MEXICO.

Advices from Mexico to the 29th ult., published
in the New York papers, report that General
Bazaine bad been defeated several times in the
province of Oaxica. Juarez was said to be in Sonora.
The Tribune says—" Private letters from Mexico
state that the liberals are rising in the parts from
which the French bad withdrawn. Diaz is asserted
to have 12,000 men, and the entire liberal party
numbered 60,000 men."
Washington despatches state that semi-official
advhers from Sonora announce that a large force
of imperialists under Vega had invaded that pro-
vince. The Mexican General Felon started
to attack Vega. The French sent reinforce-
ments on board the steamer Lucifer, which were
landed at Altata. Colonel Rosalie attacked and
defeated the reinforcements at San Pedro, capturing
their artillery and some prisoners, including
Lagrilla, who commanded the expedition. Patori,
at the same time, defeated Vega, at Bike*, cap-
turing his artillery and many prisoners, including
Vega himself, who was shot as a traitor.

THE PRUSSIAN NOTE TO AUSTRIA.
BERLIN, Fs.. 27.

The following are the demands made by Prussia
in reference to the Duchies in the last note which
has been despatched to Vienna :
"1. The right to levy sailors in the Duchies for
the Prussian navy. '
" 2. The cession to Prussia of the requisite terri-
tory for the establishment of the canal to connect
the German Ocean and the Baltic. At each
mouth of this canal large fortified docks are
to be erected for the reception of Prussian men-
of-war.

"3. The postal and telegraphic departments of
the duchies to be under the direction of Prussia.
" 4. To connect as closely as possible the forces
of the Duchies with those of Prussia, so far as
the officering is concerned. The Holstein contin-
gent is, however, not to quit the Federal army."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, Susaar Emirs.
All the journals reproduce the preface of the
Emperor's " History of Caesar," but few accom-
pany the quotation with any criticism. The com-
ments of the merely semi-official prints are too
fulsome and too devoid of ideas to be worth
notice. M. Paulin Limsyrac, in the Coustitu-
bonnet, simply represents the Emperor as the
greatest of all historians, past, present, and
future. The Patric, while admitting that it
has only read the preface, undertakes to my
that the entire work will be equally " magni-
ficent." The France says " the utmost latitude
will be allowed to journalists in their criticism of
the work ;" but upon this officious announcement
the Temps observes :
This desiaratioa—snyerdeons and in bad taste—is as
least ill-Used, sad we should like to know what our great
graadebildres will my If by chases these liar shoold seer
some wider their eyes. The Prance, is its zeal, would lead
porta* to suppose that ear masses are those et easiest
Boats, sad that the hastrdwasl Omar is prose to rasstaber
that he is the wrong' ci seek a people.

The Gazette de France says the lesson given to the
France by the Temps is " severe, but well-merited."
The Constitationnet, in an ecstatic vein, ex-
claims :
Let as call attention to the tact that the preface to the
" Lite of Omar" was written is the Pa/ace al the Militia,
sad heave date Mareh 2D. Napoleon !—The Taihriee !
March 90 ! What reflections are sot soweted by that Puts-
pcei6ou foe thee* who trace awes to their risers!

On this effusion M. Janioot, in the Gmette de
France, says :—" We did indeed remark the date
of March 20 ; it will assuredly not pass unper-
ceived."

The Prance and Opinion Nationale enunciate the
sound doctrine that by the mere fact of writing a
book the sovereign quad hoe becomes a member of
the republic of letters, and that it would be to
insult him to suppose that his work may not be
criticised just as freely as if it were signed Than,
Michelet, or Henri Martin.
The Emperor has already made several presents
of his book. The first copy printed was given to
the Empress, and the second to the Imperial
Prince, with them words written by his Majesty
on the title-page, " A mon file, temoignage de ma
vive tendressn.—Napoleon."
The copyright in the Russian edition of the
"History of Omar" has been assigned by M.
Plon for 9601. The translation is entrusted to M.
Stassulewitch, a professor of the University of St.
Petersburg.
A select correspondence, addressed to about a
dozen catholic journals, relates the story of a
miracle recently performed at Horne by the Pope
in person. A great lady, Madame Odes Oalohi,
being at the point of death sent to the Pope to
beg for his blessing in articulo mortis. Pius IX.
went on his knees, and while he was praying the
lady got up and dressed herself. She states that
in the sleep which preceded her miraculous cure she
distinctly saw the Pope approach her bedside, lay-
ing " Rise up." It is added that she got up so
well as to be able to go straight to church and to
pay a visit of thanks to the Vatican afterwards.

THE SLESWIG-HOLSTEIN QUESTION.

VIENNA, Frs. Si

It is stated that the Prussian note, which arrived
here yesterday, rejects the proposal of Austria
provisionally to transfer the government of the
Duchies to the Duke of Augustenburg until the
solution of the succession question. Prussia must
make the ultimate form of government in the
Duchies dependent upon certain conditions, and
must also receive sufficient compensation.
In conclusion, the note enumerates five points
upon which it is essential for Austri► and Prussia
to agree before a final solution can be arrived at.
These points would not be contrary to the interests
of Austria, and would advance the general interests
of Germany.

NEW YORK, AUGUST 15.

The failure of the Atlantic cable—if it be a
failure—has not, I think, excited much surprise
here. The war has left the public nerves in such a
jaded condition that it is now very difficult to get
up a sensation of any kind. And then the former
failure was such a terrible " soil " that people have
never got over it. There are very few who took
part in the celebration of 1838 who do not now
wince ct the recollection of it, and even those who
did nut tile part in it look back on it as something
very like a national humiliation. The reaction
ass so violent after the affair was over, that
even Cyrus Field became for a while un-
popular, although the reason for carrying him
round the streets In teinroph remaiued just
as strong after the cable had refused to speak as
before. His claims to popular applause were
founded on his share in getting it laid, and laid it
was. The effect of that failure, however, on the
public mind has been such that nobody ventured
to expect much of the recent attempt, and few, I
think, were much disappointed, or much chagrined
on Dearing that the signals had on a cert do day
"become unintelligible, and finally ceased." Then
the press refused to play its part this time in rous-
ing the popular enthusiasm. The country news-
papers, of course, were not 1:11110b concerned about
it, but the New York &Ilya, if not positively
hostile to it, were not sorry, I think, to learn that
it was a failure. The scale of charge which
the company foolishly published before the
work was done was so high that the suc-
cess of the enterprise promised to impose a
frightful burden of expense on the leading New
York journal& Americans will tolerate any defect
in a newspaper but the want of as late news as
money or enterprise can procure.
The result is that the prospect of having the
cable laid has not been hailed by the press with
any great enthusiasm ; and then I ought to add,
that as far as mere sentiment is concerned, I think

people are now not half so much pleased by the
prospect of being drawn so closely to Europe, as
they were seven years ago. To be sure, the events
of the last four years have proved abundantly what
service such a means of intercommunication may
render in preventing misunderstandings, or in re-
moving them, and how much therefore it
may do iu preserving peace. But people
are still too sour and too much embit-
tered to be much affected by considerations
of this sort. They are tired, anything but quarrel-
'some, but they have neither forgiven nor forgotten.
The thought of being brought closer to England,
even figuratively, does not please them.

Thomas Merrick was brought op os remand, charged
with obtaining by false premier a quantity of silk and
other goods, from Messrs. Capper sad Co., wholesale drapers,
ire., Geseechurch•teset.
Mr. Mathews prosecuted.
The prlamer it appeared was formerly is the sealer of
Mr. Shaw, as iron merchant in Oannoncitreet. as a clerk,
and was knows at Marrs. Capper's. Oa or about the 16th
August the primmer called at the warehouse, and said he
wanted a piece of black silk for Mrs Shaw. The ware-
Imemsman to whom he applied did sot ksow him,
but he made *shies, and found that the primmer
was knows as havieg bees before from Mrs. Shaw,
and the silk was given to him, and mitered to Mr. Shaw.
The prisoner iseLed ea several osemicima, each time staling
that he bad moms from Mr. Shaw, sad was 'applied with
the goods he asked for, which co listed oo some occasions
of silk, sad other" of towels sad calicos. The primmer
always had with him • list from which be reed.
and which appeared to be a hot of places at which he bad
to call. Oa the 31st Jaly the primmer, having hem sup-
plied with a rime of milk, asked for • bill of the whole, and
he was told it would be pasted to Mr. Shaw, which wee
does, which led to the discovery that the goods had sot
been ordered by Mr. or Mrs. Shaw, sad that the prisoner
was so longer in Mr. Shaw's service. A fewrods
afterwards the
etasprser agaia presented hi
having • piece paper as usual, ea which
was writtes is pencil a list of articles, minesist which was
sir:tees yards of stik for ocecinea's "rife and twelve yards
for none, and at the bottom there was • mem. that the
prisoner was to call far some parcels at the railway station.
The prisooer said, whoa asked, that be wanted the goods
for Yr. Shaw, and when asked if he was pnpand to pay for
the other goods that he bed had he said it would be all
right if that order were exerted. The primmer. however,
was gives into custody. Several duplicates were foetid upon
the prisoner relating to the goods, which were yesterday pro-
duced by the pawabeekersouad Mislaid by those who sup-
plied them.
The primmer, it appeared, also obtained& quality of
goods from Messrs Wheeler and Co., of the Poultry, to the
extent of about 61., ham* slated that they were for Mr.
Shaw, who was hams there also.
The prisoser was commitbid for trial upon both charges.
