this we're the relatives Of the deceased,
and then long van Of carriages filed
With friends, distinguished strangers, and
members Of the Odd Fellows too feeble to
walk.
There were, probably, three thousand
persons in the procession, which, Rs it
passed along various streets, was Witnessed
by thousands Of spectators. A very large
number Of persons went out to Green
Mount Cemetery, where the mortal remains
were deposited, with due form and ceremo-
ny in the Old Fellows let 1t was the
largest cortege Of its kind we have ever
had in Baltimore, giving evidence OF the
respect and love borne by his friends and

seldom bestowed"
Intervention iE DiexicO.---The French Ex-
pedliiOH.
A private correspondence Of the Patrie
gives some details OF the organization of the
French naval force to be dispatched to the
COST Of Mexico. The ships Of war ordered
for this expedition are the steam-trigates
Gusrrisrs, (6tting at Brest PAstrie, from
Lorient, and FArdsats, (irom Bresb) a
steam corvette from Rocheiort) and the cut
ter Mar1sz,iz iron Cherbourg.) Admiral
Jurien de Lagraviere, who will command the
squadron, viii hoist his flag on board fhe
GuerTierG, which is being prepared as quick
y as possible.
The appointment of Admiral de Lagra-
Were is announced by decree in the Non
ifeir, which also confirms the other state
nents Of the Patis
TheParis correspondent of the Tia:s, writ
ting on the 10th, says:
Tho next thing in hand seems a confer
ence shout Mezcian affairs, to which, besides
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister
of Marine, Admiral de Lagraviere, destined
for the command of the squadron, and the
Spanish Ambassadors are to assist. This
seems to indicate that the joint interference
in Mexico has still some chance Of succeed
ing. The Spanish Ambassadors were always
favorable to common action"
(From the London Times, Oct. IL
The Spanish Government are actively pre-
pairing for sea the naval force that is to act
on the coast of Mexico in conjunction with
the English and French squadrons. The
force viii consist Of four screw frigates, the
two newly built ships Of war, {Haldad and
Concepcione,) two large steamers, and six
other vessels of lighter draft. The squadron
viii be commanded by Yice-Admiral Rubal-
eaba. The number Of troops to be disem-
baTked in Mexico is about 5000, Of whom
5000 are from Cuba. The Government has
left to Gen Ssrrano the nomination of COM
msnder Of the Cuban contingent expedition
expected to sail from a Spanish port towards
the end Of the present month.
lFrom the Brussels Nord
Whilst everything tends in Europe to
draw closer Governments and States, the
Spanish Government persists in maintaining
itself in naughty isolation, and in continuing
on its own account the preparation against
Mexico. The Ministry, says our Madrid cor
respondent wishes to produce an impression
on public opinion, and TO occupy it for a time,
30 as to be able without risk TO evacuate Te-
tusn. The squadron destined to convey the
troops Of embarkatiOn is to consist Of four
teen vessels, six Of them screw frigates, and
wiz sail towards the end Of month.
