IRtes cEtfnS Intercepted Corresponds
&nCEe


tFfon the n. r. Times.1
Through a semi otii8ial channel, we have
been pitced in Possession Of the utli:faf cor
risrondetce recently exchanged between the
Minister Ct Foreign Affairs, With Reference to
the thni5hment il The early part OF last
month, bJ The Mexican government Of the
F1ercb banker, ,.Jtcser, aud s:1 otner Fscnch
inbIects who bad BEEN suspected in aetive
corfeEpuntsIce not only 1itt the friends
of Intervention in France, but With the
chiefs IF the FreEch Army advancing on the
capital.
slIange to Fly, this correspondence Is
opened By note bearing the signstg'e OF tag
ic Corps, ard who, in this instance, Seems to
have been specially charged with the protec-
ton Of Of the agents OF French Intervention in
| Mexico.
TIE motives for this act vwe are utterly at. a
| loss to couceiTe Flance, In her proceedings
| against Mexico, las plainly violated every
! prir cfpte which requisites the dealings Of on3
| nation with another, according to the reeoE-
| nized eodea Of international law. For this
| reason Mexico wo1ld clearly be absolEed tson
any restraint under those laws in her treat
ment, under present circumstances, of French
| subjects. But the question is not Of Such VIZ
1ation On The part Of Mexico in the present
instance. TIE French subjects now blnshed
| neutrality which from the moment hoatllls,es
| were commenced by their country against
Mexico, became their strict duty, 50 long a.
they remained in the Republic
It is difficult, therefore, to see upon what
ground the foreign diplomatic corps Of Mex
leo, and much less the American Minister,
could base any action of the nature OF pro-
test against the expulsion OF French subjects
from Gesieo st q time when an army OF Sc, 600
Frsnclmen were marching upon the Rational
capital with the aFo#ed purrose OF overtime r.
ing the government Of the Republic, and Of
| tskiuE possession Of the country in the name
Of the French Emperor. And still less is this
evident when the banishnent Is confined to q
few individuals, and those persons uotoriouB1y
Known 10 be actively working in behalt Of the
success ct the French throne
AL the world roW knows that the French
banker and speculator, JecEer, has b=ea the
seu1 ct Intervention IL Mexico, aud that the
. great, prime moving moment in tifst getting
This intervention unG4r way in Francs, Was
the immense speculation knoWnas the Jeckel

Aside IRON the overwhelming proof whicl
