Sinclair to Schooner Arietes, from Tampico on the 27th, arrived at Brazos on the 30th. The captain reports that at the time he left a fight was furiously raging between Gomez, who pronounced against Juarez, and Pavon, sent by Juarez to subdue him. Gomez, there is no doubt, will be subdued. Canales is at Tula and quiet. S, May 31, 1867

Important from Mexico–The prisoners all treated as prisoners of war.

The empire is at an end; Maximilian and his whole army prisoners in the hands of the liberals. Notwithstanding all the rumors of massacres and shooting of prisoners, they have until now all been treated as prisoners of war. Maximilian himself is perfectly well treated, and seems to be perfectly satisfied. He was unwell for several days from an acute dysentery, but is now better, and is expected at San Luis shortly. Very likely he will come down here and cross into the United States.

The following additional news has been received from Queretaro:

Miramon was taken in the streets of the city on the morning of the battle, by a junior officer of Escobedo’s command. He tried to escape into a house, but was pursued and caught. Miramon resisted strongly, and the officer was compelled to use his arms. He shot him, wounding him slightly in the cheek.

Maximilian gave up his sword to Escobedo in person.

The following are the prisoners in the hands of the liberals: Maximilian, the emperor; Miramon, general-in-chief of the imperial army; Mejia, Castillo, Casanava, Gayon, Moreno, Olveira, Maximo Campos, about 500 chiefs or officers, and more than 8,000 men.

We extract the following from a single sheet entitled the Queretaro Boletin, published at Escobedo’s headquarters, of the 16th instant:

“The general of division, chief of the army of operation, to the citizens of the city of Quretaro, know ye:

“Article 1. Any persons having concealed a chief of the enemies of the republic will be obliged to denounce the same to these headquarters, or the military commander of the State.

“Art. 2. The same order is applicable to any one having arms, papers, ammunition, and other objects belonging to the enemy.

“Art. 3. The chiefs who will and fail to present themselves to the authorities mentioned in the foregoing articles, will be shot without any other necessary evidence than identification of their person.

“Art. 4. Persons concealing any chiefs or objects mentioned in the above articles, failing to report the same in the twenty-four hours following, will be tried in conformity to the laws.

“MARIANO ESCOBEDO.

“Headquarters before Queretaro, May 15, 1867.”

“The general of division commanding the army of operation, to the inhabitants of the city of Queretaro, know ye:

“Article 1. All soldiers or citizens committing any theft or violence in the city of Queretaro will be shot on the spot.

“MARIANO ESCOBEDO.

“Headquarters before Queretaro, May 15, 1857.”

Escobedo sent 15,000 men of his army to assist Diaz in besieging the capital.

By a courier from Tampico we are informed that some of the officers of Gomez had pronounced against him. A battle had commenced when the news of the fall of Queretaro was received. It put an end to the fighting.
