VIII le they 30 a. voluntarily, and ON the ground
that they have been deceived by the reactionary
le lderS OF prosecution Of the invasion OF TINS
! country lv France on scale that must soon
lead u complications with the United States.
Which ,vav tic sphinx that SITS in the IuI.leTieS
will dec:d-. is now the question. The belief
here or the part of the secretary OF foreign at
fai-r. Gen. Doblado, and the President, and
wlioh b,lief is par,ici pated in By pr badly most
OF The leading men, is that the Emperor will
throw " Saligny aud The Jecker bond business
overheard, and will withdraw from further
measures sf force against this people, while he
can still do 50 in manner that wiz nos only
retain that strong hold upon the symplthies Of
the Mexican people which France has always
had but will also secure u her a still larger
need of gratitude than has been awarded to
| Euglan and Spain, and particularly the latter,
/ for their recent honorable course.
The argument used here, that the bubble Of
roaction6ry influences in this cIuntIy has now so
completely burst, that the emperor will hesitate
lorg before entering upon a serious expedition
1 Of conquest, which the war must now beccme,
aud hist he IS stii more likely to so hesitate in
view OF the changed state Of EFF ,irs in the sed
/ States, Is one that, from the information that
during the course Of the Intervention thus far
has gune abroad, must present to the mind Of
| every one
Thus f.r the Ms1icsns have only repellsd
! force by force, aud have acte solely upon tie
! defensive. This peiicy viii not be departed from

Such Is tie present situa ion Of airs here
with reerene c 10 the al engrOssing subject-the
gu invasion All await with anxiety the
further ac iou of ths emperor Of the French
Probably no further mlVemsUt here viii be
msde until news of tbs eau b, received. The
eff c. of me sf ,ir OF Puebla, aud the retreat OF
The F.ench, h.s been TO create the most uu-
bounded enthusiasm and COZ idence throughout
lhs republic ami what might have been almost
an easy conquest before, is now, by this chang
feeling, rendered imposs hls. Opposition to tn"
government doas not exist in any part OF the re-
public, except among the smal! Teictonary
bands united ". tn the French.
On the 9th ult q treaty was sgnei al
Puebla by S.r Charles Wyke and Capt. Daulop,
commissioners on the lrt of + lgIani, aad Gen
d blad., secretary of foreign affairs, represent
ing the Mexican .vernm ut. Is was immedi-
ste'y IL IA d by Z. esdsnt Jua-ez, in virtue OF
.h3 Y ra0TdinaTy powers which congress con-
feTTed upon h at the last session, and was a
once dispatched to England. This conventio
differs very materially from the Wyk, Il imG-
coma treaty, which was ri cted last n November
by tn Mexican cohgress, in that it entirely
leaves out the Objectionable ature OF llterven-
ton in the customEouses, which then caused is
rejection
Now that Sir Charles at last sees that it is for
the interest of England to sustain the Constitu
ional government in this country, his
tone is Quite diff rent from thss he assumed a
few shor! months ago, when he was seeking
pTetexts for breaking with this country. and v as
thus playing dire. tly into the hands OF tic |
French minister, aud he is now much less deter
mined to put impossible terms into bis treaties
Thare IS oLe feature Of the present convention,
lowevrr, which comes with a peculiarly bad /
grace fl, IN bin now. sfer having al that time !
,c3rned the liberal ffes Of the Uaited States to
assume thu psyment of the interest on the entire |
u xicsn debt to Eug land. Il appears he las
now forced tue Mexican government to stiFula
that one quarter of sill the money that may be |
received from the United States und.r the treaty
la.ely negotiated by Mr. Corwin, shall be pad
sver on account of English claims. RImoT has
| l. that Mr. CoTwin hes favored this arrangement,
| but this can hardly be possible, for Englsn
