/ The Consul General Of France, La Forct.
Il From VrRA CRUz.-By the British sloop
II of.war Modesto, Eyres commander, arrived
last evening from Vera Cruz, and days from
Il Havana, VIC learn that the British squadron
had sailed, and that the French squadron
would leave in day or two. The merchant
II vessels had commenced dlscllarging their
cargoes.
4 The news had already been confirmed by
arrivals both at Charleston and Havana.
Il The French Consul nt New Orleans re-
h ccvcd on The 2lst, despatch from Admiral
II Bau'lin of n similar nature to the above.
H Tho English minister signed the treaty rs
one of the parties, and il was expected that
the English feet before Vera Cruz would
i Immediately sail for Europe, its object being
accomplished. Since sailed.
Il We are told that the whole Mexican popu-
ation approved of the treaty that was made
II in November, which formed the basis of the
one now adopted.
II The Mexicans at Vera Cruz were much
II pleased with the treaty, and public rcjoicings
IN consequence thereof took place on the
evenings Of the 9tb and 10Th.
Il We also learn from Vera Cruz that Tho
Il blockade of that port wns raised on the 9lh
instant, and that tho various merchant ves-
sells are discharging their cargoes. We
congratulate the mercantile community on
this welcome news.
The New Orleans Bulletin of the Odd says:
England, we arc told, has become a party
to the treaty. II was signed by the British
Minister Packcnham, who, in the name Of
his government, became security for the pay
mcnl of the French indemnify. Thus is
England bound for six hundred thousand
dollars in behalf Of her bankrupt protege,
which no doubt she will be called upon to
pay. All the slipulations Of the convention
have not transpired.
| The outlines of the treaty, rs published in
the New Orleans I.ousianian Of the 22d,
correspond with wha. has already been pub
Iishcd in the New York papers. The Sd and
last article says:
The general commanding tho advance
guard of the army, binds himself 10 give the
necessary orders that French consignccs and
owners Of merchandise, imported INTO Vera
| Cruz by virtue of the preceding articles, ns
well rs the persons appointed to conduct
their business, may rcmovc into and reside
in said city during the space of time above
mentioned.
The New Orleans Bee Of the 22d gives
letter from Vera Cruz, dated the oh. Itsays
IL seems that all the terms have been nc
ceplcd as was demanded at the first captu-
la,ion, and the admiral has stipulated that al
the expenses of the war, of The Frcnchinen
bnnishcd under The decree of expulsion,
should be reimbursed and that the Mexican
government should grant to the latter an
indemnity of $2C0GC0. This latter clause
was adjudged by a neutral nrbitcr appointed
for that purpose, who is supposed to be En-
gland. Such nj least is The opinion OF all
well informed persons. This is almost posi-
lively certain, though il lacks official au-
thentici,y, and can only be asccrtuincd on
the return of the messenger.
i 1t appears certain that Admiral Baudn hns
] reserved The privilege OF approprin,ing all
The pieces of cannon in bronze marked Louis
XIV. Some have been already Transported
on board the udmral's frgalc.
| ASTONISHING CAsE--fOR TuE pOCroRs.
On Saturday, August ~, 1897, liltlc girl,
named Jane, aged 3 years, daughter of Mr..
Sicarns, who resides within thirty rods of the
Railroad Depot ut Lynn, accidentally drank
few swallows of potash water, which in.
jured her stomach so much that she has taken
no solid nonrishmcrt since. She has occa-
sIonally drank little milk, but for largo
portion al the time she has subsistcd only on
water. And often she has passed whole
weeks without even drinking that. The
longest time she has gone without anything
passing into her stomach is twenty one days.
