INV YORK, July 25-The Herald publishes
the following relative to Mexican Affairs: I'm

news of the death Of Lincoln, the surrender Of
Gen Lee and the termination Of our war he dis
patched to Europe bic especial adviser, N Elton,
Chief of Cabinet. to advise with Louis Ma
poleoD, King Leopold, Of Belgium, and the EN-
peror Of Ausiris, a. to what should be done under
this change of Affairs. the empire in Mexico hsv-
Ing been undertaken under the conviction that
the United States we're permanently disrupted
and that our civil war would continue for many
years
NJ. Elton left Vera Cruz on this mission on
the I'd of May last. passing by the way of this
city and now returns By the same route Ii was
reported that while here he had interview
with President johnson which was of very sat
isfactory character This report was entirely
without foundation. We have reason to believe
the mission Of n Elton to Europe has been
/ fruitful OF important results to Napoleon.
He vas instructed TO state that the Empire
would only be re- established in tranquility, and
Mexico thoroughly pasfed by largely increased
force of foreign troops. and the outlay Of largely
increased sums OF money, which also must be
furnished from abroad rs il was idle to place any
reliance upon revenue in Mexico for some years
to come. These reintorcements OF troops and

affairs in the United States. France and other
interested European nations must guarantee his
throne from any attacks. Without that, unless
these conditions could be complied With, Maxi
