MEXICO.

Under the head of "Latest Intelligence," La
Presse publishes the following

"-Despatches from Mexico of the 19th of April
mention a proclamation of President Juarez, in
reply to the document signed by General de Lo-
rencez and General Almonte. In this proclamation
the President appeals to his compatriots to resist,
and protests against any attack upon the free-will
of the country. The Spaniards have terminated
the operation of embarking. They were obliged to
have recourse to English transport ships."

On Thursday some important experiments took
place at Shoeburyness. It has been the fashion of late on
the part of those who have studied gurnery to assert that
the initial velocity imparted to a shot from a rifled cannon
is less than that which would be derived from a smooth-
bore gun. Sir Wm. Armstrong joined issue on this point,
and in order to settle the matter he, on the day alluded to,
loaded a 12-pounder on his principle with a shell weighing
81bs , with a 21b. charge of powder, and the initial velocity
obtained was 1,740 feet. A 9-pounder smooth-bore was
then loaded with a shot of 91bs , and 2ilbs. of Lowder, and
the initial velocity amounted only to 1,613 feet.—Army and
Navy Gazette.
A PAIR OF. AMAZONS.—Two young girls, in-
fluenced by love and a desire for adventure, dressed them-
selves in masculine habiliments, and, visiting Kittanning,
desired to enlist in the gallant 78th, in which their "lovyers"
are doing duty. Tne officer on whom they waited refused
to enrol then:, dec'aring that he wanted no more recruits;
whereupon the twain expressed themselves greatly disap-
pointed, and, after a brief stay in town, returned quietly to
their homes.
The Costituzione, of Naples, states that in a
private conversation with General La Martnora, Prince
n,polonn said :—" This people cannot desire the return of
the Bourbons ; the whole of Europe will soon adhere unani-
mously to the Franco-Italian policy."
Orders have been transmitted to Bordeaux to
hasten the completion of the floating batteries Palostro and
Paixham. The first of these vessels may be launched in a
month, and the other iu the month of July.

711 E P_RO.TECIED _ITALIAN EXPEDI-
TION.

The Italian Minister of the Interior has addressed
the following circular to the Prefrcts

" TURIN, MAY 15.
" The Government has learnt that in many parts
of the kingdom persons, acting under bad advice,
are making military preparations and clandestine
enrolments for an expedition, which they would
have it believed is undertaken, if not with the con-
sent, at least with the concurrence, of the Govern-
ment itself. In order to justify this expedition a
name has been put forward which belongs to one who
is dear to the country, and held in high estimation
by the Government, and an attempt has thus been
made to produce an impression that this senseless
attempt is prompted and directed by him. The
Government believes it has satisfactory reasons for
declaring that the illustrious general has no par-
ticipation.whatever in such enterprises, which could
only have the effect of seriously endangering all
th'it Italy has obtained up to the present time by
his wisdom and his courage. Meanwhile, M. le
Prefect, you will endeavour, with that indulgence
and zeal for the public service, of which you have
already given such distinguished proofs, to con-
vince your functionaries that the Government, far
from tolerating, condemns these deplorable at-
tempts, and that it is determined not to shrink
from the employment of any means of preventing
them, by maintaining with a firm hand the
authority of the law. The undersigned has
full confidence that you will use the greatest vigi-
lance in this matter, in order that you may be per-
fectly informed of everything that may be attempted
in your province with the view of converting such
projects into deeds, neglecting no means of prevent-
ing, by advice, and, if necessary, even by force,
everything which would tend to imperil public
oraer, and the respect due to the laws. In confor-
mity with these instructions, you will without delay
put in execution the means which you may judge
to be most suitable under the circumstances for
making the public acquainted with the firm deter-
mination of the Government on this point.
(Signed) " For the Minister,
" The Director-General FONTANA."

The proposed expedition was to have left the
kingdom from three different points—Mount Stel-
vio, Ferrara, and the sea. Through the Stelvio
pass, they would communicate with the Upper
Italian Tyrol, forming part of the Germanic Con-
federation. By Ferrara and the Adriatic they
would have reached Venetia.

The Ulan Gazette contains the following notice
from General Garibaldi :

" Colonel G. B. Cattabeni, a brave officer covered
with noble wounds, and of irreproachable charac-
ter, was arrested, without the formalities required
by the law, last night, at Trescorra, and brought to
Milan as a malefactor. I recal to the country that
if it is the duty of the Government to cause justice
to be respected, it ought also in turn to respect the
dignity of citizens, and especially of those who have
deserved well of their country.

" G. GARIBALDI."

The Italia says :—" If our information is correct,
all the legal formalities were observed in Colonel
Cattabeni's arrest. This arrest, for which the
gravest reasons are given, was made in pursuance
of an order issued by the King's procureur at
Genoa."

TIIE INT.6.RN47IONAL EXHIBITION.

The tide of success which seemed to set in on Sa-
turday continued to flow yesterday in a very satis-
factory manner. There was a capital attendance,

and evidently au awakened curiosity amongst the
v.sitors, who inquired eagerly for the different ob-
jects which had been more particularly noticed in
the papers. The Swiss bullfinch had quite a levee ,
and we observed similar interest displayed respect-
ing other objects to which attention had also been

directed. It should be noted that yesterday was
the first half-crown day, and the good effect of com-
paratively low prices was soon made perceptible, no
less than 10,869 persons having entered before three
o'clock. The " finest sapphire in the world" was
eagerly inquired after, and numbers also stopped to

look at the Austrian Album, of the moderate dimen-
sions of 6ft. by 3ft., and bound i❑ proportion. The
majolica fountain is now nearly finished, and pro-
mises to be quite as attractive as the crystal marvel
of 1851. Tile fine group of St. George and the
Dragon has been placed on the top, and the lower
ornaments are now so nearly all placed that the de-
sign of the whole can be easily comprehended. As
a work of art it will be, perhaps, more interesting
'tan its predecessor, and when the water is laid on,
and commences playing, will be quite as brilliant.
Two or three trees in tubs have made their appear-
ance in the nave, the advance guard, we trust, of
more to come ; and, better news still, the bells pre..
served a respectful taciturnity during the day. Au
incident which occurred in the afternoon afforded
a pretty strong proof of how much some of the rules
established by the Commissioners require revision.
A French gentleman, whilst paying his money for
admission, dropped a sovereign through one of the
chinks to which we have before alluded. A Sapper
corporal was immediately called; the boards were
taken up, and the money recovered; but what was
the surprise of the stranger on, learning that he
was to pay a fee of half a crown for the recovery of
his mosey, which had fallen through chinks which
could only have existed there through the neglect
of somebody. An indignant Brito❑ who heard the
demand at once took the foreigner under his pro-
tection, and made such an appeal to the Commis-
sioners on the injustice arid absurdity of the demand
that the fee was remitted. Her Grace the Duchess
of Sutherland visited the building at about five
o'clock, and expressed herself much gratified at
learning the extraordinary influx of visitors which
the reduction of price had created. In the evening
the jurors dined together in the French restaurant,
but of course were as yet obliged to be very myste-
rious on the subject of their labours.
The number of visitors admitted to five o'clock
p.m. is as follows :—Season tickets, 4,655; on pay-
ment of 2s. 6d., 9,489 ; total, 14,144. Amongst the
visitors were the following :—Lord Villiers and
daughters, Sir George and Lady Grey, Lord
Roselyn and family, Viscountess Dungannon, the
Japanese Ambassadors, General Lord Gough.
