PARIS, THURSDAY Immo.
At length the Mouiteor speaks with something
like distinctness on the subject of the evacuation
of Mexico. Baron Gaillard, it announces, has re.
paved from his "_sgission"—that 'pinion of whisk
the official journal has never before spoken. hi'
mission has been successful. We are told that
after communications between M. Dano, the ?resell

minister, Marshal Bazsine, and the leicican go.'
vernment—it is characteristic of the situation that',
the Mexican government should be mentioned
last—it was arranged that the French Wimps shag
evacuate Mexico in three divisions—the first is
November, 1866 ; the second in March, 1867 ; lad
the third in November, 1867. This delsy, though
rether long, will doubtless satisfy the United &dee
government, which has not the least objection Mkt
the Mexicans keep Maximilian for their rake
if they like him, but only desires, as Frame woe
very clearly given to understand a few months ago,
that no monarchy in America shall rest ups
lturopean bayoneta. If France now sets up to the
official programme of the Monifeur, Mexico will na
longer be a subject of difficulty between her lad
the United States. What will become of Maxi.
milian is quite another question.
The opposition has gained an important electoral
victory at Pan. M. Barthe, the batonnier of the
bor of that town, who was lately beaten by K.
Larrabure in the contest for the Corps Legielegfp
has been elected a member of the Council-Owned
by a considerable majority. This is an index of
that current of opinion which may be a:pa:telt.,
show itself strongly in the Ball Rhin on Apra 11.
Lady Cowley gave a grand ball at Up Britm
!embassy last night, which, I hear it aid, was "the •
ball of the season." The Crown Prince of Dub:
mark was the honoured guest of the ova ls& is
is an extremely prepossessing young inanolerradet
I arrogance or affectation, perfectly self-posondr
while modest and affable ; and he entered into lia

enjoyments of the evening with all the not asiud
.1
to his age. He danced nearly every dance,
conjointly with Lord Royston, conducted the
ootillou. The only ceremonious etiquette ob.
Nerved on his account was at supper. Be
gave his arm to Lady Cowley to weird
her to the supper table, where four disks
of state were placed. These were occupied by lady
Cowloy, the Prince of Denmark, the Duthie&
Basun° (as representing the Empress), and Se
Countess Castiglione. The rest of the eompay
was not, however, kept back as sometimes hippos
when precedence is given to a royal party, bat teak
their supper simultaneously, though, of cows,
standing (for the great numbers would hays ode
any other arrangement impossible), on either its
of the four chairs. The Duke de Persigny,
ahal Canrobert, Prince de Metternich, Lord Sydney,
the young Duke of Hamilton, and most of the
Corps Diplomatique were among the company.
The ball for the British Charity Fund takes
place at the Grand Hotel this evening. The
stewards anticipate that it will be the most a*
°Toilful ever given. Lady Cowley has disposed f
960 tickets at 20fr. each. The Emperor has es&
scribed 1,000 fr., and taken several tickets bonds.
The Bourse, although a large business was not
done, closed with a decided improvement. Rents
rose sc. for cash, and 170. for account, closing st
67fr. 65c. in each case. Mobilier roes 7fr. 504
and Italian 321 c.
