Aug. 2.—The Queen of the Belgians, despite predictions to the contrary, had no difil culty whatever in persuading the ex-Empress of Mexico to leave Miramar. The unfortunate Charlotte, who supported the fatigue of the long Journey extremely well, is now at the Chateau of Tervuren, within half an hour's drive of BrusSels. Her brother, King Leopold, went to meet his wife and her at the station. Dr. Buelkens, the eminent Belgian physician in all cases of insanity, who has had extraordinary success in his profession, expects to cure her.

Reception of Prominent Junre2 in the Capital. (From the New York Herald.) City Or Mexico, July 16, 1867.—The Citizen. President received yesterday on his entrance into the capital of the Republic a grand ovation. By that gate through which the Americans first made their entry into the Halls of the. Montezumas, twenty years ago, came the fugitive - to deposit once more the principle of legality on the altars of his native.country. The military, the civilians, the leperos in force and the sexes, both fair and unfair, crowded to do honor to the representative of the nationality of Mexico. The fusee, or great drive,along which the imperial train used to sweep; where the Mexican aristocracy loved to plume their feathers, or vied in display of loyalty to the Emperor,whom they abandoned in his adversity; where French military sported - their insolence and mustaches, was filled by the republican sol diers and exiles who chose four years before to desert home and family rather than live under the bayonets of the empire. The speeches of the mu nicipal authorities and the answer of President Juarez uttered in welcome and reply, were per fumed with compliments and patriotism; but far less tiresome than those strained compositions generally are. Triumphal . arches spanned the streets from the statue of Charles Fourth to the outlet into the grand Plaza,- and as the guberna torial coreSge moved slowly through the throng, a Ehower of sonnets or bouquets rained froth above and quenched the Presideptial smiles. At the spot upon the great Plaza where a monu ment was designed to be reared by the Empress Carlota. was seated a provisional lady of plaster of Paris, IN Ph the right hand extending a crown of laurels, \ bile on the face of the pedestal whereon r posed the hu g e limbs of this figure of •ctory, beamed forth the words. -To the t. ,izen President, Benito Juarez, on the Triumpl. of the Republic. The State of Quere taro." Fruit, this spot to the Palace the procession moved on foot through a wide lane: formed by the countrymen. black, white and gray, of the - Indian Juarez, - who now entered the residence, over which was waving a flag symbolical of the "Empire and the Republic,' for the Mexican eagle was painted as crushing in his talons the imperial crown of Maximilian, and the "Na tional Palace . ' inclosed once more within its walls the President of the Republic. Save the vivas which formed part of the programnie and the peals of bells that &Owned the peevish bursting of the rockets cracking and whizzing around, the scene from its opening to its close passed in decorous silence. The Mexicans cannot - express in hurrahs their political emotions or enthusiiisrusflee institutions have notassured each man that lie will find in his neighbor in the crowd au echo of his warm, spontaneous feelings; or that sonic political enemy may not be noting his conduct, to be cited against liim as a crime at the next revolution or reverse of his party. The presidirat, municipal authorities,general's . and other dignitaries next partook of refreshments at: the expense of the people, while they were enter tained with the following ,roclarnatiou : Benito Juarez ! Contaitattonal Freaulent to(' the Mexican Republic.—MEXICANS: The national gov ernment returns to-day to establish its residetice. in the city of Mexico, which it left four years ago. It bore With it the resolution of never abandon ing.the performance or its duties, theinore sacred in proportion to The conflict the nation had to sustain. It went in the firm confidence that the 'CAC:in - people -Would struggle without cessa tion against the Iniquitous foreign - Invasion In defence of their rights and of their liberty: The government leftin order to continue to uphold the banner of the country as long as it might be uecessary, until the triumph of the holy cause of independence, and of the Institutions of the re put eshould be,consummated, The good sons of Mexice, battling akine,'Witti out the assistance of any one, without resources and without the necessary elements of war, have obtained it. They have shed 'their.,blood with sublime patriotism, and have been ready to make every sacrifice rather than consent to the loss of the republic and of liberty. In the name of a grateful country I pay the tribute of the highest acknowledgment to the good Mexicans and worthy leaders, who have de fended her, The triumph of their native hied, which has been the object of their noble aspira tions, will always be, their fairest title to glory and the best reward of their heroic exertions Filled with confidence in them, the government strove to comply with its duties without conceiv ing ever a single thought that it was lawfdl to im pair any of the rights of the nation. The govern ment has fulfilled the first of its duties by not con tracting abroad or at home any engagement which could wound the independence and sove reignty of the republic, the integrity of its terri tory or the respect due to the Constitution and the laws. Its enemies attempted to establish another goyerrr-lt : and other laws without having been able to consummate their criminal intent: After firer years the government returns to the City of Mexico with the balm& of the-Con- stitntion and with the same laws never having ceased to exist one single instant within the na tional territory. The government has neither wished, nor should it have allowed itself heretofore, and far less ought it in the hour of the complete triumph of the republic, to beinspired by any sentiment of passion toward those who have fought against It. Its duty has been, and yet is, to weigh the de mends of justice against considerations due to lenity. The moderation of its conduct, wherever it has resided, has demonstrated its desire to. temper; as far as possible, the rigor of justice, by reconciling clemency with the stern duty of leaving the \ Imre to act where they are indis pensable to secure the peace and future prosperity of the nation. Let us now bend all our efforts to obtain and consolidate the benefits of peace. Under its auspices the laws and the authorities will be ell-- dent for the protection of the rights of all the inhabitants of the republic. Let the people and the government respect always the rights of all— among indiViduals, as between nations, respect for the rights of another is peace. - Let us hope that all Mexicans, warned by a lengthened'and painful experience of the calami ties of war, may co-operate in future for the wel fare and prosperity of the nation, which can only he obtained by an invariable regard, for the laws and by an obedience to the authorities chosen by the people. • Ender our free institutions the Mexican people are the arbiters of their fate. With the sole pur pose of sustaining the cause of the people during' . the war, when they could not elect the executors of their will, it was my duty, in conformity with the spirit of the constitution, to retain the power they had conferred upon me. The struggle - ended, it becomes my duty to:convoke ilAnle diately the people, in order that without the pressure oft force and without illegal influences, they may elect, at entire liberty, him' to whom they shall choose to conede their destinies. Mexicans: on seeing re? the second time con summated the, independence of our native land, we have obtained to-day the highest good which we could desire. Let us co-opprato al, to be eu abled to bequeath to our children the surest course to prosperity, by lolling, and sustaining always our independence and our liberty. Mexico, July 15, 1867 untidy,.

Emperor in Prison—Danz/or of Travel lriim i loYico City to Queretaro.-Feeling.of the Monarch and Cruel Treatment of His Captors... Threats of the Liberal Generale to the Envoy. The Minister of Fordo Affairs of Belgium has received from M. Hoonckz, the Belgian Charge d'Affaires In the City of Mexico, a report, dated the 27th of June, which is published in the Brus sels Monitevr, in the following terms : Having been called to Queretaro by the unfor tunate Prince, I was compelled to disguise myself in order to get away from the City of Mexico. %, It took rub three days and three nights, a prey to the most painful anxiety, to accomplish the distance—sixty leagues to Queretaro; and on the sth of June I was permitted to enter the prison of the Capuchinas, where, in a cell sixteen feet square, the Emperor lay stretched upon his couch, under the eye of his guards. A dysentery and a liver disease of a serious character had prostrated him, and seemed to dispute with his jailers the work of putting an end to a life so se rene and calm in the midst of misfortune. • .His Majesty received me with marks of the fivellest satisfaction and . gratitude. During the twenty days of his imprisonment not a friendly soul had been able to come to him, when, at length, Baron de Magnus and myself, accom panied by his two counsel, arrived. Baron de Lago, Austrian Charge d'Affaires, and M. Curto passi,,the Italian Minister, came soon after. The representative of France was not able to get away from Mexico, in spite of all his efforts, but he charged M. Forest, French Consul at Mazat lan, to repair to Queretaro, and to leave nothing 111:1(1011C that was humanly .possible to save the Eniperor. I will riot describe the emotion I felt at seeing the tranquillity and resignation of his Majesty, who conversed with us as be used to do in the palace at Mexico. - Our first conversation lasted ''nearly two hours. " I have been betrayed, de ceived and plundered," said the Emperor several' times, in a tone of sadness, but without any feel ing of reproach, "and at length I have been sold for eleven reaux "—alluding to the treachery which surrendered the town that his Majesty so heroically defended for two months against 1.000 assailants. Then, with a smile, he repeated the words of the chivalrous monarch: "All is lost except honor." He spoke much, also, of Europe, of his family, of the King and Queen of the Bel _glans, and of the Count of Flandre. "I dare not write to my mother and to the Empress," be said, "for fear of causing pain to those two bings who are so dear to rne, and who have never, given me any; and then itwciuld be cruel to throw them into perplexities ; -.my confessor, besides, has written to prepare them." During this conversation the Emperor fre qnently - took my hand In his and expressed his gratitude to me for coming to him. As- a super fluous precaution his, guardians had that day sent awry his physician and his aid-de.camp. • - .-,-I offered to share his .captivity, if I-vomiter,. nilited,in Order to attend - tOtina. -He thanked me warmly. saying he had a half assurance that his doctor would be sent back, and that I could be more useful to him outside. I went daily for ten days to the Capuchinas and at each visit passed several hours with his Majesty. M. de Logo, M. 'Curtopassi and myself- went.in turn, in order.to. alleviate the solitude of- the august prisoner. M. de Magnus having received permission to go to Sun Luis, where Juarez was, remained only three days at queretaro, and M. Forest only - obtained leave once from General Escobedo to visit the Emperor, notwithstanding the desire of his Ma jesty. . All our remaining time was devoted •to efforts to save the life of • the unfortunate Prince. Couriers were sent off to all the Liberal generals whom we supposed likely to listen to the voice te e. of humanit -evrelik‘epssed with the counsel the line of ; .nce to be tai pted, while at San Luis, two sik er advocates, o aments of the Liberal party, D. Mariano Riva- alacios and D. Martinez de lu Torre, were endeav; ring with M. de Magnus to influence the supreme government. M. Dano had given me a great number of letters for persons belonging to the Liberal party, to whom he had been useful during the intervention; several of whom even owed him their lives. In the painful position in which circumstances placed the Minister of France he did everything that lay in iris power to second our efforts.:. The Eniperor, who learned this, charged me re peatedly to thank M. Dane warmly in his name. On the I.lth of June, a few hours before. the sentence was pronounced, as MM. do Lago i. Cur topassi, Forest and myself were proceeding to the court, a colonel stopped us in the street and took us to the general commanding in the State of Queretaro, who informed us that we had two hours to leave the town. The colonel gave us our passports, observing that "if we took it into our beads to return we should be shot.' No reason was given ter sending us away, and we .could only explain it by an excess of suspicion and distrust on the part of the authorities. But we were compelled to submit, and, with aching hearts, to abandon to a cruel solitude the un happy captive without even an opportunity of bidding him a'last farewell. On reaching the camp of General Porfirio Diaz, we received a final note from the Emperor, an nouncing the_death of the Empress (the report of which was in fact spread about), expressing his thanks. and at the same time his last wishes. - We were . anxious, however, to attempt one more effort with the leaders of thesarmy of the East to get them to support a petition for mercy which had been transmitted to San Luis by the counsel of the Emperor. Memorials with that object had already been addressed to Juarez; among others one from the 'artisans of San Luis and one from widows who had lost their husbands in the strug gle against the empire. " All was fruitless. Assasslna,tion_of Lopez, the Betrayer oN ItlaksiniilLain. WAsmscroN, Aug. 13.—A letter gives the fol lowing details of the assassination of Lopez, who betrayed Maximilian I arrived here to-day, and learned the startling news of the assassination of the traitor, Lopez. The particulars of the . assassination are as fol lows: Lopez was staying at a hotel in Puebla, where his wife spurned hint from her presence. Early oue morning a Mexican arrived, and familiarized himself with an ostler in a livery stable adjoining the hotel. General Miguel Lopez was inquired for, but not being in, the stranger was told that the General would beat din ner. efore the dinner hour Lopez returned, and was painted out to the stranger, who made special note of his man. When dinner was called, Lopez and his assassin occupied opposite seats at the table—after some minutes, during which time the stranger called for and drank a glass of wine, he deliberately rose, drew a con cealed knife / and sprang upon Lopez, and stabbed him nine times. The stranger then took his hat, and as he started to leiVve, said: "This IS the way all traitors should be pai .d " No one interfered or prevented the assassin from leaving. Thus was . the blood of. Maximilian, Miramon, Mojia, yes! and thousands of others avenged. MONUMENT TO "THE BRUCE."---FOT some time past an agitation has been going on in Dumfertn line for Me purpose, of erecting a monument to .."Ther,grifee." .

Opinions of the Prototr (From the Troy Whllo,l This action on the part of the President'. will, we predict, result In injury to himself and benefit to the deposed Secretary. Mr. Johnson has been hesitating, what course to pursue in the moner, but now that he has thrown down the gauntlet in BO decisive a manner, there can be no drawing hack. The conflict must result in an utter rout of one or the &her opposing parties; The pub lie will not be taken by surprise at this new phase of the difficulty—in fact, no - movement hy AD drew Johnson surprises any one. We aregettingt• used to his vagaries,and are content to leave himi to work out his own destiny. [From the Albany Evening Journal.] The appointment of Gen. Grant is a Jacobin trick, and marks the demagoguism of the whole transaction. The General is an army officer, and; as such, must obey the orders of his Commander in-Chief. When directed to assume charge of the Department, he could only escape compliance by resignation. That he sought the nomination, none who know him will believe. Bnt, in view of the popular feeling,. it is possible that thiskevent may prove disastrous in its results to hid' reputation. Is it not probable that the President and his ftlends have reckoned upon this, and that they hope, by identifying the favorite General with a condemned and decaying Administration, to weaken his influence? This was hinted several days ago; and the measures now taken certainly seem to indicate the , programme then outlined. How far this plot will be successful, depends upon the General himself. As an acting member of the Cabinet, he is not, bound to repress his views or curb his action. Should Mr. Johnson carry out his announced designs, by the remo val of Sheridan, Holt, and other officers against whom his enmity has been excited, Grint will be at liberty to enter his protest, and insist that the will of the people shall be respected by the support of those who are faithfully represent ing their interests. Failing to do this, he would destroy himself. We have confidence in hisgood judgment and his patriotism; but we are not with out fears that in a position where he is so peeuliarly subject alike to temptation and to mis representation, he may suffer in some measure a loss of that prestige which has heretofore attached to his name. (From the Albany Express.) At last the President acts. It was time that in self-respect he did. He. had threatened long enough. The &Getty, _indignant at his treachery,. was coming to laugh at his Bob-Acres kind of courage. To save himself from being the butt of ridicule, it was necessary that he should become the object of universal resentment. And that bad eminence he has attained by suspending Sec retary Stanton. He has wisely abstained from undertaking to remove the Secretary, but he has violated the spirit of the law, If not its letter, by his present act, as much as he world have done by removal; indeed, more so t for removal fre quently implies nothing more than political dif ferences, while suspension usually implies dere liction, and dereliction certainly cannot bo al leged against Mr. Stanton.. [From the Syraenao Staridardj The BecretarV retires with dignity. But what of Grant? Is his acceptance the long promised avowal of Republican principles which we have been looking tor? Is his presence in Johnson's Cabinet. theherald of that devotion to radicalism or which his especial friends make boast ? Is he stivrplyAiithe Cablttet•to control Johnson, or wilt Sebe controlled by - hinf?: His action - Way 1)e alr right; altifongb we can hardly excuse it even on the ground of obedience to orders, whigh may be his reason of acceptance. We think he should have taken the responsibility of disobeying an Illegal order. We wait for his explanation, whatever it may be. (From The Bolden Poet Stanton's conduct has been inconsistent, de ceptive, vindictive, and deeply injurious to the public welfare. His boorishness has passed for candor, his intrigue for fidelity, and his selfishness for patriotism. His illegal and arbitrary acts will rise in dread array before him, and the fear of re sponsibility for unauthorized and unjustifiable deeds of oppression and tyranny will make him tremble in every nerve of the body. The appointment of General Grant to the War Office must be gratifying to Congress, as they placed in his hands the es sential power of carrying into effect the Recon struction laws, while it cannot fail to be equally pleasing to the Radicals, who expressed great satisfaction that his authority was made superior to the President's will. We have no doubt the General will discharge his additional duties wisely and faithfully, and the country have reason to rejoice that the War Department has an honest soldier at its desk instead of a political change ling and partisan spy„ [Front the Hartford Courant.) - - Andrei/ Johnson rushes on to his fate! 4 - e, yesterday consummated the outrage of remtivJ ing the Secretary of War in direct violation of the law. There is little doubt that the House of Representatives will consider this deed a sufficient cause for impeachment, and will act accordingly. The fact that so popular a man as Gen. Grant is called upon to assume temporarily the duties of the office will neither blind the eyes of Con vess nor soften the verdict tof public opinion. The post will be given in the cud to some favorite of the President, who will use the whole power of the Department to thwart the will of the law making body in the matter of reconstruction. This is too plainly the ultimate object of the bold and illegal step which the Executive has taken, the consequence of which cannot but recoil on himself. By the removal of Secretary Stanton he has placed a weapon' In the hands of his enemies'which they will not:.fall..to use, and has done more to , `strengthen the growing sentiment in favor of his deposition than the speeches of the most ultra radicals could ever have effected. If this measure be followed up by any interference with the action of the military commanders at the South, the President will only make his final falimore sure. The recon struction of the South on the basis of political equality and national justice will be accom plished, even if - a thousand Andrew Johnsons Lave to be put out of the way. [From the National Intelligence]...] That Stanton should yield to "force" before it is manually applied, as his reply to the Presi dent's order shows he did,is not inconsistent with his well-known boisterous, but nerveless craven ness; but is inconsistent with the desperate te nacity of hisliold upon the office, which was t sole dignity left to hlWdishonored name. It was confidently predicted that when the hour of his disgrace should come, he would be found clinging to the door-posts of the War Department building with anvenergy proportioned to his horror of the open street without a military guard, and that his poor fingers, white with the. pinch of des perationt would have to be unclutched by the pollee. His friends will rejoice that his excessive affright impelled him to go without downright physical expulsion. • Death olt a Judge. WlLLl.otsvoler, Pa., August 13.—The Hon.

He was employed by the railroad company as a section hand at Plum , Creek,' and had, as previously I reported been sent to repair the telegraph line whereT was enti4ogether with five others, all employed , in the a etne rapacity with. Thompson. Upon , ar. ?diving at, the break In the -eelegraph, they were surprised'at finding ties laid upon the trbelt.. They immediately set to work to remove them, before the arrival of the freight-train due from. the east. They had barely commenced working, having previously, laid down their arms, when. the Indians, who were in ambush, sprang ti 9 and attacked them.. As it was dark; they had' but a slight Idea of thenumber of the enemy. The: Indiana uttered.the most unearthly yells, . and fired n shower . of arrows- and bullets on the white men. The men separated, flying In all directions. Thompson was followed in the darkness by a powerful Indian mounted on a pony, who, when within about ten feet, shot him, wounding him in the right arm, the ball passing through the fieshy part, neat- the shoulder, slant ing downward towards the elbow. This Indian then clubbed his rifle upon Thompson, seeing his victim still running, and knocked him down. He then dismounted and scalped him. He states that though the operation was extremely painful, he knew if he cried out the Indian would complete what ,he had but im perfectly done. ''f k hree of the men sought refuge at Willow Island Station, having made t ' heir escape in the darkness and. two were killed, it seems, as nothing has been heard from them since. Thompson, in the mean while, laid perfectly still. He could hear the In dians moving about, and placing more obstruc tions on the track. The train was heard ap proaching., at last, by a low, rumbling sound. By turning his head slowly around toward it he perceived the head-light. " Had the Indians, not been present, he might have been able to Warn them off, but they were so thick around, and so Close to him, that he could not have made one movement without being detected, which would undoubtedly have sealed his fate, without bene fiting: the train rushing to its destruction. Nearer and nearer sounded the loud thunder of the iron -horse, faster and faster the heart of the unwilling witness throbbed; his own excruciating sufferings were forgotten as the crisis ap proached. A loud crash, a rattling, jarring sound, as the ears were precipitated pell-mell on each other, an infernal chorus of yells from all sides, a few agonizing, piercing cries, and the murderous deed was+ done. As soon as every man found on the train had been despatched, the Indians' commenced break ing open the doors of the can with their toma hawks. They then threw out boxes of drygoods„ consisting of fancy silk and wersted shavrls, Laces, calicoes, linen domestics,• paper-collars, boots and shoes, blankets, hats, and one box of assorted ribbons. This. last seemed to take their fancy.greatly, as they decorated themselves with long pietes of-various , colors. -As-they galloped-- along they streamed behind, causing them to Took like May-Day mountebanks. The ponies were also decorated in every conceivable manner. Bundles of blankets were taken to the river bank. Kegs of whisky were taken out, and bungs knocked In, and, copious draughts, of the fire-water were drank in honor of the victory 'over the pale-faces and the "heap, heap wagon.' Toward morning the Indians set lire to the wreck, throwing fire from the furnace Inside the box-cars among the furniture. While their at- , tention was drawn toward the fire, Thompson crawled away, and came across his scalp which the Indian had carelessly dropped. With this scalp in his hand be arrived at Willow Island Stu lion exhausted from loss of blood. When the soldiers sent by Gen. Augur from Lone Tree Sta tion arrived at Plum Creek Thompson managed to send word that he was dive. H© presented a most horrible sight, the whole of the scalp cov ering the top of the head being torn away. The bone bf the skull was-exposed to view, present ing a surface nine inches in length and five in width,•extending from within one inch of the eyebrows to the occiput. The scalp was put in a pall of fresh water, and was sent with the man to Omaha, where the physicians will endeavor to sew it on. It is possible that, aided by a strong constitution, he may soon recover his former health and strength. _ Tt themselves on the truck tiniier th'e care; and while the In dians were engaged at the foremost end of the train scalping the engineer and firemen, they ran with the conductor toward the train corning up. The other facts are as before reported. JAVA. The Terrible Earthquake la tJu3 WE/Md. [From the Pall Mall Gazette.] We have received the Java papers of the 11th June, giving full particulars of a dreadful earth quake which occurred in the island on the•Mth. It was very- destructive in the Districts of Cheribon, Pekalongan, Banjoemas, Ba gelen, Sumarang, Djoltjdokarta and Bourn, kartu. The greater part of the indigo and sugar manufactories, private houses and military establishments arc destroyed at Djokjdo, but in other districts the damage was not so , exten sive. The losses, however are incalculable. The sugar crop, which had' just been brought into the barns, is totally lost. A large number of Europeans and natives perished—the report says as many as three hundred. It was feared also that other parts of Java might be visited by earthquakes; even at Batavia shocks. were felt on the day the mail started. The accounts of the rinderpest in Java are most distressing. In some districts the whole stock of buffaloes had died out, and great destitution and misery prevail; in deed, the general effect of the news brought by this mull is very painful. A MARVELLOUS TROTTER LL Paaus..—Gentlemen who havp recently returned from Paris bring bring news of a capital trotting-stallion, bred in France, and which is as groat a wonder as a natural trotter as ever was seen anywhere. The horse is brown, fifteen and a half hands high, and with one hip down. He is very nearly thorough-bred, and has a very long pedigree. He belongs to a wealthy nobleman. We have it from a capital horseman who saw him trot in the vicinity of Paris, that his speed is very great, and that he is the best breaker he has ever seen. The gentleman in question, with a friend, also an American, mea sured the ground the horse had trotted over, and found that his raw was 2.23. It was rough going, he was in a low-wheeled vehicle with very long shafts, and his driver was an artlliery soldier. He added that irlOo,ooo in gold had been offered for him by Mr. Howe, the • sewing -machinist, but money would not buy him. Taking these state ments to be correct, and we have no reason to suppose they are, unfounded, he -is a horse that unght, on otalcvci tracks, In one of our sulkies, and before one of our profeeelonal drivers, well contest the palm with Dexter himself. „,. •A'SVIILITARY RAILWAY.—The rruestan govern ment has just commissioned General Moltke, the chief organizer of the late campaign in Germany, to study the strategical plan of a now railway in Silesia.
