MEXICO.
The Juarez government has evacuated the city o( Mexico with the garrison of 20,000 men and all the armsand ammunition, and has gone to San Luis Polosi, believing that better resistauce tv the advance of the French could be made al that place than at Mexico. The leaders of the Church party afterwards tendered their allegiance to the French Emperor, which so exasperated the population that a division of French troops was seit into the city. General Bazuine then occupied the city, into which the general-in-chief made his entry on the 10th June, at the head of the array, and accom panied by the minister of France and General Almonte. This entry is described as a " tri umphul inarch in the midst of 200,000 inhabitants, uttering cheer 3 for the emperor, the empress, and French intervention." The municipality of Mexico handed over to General Forey, it is stated, the keys of the city in silver.
