LoSDos, Sept. l0.-The Paris correspondent
Of the London Times, writing on the French
occupation Of Mexico, says: rrs,. o o.
The Federal Government may as yet have
taken no 0fiicial steps In the matter, but mn.
merous private lstters from America express
the strong classification felt at the proceedings
In Mexico, and conviction that the Govern
ment at Washington reckons on not allowing
the arrangements that have been made to re-.
main long as they are, without very serious
notice being taken Of them. The position the
French Government finds itself In is difficult
and delicate one, and you MY depend that
Mexican affairs are at this moment the princi-
pal subject of its thoughts aud anxiety.''
The Times has leader In answer to letter
from correspondent, who contends that the
two iron Slads In the Mersey supposed to be for
the Confederates should be seized. The Times
remarks in reply:
the ministers defend these vessels, VIC do
not think they would be justified In doing so.
But the question entirely depends on evidence
which can only be known hereafter. Legal
proofs are still wanting"
The Times concludes:
"After all, perhaps our correspondent Ia
simply expressing desire, which we have
doubt Is pretty generally felt, that the Govern.
ment would cut the vexatious knot by OBTAINING
the two steam rams and trusting the case TO Z
trial. However, that Is q matter for the Gov.
ernment itself to consider. II ls q very COM
mon belief that these two vessels, whatever the
orders on which they were originally laid down,
whstever nation they may be Immediately
passed to, are In the end destined for the SER
Vice of the Confederate States against the Fed
erals.
eft ls the universal and general impression.
II we were In the position Of the Federals and
had suffered as they have from the operations
OF suchvcssels, we should he unlikely to take
the matter quietly"
The Morning Herald denounces the Govern
ment for interfering with the steam rams In the
Mersey, and refuses 70 believe the statement Of
the Post, that they are detained on mere suspi-
cion. The British foreign Anti Slavery Society
memorializes Earl Russell to stop the vessels
on anti-slavery ground. The Pharede Ia Loire
says two clipper steamers building at Nantes
and two at Bordeaux arc suspected OF being In
tended for the ConfederAtes.
The Paris correspondent of the Morning Her.
aid repeats the asseitio that the recognition
Of the South and defensive league between
The Confederate, French and Mexican Govern
ments are both decided on.
