The magistrates of Northumberland seem dar- 11 S 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 fanner 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.

The following are the latest despatches exchanged be tween France and America upon the question of Mexico : " Paris, Dec. 26, 1865. "M. le Marquis,—l have road with interest the Message his Exealenuy Presidutat Johuguott_..has .. ,4odreeiged to the me 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 IZepublicau 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 we 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 canna 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 feel ourselves affected by these expressions, for they in no way apply to the policy 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 bo more foreign than such an undertaking to the traditions and principles of the Imperial Government. 4 ; 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 placing of the Federal army upon a peace f oot i ng, an d th e President's words, happily dissipate all uncertainty. 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) "DROUYN DE LHUYS. " The Marquis de Montholon, Minister of Franco at Washington." "Paris, Jan. 9, 1866. M. lo 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 conformably 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 6th 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 loss 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 inadmissable 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, 'I 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 failed to submit this communication to the Emperor, and after having maturely examined the consi 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 loss 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 one of which Napoleon I. was prouder, and which Napoleon 111. is less disposed to repudiate. If, on the other hand, we had been actuated by an idea o ill-will towards that Republic, would we have endeavouied 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 wo 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 seriesof 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- system then existing, cherished the idea of re ,turning to Monarchy. Their opinions hail been shared by one of the late Presidents of that Republic, who had even offered to use his power to favour the establishment of Royalty. Seeing the degree of anarchy to which the Go vernment of Juarez had fallen, they•thought the time had 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 our expedition, but faithful to the maxims of public right we hold in common with the United States, we declared that this question must be referred solely to the suffrages of the Mexican people. " The idea of the Emperor's Government was defined by his Majesty himself in a letter addressed to the commander in-chief of our army after the capture of Puebla Our object, you are 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 Mexico 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 France 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. " We went, therefore, to Mexico to carry out the right of war which Mr. Seward fully admits that we possess, and not by virtue of a principle of intervention, upon which we profess the same doctrine as_the United States. We went there, not to mako 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 pppulations, 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 to hasten as much as possible the time when we shall be able, with security to our follow-subjects and dignity to ourselves, to rec.Al what remains in that country of the corps d'arinde we 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. Tho 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 refuse to enter into relations with the Mexican Empire in 1822. No fundamental maxim, no precedent of the diplomatic history of the Union, there fore creetes,a necessary antagonism between the .I'nited 13f.aTes and the system which in 31fe - ireo has rep/rifle - Li' It 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 ft 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 now 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 support 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 perfect 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 effortsprevent 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 many 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 who 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 cannotexpect 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 the 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.

" Sir,—l have had the honour to receive your Excel lency's communication dated the 15th inst., relative to cer tain decrees recently promulgated in Mexico upon the subject of immigration and colonisation. Your Excellency refuses all explanation of the inadmissible passages of ono of these decrees, to which I had the honour to call your attention in a note of the 22d Nev. last, upon the plea that they relate to measures of internal administration with which the Emperor's Government had nothing to do. "Although the line separating the responsibility of the Imperial Government from that of the political organisa tion it has planted in Mexico is traced with some indistinct ness, 1 am certain my Government will learn with satisfac tion that France, which was one of the first Powers to hold up slavery to the execration of mankind, declines all re sponsibility as to the attempt (although made under the protection of her flag) to re-establish that institution in a country which had expressly stigmatised and abolished it. " I take this opportunity, &c., (Signed) " Jolts BIGELOW." "'TIE MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS TO THE FRENCII MINISTER AT WASHINGTON. " J. 25, 18CO. ' --" Meii - sietrr loltarquis,—Tbe Ur,Ma' ntitteet sired that the communication which ho made to me of the Attorney-General's letter to Mr. Seward, relative to the decrees of the Emperor Maximilian concerning immigra tion and colonisation in Mexico, should bo acknowledged in writing. I consequently addressed such an acknowledg ment to Mr. Bigelow. He replied thereto by the letter of which a copy is appended. 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. I confined myself, in the verbal explanations which I bad on this subject with the United States Minister, to dwell ing upon two points which I could not allow to pass with out observation. I said first to him that I did not admit the expression/Wanted, applied to the part taken by the French Government in the events which have modified the politi cal system in Mexico. He was sufficiently acquainted with the causes which led us to that country to render it unnecessary tor me to revert to them ; and as to the pre sent organisation of that State, the Mexican people had themselves settled it according to their wishes and interests. "In the second place, I observed to the United States Minister that I had declined all discussion with him upon the decrees of the Emperor Maximilian, in our interview and that he was not therefore justified in attributing to me; any opinion whatever upon the subject, as he appeared to do in the last sentence in his letter. I added that if he, howeVer, wished to know my manner of viewing the ques tion, I did not hesitate to say that the measures of the Emperor Maximilian so strongly incriminated had not, in our opinion, the character and object attributed to them. It appeared to me advisable that you'should not be ignorant of the manner in which this incident terminated.—Receive, &c., (Signed) " DROUYN DE LILVYS." " THE MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS TO THE FRENCH MINISTER AT WASHINGTON. I ,' Paris, Jan. 25, 1866. " Monsieur le Marquis,—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 documentsbefore 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, bi , sides, stated in the despatch which I had the honour to address to you on the 29th of November last, and I shall confine myself, in my reference thereto, to reviewing that part of the despatch relative to these questions. "When the United States Minister came to acquaint me with4lic opin ions of. the Wasitinrett-C-44otrit,--1-6.44 to state that 1 declined all official controversy upon the acts of foreign Government, 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 the respon sibility for resolutions emanating from the free initiative of the Mexican Government. To adn.it such a discussion would justify its being said, contrary to all our declarations and the attitude wo have rigorously observed, that we consider ourselves invested in Mexico with sovereign rights. Now, the support we afford to the Emperor Maximilian and th e 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 the 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 lit the admission of emigrants upon its territory, whether black or whit©, and the conditions of the colonisation of its soil. It is evident that these conditions, offered to strangers, only apply to the persons who have freely accepted thorn. 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 frontiers, 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 emanatingfrom the sovereign authority of a foreign Government.—Receive, (Signed) " DROVYN DE LLIVYS.

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 llon. 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 au association, which he was going to propose on the same principle as the ono 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 respective limits by volunt,U,.y action, it -worrht - show they -were. fullyzejsl.4o- 0 4 ? - = ;. and were doing all in their power to help themselves. The principal features of the association now pro posed to be established were that all landlords and tenants should be members thereof, and should pay ld. in the pound on the agricultural rental of their estates and farms, and that no member should be liable for any amount beyond the sum subscribed by him. Ile would conclude by moving that au 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 was carried with only one dissentient. WESTMORELAND. 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. Ile moved a series of resolutions, of which the following were the most important : " That a general subscription be at once opened, to include landlords, tenants, and the public gene rally, to raise a fund for the purpose of immediate prevention and partial indemnity against the cattle plague in the east 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 time 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 by a 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 will pay three-fourtbs of the sterling value to subscribers, it is upon the condition that the illness of the animal has been re ported immediately and without any delay to tho nearest local committee. They will pay to non subscribers, or those subscribing less than 5 percent. 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 a nim al." 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. Tuf ton, 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-WEST RIDING). The number of cattle attacked by the disease in some parts of the southern division of the West 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 to the 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 follow.d. 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 Osgoldeross 220 have died within a short time.
