| Correspondence London Times, Paris, Jan. 2s.l
! NJ Theirs gave full account of the Frenca
/ expedition to Mexico in the legislative body
on Tuesday His speech was clear exposi-
ton of facts BY one who had thoroughly mas
tered his subject He began with the differ
ence which always existed between North and
South America. The North was laborious
and industrious the South turbulent and an
archical He touched on the march on the
city of Mexico, and the triumphal entry into
it of the French army. NJ. Theirs commended
that French honor being thus completely
satisfied, the Government should have con-
sented to treat With Juarez. The North
Americans, so long as France does not recog-
niZe or favor the Confederates, will do nothing
against the Archduke Macmillan, but when
the war is over, 100000 adventarers who
have served in the American armies will
cross the Rio Norte and invade Mexico. A
good deal has been said about the wealth of
Mexico, but that wealth was not so great as
was supposed. N. Theirs concluded by say
ing that France should be satisfied, now that
her honor was safe, and should not pursue
chimeriesl object which satisfies no great in
terests of the country. The House should
come to the aid Of the Government, and the
Government should tell the Archduke Maxi
milan that the Chambers do not approve its
assisting him as it meant to do. Inthat case
the Archduke would probably decline going
to Mexico, and France might then address
herself to President Juarez.
NJ. Chalk DISTANCE replied to NJ. Theirs.
He recouEted all the outrages sustained by
France at the hands, of the Mexican govern
ments. No satisfaction had been given. =
NJ. Berger replied, and the debate was adj
journed.
NJ. Theirs speech is, in fact, one event of
the day; the effect of it has been such that
it is said the Emperor, convinced of the ina.
bility of mere lawyers to defend the govern
ment as il should be defended with an oppo-
sition which counts such men as Theirs, Ber-
ryer and Jules Favre in its ranks, is almost
resolved to do away with the speaking min
listers altogether. tits undeniable that the
interest felt by the public in these debates is
greatly on the increase. The Emperor feels
much anxiety on the matter, and it is not i'm
possible that some concession will be made to
public opinion. The subscriptions to the loan
are said to amount to some thousands of mil
lions of frances. OF course great reductions
must take place; but this result shows that
there is hardly limit to the amount the gov
eminent can obtain in this way.

Affairs af Charleston.

The correspondent of the Boston Herald,
writing from the feet off Charleston, de-
scribes the destruction of blockade runner
as follows:
Orr CHARLESTON, Feb. 2.-Very early this
morning some daring Englishman made bold
attempt, Just before daybreak and during a
fog, to run the blockade, and succeeded ss
far as the mouth of the harbor, where he
was run ashore by trying to avoid The shells
from our batteries, which were flying in every
direction. The fog soon cleared up, and
there was the blockade runner hard and fast
on the beach. She was a splendid looking
side-wheel steamer, with two smoke stacks
and rakish masts. Forts Wagner and Gregg,
aided by two monitors, at once commenced
to shell her, and by noon she was a complete
wreck. A 200-pounder Parrot from Fort
Wagner cut her nearly in two.l Besides the
Smelling of the steamer, the city of Charles
ton, James Island, and Forts johnson and
Moultrie have received a tremendous cannon
aiding.
The same correspondent, under date of
Feb Sd, says the rebels have tried several
times lately to reinforce the almost worn out
garrison in the ruins of Fort Sumter, but
have failed. 1t cannot be done by daylight,
as our guns have full range of the harbor all
around. At night our calcium lights are kept
lighted, and bear, not only on Fort Sumter,
but on all the harbor and city, so that it is
impossible for boat or steamer to go near
the ruins. In addition to this, the small rem
nant of garrison in the ruins are treated
every ten or fifteen minutes to heavy, pow
erful, Parrott shell, from sunset till daylight.
Most of the men in Fort Sumter are negro
slaves, and we know that some twenty or

9 Night before last, it being somewhat hazy,
a rebel ram, in company with a torpedo-boat,
cigar-shaped internal machine, left Mount
Pleasant and proceeded down the creek in
the rear of Sullivan's Island, for the purpose
of going out to make an attempt to destroy
the gunboats Housatoaie and Wapsie, which
were on guard duty that night on the south
channel near Beach inlet. When the ram
and internal machine had got ready to make
dash out of the inlet, it was found that the
machine was in a sinking condition. She
was then turned back into the inlet, where
she now lies sunk. She went down carrying
with her eight of her crew. This mishap has
put an end to attempts to destroyour vessels.
This is the third Internal machine the rebels
have lost.

including a sergeant, escaped to our lines

The ROBBERY OF PAYMAsTER LAWRENCE
Mr.. CRANER, of the Wisconsin,, in his edito-
rial correspondence from New Orleans, has
the following:
There was some sensation in official circles
on Wednesday morning, the 9th, when it
was announced that Major Lawrence, of Wis
consin, had been robbed of $4,000 in one
thousand dollar Treasury notes. The money
was taken from his safe by the burglar enter
ing from the rear The Paymaster's building
is in Gen. Twigg's house, and guard is kept
there night and day, in front of the house.
This is the first robbery of the kind that has
been perpetrated Ill the Department of the
Gulf. OF course, the police were put on the
track, but on Wednesday no clue could be as
eertained to the robbery. But on Thursday,
the light began to break and the thief was
caught. We obtain the following particulars
from an authentic source:
The burglar and thief who broke into, and
stole a large amount, $35, 900, of government
funds from the safe of Major III. X. Lawrence,
Paymaster u. S. A, on duty in New Orleans,
La, has been discovered and is now in pris-
on. The culprit is a servant, for some time
past employed by Major Lawrence to build
fires and sweep his office. He confesses the
crime, but will not disclose what he has done
with the money. He entered his employers
sleeping room, as he says, early in the morn
ing, and took the keys to the safe from the
Majors pocket, committed the theft, and re-
turned the keys to the place from which he
took them, without detection.

IDAHo.-TRe Other .Side.-The Peoria Mail
learns from gentleman just returned from
Idaho some facts not so encouraging as those
generally published. He says:
The mines in California are much richer
than those of Idaho-that in the latter coun-
try they occupy very limited space, and are
poor at that. 1t was estimated that 10000
men in Idaho were out of employment, and
everything exhorbitantly high. The climate
is cold, and they have ice there in August.
1t is nothing uncommon to have four or five
feet of snow, which lasts all through the
winter.
The best route to Idaho, Mr.. Chase thinks,
is by way of Salt Lake City, then across the
country on mules. By this means a party
could get in advance of the large emigration
already on the way, which would be very
desirable thing for those who value the good
condition of their animals.
The cry of rich mines in Idaho is all for
speculation. The puffs and notices in the
newspapers are paid for by spectators. There
are no such rich mines there as represented.
No man can make his living by mining in
Idaho
