MEXICO.

New York, July 9.— The news almost daily received from Mexico continues to be of the most startling character. The carnival of blood is still kept up, and there is no telling when or where it is going to stop. President Juarez, by virtue of the ample powers conferred upon him, has issued a proclamation decreeing what shall be done with the various Imperial officers it is not his intention to have shot. He generously commutes their punishments in the following manner : — Generals of Division to be imprisoned seven years ; Brigadiers, six years; Colonels, five years ;, Majors, three years, and Captains one year, while Lieutenants and Sub-Lieutenants shallbesubject to the surveillance of the chief civil authority during one year. Already several of the Liberal Generals have fallen out with one another. In the State of Tamaulipas, Generals Gomez and Canales are raising trouble because* both want to pocket custom dues of the port of Tampico, in Western Jalisco. Generals Losado and Corona are fighting against each other. Losada refuses to recognize President Juarez, and Corona has b.en sent to bring him to terms, rather a hard matter, as Losada has 3000 armed Indians around him and controls all the territory from Barrancas down to the sea, and in Guerrero, the home of the Pintos, Generals Alvarez and Jimenez are waging active war against each other. The fact of the matter is, the Mexicans have now no general enemy to fight with, and axe returning to their normal condition — fighting among themselves. Santa Anna still remains a prisoner at Campeachy. It is stated that Juarez is the unanimous choice of the Mexican people for reelection to the Presidency, but that he will decline a re-nomination, because he does not wish to be prominent in the storm that he fears is about to overwhelm the country. Corlos Miramon, a brother of General Miramon, and General Marquez, who escaped from the City, of Mexico, are reported to be at the head of large commands in the interior, waiting for an opportunity to avenge the death of their leaders. The Austrian steamer Elizabeth is off the port of Vera Cruz, waiting for the body of Maximilian. The Mexican authorities, however, refuse to deliver it up. Tho Foreign Ministers in the City of Mexico are still unrecognised by the Liberal Government, and are waiting orders from their respective governments. All the foreign Consols have taken down their flags, not being recognized by the government, except the Consul of the United States.
