MEXICO.

A communication from Toulon, in the Measager
du Midi, says :
The large 'team transport Aube has strived in the
roadstead from Mexico. Tbis vessel, going before the wind
at the speed of 11 knots an hour, and driven by the hurri-
cane which has lately prevailed in the Atlantic, made the
mirage in 24 days, daring which time her fires were only
lit to pus the Strait of °throaty, so that she has anchored
with 500 tons of coal In her hold, and 150 tons in sackJ.
Some of her boats, carried away by the tempest, and water
entering in profusion by the seams from the draining of
the vessel, were the only drawbacks on this magnificent
passage. At the moment of her departure from Vera Crux
military affairs in Mexico were taking quite a picturesque
tuns. While the allied commis' alone= were in parley with
. . .

the government of Juarez, the generals had made •
forward movement to preserve the expeditionary troops
from the fatal influence of the climate on the coast.
During that march, about • thousand Mexicans were
met with under General Orags, who sent to ask the mean-
ing of this armed demonstration. On the reply that
they were looking for • healthy and convenient site
for encamping, the Mexican general formed the heed
of the column as far as a plateau, the comforts and
delights of which be described ; and in order
to give the example, he established his camp
at a distanee of GOO yards from that of the allies, who occu-
pied the little town of Tejeria. They were hardly installed
when the French and Mexican fraternised like old friends,
and the men who were sent from the camp on expedition*
for food were at once loaded u provisions, in order to
spare them the trouble of looking further. The Mexican
general having learned that the French were in want of
fresh meat in consequence of the delay of a convoy, sent
several bullocks, only requesting that none should be given
to the Spaniards. The Mexican expedition would have
already terminated amicably, had it not been for the pre-
sence of the Spaniards, against whom Mexican exasperation
is carried to the extent of fanaticism.

FRANCE.

The Revue des Deese-Monde expresses itself in
these terms on the Roman question :
This Roman question is peculiarly a French one ; it is,
as it were, the supreme expression of the conflict of ideas,
systems, and principles, which have divided France for
eighty years. It brings the French Revolution face to face
with the most absolute form of the governments by divine
right. " Let a nation perish, provided the Pope's temporal
power survive !" is the last echo of the ancient rfipme.
Let the temporal power, the material instrument
of • religions faith, give way to the rights of the
people ! Let catholicism relinquish political privileges,
and acknowledge that, like all other creeds, it has no
right to more than an equality in liberty! " cries
the genius of the French Revolution. Who shall judge
between such adversaries! Who shall award Votary to
either? We see no sovereign arbiter, no enpreme judge
whose decree can be efficacious, but the French nation
itself. For this reason we are of opinion that, since the
Roman question is now ripe for solution, the country ought
to he sincerely consulted by a general election.
The Miele fully supports the views so advocated,
and observes :

If the government leaves the electors full liberty ; if it
aletains, as it always ought, from all kind of iotervention,
the reactioaists will thus hove so opportunity of learning
their real strength at the elections.

a phosphoric match from a box which he had just before
purchased at Eliierfeld. The matches being tightly packed,
the young man introduced his fi.igcr unit between them to
extract one, when a small portion of phosphorus passed
under the nail and ignited. Although the time was imme-
diately rxtinguished, the band had swelled so much on
arriviog at Dusseldorf that a surgeon advised its amputa-
tion. The !Autistic would not consent and proceeded to
Cologne, but, on arriving there, the swelling bad so much
extended as to render the amputation of both hand and arm
neomeary."
