The following is from Washing
ton correspondent Of the N. I. Her
add:
Since the French steamer GasSen
di, with the French Minister, return
cd to this port iIom Norfolk, it has
leaked OUT that the mission OF NJ.
MERCER was for the purpose OF open
ing preliminary negotiations with
the rcbei ConleJeracy III regard TO
Mexican affairs.
IL is alleged that the French Gov
ernmcnt proposes to acknowledge
the rebel Conlederacy, and gpsran-
ice to its interpretation TO bring
about peace poacoabiy ii she can,
lorcibly n she must,) provided that
Davis q Co., viii agree to non-inter-
ference with them Eerpetaally in
any measure she mayNta2e iUr the
su0jugation OF Mexico and making
it a dGj ,ondoucyot France. Certain
territorial lines have been named as
the boundary line between The two
new governments, allowing the reb-
o. Cohiederacy considerable slice
more than She now covers by her
arms.
II is said that Davis likes the
proposition as far as it goes, and is
wiling to send the Monroe doctrine
to tho dogs; but it is said that he
will enter into no negotiations with
any government uniess they guar
anree 20 him the territory OF the
new C0hlodoracy comprised IN all
the slave States. Thus the matter
stands--Dayis is to consider the
Froneh PROF osition, end vice verse.
Itis said that among the French
propositions is one requiring the
Southern Contederaey to furnish a
certain number OF troops TO assist
in eonquaring Mexico. The expen-
ses OF wish are to be borne by the
French Governments. There is a
deal OF plausability in tbs state
ment, and The manner in which the
visit was made, and the secrecy at
taohed to it, at least should makeus
suspicious'as TO its nature.
