be sent to Mexico as representative of
the Southern Confederacy, in order to
prepare the way for an offensive and de-
fensive alliance between the Emperor of
that country and the Government of
Richmond. tits said that this gentleman
has received Instructions for the imme-
date recognition of the future empire
of Mexico, in return for which it is hoped
that his majesty wIll be led to recognize
the Southern Goniederacy
Mr. Robert M L. Hunter is now at
Paris, where he was sent nearly two
months ago by bis government, with
special mission to the Emperor of the
French. The principal object of his visit
is, however, to act conformity with Mr..
Slidell in all matters appertaining to the
Mexican question TO give his support to
the action of France, Austria, England,
or Spain, having the defeat of the Mon.
