Affairs in Mexico.

Official dispatches have been received
from Vera Cruz confirming the newspaper
account Of victories for the liberals.
The advices received there from England,
favorable to the recognition Of the Juarez
government, W hich is expected soon to take
place, have, together with President Buchan-
ans recommendation relative to Mexican
affairs, heightened the hopes Of the Liberals
Of complete success, and produced a CORES
ponding depression among the reaction
lists. Tine Mexican Cabinet however, do not
think it viii become necessary to call for the
aid of American troops in the contingency
suggested by Mr.. Buchanan.
A number of military men have written to
Washington as to the truth of the report
that the Juarez government has invited
volunteers from the United Sta ties, but there
is no official or any other authority to
sustain it, nor would they be accepted with
cut the concurrence of our government The
armed men who have gone, and Others who
are preparing to go South, may have other
schemes 10 view, or be in expectation OF 4
call for their services in Mexico.
AS the protest OF MIR. McLane against tue
Tacubaya massacre met with no response
from Miramon, so the protest OF the latter
against the recognition of the Juarez goyern-
ment will receive no official notice from Our
own.
The official advices from Vera Cruz nlea-
ton nothing about the coming OF the French
and Spanish fleets. Looking to toe present
unsettled condition Of Europe, no iHterier-
enoe from that quarter is apprehended. As
the report emanated from the French Lega-
ton, as did the former one, it is looked upon
here as part Of the policy of Gabriac (the
French minister to en 1S the reaction
A curious state Of affairs in the City OF
Mexico is noticed. Formerly only pr0mi-
nent liberals were In prison there, but no~
ultra reactioniSts are similarly punished
owing to their respective political opinions.

Remarkable Presence Of Mind.--The fol
lowing incident, connected with the recent
burning of the Western Female College, at
Oxford, Ohio, is related by correspondent
of Cincinnati psper:
The escape of Miss Salie L. Moore, from
the college is unparalleled for daring, and
seems almost miraculous. She r0omed in
the fifth story, and returned the second time
10 her room for some books. On opening her
door she discovered that the hall was dense
With smoke, and the stairway was in flames,
and all means OF exit in that direction hope
less. Closing her door, she deliberately tore
the bed clothing into strips, knotted them
firmly together, and, tying them to her bed
post, she hopefully stepped from her window
and made successful descent to the ground,

France.
The instructions of Mr.. Faulkner, Minis
ter to France, having been completed, he
left yesterday for his home in Virginia;
thence he will proceed to New York, with
his family, and sail for Europe in few days
Judge Mason, at the time of his death, was
earnestly endeavoring to procure certain
changes and notifications in the treaty OF
commerce negotiated between our govern
ment and France in 1922, and which it is
well known operates upjustly and unequally
towards our citizens, and which could, with
out doing injustice to either, be made to
work more reciprocally. The duty on to-
bacco is not only heavy, but burdeus9me,
and ought to be reduced. Frequent efforts
to this end have heretofore been made, and
they will undoubtedly again be renewed and
strongly urged by our Minister.
