MEXICO.

The following is the text of the despatch from
General Forey, received by the French Minister of

War: --

“ MEXICO, JUNE 10.

"I have just entered the city of Mexico at the
head of the army. With a heart still agitated by
the event, I address this despatch, in haste, to your
Excellency to inform you that the whole popula-
tion of this city received the army with an enthu-
siasm that bordered on delirium. The soldiers of
France were literally crushed under the showers of
garlands and baguets. Only the entrance of the
army into Paris on the 14th of July, 1859, when
returning from Italy, can give an idea of the scene.
I have been present, with all the officers of the staff,
at a Te Deum, in the magnificent cathedral of this
capital, that was thronged by an immense crowd.
The army, then, in admirable condition, defiled be-
fore me, with cries of Vive l'Ernpereur !" Vive
l'lmperatrice

" After the review I received an address from the
authorities at the Palace of the Government. This
population strongly desires order, justice, and true
liberty. In my replies to their representatives I
hive promised them these in the name of the Em-
peror.

" By the earliest opportunity I shall have the
honour of giving you fuller details of this reception
—unequalled in history—which has all the import
ance of a political event, and of which the celebrity
will be enormous.

MEZZHNIKA. KB.

In old days he had known Peusanias familiarly; yet an
hour or two ago he had been looking hopelessly at that
page, and it had suggested no more meaning to
him than if the letters had been black weather-
marks on a wall; but at this moment they were once more
the magic signs that conjure up a world. That moonbeam
falling on the letters had raised Messenia before him, and
its struggle against the Spar tan oppression. He snatched
up the b ok, buy the light was too pale for him to read fur-
ther by. No matter: he knew that chapter; he read in-
wardly. He saw the stoning of the traitor Aristocrates—
stoned by a whole people, who cast him out from their bor-
de:s to lie unburied, and set up a pillar with some verses
upon it, telling how Time had brought home justice to the
unjust. The words arose within him, and stirred innu
merable vibrations of memory. He forgot that he was old;
he could almost have shouted. The fight was cortie again,
mother of knowledge and joy ! In that exultation his limbs
recovered their strength : he started up wi h his broken
dagger and book, and went out under the broad moonlight.
It was a nipping fro-ty air, but Baldassare could feel no
chill—he only felt the glow of conscious power. He walked
about and paused on all the open spots of that high ground,
and 'ooked down ( n the domed and towered city, sleeping
darkly under its sleeping guardians, the mountains; on the
pale gleam of the river; on the valley vanishing towards
the peaks of snow ; and felt himself master of them all.
That sense of mental empire which belongs to us all in mo•
monts of exceptional clearness, was intensified for him by
the long days and night in which memory had been little
more than the consciousness of something gone. That city
which had been a weary labyrinth, was material that he
could subdue to nis purposes now : ' his mind glanced
through its affairs with flashing conjecture ; he was once
more a man who knew cities, whose sense of vision was in-
structed with large experience, and who felt the keen de-
light of holding alt things in the grasp of language. Names!
Images I—his mind rushes through its wealth without
pausing, like one who enters on a great inheritance."

THE PANAMA MAIL ROUTE.

Sir S, NORTHCOTE called attention to the proposal
which had been made for the establishment of a mute to
Australia by way of Panama, and asked the Government to
state their intentions on the subject, urging that if a second
fortnightly communication was established it was for the
advantage of Sydney and New Zealand that it should be via
Panama.

Mr. F. PEEL said the question of establishing a second
monthly communication with Australia had received the
consideration of the Government more than once during
the last two years, and they had recently had communica-
tions with gentlemen representing the interests of both
New South Wales and New Zealand; and, although it was
most gratifying to observe the certainty and the regularity
with which the present service was performed by the
Peninsular and Oriental Company, it was not surprising
that the receipts from the postage of letters by no means
covered the expense of maintaining the communication.
Within the last few days they had received an offer from the
Peninsular and Oriental Company to double the communi-
cation between Ceylon and Australia for an additional sum
of £50,000 ; at present they were paid £134,000, and for con-
siderably less than half that amount they are willing to
duplicate the service. He thought that was a very reason-
able offer, and that the Government were fully justified in
communicating with Australia to ascertain the views of the
colonial authorities, before deciding in the matter.
Mr. CHILDERS deprecated the proposal to double the
rate of postage between this country and Australia.

RUSSIA.

FRESH LEVY OF RUSSIAN TROOPS,
ST. PE'T'ERSBURG, JULY 18.

An Imperial decree has been published, which,
in view of the present state of affairs, orders a
fresh levy of troops in November next, at the rate
of 10 men for every 1,000 of the population.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, JULY 17.

In to-day's sitting of the Lower House of the
Council of the Empire the Finance Minister made
his statement for 1864.

The savings in the War Department are calcu
teed at about 700,000 florins. The minister pro
raises shortly to introduce a bill for the regulation
of the direct rates and taxes. The balatce of ordi

nary revenue over ordinary expenditure is stated
at upwards of 9,000,000 florins. The cltficit occa•
sioned by the extraordinary ontliy of 50 million
florins is proposed to be met by payments falling due,
by a new tax, and by the public credit. The defier'
is of an extraordinary character, because the budg, t
now brought forward is for 14 months, occasioned
by the transition from the financial to the solar
year, also in consequence of the repayment of the
instalments due by the state to the bank, and of the
interest of the loan falling due.
The Minister further states that to relieve the
distress prevailing in Hungary, the Emperor has
consented to grant an advance of two million florins
from the treasury, and promises further assistance
required.

The Vienna papers publish intelligence from
Galacz, in Moldavia, dated the 15th, stating that
on the 13th a band of 2g)Poles passed the Danube
near Tultscha, towards Belgrade. An order from
Bucharest for their return was disregarded. A
body of Wallachian troops pursued and gave the
Poles battle upon the 14th. Both sides suffered
severely, but the Poles continued their march to-
wards the Russian frontier.
London, England, 1863-07-18

THE, SON, LONDON,' SATURDAY EVENING, JULY -0,18, 1863,

slam. On the arrival of some Prussian troops, fir,
ing commenced on both sides. The encounter wal

a trifling one in itself, but not so as regards the
evidence it brings of future and further engage-
ments of a like sort. If the Prussians are in arms
against the Poles in good earnest, of course the war
will assume still greater importance than at present;
it will increase in extent, and be more fatal in its

consequences. It is quite time that a stop was put
to its continuance before its ravages become more
wasting still, and its results more exterminating.
That the Prussians should so disgrace themselves to
take up arms against those struggling patriots is
only what might have been expected from the con-
duct that has lately distinguished the KING and his
Ministers. That base convention whose discussion
created such confusion in the Chamber of Deputies,
spoke volumes as to the intention of the Govern-
ment, and doubtless one of the chief causes of the
sudden dismissal of the Assembly was to pre-
vent the possibility of any awkward allusion to
still stranger measures that it was proposed to adopt,
and the more conspicuous part that the Ministers
intended to take in this unhappy affair. The in-
surrection is assuming formidable dimensions in the
Palatinate of Lublin, it is stated in the last de-
spatches, and the insurgent cavalry have gained a
victory over the Russians near Rulno, and in
another place the mounted Chasseurs defeated the
Russian Hussars. All thee.) things testify that an
amnesty is not what is wanted. The world has
had too much sad experience of Russian policy to
trust any specious promises, or to put faith in the
validity of unfettered conditions. It is insulting
common sense to keep to the letter and riot to fulfil
the spirit of the proposals that were sent from the
several governments. What avail is it to have a
nappy state and a peaceful country prepared i, the
inhabitants are exterminated before the change
takes place. Unless some decided step be taken to
persuade the Russia❑ Government to agree to an
armistice the consequences will be serious, and the
new allies of the Russians will still further compli

cate matters, and precipitate the catastrophe. It
is to be hoped, however, that the French will per-
sist in their work, and reiterate their demands with
such force and decision that the Cabinet of St.
Petersburg will finally grant their just request,
end so a great and substantial benefit will be con-
ferred on the desperate strugglers in this unequal
contest.

MEXICO.

The following is the text of the despatch from
General Forey, received by the French Minister 01
War :

"MEXICO, JUNE 10.
" I have just entered the city of Mexico at the
head of the army. With a heart still agitated by
the event, I address this despatch, in haste, to your
Excellency to inform you that the whole popula-
tion of this city received the army with an enthu
siasm that bordered on delirium. The soldiers of
France were literally crushed under the showers of
garlands and bAuets. Only the entrance of the
,st nay into Paris on the 14th of Jul, 1859, when
returning from Italy, can give an idea of the scene.
I have been present, with all theofficers of the staff,
at a 7e Detail, in the magnificent cathedral of this
capital, that was thronged by an immense crowd.
Tne army, then, in admirable condition, di fi ed be-
fore me, with cries of ' Vave l'Empereur !" Vive
amperatrice "
" After the review I received an address from the
authorities at the Palace of the Government. This
population strongly desires order, justice, and true
liberty. In my replies to their representatives I
have promised them these in the name of the Em-
peror.

" By the earliest opportunity I shall have thz3
honour of giving you fuller details of this reception
—unequalled in history—which has ali the import
mice of a political event, and of which the celebrity
will be enormous.

WIMBLEDON PRIZE MEETING.

The annual prize meeting of the National Rifle
Association, which is year by year increasing in
importance, was brought to a close yesterday with
considerable eclat. The weather was all that could
be desired, and there was a good attendance of spec .
tators, who were present perhaps more particularly
to watch the conclusion of the International match.
The band of the Honourable Artillery Company was
present throughout the day, and much enlivened
the proceedings by their frequent and excellent
performances.

As we have already stated, the International
match engrossed particular attention. At the 1,000
3 ards range Lient.-Col. Halford made a total score
of 43 marks, which comprised 3 bull's eyes, 9 cen-
ree, 2 outers, and 1 miss.
Although Sergeant Smith in his total score at
this range was 2 behind Colonel Halford, he made
6 bull's•eyes, 5 centres, 1 outer, and unfortunately
missed three times. Captains Heaton and Rowland
each made 40 marks.

At the same range, 1,000 yards, Scotland's re•-
presentatives did not make collectively or indi
vidually such high total scores as the England men
did. Captain H. Ross headed the list with 41
marks. His first shot was a ricochet. The next a
bull's-eye, followed by two centres, an outer, then
another bull's-eye, 5 eentres, 2 bull's-eyes, 1 outer,
and a miss. England had finished her part in the
match at noon, but it was nearly five o'clock in
the evening before Scotland found that at the three
ranges she had made a total score of 999 marks.
England's total score was 1,012. England there-
fore is the winner of the Elcho Challenge Shield
for 1863, with a grand total score of 83 marks. A
result which, on all sides, must be looked upon as
very satisfactory.
The following are the scores made by both aides
at the 1,000 yards range :

ADMIRALTY DISPATCHES.

Mr. 11. SEYMOUR. asked the Secretary to the Admi-
ralty whether it was true that a bag, containing
de-
spatches from the Admiralty to the Admiral on thethe station
at Vancouver's Island, was abstracted from on
board the United States steamer in its
from Panama ; and whether, in the abseinacesage
safe postal communication, the Admiral was not under the°
necessity of employing a Government war steamer to carrythe despatches to Panama; and, whether the Government
wore not cbliged on the occasion of the Trent affair, to send
the despatches to the Admiral on the Pacific station at
Vancouver's Island round by Cape Horn ?
Lord C. PAGET replied that on two occasions the bags
had been mislaid, but were ultimately recovered, though in
one case some letters were missing and had never come to
hand. It had been found requisite to send some despatches
round by Cape Horn.
PRIVATE BILL LEGISLATION.
Mr. R. HODGSON asked the President of the Board of
Trade what course he intended to pursue with reference to

the consideration of the Government, and that he would
give a definite reply on Tuesday.
