THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
■ 
FOREIGN. 
Escobedo, the Mexican general chiefly Impli¬ 
cated In the death of Maximilian, and who has 
lately been trying to effect a revolution In favor 
or Lerdo across the Rio Grande, has been captur¬ 
ed by the troops of Diaz, taken to Monteray and 
sentenced to death. A couple of weeks ago he 
Issued a pronunolamonto violently denouncing 
Diaz, and threatening him with Maxlmlllan'B fate 
should ho ever fall Into his hands, and according¬ 
ly he has but little right now to expect mercy 
from his captors. Gen. Mackenzie has crossed 
Into Mexico at the head of SOD men In pursuit of 
cattle thieves. A strong party from the Texas 
side of the Klo Grande have retaliated on Mexico 
by stealing a large number of cattle from the 
other side of the river. There Is doubtless a large 
number of men throughout Texas trying to em¬ 
broil this country In a war with Mexico In expec¬ 
tation of feathering their nests with the results 
of land and other speculations ns well as by the 
fat contracts that must then fall Into their greedy 
hands. Mauy emigrants from this country have 
lately been Induced to go to Brazil; but most of 
them are trying to get back by sending to their 
friends for money or by working their way on ship¬ 
board. They soon grow sick there, many of them 
die, the others get disgusted with the climate, 
the fare, the natives, broken promtses, and their 
own foolish expectations. 
Across the Atlantic lords Beaconslleld and Salis¬ 
bury have both been inude Knights of the Garter, 
In reward for their diplomatic services. Much 
dissatisfaction, however, exists among the ma¬ 
jority of Liberals at the responsibilities put upon 
England by the late treaty ; at DesraeU’s con¬ 
sent to Turkey’s dismemberment and his share 
in its spoliation; and at the Conservative triumph 
generally and the defeat, of the policy they them¬ 
selves advocated. Austria Is ready to cross the 
frontier Into Bosnia, although the Porto has not 
yet formally consented, and most of the Inhabit¬ 
ants oppose the movement. The republican 
party tn Italy are violently agitating tor the ces¬ 
sion by Austria to Italy of the southern part 
of the Tyrol about Trent, as well as of Trieste. 
Garibaldi has Just written a letter warmly ap¬ 
proving the popular demonstrations being made 
Id favor of the annexation. The Italian govern¬ 
ment Is opposed to the project; Austria disre¬ 
gards ft; and Bismarck says such a measure Is 
now and always will bo inconsistent with German 
Interests. The Russians are still negotiating for 
the purchase of fast vessels to be transformed into 
men-of-war, and people are naturally asking why 
so. Shumla has been evacuated by the Turks 
and occupied by the Russians: Varna is soon to 
share the same fate ; whereupon the Muscovites 
will retire rrom before Constantinople. Peace Is 
causing a brisker business and better times 
through most of Europe.
