TIE JUAREz GOVERNMENT IN MExIo0.-H
seems to have been we'll understood In Europe
that Juarez would withdraw his troops from
the Mexican capital, and that he would fall
back upon the mining regions, which he would
defend to the, last, the object In 20 doing
being to weaken the French and cause them to
spread out their troops The latest advioss
from Mexico prove that such was the design Of
Juares, who had. with all his available forces,
left the city Of Mexico and taken up strong
positions at San Luis de Potosi and Guadala-
lara. He thus commands the mining regions;
and, as the French wish to work tho mines and
draw from them their revenues, Q struggle
between the Mexioans and their invaders must
soon take place. Whether the intrigues Of the
clerical party in Mexico may not defeat the
plans Of Juarez remains to be seen. The pro-
liabilities are, however, that the definite battle
between the French and the Mexicans d yet TO
take place. Without having possession Of
the mines the French will find It almost impos-
sible to draw from Mexico the resources they
count upon, while to obtain the control Of the
mining regions they must first defeat the large
and well appointed armies which Jusrez has
posted at the above named places. re
There can exist but little doubt that in the
course Of time the French will succeed In
mastering the Mexicans. owing to their unfor-
tunate dissensions; but ere they accomplish
this they will have to battle long and well.
To Americans the result Of the French invasion
Of Mexico b fraught with the deepest interest.
as it must be apparent to all that sooner or
later collision between the people Of this
country and France must ensue Is its inevitable
consequence. We never can allow the French
to take possession Of SO large sportion Of this
continent; and IL we cannot persuade them to
leave the New World by fair means we shall
have to drive them away by force. There can
be no other alternative. e~1a T
The RISE IN THE PRICE OF Spectators
taking advantage of the cessation of work in the
Pennsylvania coal mines, consequent upon the
rebel raid, have combined to raise the price Of
coal, although it is well known fact that the
coal crop is larger this year by half million
tons than it was last year. In Boston coal has
risen four dollars per ton; here the price has
also augmented. This is produced by the eager
ness of the public to lay in supply. There
can be no doubt that coal will be lower as soor
as the rebels are driven out of Pennsylvania.
It should be matter Of constant concern to
tie authorities that our poorer classes may gel
full weight when they purchase coal. 1t is said
that in many instances only eighteen hundred

IN Europe, ana especially in Paris, the police
are ever most vatehe.,- A. ---a- nj. '
without previous warning, cause passing load
of coal or wood TO be weighed and if short con
fiscate the whole load. Sach system adopted
here would be great safeguard for the masses
