A telegram has been received here from General
Caste'nen, dated Vera Cruz, 14th inst., confirming
the news of the evacuation of the city of Mexico by

THE FRENCH BLUE Boo[.—WO read in the
nowat of yesterday: "The diplomatic documents from the
Lime Jesse which have been published by various jour.
rads, though they may not reveal anything new respecting
the political situation, at all events possess undoubted
interest for the curious aml contain very instructive de-
tails. Thus it is not a matter of indifferenoe to know the
opinion of our ambassador at Vienna upon the position of
Austria after the defeat at fiadows. The Prussians, M.
de Oramont writes on the 9th July, may be in Vienna
in a few days. Next day be writes that the capture
of Vienna is so imminent that there is no time
for negotiations, and 'hat the Austrian government is
making preparations, all of which indicate a speedy evacua-
tion of the capital. We see by this that in abandoning
Venetia to obtain the mediation of France Austria yielded
to an imperious necessity, and that she did not deserve
the reproach levelled against her by her Paris friends of
being discouraged too readily. These friends spoke, in
fact, at their ease, and did not perceive that vexation
rei.dered them unjust."
