PLACE us in any thing but an enyiable po-
sition. My intelligence on this point is
from foreign sources, and it is to the effect
that the new Emperor of Mexico win be,
not Maximilian of Austria, but member
of the Bonaparte family, and an American
at that, namely: the son of Madame Bon
aparte Miss Patterson) of Baltimore;
that treaty has Just been negotiated ON
the subject between the Emperor Napo-
leon and Mr.. Slidell; that the real mission
of Alexander II. Stephens TO Washington
was to implore Mr. Lincoln to stop the
war, guarantee to the South their rights,
and restore the Union, in order that the
South might Join with the North in vim
dcating the Monroe doctrine; that, when
this last effort on the part Of the South
failed, the latter was convinced Of the
hopelessness Of reunion, and, in order to
secure their independence, ratified this
treaty with Napoleon; that, by its terms,
Napoleon is to acknowledge the independ-
ence Of the South, and is to send French
army of $4,000 troops to cooperate with
the Confederate armies and is to keep that
number Of French troops in the service of
the Confederate States until the war is
over; and that the teritorrial and CONNER

session to pass law, similar to that Of

tea, and many other articles of daily fami-
ly consumption, together with wines and
liquors, has become so common that, if
possible, it should be arrested. In many
cases the deception is so well concealed
that few purchasers know that they are be-
ing imposed upon.
