TLe Emperor Maximilian, aping a recent French
idea, has divided Mexico into three great military
commands. The first be conferred upon the trench
General Donay, with Ben Luis Potosi for head-
quarters ; the second was given to General Castagny
—head-quarters, Durango ; the third was destined
for General Thun, the commandant of the Austrian
contingent, but he, leas confident than the French
general in the duration of this swim which has
grown up almost se quickly se a tree sown by en
Indian conjuror, which germinates, sprouts, runs
up, blossoms, and bears fruit in the course of an
hour, refused to accept it. A funny story from
Mexico is that the French generals who have
accepted these high commands, one of whom is
the famous Castagny, who marked himself for
promotion by offering to invade England after the
Orsini affair, in 1868, had got themselves na-
turalised Mexicans !
The Temps ()beams that the most important
feature of M. Drouyn de Ways' despatch on the
cholera conference is the care he takes, while no-
ticing the objections of several foreign journals, to
insist upon the necessity of not interfering with
the independence of the governments upon whose
territory the proposed preventive mamma are to
be carried out.
The Cometitutiormel says the great object is to col-
lect scientific opinions, so that when, 10 or 15
years hence, another periodical visitation of the
epidemic may recur, it shall not be necessary to
study its march day by day, but that it may be
known at once what should be dome to stifle the
plague at its source. One cannot but wish good
luck to such a bold and confident conception.
The Bishop of Orleans, whose pamphlet contain-
ing the terribly long funeral oration on General
Lamoricihre, which fairly tired out even the devout
ladies of Brittany, does not sell very well, is never,
tholess going to try to turn a penny by a " We of
General Lamoricihre," for which the advertisements
say be has received a great deal of exclusive in-
formation.
The death is announced of Priam George Ber-
nard d'Anhalt, born in 1796 ; be was the last sur-
viving brother of the reigning prince of that name.
Prince Napoleon and the Princess Clotilde will
stay at least a month in Italy, and are not expected
in Paris till the end of November.
The spirited resolution of the Hamburg Senate,
declaring that any citizen who may accept a title
or a decoration from any foreign government shall
lose his rights of citizenship, is evidently pointed
against the machinations of M. de Bismarck, who
contemplates the absorption of the free towns of
the Elbe. One of his means of seductions was
known to be profiles offers of honorary distinctions
to wealthy Hamburg merchants and shopkeepers.
The Countess de Montijo, the Empress's mother,
who has been for sometime in Paris, has now gone
to St. Cloud to spend a few days with her Majesty.
The Bourse has more than recovered from the
fall of yesterday. One hears nothing more of the
resignation of M. Fonld. Bente rose 2bc. for cash,
and 17tc. for account. Mobilier rose 7fr. 50c., and
Mexican, j.
