! The Times furnishes the following summary
! OF its correspondents speculations:
1.-The commotion created oy the Emperor,s
| conversation with Messrs. Roeburk and Lind
cay: OF the Engiish Parliament, and the expla-
nations TO which this event has given RISE ha va
crt ated the conviction in Paris that the F.mpe-

essential. He wants control of the cotton aud

The rulnors in Paris on this subject, there
lore, imply that he has engaged 10 aid the
rebels III reopening the Mississippi river, and
that TINS service is to be the basis of Il future
arrangement by which he will retain Mexico
as french colony-teIng aided in so doing by

large supply of artillery, are to be sent out to
Mexico during the month of September They

intended must remain as yet matter OF con-
lecture.

taken in connection with paper prepared by
the Frenc residents of New Orleans and trans
mitted by them to the Emperor, suggests posi-.
bilities in the future which may very well en-.
list the notice Of our government and people
The French citizens residing in New Orleans
have represented to the Emperor, through his
vice consul at that port, that the action of the
United States authorities there tends to bring
ahcut collision between the blacks and the
whites Of that city-that in the event of such a
conflict their persons and properties would be
seriously endangered, and that the United
States commander in chief Of that department
has taken from them all the arms with which
they could defend themselves; they, therefore
request that the Emperor will send to the Mis-
sissippi several vessels of war for such action
as the emergency may require.
