FRANCE.
EVACUATION OF MEXICO BY THE
FRENCH.

PARIS, APRIL 5.

In consequence of communications exchanged
between Marshal Bazaine and the Emperor Maxi-
milian, the Emperor Napoleon has decided that the
French troops shall evacuate Mexico in three de-
tachments. The first detachment will ]eave in
November, 1866, the second in March, 1867, and
the third in November, 1867. Negotiations are
being carried on between France and Mexico for
substituting for the present financial arrangements
of the Treaty of Miramar a fresh treaty, which shall
afford guarantees for the debt owing to France,
and for the French interests involved in the Mexi-
can loans.

'The Attack upon the Belgian Mission in

Mexico.

FURTHER DETAILS.
CITY O}' MEXICO, March 8,

The funeral obsequies of Captain D'Huart, murdered on
the 4th inst. by guerillas a few miles from this city, took
place yesterday morning in the church of San Geronimo
with great pomp. A detachment of the Belgian Infantry
Regiment were drawn up as a guard of honour inside the
church, accompanied by their band, which executed
various appropriate sacred compositions. Tho Emperor
and Empress, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and other
dignitaries, the staff of the Belgian Legation, and many
French, Austrian, and Belgian officers were present at the
ceremony, which terminated at half-past eight o'clock.
The further particulars which have been received re-
specting the murderous attack upon the Belgian mission
seem to show that it was prompted by no pasty feeling,
but was the act of common highway robbers. According
to the statement of the coachman, the band consisted of
from 15 to 20 Mexicans on foot, wearing the Mexican leg-
gings and the serape. Some of them were masked. Upon
making their appearance they called out to the first dili-
gence to stop, and did not fire until after Captain D'Huart
had discharged his revolver. They then made the dis-
charge which caused the instantaneous death of Captain
D'Huart, who was killed by a ball passing completely
through his head. The travellers riding inside the dili-
gence also commenced firing upon the brigands,
who then took shelter at the back part of the coach
in order to reload, after which they fired a second
time. Observing this, General Foury and the rest of the
party alighted, and, sword in hand, rushed upon the
brigands and put them to flight just as the second dili-
gence came up. General Foury and Major Atturs were
wounded, but their hurts are considered slight. Both
were able to return to Mexico, and are now lodged in the
Palace. M. Marechal was wounded by a ball in the
shoulder, which has since been extracted. As soon as his
condition will permit he will be removed to Mexico in a
litter by short stages.
General Lopez left Queretaro, on the 3d inst., for San
Luis Potosi, whence he will march with 2,000 men to
Matamoras, in order to reinforce the division of General
Mejia.

The Ere Nouvelle of the Bth inst. says—" The Emperor
has just nominated Gen. Almonte as Mexican Plenipoten-
tiary at the Court of the Tuileries, in place of Senor Hidalgo,
who has resigned that post. General Almonte will also
be intrusted with a special mission to the Emperor Napo-
leon. The important part taken by General Almonte in
the intervention, and the high offices he has fulfilled, can-
not but contribute to strengthen the relations between
France and Mexico."
