LETTER FROM JuAREz-Thc following is

Juarez to gentleman in San Francisco;
Dear Friend; Some time had elapsed

you until last week, when your ever-wel.

sure you that we in Mexico, in the midst
of the unhOly war waged against US by the
despot who rules France cannot help feel.
ing that the troubles which still exist in
the republican colonies of the United
States may soon be brought to a close, and
that the States may all be united in one
confederation, as itexisted before the pre-
sent rebellion The notices you sent in re.
gard to the capture Of Vicksburg and the
opening of the great highway of the Mis-
Sssippi river will no doubt still further
strengthen and unite the Government, as
we'll as the successful movements of Gen.
eral Banks on the Rio Grandc, All these
will tend to shorten the rebellion.
Our hopes, as | said before, are for the
speedy termination of your civil war and
the complete restoration Of the Union, for
with it no doubt many an American soldier
will soon join u.s. for thepurposc ofdriving

the French, with their designs Of establish

that if the United States had not been en-
gagged in their present struggle, no Euro
pean potentate would ever have attempted
to strike blow against republican institu
tons. But as we are, with Gods help W.
will try and defend our beloved Mexico.

The conquest Of Mexico is not what Ma
Pt LEON would call ,n .Jait Gcc0mpH. That
country, at this moment, presents the curious
spectacle OF a nation whose territories have
been taken possession of, and over whom po-
Iitical rule has been assumed by a foreign
archdulIe, while the invaders have not yet
overcome, either by force or Cancellation, the
people they propose to dominate and govern.
The French forces have met with certain
successes in their engagements with TIE
Mcxicans, and a particular faction of the
native population, with whom religion is
more potential than any political or purely
patriotic considerations. have joined the
French, and co-operated with them in the
Inhalation of MACMILLAN as the Emperor
OF Mexico. But in spite Of these facts, and
the recent formal occupation by the Austrian
Duke Of his new Empire, Mexico is not yet con-
quered, and unless we very much misealculate
the possibilities of the future, there may be
some serious doubt whether it will be by the
present conspirators against its liberty and
independence.
II is no easy matter to destroy a nation
against its consent. A people, however few
In numbers and feeble in resources, but who
are proud of their national integrity and
heroie enough to defend it, are often able to
resist successfully the most formidable effort
TO subjugate them, and this is particularly
true where, as In the case we are discussing
the Power attempting the work of subjuga-
tion acts fron base Of operations as distant

MILAN finds himself now. He has entered
Mexico on the heels Of the French army AMI

MACMILLAN, since his Inauguration, has
been very industrlously employed In efforts TO
render the people submissive to his usurpation,
and his principal action In this direction has
consisted In seeking conferences with the
leading public men in Mexico, and 20 operating
on their cupidity and ambition as to seduce
them from their allegiance 10 their country,
and fidelity to their own honor, and convert
them into his subservient partizans. He re-
Gently invited General JUABEz, President of
the Mexican Republic, and now commanding
the patriotic army to meet him with a view to
compose satisfactorily TO both the pending
political difference. But a letter from JUAREz,
in reply TO that request, is not only highly
creditable to its author, both on account Of its
dignfed tone and decided sentiments, but II
settles very conclusiyely the fact, that apower-
ful Mexican party, led by JUAREz, intend to
resist, to the bitter end, the establishment of
MAxnuIIAN's usurped rule.
JUAREz tells him, substantially, that he is
but titled robber; that his pretence Of coming
to Mexico to assume imperial control Of It at
the request Of the Mexican people is q
ridiculous ialsehood; that as MAMMALIAN is
only the agent or puppot OF LOUIS NAPo-
LEON, who is notoriously corrupt, unscrupu-
lous, and dishonest, any promises or engage
ments he can or may make to the Mexican
people cannot safely be trusted; that his dis
