The following two tte latest despatches exchanged be t tween Franco and .Aniclica upon the question of Mexico : - - -L 4 M. ler 31.ttr e'l%-d.-st-It•rttat,tritttaititir r his Excellency President Johnson nas addressed to the Congress of the United States, of whichyouhave forwarded mo a copy. My attention has been more especially directed to the portions of this document which might bear upon questions interesting at once the policy of the Cabinet of Washington and ours. Mr. Johnson, in a passage which seems to allude to our expedition to Mexico, dwells upon considerations this is not the place to discuss, upon the vicissitudes of Monarchical and Republican constitutions in the two hemispheres. I will merely point out to you that the pursuit of our complaints against Mexico has no connection with the existence in that country of this or that form of government, and that it did not any more de pend upon a question of geography. If, at the time wo required just reparation for our fellow-subjects the Power which refused it had been a Monarchy, that circumstance would certainly not have caused us to abandon claiming our right ; and in whatever part of the world a nation might dwell which had injured French interests, the pro tection of the Emperor, due to all his subjects, would have been legitimately extended all the same. I cannot think that the Chief Magistrate of the Union has entertained an idea of raising doubts upon points so evident. " The same passage of the Presidential manifesto speaks of the provocation which would compel the American people to defend republicanism against foreign intervention ; of designs hostile to the form of Government of the United States;' and, lastly, of aggression upon the part of the European Powers.' 'We cannot f ee l ou rselves affected by these expressions, for th ey i n no way a pply to the poli c y we have followed. It would be superfluous to remind you that the sentiments of friendship testified by the Emperor towards the United States exclude every supposition of provocation or aggression upon our part. As for threat ening the form of Government that country has adopted, and which France herself has contributed to establish at the price of her blood, nothing could be more foreign than such an undertaking to the traditions and principles of the Imperial Government. " I see, therefore, nothing in the language of Mr. Johnson really of a nature to arouse uneasiness as to the duration of friendly relations between France and the United States, and if some ambiguity prevails in terms employed with re gard to the questions that preoccupy the two peoples, other portions of the Message, by settling the bearing of the President's words, happily dissipate all uncertainty. The placing of the Federal army upon a peace footing, and the considerable reduction of its cadres, at the same time with the diminution of the naval forces of the Union, prove the peaceful intentions of the Cabinet of Washington ; and the announcement of these measures by President Johnson is a pledge to us of the reciprocal confidence which must continue to animate our two Governments. "Receive, &c., (Signed) 6 ' DROUYN Da LIIUYS. " The Marquis de Montholon, Minister of Franco at Washington." "Paris, Jan. 9,186 G. M. le Marquis,—l had desired you, by the Emperor's order, to make known to the Cabinet of Washington the views of his Majesty's Government upon the affairs of Mexico, and confounably to my instructions you have brought to Mr. Seward's knowledge the despatch I had the honour to forward you on the 18th October. The Secretary of State replied to that despatch by a communi cation he was good enough to address to you on the Gth December, of which I think it necessary to recapitulate here the principal points. " According to Mr. Seward the presence of a foreign force on a country adjacent to the Union cannot but be a cause of uneasiness and disquiet. This state of things en tails upon the Federal Government inconvenient expenses, and may bring about collisions. The chief reason for the displeasure of the United States, however, is not the fact of there being a foreign army in Mexico, still less that the army is French. The Cabinet of Washington recognises the right of every sovereign nation to make war, provided the exercise of that right does not threaten the security and legitimate influence of the Union. But the French army has gone to Mexico to overthrow a national Republi can Government, and with the avowed object of establish ing upon its ruins a foreign Monarchical Government. Mr. Seward sets forth in this respect how much the people of the United States are attached to the institutions they have adopted, and repudiating all idea of propagandism in favour of those institutions, he claims for the various peoples of the New World the right of securing to them selves this form of Government according to their con venience. He would consider it inadmissible that Euro pean Powers should intervene in those countries with the idea of destroying the Republican form to substitute King doms and Empires in its stead. "' Having thus frankly defined our position,' adds Mr. Seward, submit the question to the judgment of France, while sincerely wishing that great nation may find it com patible with its true interests and its high honour to aban don the aggressive attitude it has taken up in Mexico.' "In concluding, Mr. Seward recals, as a reason for his hope of arriving at a happy solution, the ancient affection of the United States for France, and the value every American citizen has always attached to our friendship in past times and continues to attach to it in future. "I have not :gaud to oulant tins communication to tho I niperer, and after having maturely exami ne d th e consi -1 derations laid down by Mr. Seward, his Majesty's Govern ment remains convinced that the divergence of views be tween the two Cabinets is, above all, the result of an erroneous appreciation of our intentions. "Our expedition, I need hardly say, was not intended as hostile to the peoples of the New World, and assuredly still less to those of the Union. France cannot forget that she has contributed to establish them with her blood, and among the number of glorious recollections the old Mon archy bequeathed tons, there was not ono of which Napoleon I. was prouder, and which Napoleon 111. is less disposed to repudia If, on theoth er h an d, w e h a d been a c t ua t e d b y te le an idea o ill-will towards that Republic, would we have endeavou d from the beginning to obtain the assistance of the Federal Government, which, like ourselves, had claims to advance? Would we have observed neutrality in the great crisis the United States have passed through ? And now, would we be disposed, as we declare with the greatest frankness, to hasten as much as may be possible the time of recalling our troops. " Our only object has been to claim the satisfaction to which we had a right, by resorting to coercive measures after having exhausted all others. It is known how nume rous and legitimate were the demands of French subjects. `We took up arms in presence of a series of flagrant injuries and striking denials of justice. The complaints of the United States were certainly less numerous and less im portant when they, too, were induced some years ago to employ force against Mexico. " The French army did not bring Monarchical traditions upon Mexican soil in the folds of its flag. The Cabinet of Washington is not unaware that there have been for a cer tain number of years a considerable group of men in that country who, despairing of finding order under the condi tions of the system then existing, cherished the idea arc- t a h n e a y y thought to w h theich t i the e mhad one G oof the-late President s o f th a t R epu b lic, who had even offered to use his powe r . t o f avour t h e establishment of v ß e o r y n a n l e y n . t ofSeeing r e the a d d e g f a r e l l e e ,f re come to appeal to the sentiment of the nation, tired, like themselves, of the state of dissolution in which its _re- ' sources Were exhausted. We did not think we ought to discourage this last effort. of a powerful party whose origin is of prior date to ounexpedition, but faithful to the maxims of public right we hold in common with the United States, we declared that this question must bo referred solely to the suffrages of the Meilcan people. " The idea of the Emperor's Government was defined by his Majesty himself, ,inaletteraddressed to the commander in-chief of our army after the capture of Puebla Our object; you cre aware,' said the'Emperor, is not to impose upon the Mexicans a Government contrary to their wishes, nor to make our successes subserVe the triumph of any party. I desire that Mexice should be born into new life, and that, speedily regenerated' by a Government based upon the national will, upon the principles of order and progress, upon respect for the law of nations, she may re cognise by friendly relations that she owes to Franco her repose and her prosperity. " The Mexican people uttered its decision. -The Emperor Maximilian was summoned by the wish of the country. This Government appeared to us of a nature to bring about peace at home and good faith in international relations. We granted it our support. • _ WSwent, therefore, td Mexico to carry out the right of war-Which Mr. Seward fully admits that we possess, and not, byyirtue of a principle of intervention, upon which we profess tho same doctrine as the United States.• We wont there, not to make proselytes to .monarchy, but to obtain reparation and guarantees we were entitled to claim, and we support the Government founded with'the assent of the populations, because we expect from it the• satisfaction of our coMplaints, with indispensable securities for the future. "As we seek neither an exclusive interest nor the reali sation of an ambitious idea, our sincerest wish is tOlaiten as lnuch as possible the time when we shall be able, with security to our fello*-subjects and dignity to ourselves, to recal what remains in that country of the corps d'armee wo sent there., As' I informed yOu in the despatch to which Mr. Seward's .communication replies, it depends greatly upon the Federal Government to facilitate in this respect the accomplishment of its desire. The doctrine of the United States 'resting, like our own, upon the principle of the national will, is not incompatible with the existence of monarchical institutions; and President Johnson in his message, like Mr. Seward in his despatch, repudiates all idea of propagandism, even on the American Continent, in favour of republican institutions. The Cabinet of Wash ington entertains friendly relations with the Court of the Brazils, and it did not refume to enter into relations with preeectentmt — trie — MlTOMMhi s t ory of the Union, there: fore, creates a necessary antagonism between the United States and the system which in Mexico has replaced a Power which has continually and systematically violated its most positive obligations towards other nations. " Mr. Seward seems to make the Government of the Em peror Maximilian a twofold reproach as to the difficulties it meets with and the aid it borrows from foreign forces. But the resistance against which it has found itself compelled to struggle has no particular reference to the form of its institutions. It suffers the ordinary fate of new autho rities, and its chief misfortune is to have to endure the consequences of the disorders which have arisen under previous Governments. Which of those Governments, in fact, has not found armed competitors, and has enjoyed undisturbed authority in peace ? Revolts and intestinal wars were then the normal state of the country, and the opposition raised by some military chiefs to the establish ment of the Empire is only the natural consequence of the habits of want of discipline and anarchy of which the authorities to which it succeeds have been the victims. "As for the suppert the Mexican Government receives from our army, and which Belgian and Austrian volunteers give it also, no attack is thereby made upon the indepen dence of its resolutions, or upon the porfeet liberty of its acts. What State is there which has not had need of allies, either to constitute or to defend it ? And have not great Powers like France and England, for instance, almost constantly maintained foreign troops in their armies? When the United States fought for their emancipation, did the assistance given by France to their efforts prevent that great popular movement from being truly national ? Will any one say that the struggle against the South was not equally a national war because thousands of Irish and Germans fought under the Union flag ? It would be impossible, therefore, to dispute the character of the Mexican Govern ment, and to consider as a motive of dislike towards it, either the resistance it must conquer to consolidate itself, or the foreign troops who will have aided it to cause security and order to revive in a country so long and so deeply agitated. "Such an undertaking is assuredly worthy of being ap preciated by a nation so enlightened as the United States, especially calculated to reap advantage from it. In place of a country incessantly troubled, which has given them so ma ny subjects of complaint, and upon which they them selves have even been obliged to make war, they would find a pacified country, henceforth offering guarantees of security and vast outlets to their commerce. Far from in juring their rights or impairing their influence, it is they in especial whe ought to profit by the work of reorganisation being carried out in Mexico. "To sum up, M. le Marquis, the United States recognise the right we had to make war in Mexico ; upon the other hand, like them, we admit the principle of non-intervention. This twofold admission seems to me to offer the elements of an agreement. The right of making war which belongs, as Mr. Seward states, to every sovereign nation, implies the right of securing the results of war. We have not crossed the ocean solely with the intention of displaying our power and of inflicting chastisement upon the Mexican Government. After a series of useless reclamations, we must demand guarantees against the return of the violence from which our fellow-subjects have suffered so cruelly, and we cannot expect these guarantees from a Government whose bad faith we had so often experienced. We find them now in the establishment of a regular Power which shows itself disposed honestly to keep its engagements. Under these circumstances, we hope that the legitimate ob ject of our expedition will soon be attained ; and we are hastening to make arrangements with the Emperor Maxi milian which, while satisfying our interests and our dig nity, will allow us to consider the part of our army upon Mexican soil at an end. The Emperor has ordered me to write in this sense to his Minister in Mexico. "We return after that period to the principle of non-in tervention, and from the moment we accept it as our rule of conduct, our interest and honour require us to demand its equal application by all. Relying upon the equitable spirit of the Washington Cabinet, we expect from it the assurance that tho American people will conform to the law they in voke, by maintaining a strict neutrality with regard to Mexico. When you shall have informed me of the resolu tion of the American Government in this matter, I shall be in a position to acquaint you with the result of our negotia tion with the Emperor Maximilian for the return of our troops. " I request you to hand Mr. Seward a copy of this de spatch, in reply to his communication of the 6th December last, asking him to bring it to the knowledge of President Johnson ; and I rest with confidence for the examination of the arguments it contains upon the traditional sentiments recalled by the note of the Secretary of State of the Union.

It would have been easy for me in my turn to continue the correspondence by discuss ing his reply.. I did not consider it necessary to do so.

" DROUTX DR LurYs." " TICE MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS TO THE FRENCH MINISTER AT WASHINGTON. • " Paris, Jan. 25; 1866. " Monsieur le Marquis, 7 The American newspapers' bring us extracts from diplomatic documents published in the United States, in which are related some conversations that I have had with Mr. Bigelow on the subject of certain measures adopted by the Emperor Maximilian's Govern \ .ment. The observations of the United States Minister and my replies relate particularly to the decrees of the Mexican Government concerning the admission of blacks as colo nists, to the suppression of brigandage, and to the position in which the Iturbido family were placed. I have not the official and complete text of the American documents before me ; and it is, therefore, under the reservation of the ulte= rior reflections which they may suggest that I deem it ex pedient to define the sense of the explanations to which the questions I have just mentioned have given rise between Mr. Bigelow and myself. These explanations are, Besides, stated in the despatch which I had the honour to address to you on the 29th of November last, and I shall confine Jnyself, in my reference thereto, to reviewing that part of rtlia'desliateli relative tb thesb questions. " When the United States Minister Caine to acquaint me with the opinions of the Washington Cabinet, I had to state that 1 declined all official controversy upon the acts of a foreign Gcvernment, acting with full independence, and that I could only receive as simple information any com munication he might wish to make on the subject. " It would not become us, in fact, to accept tho respon sibility for resolutions emanating from the free initiative of the Mexican Government. To admit such a discussion would justify its being said, contrary to all our declarations and the attitude we have rigorously observed, that we consider ourselves invested in Mexico with sovereign rights. Now, the snpport we afford to'the Emperor Maximilian and the Mexican nation is precisely intended to aid them to consti tute, according to their wishes, an independent power re sponsible for its acts. This reservation was clearly esta blished, I observed to Mr. Bigelow in tho course of ordinary conversation, that the measures pointed out by him were of a purely administrative order, and did not appear to me to constitute any of those exceptional derogations from gene ral principles which may sometimes perhaps authorise a Government to intervene in the interior affairs of a neigh-. bouring country. Every State regulates as it thinks fit the admission of emigrants upon its territory, whether black or white, and the conditions of the colonisation of its soil. I is evident that these conditions, offered to strangers, only apply to the persons who have freely accepted them. So also the Mexican Government has only exercised a right incontestably belonging to it in declaring that in its eyes civil war no longer existed on its territory, and ceasing to recognise in wandering bands the character of belligerents it has promulgated against them the severe penalties which have been applied in every country for the suppression of brigandage. Still less, in my opinion, can it be questioned respecting an act assigning in the State a particular rank to a particular family. In any case the effect of these mea sures did not go beyond the Mexican fiontiers, and did not therefore appear to me to'constitute any grievance of which a foreign Government could complain. If, however, an opposite opinion should be entertained at Washington, I can understand that some uncertainty might be felt as to the means of causing the reclamations it might be thought proper to draw up to reach the right quarter. But, defini tively, because it does not suit the Federal Government to recognise the de facto Government of the Emperor Maxi milian as existing by right, and as, upon the other hand, it would seem to it ridiculous to address itself to the Power it considers as legal, but which has in fact disappeared, I .. __ could not admit as a consequence that there was ground for finding fault with us to escape embarrassment, and for de manding at our hands explanations of acts emanating from the sovereign authority of a foreignGovernment. — Receive, ctc., (Signed) "DROVICN nB LIM'S.

NORTHUMBERLAND. The magistrates of Northumberland seem deter mined not to allow cattle to proceed along the high ways of that county except by an order from the magistrates of the district in which their owners reside. On Saturday Robert Spearman, a farmer of Eastwick, was charged before the County Bench, in the Moot Hall, Newcastle-on-Tyne, with driving ten head of cattle between that place and Dalton on the 12th of January. He was fined £2O and costs. And three farmers' servants were charged with the like offence, and were fined smaller sums. There appears now to be no cattle disease in Northumber land, except at Mickley, near to Ilexham, and the farmers in the district have agreed to purchase the cattle upon the farm where it prevails and destroy them. NOTTINGHAMSHIRE (NORTH.) • A very influential meeting was held at the Town hall, Retford, on Saturday, for the purpose of adopt ing some more effective measures for arresting the cattle plague. The attendance was very large, and among those present were the Right Hon. Mr. Denison, M.P., Sir Thomas White, Earl Manvers, &c. Mr. Denison (who occupied the chair) said the only question was, should they let the plague go on, or endeavour by judicious measures to lessen its effects by forming an association, which he was going to propose on the same principle as the one formed in Aberdeenshire ? Since he had come there he had heard an objection to the measure that it was now too late ; if it had been done earlier it might have been of essential service. At the last meeting there, one of the speakers differed from the rest, and perhaps others might have changed their opinions. It had been said that Parliament would do something, and perhaps it might try, but if counties would do what they could within their ." - ` - '7'"" - - would show they were fully; to the question', and were doing all in their power to help themselves.. The principal features of the association no - W pro . - posed to be established were that all landlords and tenants should be members thereof, andshould pay id: in the pound on the agricultural:rental of their - •estates and farms, and that no ineniher shoult;te... liablefor any amount ` beyond the _KIM subscribed' by, titn. He Ny ould conclude 1)y moving that an association be formed in the, county of Nottingham Upon the same principles as the association which had been formed in Aberdeenshire. Earl Manvers, in a brief speech, seconded the resolution, which as carried with only one dissentient • ~~ _:~: • :4 WESTMORELAND. A P , On Saturday afternoon a large and influential `. meeting of farmers and others in Westmoreland was held at Appleby. - Vice-Admiral Russell Eliott presided, and strongly urged the formation of a cattle plague preventive association for the east and .west wards of 'Westmoreland. He moved a series of resolutions, of which the following were the most important : • That a general subscriptiori be at . puce opeod,- to - include landlords, tenants, and the public gene rally, raise ,a fund for the purpose of immediate „„ prevention and partial indemnity against the cattle / phigue in the cast and west wards of Westmore land._ That such fund shall be intrusted to the management of a central committee consisting of 15 'members, nine to be chosen by this Meeting, who are to elect six others, with a treasurer and paid secretary, and who shall have power to make such calls per centum upon subscribers according to the amount of their subscriptions as from time to tune May be deemed necessary till the Ist April, 1866, or till such time as the whole fund shall be exhausted, if such should unfortunately be the case before that date. That the central committee so constituted - shall nominate local committees in the several dis tricts, consisting of not less than two practical far mers, who shall be authorised on their own judg• ment (assisted bya professional opinion where neces sary) to purchase at three-fourths of the sterling value any animal infected or suspected of having taken the rinderpest, on condition of the owner thereof 'destroying and burying it instantly, at least 4ft. deep, with quicklime, and without skinning, opening, or mutilating the same, and as remote as possible-, from the approach of other cattle. " That while the association willpay threeourths - of the valuee - tci - itib - Sdribers, iris J upon the condition that the illness of the animal has been re ported immediately and without any delay to the nearest local committee. They will pay to non subscribers, or those subscribing less than 5 per cent. on the aggregate value of their cattle, averaged over head at £lO each, one moiety or half of such three fourths, or such other sum as the central committee may deem proper for the purpose of destroying the infected animal." ~: Another resolution provided that on April 1 the account should be closed, and the balance (if any) returned to the subscribers, in proportion to their subscriptions. The resolutions were adopted unani mously. A subscription list was then opened, which the chairman headed with £5OO on behalf of Sir R. Tufton, and £lOO on his own account. The sum of £1,736 was raised in the room. A Mutual Cattle Assurance Association established some weeks ago at Appleby has now insured stock to the value of £54,000. Westmoreland is now the only county en tirely free from the disease. YORKSHIRE (SOUTH-WES T RIDING). The number of cattle attacked by the disease in some parts of the southern division of the IVest Riding is exceedingly large, and everywhere there are indications that its ravages are dreaded. Some farmers have, as the only safe remedy, determined to shoot all their stock whenever the disease ap pears. Vaccination has been tried in many instances and failed, and the highest veterinary science has failed to check the spread of the disease. In the lower division of Strafforth and Tickhill calves seem to be particularly susceptible t o th e disease, and little short of half the cases that have come under the notice of the inspector, Mr. M. Stone, have been where calves have suffered. The mortality also is large. Since our last report for this petty sessional division 120 additional cases of the disease have transpired, and 60 deaths have followed. It has ex tended already to 17 townships, and still spreads. In the Rotherham and Barnsley district its attacks are but slight, but on the eastern side of Doncaster farmers are losing largely. There is, in fact, scarcely a village from that town to a point far into the Isle of Axholme that has not been visited by the plague. In Upper Os,goldcross 220 have died within a short time.
