ROCHESTER, N. Y., MAY 26, 1S5C. 
From Mexico. 
We have Mexican dates of May 7tb, by wbicb 
we learn it was reported, creditably, that Max¬ 
imilian had negotiated a loan in Europe. 
The correspondence with our Austrian Minis¬

of Austrian troops to Maximilian, was causing 
considerable discussion. 
A large quantity of arms shipped from New 
York hud arrived at Vera Cruz for the use of the 
Imperialists. 
Indecisive skirmishes were taking place daily 
throughout all parts of the country. 
Mr Bareda, who has just arrived in Washing¬ 
ton from Europe, briDgs information that 2,000 
Austrian troops have been shipped to Mexico 
since the determination to withdraw the French 
troops was made public/ He suspects from the 
date of the shipment, that the protest directed 
by Mr. Seward had already been made to the 
Austrian Government. 
Senor Romero, the Mexican minister at Wash¬ 
ington, has information that after a battle, the 
French have surrendered to the Liberal General 
Mendez, Jaunta, the only town held by them in 
the State of Tobaaco. 
Gen. Santa Anna’s professions of adherence 
to the Liberal cause are believed by the friends 
of President Juarez to be solely iu the interest 
of the French, who they say are seeking to get 
up some combination by which on the depar¬ 
ture of I Maximilian a new government, appa¬ 
rently Mexican, shall be. made to appear, with 
wlieh a treaty of peace can be concluded recog¬ 
nizing the claims put forward by France, and 
the loans which have been raised for Maximil¬ 
ian. »lt is said these plans are fully known to 
President Juarez and the Liberal leaders iu 
Mexico. 
The Mexican Legation at Washington express 
a hope that if Santa Anna reaches Chihuahua, 
he will be speedily hanged. 
The French troops were concentrating in 
Northern Mexico under Gen. Dowy, to unite 
with Mejia and disperse the guerrillas. 
Brownsville advices state that Escobado, with 
2,000 men, was in the neighborhood of Chihua¬ 
hua, preparing for an advance on Monteray.
