THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT AND THE HOS

The President sent message to the Senate on Mon

The FRENCH VIEW or THE MEXICAN
QUESTION.

We have already given comprehensive view OF
tho question raised by the French invasion OF
Mexico as that question is treated from the Anne
rican standpoint in the diplomatic correspondence
OF the Department of State. To this we now have
the of adding the aspect assumed by this sane
question as regarded by intelligent statesmen IN
France from the different point of observation taken
by them in consderDgi purely as question OF their
domestic policy. And it will be seen that the con-
illusions to which they have been brought by CON-
siderations of this kind strongly oorroborative
of the prudential policy pursued BY the present
Secretary of State in treating this topic as one
which called rather for the enunciation OF fixed
opinions on the part of the United States than for
the PRONUNCIATION of threats, which latter would
have been worse than idle, because tending to de-
feat the moral force of the former.
1t now appears that the opinions propounded by
our Government in the matter of the French inva-
sion demanded no stress of menace to procure for
them an attentive hearing in France and q recogni-
ton of their soundness. We find that the committee
charged with the duty of reporting the deficiency
bill in the Legislative Body has distinctly avowed
that the distant expeditions in Cochin China and
Mexico, which count for sixty-one millions of
francs in the deficiency bill, and to which the EN-
peror had adverted in his annual address as
proving the far-reaching power of France, in
spire the nation with disquetude" rather than sa-
tisfaction And, in answer to the inquiries of the
committee it further appears that the French Gov

new expeditions in either of these quarters. That
of San Luis de Potosi was judged necessary in or
der to occupy an important line of communication
in Mexico, but the assurance given to the COM
mittee that the French army would stop at that
point and that the people of Mexico, as affairs
now stand in that country, would be invited to
choose their own Government, with the under
standing that France would respect their decision,
whatever it may be- To this was added the state
ment that the Government hoped that the present
year would see the end of the expedition and the
withdrawal of the French troops from Mexico, the
number of which would receive no augmentation
save such as might be necessary to fill vacancies
created by sickness or by the expiration Of the
term of service in the case of some reg iments en-
gagged in the present expedition.
In the presence of such declarations, and in con-
sideration of the manifest drift of public opinion
in France, it will be seen that the panic terrors
affected with regard to this question by certain
journalists in our own country, from desire to
find fault with the conduct Of our diplomatic cor
respondence on the subject, are hardly sustained
by the reality of the situation rs viewed by inteli
gent minds on either side of the Atlantic.
