Tai Empress of the Faratcn may well be eager about the EMPIDOB.I3 return, on account of the Maxima question. Beaidea the difficulties of the came on the Mexican and French side, there are complications on the American side which Me:- perienced persons in Europe can scarcely be expected to understand, or at least to form a decided judgment on, for immediate action. It must be borne in mind, though we need not enlarge on it here, that the so-called MONROZ doctrine is now something very unlike what it was forty, thirty, and twenty years ago. It meant at first that the Government of the United Stake must watch over any action of European powers on the Western Continent which could involve the Republic in conflict with the States of the Old World. As the alienation e the Slave Stokes from the North, and from the principles and spirit of the Republic, proceeded, the words of Mr. Mowaos were perverted more and more to the purposes of the Slave Power. The annexation of Teas and the Maximus war made the ow dear. The South sweated territory, and stole Texas, where it introduced slavery after the Mexicans had abolished it throughout their country. The I aim end desire of the South grew with every see ress, till it took the form of an sasainption that Mexico would become a part of the United States whenever it should wait the South to extend slavery into it, and strengthen its own section against any new Free States which might be formed in the North. Of course this purpose involved a steady denial of all oppor tunity for the Mexicans to make friends in Europe, and for European powers to befriend or meal Norio°. Nobody but the United States was to meddle with Mexico ; and to engage the North to agree in this view great zeal was used in mag nifying the words and the assumed meaning of Mr. MONROE. We need not dwell on the disgraces which followed—on the success of the recruiting for soldiers, and fishing for money in the Northern States, on the facility with which the South en listed all the false patriotism that existed in the Free States, all the vanity and levity, the greed and the ignorance, the idleness and the vice that a mixed society in • half-hearted condition could supply, for the project of the Mexican war. Citizens who have seen what the war of the last four years is like may remember with disgust and horror the cam paign in Mexico with all its barbarous and de grading characteristics. All this is quite relevant to the question of to-day. Now that the exposure of the South is complete —now that the true his tory of the Mexican war begins to be understood throughout the country, the chances are leas than they ever were before that the name of a Mexican war should tempt the judgment and the feelings of rational and patriotic men. Whatever may be the opinions of the citizens about the Government of Mexico becoming that of hereditary monarchy, administered by Princes from Europe, all are likely to remember that a dangerous liberty would be given to the now humbled South by absorbing into the Republic the very territory which the Slave States have so long coveted, for traitorous pur poses of their own. There might be more surpris ing things in the development of the history of the next few years than that loyal republicans should consider the rule of the Emperor Maxi:KI LIAN more advantageous to the United States than a restoration of the Mexican republic, as affording the check to Southern faction which will be needed for some time to oome. This, however, is only speculation, warranted by theweakness of Mexican republicanism, and by every possible view of the relations between the new Mexican Government and any number or quality of Southern refugees who may take shelter under it ; but still, it is only speculation. The next consideration is far more substantially true, and of the utmost importance. That consideration is, the deep-rooted attach ment to France which exists in the whole society of the Republic, from every Secretary of State that has ever held office down to the lowest order of Irish immigrants. It would be easy for English people to ridicule or complain of the partial affection with which American citizens regard France and the French ; but there is something, not only impres sive, but very touching, in it. The French helped them to achieve their independence, and virtually guided them in the adoption of the principles of their polity ; and the thought of war with France has always had in it something so shocking to American sensibilities, that hitherto it has always been safe to prophesy, while any dispute was going on, that it would be pacifically mottled. Thirty years ago, when President Jacnson wore a very belligerent air in his rupture with King LOUIS PHILIPPE'S Government, only light-minded people believed that war would come of it. It is true there is the peculiarity in the present case, that the French people are believed to dislike the Mexican enterprise, and thus an attack on the new Im perial Government may be explained as not mean ing war with France ; but to set against this there is the popular or universal reluctance among Ame ricans to " gratify England," as they pot it, "by " quarrelling with France." On the whole, it may be considered doubtful whether any inducement abort of ouch actual outrage , inflict will, for generstillas great body of American . war with France. The Southern leaders, . disappointed, are In a mood of bitterness against the French Government for holding aloof from them in the day of their need, after encouraging their hopes and expectations in the day of their success ; but, iwain,,they think that, if there is any hope for them still, it is from the sympathy of French imperialism ; the rest of society throughout the country never relishes the thought of a serious and practical quarrel with France at any time; and at present has certainly no wish for war with anybody for some time to come. health. Now comes the question—who is to blame for this mismanagement, and the consequent waste of lives f It is distinctly told us by the ladies papers that the military authorities at )!]bow pro tested against the men being marched through the deadly jungle during the fiercest haat of the hot season, and at a time when cholera was rife all along the intended route of the troops. From what we gather, these protests were addressed to the headquarters of the army at Bombay, but were disregarded by that centre of authority. By whom were they thus disregarded f Not by Sir WILLIAM MANSFIELD, for he had previously left Western India to receive Sir Huai Hose and to take up his appointment as Commander-in-Chief in India. Not by Sir Rosser NATTER" who is to succeed Sir WILLIAM, for he is yet in London, and only goes out to his post by the next steamer. In India the complicated wheels of officialism are so singular and so difficult for Englishmen in England to understand, that civil authorities ars not infrequently found responsible for military blunders, and the military powers for civil failures. In the case before ns it seems next toimpossible that the " officialism" which we are told "disregarded" the protests of the military authorities at Mow could have been the present excellent Governor of Western India, Sir Rums FARR& That gentle man has far too much Indian experience, and far too much knowledge of the country, ever to indulge in that pride of office which would even chance the death of a single man rather than acknowledge itself to be in the wrong. No one knows better than Sir BARTLE that in all questions of climate, local disease, and such like, the local authorities in India ought to be consulted and de ferred to, even if at headquarters "a snub" is re ceived from a subordinate. Be that as it may, somebody must be to blame for this whole sale official homicide, for that is its right designa tion. At present we are able to give but an outline of the bare facts as they are reported by the newspapers of Western India ; all the accounts, we are bound to say, coincide very closely with each other. We should be curious to see whether the Horse Guards authorities display as much zeal in bringing the real culprits in this business to justice as they have been in compelling Colonel DAWKINS to retire because of his " an " gularity "in disposition. The wanton waste of thirty men's lives, sooner than that the authorities at Bombay headquarters should acknowledge themselves to be in the wrong, is something that cannot be passed over without inquiry, nor without thole who are found to be really in fault being visited with punishment. Tar Bombay Maid brings us news of one of those cases of military mismanagement which, in spited our improved administration in the army, crop up from time to time in every branch of the British service. On the II th of April last—s pe riod of the year when the hot winds are blowing their fiercest, and when no European ventures out of his house between sunrise and sunset unless compelled by the most urgent necessity—a party of one hundred European artillery men was or dered to march from Mhow to Kirkee, a distance of about three hundred and fifty miles. Through out the year, but more particularly during the season of the hot winds, " the Mhow jungles" I are celebrated as having by their deadly relearn's caused the death of many Englishmen who at different time have bean imprudent enough to sojourn in them for the purpose of sport. In addition to its fever-giving qualities, the road over which this detachment would have to march has always, at certain seasons, been one of the strong holds of the moat virulent Asiatic cholera. The village. along the road are generally, at the sewn when this detachment marched, entirely depopu- fated by this fearful scourge ; and to linger in the country at all—to halt night after night, se troops must do that can only get over ten or fifteen miles . . of ground every day—ia almost certain death to a European, except during four months of the year. These four months, it would seem, were allowed to pullover without tbe unfortunate detachment of artil lery being moved from Mhow. Had the men marched out of that aintonment in November, December, January, or the early pert of February, it is more than probable that they would have reached their destination without a greater than usual number of casualties taking place amongst them ; is it Wall, they were detained until April, and hence the fearful loss of life that took place before the troops had got over fifty miles of their journey. This unfortunate detachment consisted of men belonging to the Royal Artillery, who had, on the breaking up of a battery at ?dhow, been trans ferred to other batteries of the same arm. They were on their way to Kirkee, a small station within four miles of Poona, and, as if to make matters even worse than they would. have been otherwise, were accompanied by their families. Very shortly after leaving Mhow the cholera broko out amongst them'; and those who know what utter wretchedness it is to be even Soma of the morning papers publish a paragraph from which it would appear that President Jon-N -ewt had at length preferred a claim upon the English government to an indemnity for the de predations of the Alabama. We have season to believe that there is not the slightest foundation for the atetement. Questions will probably be asked on this subject in Parlia ment, when we have no doubt it will appear that the claim has neither been preferred nor with drawn, but stands precisely where Mr. LI/cc-out left it. slightly unwell in a camp that is obliged to move every day, can best understand the hardships which these unfortunate men, women, and children must have bad to endure, crowded as they were under tents which in the best of circumstances form but a very poor shelter against the sun, and which I during the scorching winds of the hottest season in one of the hottest countries in the world must have been, without any exaggeration, unendurable. When to the miseries of climate, of living during the hot winds " ander canvas " that was crowded with human beings, was added the scourge of Bejaia cholera in its worst form, and when the unfortunate soldiers saw nearly their whole number prostrate with the effects of man's most unrelenting enemy in the East, no wonder if, as we are told, they " lost all spirit, sod became panic-stricken." Nor was this the worst. When the disease was at its height, and when, by pushing on and crossing the Herbed& river, there was at any rate a chance of shaking off the spell of death that seemed to hover over the camp, by some order—given, we are not informed by whom—the detachment woe marched beck on Mhow, and thus taken again through the infected district where it had already lost so many victims. The details of this fearful plank are moot kitiabia to mad of. "The men of the " detachment," we are told by the Bombay Gazette, " were struck down surely and swiftly." Seven soldiers had to be buried in one grave. The women, their husbands, and their children, seemed equally liable to the attacks of cholera. In a very few hours men were deprived of their wives, wives became widows, children were made orphans, and parents became childless. In many instances both father and mother were carried off, and mere babes left utterly helpless. On the re turn march, as we are told, one poor fellow bad to peas the grave of his wife, who had died but a few hours before. Weakened as be ►as by I mental sorrow and physical suffering, the sight was too much for his reason. He De -1 came raving mad, and has ever since been utterly insane. The sergeant•major of the battery," who " was acknowledged to be a pattern non-commis -1" 'Mead officer," worked amongst his old comrades vigorously. His spirits, however, gave way as men dropped down dead on every aide of him, and the disease found him an easy victim. In no part of the world does a similar catastrophe happen to British soldiers or sailors, without there being more than one instance of inherent bravery, steadfastness and perseverance in duty shown. It was so during the fearful winter before Sebastopol, I while the mutiny was going on in India, and again at the burning of the Bombay line-of-battle ship. It would seem that on occasions like these Eugliahmen, to use a homely plume., "come out stronger" than everinall theirbestqualities. Sergeant-majorNotax —his name should not be forgotten—was an in stance of this indomitable courage under circum stances that would have rendered most men of other races either desperate or utterly hopeless and useless for any good. Nor does the tradi tional character of the English gentleman suffer any loss from the only two of that clam who bad to do with this fearful calamity. There appear to have been but two officers with the detachment, and they were quite young men. The name of one only is given, that of Lieutenant Hexer STIVINSON, but both are reported to have, as British officers almost invariably do, behaved most nobly. " Employing all their talents, and de " voting themselves to the sickening teak of mixing " up with dying men," these gentlemen stood firm to their duty, and by their conduct and manner did all that was possible to cheer the men, and try to infuse into them some of their own courage. But it was all in vain. It is well known that when cholera is about, nothing contributes so much to its ravages as the very fear of catching it Nor can we wonder, if amongst these hundred poor soldiers, living amidst the dead and the dying—their wives and little one falling hourly into premature graves—a terrible fear of the scourge was predominant, and this very dread hastened their deaths very greatly.

Upon this the church was fired, and " the whole command were either burned to death or were shot as they made their escape from the flames." Several smaller actions have resulted disastrously to the imperial forces. The country seems to have broken out afresh under the news of Northern victories and appeals from Juarez, which are circulated in all directiona. The French, however, have occupied Guaymas, in the Gulf of California, and are making rapid progress in the l i ` D` ,Aaupsir Northern departments.

It is from the Secretary of War of Juarez, wbo lays down the law of retaliation for the execution of liberal &oldie's taken by the imperial forces. The shooting of General Romero is to be met by the death of the French naval commander captured last winter by the liberals in Sinaloa, and this code of life for life is henceforth to be rigidly en forced. In addition to this, an appeal from the re publican President himself has been received. He exhorts the nation to remain constant to the sacred institutions of their country, and patiently abide the conclusion of the war in the United States. He says powerful succour is at band, and the downfall of the so-called empire cannot be far distant The policy of Juarez seems to be to maintain some show ' of authority within the limits of Mexico ; to never cross the boundary, and wait for aid from outside sources.

SPANISH FINANCE. --~ Yesterday afternoon, in the Senate, the Minister of Finance said :—" The moment has come to open the foreign money markets without appearing to yield to threats. The monetary crisis proceeds from the fact that the foreign capitalists have with drawn their capital from Spanish undertakings." In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, in reply to a ques tion put to him by a member, said that in the budget Turin had been designated as the residence of the Spanish Ambassador, because the court of King Victor Emmanuel was still in that city when the budget was drawn up. Nothing has as yet been decided by the Council of Ministers in reference to the future residence of the Ambassador. Re added that the salary of a Spanish ambassador to Francis 11. of Naples had been suppressed, tut that out of respect to the ex-King an attachd of the Spanish embassy at Rome would ful6l the duties of Spanish representative to that monarch.
