We have now to present the French Minister, the
Baron de Cyprey, TO our readers, in new difficulty
the Baron has not made himself eminent as a dip
lomatst he has nevertheless gained for himself the
reputation Of being fighting man.
1t appears that, on the night of the Both Of Sep
tember the Baron was at the theatre in Mexico, as
was also lawyer Of the name Of Ortero. While
the latter was coming out Of his box, the Baron
went up to him and observed that he had word to
say to him; TO which the lawyer replied, "as many
as you please, air." The minister then called
French gentleman, whom he wanted to act as in.
terpreter. "Ask Mr.. Otero," said he, "whether he
is the author of the editorials in the SigIo Dez "
Nuepej to which Mr.. Otero replied, that he did not
feel disposed TO give him any answer. The ques-
ton being repeated and similar answer returned,
the Baron Immediately hit the lawyer with his
cane; and then the lawyer struck the Baron with
HIS tiiC lhcu SPIT iuSc VI Otc-
70, and Mr.. Otcro did ditto to the minister.
1t was very pretty quarrel as it stood; but, at
this part of the performance the beligeren.s were
separated not, however, without the Baron tell
ing the lawyer shat If he ioanied any Satisfaction,
he kneo ,chere he the Baron) Tired" This rencontre
created great excitement throughout the city Of
Mexico-so much so, that the government placed
ard before the house Of the French minister, in
order to defend his person and his property. Moth
ing however, occurred to disturb the peace Of the
city.
The next day, the government sent polite note
to the Baron, which informed him that as he had
received his passports, in compliance with his re-
quest, and there no necessity for his remaining
in the republic any longer he would be pleased to
leave the city within three Days. Thus, then, the
Baron de Cyprey has second time brought HIM
self into notoriey. The first affair was at the Baths
of Las Delicias, which may become government
question: the latter, however, is entirely personal
matter, with which France will not interfere.
We do not find any intelligence of the movement
of the troops; indeed, the Vera Cruz papers
