AFreneh Prime Minister.

Nj. Faucher, in speech at Reims, made an
imprudent revelation Of his designs. IT has
been felt to be so by the Bonapartist journals,
which have sought to paliate it, explain it away,
and even to deny the accuracy Of the steno-
graphers who reported it. That he should call
the last revolution 6 an immense disaster" and
remind his hearers aof the hi hit from which
France had fallen into the abyss Of February"
is the only common language of bis present
party, and surprise no one although in fragrant
contradiction with the writings and speeches of
NJ. Faucher in l84s. have now before me 3
letter to his constituents, published in that year
NJ. Faucher shows himself in it not only repub-
lican but possibly demagoguical, not only calling
the last revolution "the moment of the triumph
OF liberty" and declaring government Of uni
versal suffrage the best, but protesting the most
ardent desire "to be the representative of all
the citizens, and of the most humble and most
laborions, in preference to all Others" Add to
this, that he was one of the deputies who signed
the demand of impeachment Of the Guizot min
istry, and contributed to bring about the revolu-
ton he now processes to abhor, and he stands
confessed an apostate. Power seems to have
had upon him its ordinary effect. He permitted
himself to be received at Reims with a salute
of thirteen cannons, and to be escorted through
the streets by strong detachment Of artillery
Even the ministers under the monarchy were
more modest. The important event of his de.
parture was also announced by the discharge Of
cannons M. Fahcher's vanity. and the facility
with which he changes his opinions, give good
reasons to hope that we may see him mex: year

public. We attach less importance to the vio
lence of the present ministry, because Il is com.
posed chiefly of ancient republicans. who will
return to their former convictions as soon as

MEXICAN CAPTvEs REscUEp.-the commits.

Commission has been enabled to rescue several
persons who had been stolen by the Indians
Mexican girl, and two boys-an holds them 10
be restored to their friends. The captives were
bought from the Indians by the New Mexicans
and delivered TO the commissioner, in the hope
of being paid for them. The commissioner re.
fused to buy, but, extended the authority Of the
government for their protection, and has thus
saved them from farther captivity. This is in
accordance with our treaty with Mexico.
The story Of the young captive is quite ro-
mantle. She stated that her name was
"Inez Gonzales, that she was the daughter OF
a merchant Of Santa CHz, in the State OF
Sonora. She was in her fifteenth year. In Sep.
TENDER last she left home in company with her
uucle Leoncis Aldecoa, her aunt and another
female, on visit 10 the great fair Of San Juan,
requiring journey Of about eight days. With
them for protection was guard Of ten soldiers
under an ensign. When one days journey out,
towards the hacienda Of Madalena, ION the
30th Of September, 1850 they were attacked
by a band of Pinol Indians, who overpo wered
them, killed her uncle and the guard, save three
persons, and carried into captivity herself and
female companions, together with boy. She
had been with the Indians ever since. She un.
derstood that the other captives were in New
Mexico, having been brought by party Of New
Mexicans, who made the Indians a visit last
winter, and who said their intention was to set
them at liberty. NO improper freedom was
ever taken, or attempted 10 be taken with her
person. She was, however, robbed Of NIL her
clothing, except a skirt and under linen and
made to work very hard. She spent the whole
period Of her captivity at two Of the regular
rallying spots or grounds Of the Pinols.
