The American War and the Mexican
plicatton.

From the London Post { overnment organD I J
The smouldering fires of the American
war seem kinding again into blaze. Ii
as reported, Fort Sumter has been entire
ly destroyed while the federal feet was
preparing to move up the harbor, and Gen.
Lee largely reinforced, was preparing for
another Invasion of the North" the cap
ture of Charleston by the federalists, and
a move on Washington by the COntederates
may be simultaneous events. Should Char
lesion fall, the predictions Of the South
that their Zoe would only find himself 10
po>s. 5sion of heap of ruins, will be tul-
nIied. Fort Sumter, as We learn, had
been entirely destroyed already, although
it bad not surrendered, and no doubt be-
fore they surrender, Forts Moultrie, Gregg,
johnson, and the rest, will share the same
fate. On the lst ult the Northern be
siegers threw "shells charged with Greek
fire into Charleston City This was con
tinued on the I'd. Genaral Gilmore, says
The telegrapbic despatch, 'is trying to
burn Charleston with Greek tire" Civil
ians with their families were leaving the
town in continuous stream. But the
Confederate garrison will not bulge an
inch. The soldiers TO whom the defence
of the place is entrusted, die, but make no
sign Of hInching. On the
other hand, the North tells US of itself that
the conscription in New York is going on
bri,kly, under the auspices of au army
yairously estimated at from thirty TO fifty
thousand federal soldiers. which it seems is
considered by the free and popular govern
meut of the United States ind pc asa6ly
neces sary to keep the peace and prevail
upon the citizens to volunteer for The im
practicable AID impossible object Of restor
ing by a war OF determination, voluntary
Uoion based on consent; and, ssif these
troops were not sufficient TO inspire The
citizens with patriotic ardor and rouse
their tagging zeal, several gunbpals With
cannon levelled at the city, steam up and

MAXIMILIAN-THE FRENCH PAMPHLET IN
spIIEp BY THE coNFsDERATE REBEL
AGENTS
To the Chevalier Pamphlet Official.
Paris Sept g. Correspondence of London News.
The pamphlet, of which sent long an.
alysis on Thursday, is we'll described by the
Independence as "a heap Of contradictions:
erroneous assertions, false notions, adven
turous prognostics, ana incoherent political
views" Nevertheless, it has made SO much
sensation in Paris that the Pays has been
ordered to relieve the government from the
responsibility of it by the following gingerly
declaration:-We have read this pamphlet.
We donot think it possible to attribute il
to any official origin Moreover, we have
not remarked in il any new view, and it
does nqs appear to US to deserve the noise
which has been made about it,"
1t is worth while 10 observe how care
fully the PGgs ahstains from inficting a
single word Of blame upon the doctrines OF
the pamphlet, which advocates the recognl-
tion of the South as a necessary compile
ment of the conquest of Mexico. All that
the PAYS objects to is that unnecessary SEN
satlon las been made by arguments which
are mot new" and which the Pays would
insnuate are SO true that no one thinks Of
disputing them The factis that the pamph
let, whoever may be its author, does accu-
rately represent the wishes, at least, If not
the designs, of the French Emperor. 70.
bust faith in the Sonora mines, as an mex
haustible source of wealth, is SAID to have
possession of the mind of the sovereign,
who, we are told (and most justly teld) by
the amphlet, is personally responsible for
the Mexican expedition. II has been re.
ported on the Bourse that at some Of the
recent ministerial councils M. Fould and
VI RDuAer ventured to say very energet-
icsliy thai the mines in the eyes OF men OF
business were not worth sixpeuce as Sc
curity. Their unromantlc opinions. how
ever, were overruled, and, inasmuch as
France is to stand surety, the subscribers tc

selves about the validity Of the principal
pledge,

the laboring classes generally, the feeilng
was altogether in our favor.
WHe brought back with him q collec-
ton Of handbills and great posters
printed at the Offices Of the penny pa

working men. One Of these bills was
headed by an immense woOd-sut rep
