friendly Armtsttce, aud that this dtepach
u based upon the success Of the Seymour
Party In New York. The argumsnt, II !
am rightly informed, is this That the
inevitable negro insurreetiou Of the lst ol
January, which would not only inaugurAts
a terrible epoch Of barbarfsm but would
also destroy the cotton culture, ought tc
be AVerted, il possible, and that the Demo-
cratic Party is an evidence that there ID
a powerful party in the North Willing 70
cooperate with France aud England II
the good work. The Argument is thought
sufficient 70 induce England TO return up
on her decision.
The COHstitutiORRsI, which has been
promising for some days an important az
ticle in explanation Of the aFmistice dis
patch Of Mr.. Drouyn Do L'Huys, PRlishes
this article this morning over the sigma
ture OF "One Of Your Readers, "a sigma
ture which Is believed TO cover the name
Of the Private Secretary Of the Minister.
This document is mild aud almost apollo
getie 10 tone, and il would be difficult TO
draw from II any semblanee Of hostility
toward the United States; il explains in
what consists the "ponderstiOp of forces"
between the two contendiug parties, and
decides that the position. of the National
forces at this moment is worse than It was
y
forces have only conquered tie streets and
houses the whole population mock a. aud
scOrn the army Of occupation. The arti.
Gle terminates with the expression that
under The dTmiStee france teoHld hare Tent
her aid to a TCStOratiOH Of hs UniOH, but
that il IL had been found impossible TO
prevent separation she would have en-
deaVOIed to diminish the evils that would
have attended the separation.
The Steele says that 20 il the most strik-
ing thing in this attempted American negor
tiation Is the joy Of England and Russia in
being able to isolate France in America at
q moment when with her 10000 men in
Mexico and her coquetting With her neigh
Dor Of Mexico, the Southern Confederaey,
she appears 10 be trying to set herself up
as the arbiter of American Affairs.
In his dispatch to the Italian Govern
ment, in reply to the dispatch of Gen. Du-
rando, u. Drouyu de Z 'Huys says that II is
not IN accordance with the general policy
Of the French GoVernment TO exeEcise any
pressure upon foreign Governments. The
same principle, Il Is to be hoped, is to be
applied In America as well as in Earope.
In regard TO Mexico, more troops, It is
said, are about TO be sent out. In the tx
ing Of the budget for the coming year, an
allowance has been made for the payment
Of $4,000 men to carry out the projects,
whatever they may be, OF the Government
In Mexico. But little short of so, 900 of
these men have been sent out, but whether
the rest will be needed or not future deveI-
opments will show. The eonsummation of
men will, as every one knows, be large,
and the French Government believes in
large reserves. Strange reports are in cir
culation in regard TO this large force, and
very many people are of opinion that the
Government really designs lending its aid
to the Southern Coufederacy.
The adjudication of the contract for

Vera Cruz for 2I5 frances the ton. The
number of tons required is 800 at q
total cost of ], 300, 600 francs.
Various reports have been in circula-
tiop for the past fortnight, in regard to .
plot said to have been discovered in
connection with the inauguration by the
Emperor of the new Boulevard du Prince
Eugene There Is reason to believe there
was nothing worse threatened on that
occasion than political demonstration.
