Congress met yesterday, but the house having no
quorum, went into a committee of the whole.
In the Senate Mr. Sumner presented petitions
from the citizens of Boston, asking indemnity from
the British government for the loss of a ship harped
by the Alabama. The petition was referred to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, and both houses
then adjourned until Monday.
The diplomatic correspondence between France
and the United States relative to the Mexican
question has been presented to Congress. On
Nov. 3 Mr. Seward wrote to Mr. Bigelow to call
the serious attention of the French Government to
the military proceedings in Mexico, by which cap-
tured native Mexicans, while adhering in war to
their own government, are denied the rights which
the law of nations invariably accords to prisoners of
war.

On the 28th of November Mr. Seward wrote to
Mr. Bigelow that he had received information from
Romero that Generals Urtega, Salazar, and numerous
other Mexican officers, who had been captured by
Imperialists, had been executed.
Mr. Seward instructed Mr. Bigelow to call the
serious attention of the French government to this
subject, and to inform M. Drouyn de lihuys that
the Federal government received these reports with
the utmost concern. Mr. Seward added, "If upon
investigation these reports prove true, the United
States cannot doubt that, as far as the French
government is concerned, it can never countenance
proceedings so repugnant to the sentiments of
modern civilization and the instincts of humanity."
Mr. Bigelow wrote on the 30th of November to
Mr. Seward that' M. Drouyn de Lbuys, referring
to his (Mr. Bigelow's) representations in regard to
the shooting of captured Mexican republicans, and
to the case of Madame Iturbide, had asked him
why he did not go to Juarez ( ? Maximilian), and
said, "We are not the government of Mexico.
You do us too much honour to treat us as such. We
had to go to Mexico with an army to secure certain
important interests, but we are not responsible for
the Emperor Maximilian or his government. He
is accountable to you, as to any other government
if be violated its rights, and you have the same re-
medies there that we had."
On December 10 Mr. Seward wrote to M.
Romero, thanking him for his despatches concern-
ing Maximilian's outlawry decree, which despatches
had received from the Federal government the con-
sideration to which they were justly entitled.
Washington despatches state that Count Zuch,
the Emperor Maximilian's envoy, had arrived at
Washington to seek Federal recognition of the
Mexican empire.
The Brownsville correspondence of the New
Orleans Times states that the American General
Crawford had arrived at Brownsville, with authority
to raise an American division of troops for the
Mexican republican service, and that he had estab-
lished recruiting places at Brownsville and other
towns iu Texas. The Federal authorities had not
interfered with these movements.

It was rumoured that Generals Logan and Vial-
lace were connected with the movement ; and
Mejia was said to be preparing against an attack
by Crawford.
It is semi-officially announced that Mr. Seward
will call at Havannah and Vera Cruz, and such
other ports as he may see lit.
°Mahoney bas sent a message to the Fenian
Congress declaring that if the Senate faction had

pendence; and• an Irish fleet sweepicg English

Herr Grabow delivered the usual opening ad-
dress to the house, in which he sharply criticised
the language of the reactionary press, the prohi-
bition by the government of the Cologne banquet
to the Prussian liberal deputies, and the mea-
sures which bad been taken to restrict the liberties
of the press, the freedom of voting of government
officials, and the meeting of political associations.
Herr Grabow deplored the conflict between the
government and the chamber on constitutional

questions, a state of things which had now become
chronic, and bad brought political legislation to a
standstill. He added that liberty was the only
thing which could lead to moral conquests, to the
solution of the Bleswig-Holstein question, which
the Gastein convention had but complicated, and
to the Federal unity of Germany.
