Ir the Mexican Expedition was hateful to all honest and prudent minds in France before the 1 . brilliant debate began which, after a violett de- I clamation from the MINISTER of STATE, was I burled by the clamour of a complaisant majority, it will not become suddenly popular among the readers of the masterly and exhaustive speeches of M. TRIERS and M. Jetts Favez, the former of I whom almost surpassed himself on this occasion in all the richest and rarest qualities of the parlia mentary debater, in clearness, and fulness, and in- I cisive ease and simplicity of narration, in the I luminous and precise arrangement of his facts, I dates, and figures, in the statesmanlike compre hensiveness of his views, in the close and pressing force of his reasonings, in the calm, broad survey of responsibilities and results, and in a marvellous adroitness in unwinding all the tangled skein of an unjust and unnecessary war and an equivocal diplomacy. M. TRIERS addressed himself to the encounter like a man who is sure of his weapons and of his cause ; he tore a policy of bad faith and false pretences to shreds, threw flashes of searching light on the dark places of intrigue, with a shrewd playful wit that now glanced like a rapier, now probed like a scalpel. In fact, M. TRIERS convinced his bearers even against their will ; nothing was left for M. Jrxxs FAV•RE but to raise the argument to the height of great principles of morality and justice, after the clap-trap appeals of the Govern ment speakers to national vanity and]" glory." Liberal France, we rejoice to perceive, begins to love right and justice better than the splendour of barren conquests. It will be a happy day for Europe and the world when France is no longer taught by her Government that her " honour" is concerned in shedding the blood of a helpless people who presume to defend their independence against forty thousand of the finest troops of Europe. Our readers are perfectly familiar with all the circumstances of this disreputable expedition. The Governments of France, England, and Spain joined in an undertaking to secure satisfaction for outrages committed against their subjects resident in Mexico, and to obtain payment of long-standing debts, by seizing the principal Mexican porta, and laying an embargo on the customs dues. That expedition was solemnly and strictly limited, by the express terms cf a Convention between the three expeditionary Powers, to precise objects. France and Spaiu sent a small military force ; Spain, having the nearest point of departure, at Cuba, arrived first on the coast ; and the small com bined army lauded, by consent, under the command of the Spanish General ; the British force of 700 Marines only garrisoning the forts. A proclama tion was addressed to the Mexicans, by the representatives of the three Powers, defining their purpose, and promising not to interfere in the slightest degree in the political institutions of the country. Fever soon began to ravage the troops of the allies ; and the Mexican forme hemmed them closely in. liv a convention with the Mexican Coin mender the French and Spanish Generals were per mitted to remove their troops to the healthier table land, during negotiations; they were not in a condition to stir a step in advance. Then it was, while the representatives of the three Powers deliberated on their future plans, that it came out that the Minister of France had secret instructions of quite another tenour than the terms of the convention which, in common with his colleagues of Spain and England, he had signed. The Spanish General, a man of fiery honour and liberal feeling, and the British Com modore, with the instincts of his race and of his profession, at once refused pointblank to be par ties to a breach of faith and an act of dishonour, and even the gallant French Admiral thought and felt with hie brothers in arms. The forces of Spain and England embarked and mailed away. The French Admiral returned home. The French General and his diplomatic colleague re mained to carry out their secret orders. Such, in a few words, is the outset of the expedition from which England and Spain escaped with honour, and of which France herself, after victories which she will certainly not inscribe upon her tablets of glory, would at this moment rejoice to know the end. Nme TICE =PRESS, FRIDAY EvErnich ., JANUARY 29, 186 C: It was regrettable to find even ottnipunkively' independent French journals saying (Ist ne under compulsion) that England and Spain " deserted" their ally in saving their earn standing by their word, and refuldbg to desert truth and justice. Happily that absurd imputation is now sufilciently avenged out of the months of the most patriotic of Frenchmen. It is now declared in the French Chamber, and not denied, that while, or rather before, the French General was signing proclamations to the Mexican people, and declaring through pompous letters from the EMPEROR that they were not come to impose any change of government or to interfere with their institutions ; negotiations were going on between the Imperial Court and those refugees who had been the very authors of the atrocities and outrages which the French army went out to punish ; negotiations purporting to esta blish a monarchy in Mexico on the ruins of the con stitutional republic, and by the aid of French arms, and to present the Crown, under the auspices of the Emperor NAPOLEON, to the Archduke Maxtstuas of Austria. The Archduke himself had been sounded on the subject by one of the chiefs of those Mexican conspirators who bad covered their own country with blood and ruins. If our neighbours are astounded at these revels,- tions, they have only to look back to the year 1849, and to read the history of the beginnings of the French military intervention in the Papal States, and they will find that the precedent has been only too faithfully copied. In that instance the French troops arrived at Civita Vecchia with the moat friendly intentions towards the Romans, and in deed at their invitation, to aid them in preserving their independence against the Austrians. General OUDINOT dissembled the object of his expedition until he had ascertained the true state of Rome itself. He marched on Rome and was re pulsed, and then offered to treat with the Repub lican Government. M. DI Lun t. signed a convention which disarmed the apprehensions of the Romans, while reinforcements were on their way from France. As soon as these reinforce meets reached the French General, he refused to ratify the convention which be had agreed to, and after notifying. day for resuming hostilities, broke the armistice on the eve of its expiration, and attacked the city. After a desperate resistance, the city was taken, and ever since Rome remains a monument to the glory and good faith of thei conquerors. As at Rome, so in Mexico ; the Treaty of London, the Convention of Soledad, the Conferences of Orizaba, all declaring that no interference with Mexican institutions was in tended, and all serving as preliminaries to • war of conquest and occupation, to the destrvo- l tion of the constitutional government, and the subversion of the independence of the country by force of foreign and hostile arms. Now, we have faith enough in the French people to feel assured that they would gladly blot oat such pages as these from their annals. Yet this is what the statesmen of the Empire call wrapping freedom and civilization in their flag and carrying it round the world. They are now about to confer the privilege of universal suffrage, after the correct Imperial model, upon "the great centres of the "Mexican population," under the patronage and protection of forty thousand French bayonets. It is to the credit of the Liberal Opposition in the Corps Ugialatif that from first to last they have opposedthis disastrous and discreditable adventure ; they have compared it, with just indignation, to the assault of the monarchical coalition upon revo lutionary France ; and they are even more ashamed of its false pretences and its shameless bad faith than aghast at its ruinous and incal culable coat. • unit lITTILLICIFINCLE. TURIBLE CALAMITY IN CUILL ~ . • TWO THOUSAND LADIES BURNED TO DEATH. (uuni's raffia ) IN, Jaz. 29. The mail steamship Atrato, which arrived here this morning, brings intelligence of a most terrible calamity at Santiago, the capital of Chili. Since 1857, the year of the promulgation at Rome of the doctrine of the Immaculate Concep tion, the church of La Campania, in Santiago, has been the shrine of the devotion of a large number of ladies of that city during the time of the celebra tion, lasting from the Bth Nov. to the Bth Dec. On the evening of the latter day over 3,000 ladies and several hundred men had crowded into the church. The ladies were mostly young, and be longed to the higher classes of the capital. Twenty thousand lights in long festoons filled the church, which was also hung with drapery of every descrip tion. The service had hardly commenced when the crescent of lights at the foot of the image of the Virgin over the altar communicated fire to the drapery. The fire spread rapidly to all parts of the building, and a terrible scene of horror ensued. The congregation endeavoured to escape by the door, which was blocked up by the multitude out side. Most of the men escaped, but the ladies fell in all directions ; their arms were wrenched from their bodies, and the passage became a crumbed heap of mangled bodies. From the roof a rain of liquid fire poured on the people below, and in 15 minutes upwards of 2,000 ladies were blackened corpses. They were mostly of the richest families in Santiago. Upwards of 200 cartloads of burned corpses were removed from the ruins. THE WEER:INDIA - AND PACIFIC id AILS. SOUTHAMPTON, lan. 29. The Royal Mail steamship Atrato, with the above mails has arrived here. She brings 61 pas sengers, including the Confederate General Ma gruder, from the Southern States of America, on a mission to Paris. 3,777,636 dole. in specie, and 1,602 packages of cargo. The Atrato left St. Thomas on the 16th inst., having bean detained there 36 hours waiting for the Solent, which vessel experienced terrible weather from Colon. Business at Valparaiso was unchanged. Ex change wan quoted 430. to 44d. The news from Peru is unimportant. Exchange, 361 1 d. per dollar. It was expected that Masquera would gain his ob ject in Ecuador, the restoration of Colombia. The government of Ecuador was without men or money. The Guatemala Congress opened on the 10th December. The capital of Honduras had been removed to Gracias. In Salvador the agitation for convoking a Con stitutional Assembly and revising the old consti tution was increasing. The commercial news was unimportant. At Jamaica sugar realised 18s. to to 20s. for ordinary and 225. for fair. Coffee, 528. for ordinary. Exchange on London, 90 days' sight, 1} per cent. SANTO DOMINGO AND MEXICO. SOUTHAMPTON, JAN. 29. Advice. received here from Santo Domingo state that General Santana was indisposed, and had been temporarily relieved by General Antonio Allan, who had surrounded 500 insurgents in their camp at Guamuna. All the southern parte of Santo Domingo, as far as San Josb de los ?datoa, had surrendered to Spain, and were coupled by Spanish troops. Intelligence from Mexico announces that the troops under Juarez had been completely routed at San Luis and Morelia, by the Mexican forces under Marquez and Mejia. Juarez, with three servants, fled, pursued by the enemy. I rma PRIGHTFUL OCCURRENCE WITH THE LIONS AT rex AGRICULTURAL HALL.

The court was so closely packed that it would be impossible for another person to obtain admithice. The object of the Ai. t Master their lordshipe was to reveres a decision of the of the Rolls, by which he had directed a deed to be given up to the plaintiff for the purpose of being cancelled. The deed in question was executed by Mn. Broun in favour of Mr. Kennedy, and conveyed to him the reversion in fee of the Blria(9l estates expectant on the death of Mrs. Broun. Lord Justice Knight Brace said that during the years 1857, 1858, and the early part of 1859, the defendant with the professional adviser of Mn. Swinfen (the present plaintiff), and brought her affair, to • successful issue. The deed in gaseliers wee executed on the 10th of May, 1859, between Patience Swish's. and Charles Ram Kennedy, to whom, he having lo well conducted her affain, she wished to make adequate compensation. The deed samigned to him her estates in the neighbourhood of Lichfield, to the extent of 10,0001., subject to her life ioterest. That the deed wee • men gift there was no evidence to show, and sochacontreotooukl not be sustained between 'client and her professional adviser. Moreover, it wan drawn by Mr. Ken nedy himself. Apart from all considerations of public policy, he considered that the plaintiff bed reason to complain that she laboured under want of suffienot advice when this deed was executed. The deed itself was a great, substantial im propriety, front which the lady had a right to be delivered, and cos which could not be withheld without discredit to the administration of justice. Mr. Kennedy's appeal must therefore be dismissed with oasts. Lord Justice Tumor said he never entertained any doubt upon the point. To reverse the decree of the Master of the Rolls wmld be to unsettle a law which the best interests of society required should be strictly adhered to. There was nothing in the case which relieved Mr. Kennedy from the costa which public policy required to be attached to trans actions of this description. Appeal refused, with meta.

Mr. Searle appeared for the petitioner, the wife of a coach builder and miessonear in the south of London. She sooght a dimolution on account of his adultery and hie desertion of her. They bad been married nom 1833, sod there were sir children living. In 1R44 the respondent had formed an adulterous (=notion with soother woman, and he placed one of his boys with her. The petitioner fetched him away ; bet the respondent told her that unless she let the child go back he would leave her. She refused, and be west away. Sbe did not bear anything of him again for seven years. She then diicovered that he was in business at Truro. In answer to • letter which she wrote to him, he pasted an envelope to her, inclosiog half • sore. raga. She then sent him a son and • daughter, and ulti mately went to him herself ; hot the interview did not lead to any reconciliation. The case was adjourned for formal proof of the marriage. _ _ GRRMANY AND DENMARK. The Paris Presse of to-day says :—" Aooording to information which we believe to be correct, the ambassadors of France and England made corn municstions to Count Reeliberg on the 20th inst., tending to the suppression of the measures in the direction of execution. Count de Reohberg limited himself to replying that the Austro-Prussian troops would occupy Holstein, and that immediately after this occupation the two German powers would notify their ultimatum to the Danish government. The representatives of France and England demanded at once whether Austria and Prussia would proceed to the occupation of Sleswig in case Denmark should undertake to abrogate the constitution by consti tutional means. To this question Count Rechberg has not thought himself able to give a categorical answer." The continental journals continue to state that France has declined to intervene at present in any other way than by her counsels. The Times thus endeavours to explain the policy of France: We believe we may state that there is no difference of opinion between Prance, Russia, and England. With regard to the funk Power, the Emperor assents to all the repre sentations we have made is favour of pros. He upholds the Treaty at 1852, which recognhaes the succession Si Christian IX. in the duchies, acid thinks that all the legiti mate requirements of Germany could be obtained without any breach of that solemn arrangement. Bet it is the opinion of the Emperor, and in this we must agree with him, that say active participation in the dispute might place him in a difficult position. Though interference in a foreign quarrels most distasteful to the people of this country, yet it can hardly be doubted that any hostile demonstra tion of England spinet the German powers would be much lens dangerous in its nature than • collision be tween France and two first-class military monarchies. We might, if we chose to interfere, blockade the German ports with • few ships, and send • force to Sleswig, and yet the war would remain entirely local. But if France were to become engaged with Prussia and Austria it would at once be • question of 300,000 men on the Rhine, and perhaps an outburst of French ambition which would make Europe regret the assistance it had invoked. It is quite natural, then, that the French government, reeiog the momentous consequences that might follow from any movement on its own part, should desire to limit He action to padific representations. It may, indeed, be that if the war go on, • time will come when Franz.) may had matters sufficiently advanced for her to draw the sword in pursuit of her own ends, but at present she care fully avoids seeming to grasp at an opportunity for threatening her neighbours. But not the lean does the Emperor's government make known its opinions and sym pathies, and thole should have due weight on the two powers which are engaged on this most imprudent enter prise. Russia is too much employed on her own domestic disturbances to do more than loin England in friendly re monstrances, but even these from • power as conservative as themselves should have as much influence on Namibia governments as angry DOW and ultimatums. THE OCCUPATION OF MEXICO. The &Me of to-day, in commenting on the debate in the Legislative Corps, says :—" Our opinion, which without doubt is that of many of our deputies, and in which our readers will partici pate, is that after such a brilliant discussion, in which the members of the opposition have pre sented the question so well, it is impossible that France can give any guarantee whatever to the Archduke Maximilian. If he goes to Mexico it will be at his own risk and peril, at the demand and the expense of the Mexican popula tion. From the time that be is proclaimed in the capital of his new empire, France will recal the valiant troops which at Palmas, at the Cumbrie, at Fort San Xavier, at Puebla, at Zara poaxtla, have sustained with so much t , cltit the honour of our flag. It was impossible for the Minister of State to indicate in a precise manner the period of their return, but it may be inferred from all his words that the government will yield to the wishes of the majority of the country, and that this onerous expedition will have the nearest termination that is possible." TURKEY. The Levant Herald of the 20th says :—" The complicated and unsettled condition of European affairs is inducing the government to put the mili tary and naval departments of the empire in the moat efficient order, and, amongst other things, they are directing their special attention to the de fences of the Danube, upon all of which engineers and artificers are at present busily engaged."

Inn on ow:, PARIS. THURSDAY EVIMING. The Pays professes to have some " private, precise, and very recent" information about the dispositions of the " English people ;" and to judge by the tone of the Pays, which is precisely that of the Constitutionnel, for some days past, one might almost fancy that a notion is entertained here of making a French appel au peuple in England against the government of that country. Here is the text of the very important and private informa tion which the Pays solemnly says will "entirely enlighten the French public as to the state of men's minds on the English side of the Channel:" The English people highly disapproves, as we stated yes terday, the vague and illogical policy of Load RuselL The English people, whale good sense and right reason sere well known, is fully persuaded that an understanding with France is the sweet means of preserving Europe from war— were it merely a local one. Finally, the English people, notwithstanding the rapidity with which events seem to march, m►intains a confident belief that this understanding will be established. There is just one little circumstance which leads me to doubt whether the Pays' London correspon dent can be such a very well-informed person as he is represented to be. In yesterday's number of that journal the same correspondent quoted, as events of sensational importance, the matter-of-course parliamentary circulars issued by Lord Palmer ston and Mr. Disraeli to their respective friends, asking them to be in their places on the first day of the session. There was a great row at the end of the Mexican debate in consequence of the majority refusing to great the old parliamentary privilege of the oppo sition to have the last word against a minister. M. Thiers cried out vehemently, " You are deter mined to hide the truth." The Bourse was depressed. A rumour of Lord Russell's resignation was circulated. Rente fell 23c. and 15c. The Daily News is seiud. At the select ball given by the Empress Engdnie in her private apartments at the Tuileries at the beginning of the week, her Majesty wore a white dress shot with gold, and with gold fringe at the bottom of the skirt and at the upper part of the comae. A belt of gold encircled her waist. Her head-dress was in green velvet, orna mented with diamonds and emeralds, and the neck lace formed of several rows of pearls with drops of emeralds. The Princeton Clothilde wore a blue dress, trimmed with line and looped up with bows of crimson velvet. The Princes Mathilde was in white and black ; the Countess Walewaka in lilac and white ; the Dachas' de Matey, in pink ; and the Countess de Pourtal.s, in blue, with a veil of blue gauze forming a turban, and fastened on the front of the head by an orna ment of precious stones. Mdme. Fleury was in white, black, and gold, and wore a headdress of an original kind. ♦ plate of dead gold came forward from the comb and advanced so far so the forehead. Golignani of yesterday says :—" As the Empress was, the afternoon before last, returning to the Tuileries in carriage draws by four horses, one of the leaders fell on the Piers de la Concorde, and broke its knees.

The audience was also a good one, and very enthusiastic. The re. solusioas were in favour of recognising the Pals as belligerents, of giving the imamate the moral support of the nation, and of siding them materially so far es was consistent with the laws of the country.

The lecture for this evening, the 29th inst., will be upon Static Electricity and the Phe nomena of the Leyden Battery ; and that for the following day on Dynamic Electricity and the effects due to the voltaic current. We have reason to believe that the late Prince Consort, whose claims to scientific reputation are generally underrated rather than the contrary, was par ticularly interested in electrical science ; and we are glad to perceive that her Majesty has thus given to her family the opportunity of acquiring the Mat principles of this Important branch of natural philosophy.— The Electrician.
