rRANCO-ITALIAN AND FRANCO.
MEXICAN AFFAIBs.
When Prince Napoleon left Paris recently
TO proceed to Naples, where Victor Emanuel
was circled with fstes and rejOicing', having
Gained the lazzaroni as Rarey does horses, by
gentle means, and rendered their stilettos dull

was nothing politically significant in the VISIT
The Moniteur 80 annouDced-and who would
fail to believe it accordingly
The news however now from Italy is to the
effect that Naples is for the moment the home
of ministers as well as King-aI collected
there to meet the Prince, who is bearer OF
the decision of tho French Emperor. The best
informed persons say that time viii DO posi-
lively stated for the French troops to quit
Rome-Itaian leaders being agreed that their
presence is the only impeachment in the road to
the Just solution Of national difficulties. The
Pope is to be allowed longer lease to pat
his temporalties in order, before surrendering
them. Then there are some minor matters,
such as turning the Ex-Kipg of Naples out OF
Rome and stopping the export OF cutshroats
from the Papal States to Naples.
If this be so, We eau best account for it by
the new phase of French affairs on this CONT
nent. The Paris Press are already specializing
on the acquisition of Peru, Brazil, the lsthmus;
aud perhaps Patagonia will come in for share
of their regards. Thus will French glory and
the main chance be compensated for the loss
Of the long occupancy Of Rome by bayonets-
we do not say Of preponderatng influence.

an outworkng of the business, or the Mexican
Invasion independent OF it. Through the same

We are busy with a continent in arms-a CO.
lossal civil war, over a wild and wooded ter
rtory. that would have appalled, the first Ma
poeon; and now is tho French opportunity to
thunder at the gates OF Mexico: to make
terms and more: to make conquests-to
establish firm foothold. Now ia the time to
WELD the most mobile French force. The pres
emf emperor has achieved what none other did:
in addition to the regular consumption, and
the army of 100000, he has a new conscrip.
ton of lO0 600 men for three-mOnths drill the
first year, aud so forth, on subsequent years,
by which home force is to be created, and
the regular army rendered more disposable
abroad. Then rs to the French na:y: the
same portentous proportions attend ITS growth.
The following is an abbreviated list OF the
itoncgd force immediately disposabc in war:
Four steam iriyates of 9OO-norse power, three
of them carrying SO, one OF them 40 guns. \
corvette of 100 horse power, with IA guns.
Five floating batteries, each of 225hcrse
poser and Il guns. Before the close of this
year France viii have: Three iron-clad ships
of l.000-horsc power and - guns each. Ten
irigates OF I,O00-horse power aud 81 guns
each six corvettcs OF l50-horse power and
II guns each 60 gunboats, iron sheathed, OF
light draughi, aud one ironbeaAod steam ram.
France thus exceeds England in her iron
clad aggressive naval force, and the woodeI
walls have become obsolete in comparison.
