FRANCE AND MEXICO.

La Patrie, in announcing the departure of the
last vessels that convey a caps d'art's& of nearly
30,000 men to Mexico, concludes as follows:

On entering Mexico our soldiers will find what France
always expected to find—friends. Our flag, in protecting the
reorganization of an independent and local power, will only
be completing the work decided upon by the parties who
signed the Treaty of London. As regards the issue of this
expedition, it may be easily foreseen. Our soldiers, return.
iog their swords to their scabbards, will lame to French
diplomacy the care of carrying out the task generously
undertaken. And French diplomacy will call European
diplomacy to her, and it is with the councils of the great
Powers that civilisation, expected for more than half a cen-
tury, will make its first steps on Mexican soil.
It is then that, free from the passions and rivalries
which obscured it, the Mexican question will appear as
France put it. It will be seen what interests were engaged
in this enterprise, so badly understood at the onset, sod
England and Spain will not have to regret having let France
commence without them, without their flag, what France
will ask than loyally to complete with her in common.
