10 VISIT THE UNITED STATES.

says within two years the prince Imperial
Of France is to make a royal visit to the
United States, and take q tour in the
country. He is to be attended by splen-
did feet and two or three ministers of state,
and will move about with a brillisncy
which will completely eclipse the Prince
of Wales pageant.
The Opinsone Nationals Paris, the
prince Nspoleon's organ, eulogises General
Sherman's operations and tactics in the
highest terms and accuses the rebels of
having fred Charleston. 1t adds they
have never been anything but rebels
against just government, having for their
wstehword Slavery and SlsYes.
MEXICAN AFFAIRS.
The HerGLFs New Orleans letter says:
General Lew Wallace has left New Or
lesns on q special mission to Matamoras
for the purpose of inquiring into the ar
rangements of Mejia Msximilians COM
msnder, with the rebel commander in
Texas, for the delivery of Texan refugees
escaping into Mexico.
Mexican news, Via Hsvsns, contradicts
the detection of Cortinas from the I'M
perisl cause. He was still devoted to
Maximihsn, and engaged in suppresaing
the guerrillss.
The troubles between the Empire and
church party do not sbate and the Pope is
said to have demonstrated against the I'M
perisl order decreeing liberty of worship
and confirming the appropriation of church
property for State purposes.
Mysterious movements on the Rio
Grande indicate some fresh plot on the
part of the rebel agents st Brownsville
and Mstamoras.
The Richmond Whig, of Tuesday, prints
the report made by the Committee of Mil
itary Affairs of the rebel House of Repre-
on JEFF. Davis message. The
Whig says it was not formally adopted for
want of time and the pressure of other
business, but it is understood the report ex-
presses the sentiments of large majority
of the House.
The report is similar in tone to that
adopted by the Senate, but eouched in
more moderate language. The reportsays
the House objected to giving Davis the
sweeping military law he asked for simply
because it had already placed at his dis
posal all persons between the ages of IF
teen and sixty and the report says DAVIS
is very hard for asking for more con-
scripts when he had already admitted
more than half bearmy was absent without
leave It suggested as the laws already
made for the government of the army can
not be executed, they had better not pass
any more. In regard to the delay in pas
sing the negro soldier bill, the report quotes
Davis own message at the adjourning of
this session, wherein he declared that be-
yond the employment of negroes as pio-
neer and engineer lsborers he did not think
it necessary to go.
The Raleigh Confederate makes an sp-
peal 10 the people and heads of families of
that city to initiate the citizens of Rich
mond in throwing open their doors to re-
ceive and their purses to sustain the sick
and wounded officers and soldiers whom
the fate of war is bringing into that COM
munity.
The Richmond Whig of the 2Ist says
that large number of ladies and gentle
man assembled in Capitol Square yester-
day, to witness the promised parade of the
first company of negro troops, raised under
the recent act of Congress, but owing to
the fact that the new recruits have not yet
been supplied with uniforms and equip
ments, the parade was postponed. The
work of recruiting negroes for the rebel
army is going on rapidly.
