PARIS, June 2t-All probability of COM
bined intervention or offer of mediation on the
part of England and France is gone, and the
prospect of any such absurd proceeding on the
part of tho Emperor alone has also about dis
appeared. a- e @t ssss S.
/ The check which the French troops met be-
fore Pue6la, and which revealed the fact that
they were not to have everything their own
way on their triumphant march to the Mexi-
can capital, has been the means of turning the
attention of the French government, for the
moment at least, away from its other schemes
and concentrating it entirely upon Mexico,
where it is determined "the honor of the
French arms shall be sustained
1t now seems to be pretty definitely set
tied that the command of the new expedition
will be given to General Forsy, and that Ad-
miral Jurien de la Graviere is to return and re-
main in command of the feet upon the Mexi-
can and American coast. The expedition, it
is said is to take its departure in three conveys
composed as follows: To-day (June 24) the
vessels of war, L'Imperial, Commandant Mar
tin, and L'Eylau, Commandant Durand st.
Armand, and the transports T. Finistere and
l. Ariege, viii leave Toulon for Algiers, where
they will embark two battalions of Zouaves,
with a colonel and baL:e, and a squadron of
spahis and a battery of riled cannon. On the
lst OF July the vessels of war lie Soverain,
Comlnandant Knietaud LIE St. Louis, Com
mandant Housswit the steam frigate LIE Lab.
rador, Commandant DAlteyrac, and the
steam transport La Mayenne Commandant
Joubert, will embark at Toulon the goth bat
TALON of chasseurs a-pied, the 5lst and SD of
the line, company of engineers and battery
OF rlfied cannon-all forming eleven superior
officers, one hundred and ten officers, three
thousand nine hundred men and three hun
dred horses. This is brigade which has Just
been relieved at Rome. The third departure
will be on the Sth of July, when the vessels of
war, La Fontenoy, Com. Sawyan; LIE Prince
Jerome, Commandant de Leotard; LIE Fleur-
US, Commandant Beleguie, and La Navarin,
Commandant Jardieu, will leave Toulon for
Oran, in Algerie, where they will embark
about 1900 men and horses. The whole ex-
pedition will thus consist of more than ten
thousand men, two-thirds of whom, it will be
seen, are drawn from the hot region of Alge-
rie, where they are supposed to have been, at
least partially, injured to the kind of weather
they may expect in Mexico in August and
September. # .-.#.s-,i a.s
/ The Patrie, in speaking of the Corwin trea-
ty, synopsis of which is given in the Eng

will understand that such grave matter may
produce enormous complications in Europe,

| A funny incident occurred in the Senate on
Saturday. The Marquis de Boissy called the
attention of tho body to the fact that pla-
card, on which was printed, "Great Attrac-
| ton" was posted over the dead walls of Lon
den, and in the course of his remarks,
| in which he stated this fact as
an exhibition of the i'll feeling of England
against France he charged the government of
the former with perfdy and bad faith in its
course upon the Mexican question. The
j cream of the joke is that the placard is only
an advertising dodge of some astute show
man or clothing yender, who took advantage
| of the excitement in relation to Mexico to call
attention to his wares.
1t is said that Slidell is beginning to be
afflicted with the same malady which troubled

an epidemic among the secessionists in Paris
When he came here he expectedto to be "recog-
