not to wish it when they were.iu the -face of the three greatest mariime powers Of 'Europe•-eif they did not wish to treat with us, sincerely, it would have been sufficient to blockade us in Vera Cruz, and they would have caused almost all of our men to die by hunger and disease. Having arrived at Orizaba, they tried 'to come' to - aw understanding-- , -not with General Doblado—to an understanding between the French, English and Spaniards as to the de mands.which were to' be presented. The English asked eighty millions—l am satisfied this wits grosalv—exaggerated. : --The —Spaniards a,asked - only 'forty millions. .As . regards us we had - obtained a second regtilatioloeg after 'the one which had 'followed the capture of the Fort of St. Juan de Moo; and in 185:3, an import-' ant sum had been conceded to. us. • Since then only seven yearS had elapsed; but although •it was only seven years, we asked sixty Millions. This Appeared to be a very large sem, but as the representatives did -not wish to criticise eaeh Other, the English and Spanish pleuipotenti'aries taid nothing.i I wish to call attention' to only W one point : When, in 186 h, they began to think of evacuating Mexico, and to treat with Maxi- Milian, we estimated ourselves the sum due to our countrymen at only 40,000,000, but in paper, money . , which at that time- did not 'represent more than 20,000,000 in coin. It ehoui.d be added that in these 20,000,000 were embraced the claims not only of the French creditors for whOm the Mexican expedition had been undertaken; .but also the claims of those who since the begin ning of thd expedition have had to suffer from • the events of the war, and that the claims-of the former are estimated at only one-third of the whole.. You FCC that, according to our own esti mate, 10,000,000 would havesulficed at that time; and if they had asked 20,000,000, or even 30,000;- 000,they-would certainly have received them; and this would have been an amount considerably exceeding what was due to our countrymen. Nevertheless nothing was said In the conference of Orizaba.against this demand of 60,000,000; the English and Spaniards only began to raise objec tion when the further debt was spoken of This• was a further addition:of 75,000,000, to the 200,- . 000,000 which was demanded by the three united nations. It was remarked, "Why demand from the Mexicans• three, or - four - years of their nrevenue-F-'---Thatis—an—impossible-and-exeessive— ', demand. However, not wishing to judge each other, the plenipotentiaries declared that they wished to refer the mutter to their Govern ments„, This was done immediately. While waiting for further - instructions ''from. Europe—they remained tit Orizabai when suddenly they learnhd that a new expe dition had arrived at Vera Cruz. This was a second French expedition, commanded by the gallant General Lorencez, and composed of four thousand and several hundred men, which was preceded by some of the leading -Mexican - emi grants, very honorable men, but full of illusions. They said publicly and almost officially, that they were instructed by the FrenCh Government to re-establish a monarchy in Mexico tinder an - Austrian Prince: Of course there was an'earnest remonstrance on thd part of the Pleni potentiaries who were at Orizaba:' The Spanish and English Plenipotentia rces said : In what position do you place us? Why, we have promised not to meddle with the interior administration of Mexico, and it was Only on this eondition that we re• eeived this healthy and well supplied camp. thanks to which the lives of our men have been saved. And, after having obtained this conces sion. upon the distinct promise that we should not meddle with the interior government of Mexico, four thousand and some hundreds Frenchmen arrive with the mission publicly avowed of re-establishing a monarchical govern ment in Mexico. 'Lieutenant General Sherman on Indian Canards. [From the 311aeouri Republican) IItADQUARTF:IIS MILITARY DIVISION or Tug Missoula, ST. Loris, P.M. Julyl9, IM7.—Editor _Republican—DEAr. The Erening Dispatch announces the capture of a train near Fort Lamed, on Sundaylait. by Indians, who are said to have killed all the Males, embracing - Bishop Lowry and some priests on the way to New Mex ico, and carried off the females. I left Fort Harker last Monday morning, at which time nothing of this sort was reported. General A. J. Smith is at. Fort Harker and would have reported :melt an event by telegraph had it occured six days ago. Fort Lamed Is about fifty-five miles southwest of Fort Harker and hai a good garrison, besides posts at Zara - and Plum,Creek between. The tri weekly stage to and from New Mexico passed regularly during my stay of ten days - at Fort. Harker prior to the date when this capture is re ported to have occurred, and many trains loaded with private and government freight had passed out during the same time, and all trains were in spected by an officer, to see if they were prop erlY equipped and guarded: I lived with the com manding officer, Colonel Hart, and did not hear. him refer to anv train going out with priests and nuns. - Nor is Lowry the name of the Bishop of Sante Fe. Besides, this telegram comes from New York, and is quoted from a Leavenworth paper, and I have letters and telegrams from .Leavenworth up to to-day without mention of any such occurrence. • The county has been shocked by so many ter rible accounts, fabricated for a purpose—such as the Fort Buford affair, the steamer Miner, and the killing of General Costar, all of which you now know to have been purely inventions—that I think journalists should endeavor to ascertain the truth-before shocking the public with such ter rible announcements. Of course, I can. not absolutely deny this re port ; but it has no semblance of truth when tested by the facts I have stated. Lours, W. T. SHERMAN, • Lieutenant-General. P. S.—The word Laramie is also used in the despatch, but Fort-Laramie is three hundred miles to the north or way road leading to Santa Fe; so that Lamed must be the post meant. The Rebuilding* of Portland. A late letter from Portland to the Ecenbzy Post SaVS.: • A year and a few days ago, some three hundred • and twenty acres of buildings in the beautiful city of l'Ortland, were destroyed by fire. Fiftten hundred lmildiugs were burned to the ground, and fifty-eight streets and eight miles of thorough fare became a vast field. ot calcined brick and ashes; ten thousand persons were left homeless; ten millions of property dissipated in the flames. The energies of a prosperous city were, for the moment, prostrated .and paralyzed. Vet a little more than twelve months afterWardS agrand surrcetion has occurred. All over the burnt district there have risen miles of new and beauti ful buildings. The City Hall has taken on more elegant lorms; bankin institutions have taken refuge in aubstantial buildings of granite and free-stone; and the thousand articles of trade are displayed in storehouses which are better than ever before adapted to the needs of commit:R. Altmg some of the streets there are temporary wooden buildings, which remind one of some of thy cities on the frontier, which rise in a night from the prairie; but these will soon be replaced by permanent and more costly structures. What a splendid triumph of human skill, energy and perseverance is this! There Is some very grand in this tenacity of purpose, this Unconquerable resolution, this triumph over disaster. It is a symbol of American enterprise. It is more than that, it is a striking exhibition of Yankee pluck. Merchants of the. city tell me that in three years they will not only make good to the taxable property the ten millions they lost on that night of sadness, but they will add largely to their wealth, and in every way they are setting themselves to that work.
