THE MEXICAN EXPEDITION.

La Patrie publishes the following:—

" A private correspondence from Teneriffe, which we have
just received, has brought has some interesting details. The
steamship-of the-line Massena, from Oran, had cast anchor
there on the evening of the 22d November. On the follow-
ing day the Rear-Admiral Commander-in-Chief addressed
the following order of the day to the squadron :
" ' Sailors and Soldiers,—We go to Mexico ; we have not
only to continue, like the valiant squadron of which some
of you formed a part, the reparation of numerous and re-
cent complaints ; we have, above all things, to claim more
serious guarantees than have hitherto been offered to us
for respect to our flag, the safety of our commerce, and the
existence of our compatriots. We do not entertain any
animosity against the Mexican people. We know what
we might expect from that noble and generous race if it
could put an end to its eternal discords, but Governments,
powerless to maintain peace at home, will always, whatever
their banner, badly protect the safety of strangers. Our
real enemy in Mexico is not this or that political faction,—
it is anarchy ; anarchy is an enemy with whom it is useless
to treat.

" ' Sailors and Soldiers,—ln the new campaign you are
about to commence you have the sympathetic opinion of
your country as the judge of your good rights ; the con.
currence and assent of the whole civilised world you will
soon have, in Mexico itself, the good wishes of all honest
men. Understand, then, the duties which this position
imposes upon you. Give the example of order and disci-
pline to the populations. Teach them to honour the name
of our glorious country—to envy the prosperity and peace
which we enjoy—and you may then T.PDPA f. with Ipe4-
timate pride, those words which, a few months since,
our Emperor addressed to you—" Wherever the flag of
France is displayed a just cause precedes it, a grand
people follows it.
" JURIEN DE LA GRAVI ERE, Rear-Admiral,
Commander-in-Chief of the French Expedi-
tionary Forces in the Gulf of Mexico.
" ' On board the Massena, Roads of Teneriffe,
Nov. 23, 1861.

" The Massena sailed from Teneriffe on the 25th Nov.,
en route for La Martinique, where the French squadron
is to assemble before proceeding to the Havannah."

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin, dated December 8, says :

" News of the final results of the elections is coming in
rapidly to Berlin. It proves more and more the complete
defeat of the Feudal party, which will scarcely be repre-
sented in the new Chamber of Deputies. The Clerical party
on the Rhine has also had its ranks considerably thinned.
The Progressist camp still count upon 70 or even 80 returns,
but the majority is with the Liberals. The Prussian Pro-
greesists are not dangerous Democrats, yet the Ifreuz
Zeitung proclaims that Prussia is in danger ; the fact is that
the moderation of the new Chamber will be more disagree-
able to the Feudalists thanwould be Legislative excesses.
"Among the significant results of the elections it is re-
markable that three Ministers the Minister of Public
Worship, M. Bethman-Hollwegh ; the Minister of 'War,
General de Roon ; and the Minister of the King's
Household, M. de Sehleintz —have not been re-elected.
The Liberals have lost against Progressist candidates some
of their Parliamentary notabilities, as MM. Simson, Beseler,
Mathis, Bardeleben, De Schleinitz (the Minister's brother).
As regards the Feudalists, all their leaders have been de-
feated. Never has a political party;been so energetically
denied by a free body of electors. The great loss of the
Liberals is in M. de Yineke, who has declined to come for-
ward as a candidate for a seat in the new Chamber on the
ground that he has taken charge of the education of his
nephews. It is, however, believed that his quarrel during
last session with M. Waldeck, the leader of the Progres-
sist party, and which laid him open to violent attacks from
the Democratical organs has something to do with it. He
will with difficulty be replaced in the Chamber."
