The Mexican Q.estio.,

The following extract from the Paris CORE.
spondence Of the London Time, written on the
10Th OF July, shows that the real designs Of the
Emperor Napoleon against Mexico are so well
understood in Paris as to be the subject Of pub.
lie comment:
1t was reported, very soon after the news
OF the surrender of Mexico, that tho country
would be taken possession OF by the French
and declared dependency Of the Crown OF
France. and that NJ. Hubert Delisle, member
of the Senate, would be sent out as Imperial
Commissioner to organize new government
denial has been given. On authority, to the
missiou OF NJ. Delisle, but nothing has been
said with reference 70 the rumored annexation.
Il know for certain that the French Govern.
ment Intended to make overturee, as soon az
Mexico should fall, to Spain and England to
cooperate with IL, 10 the somewhat arduous
task OF settling that country and introducing
order in the finances. l cannot say whether
formal propositions have as yet been made to
England, but l learn that they have been at
Madrid for that purpose.
"lf we may Judge from the language of such
oil The Madrid press habitually support the
Government, II 10 likely that these overtures
Will meet with favorable attention. Spain,
as the Epocd observes, is Of all countries tn,
most interested in cooperating In fransforma
ton phieh 10 about TO be Effected In a countr,
uaNihk so Huch auiuity 70 our own; ana tner
is reason to suppose that the Spanish Govern
ment will soon have occasion to make its goo,
offices prevail on behalf of the honor and in
forests Of our country"
The Transformation, of which this Madri,
Journal speaks, has come in . more decidet
form than these preliminary hints indicated
but that Napoleon intended t. secure bis foot
hold in Mexico was so obvious result that ths
sudden declaration Of the empire by Forey and
his servants of the Church party was not an
event to create surprise. The Spanish uegotia.
tions, which would have taken place under
other circumstances, will probably be heard OF
no more. Napoleon, having gained his point,
viii be slow to relinquish the advantage which
the traitors Of Mexico place in his hands; and
caring no more for the opinions Of England and
Spain than for the silent Government Of this
country, will pursue his scheme until 1t begins
to interfere with that tremulous "balauce of
power" in Europe, which IN ally asserts its
supremacy

An Interesting Billiard Point settled.
Recently some assessors have construed the
Internal Revenue law so rs to require tax Of
fifteen dollars each upon billiard tables used
for hire, whereas the law directs that tables for
hire shall pay five dollars, and tables for pri-
vate use ten dollars-tho design being to make
the rich pay for their private luxuries of this
sort at higher rate than the workman pays
for the tools Of his trade. To-day Mr. phclan,
tho celebrated billlard.table manufacturer,

each, and ne more; This is evidently the

A Coon AND BEAUTIFUL IDEA.-We perceive
that Governor Curtin Of Pennsylvania, has hit
upon the happy thought OF buying some ten or
field Of Gettysburg, as cemetery for the heroes
who there laid down their lives that the nation
might live. This beautiful idea we hope will
bc fully carried out, including special division
Of the field to the soldiers OF each state con-
nected with the army of the Union, and a ma
tional obeisk on Cemetery Hill, with the names
engraved upon 1t Of every regiment, and with
a book inside containing the name, state, regi-
ment and company of oyery~seldier In those
three days battles, and In the outside incidental
operations. We are glad TO be assured at the
same time that the Union soldiers of this war
who have died on other fields will not be for
gotten, but that in some suitable way the Gov
ernment will preserve their names for the re-
mem6ranee of a grateful posterity.
