THE MEXICAN QUESTION.
The Washington (Nov. q correspondent of the
London Times, notwithstanding the contradiction
made in some of the English papers of the matter
contained in his correspondence concerning the dis
patches sent by Mr.. Seward to the American Minis
ter in Paris directing him to bring to the notice of
NJ. Drouyn de LIuys the fact that the United States
Government had been informed that additional M
bian troops were about to be sent to Mexico by
France-reiterates his views, and stands upon the
corrections of such information.
The Times correspondent says:
One English journal states that had the Egyptian
force to which referred been organized the fact
must have been known in London before it came to
public knowledge IN this country In that case it is
curious that no one in England should have known
that Nuban troops have actually been in Mexico az
part of the French force ever since the Emperor Ma
poleon went there. If anybody in London knows
better than Mr.. Seward on this point, then l must
be wrong; not otherwise The Pasha of Egypt offered
T. IFce Of II MHnn 2T the service Of the
are in Mexico at this moment. Mr.. Stewards recent
dispatch was provoked by the fact that the United
ment of fresh Nubian force being fitted out for SER
vice in Mexico to replace that nearly four years
can government IN good position 10 take
erceptton 10 the proceeding as q as 1t had then
domestic war on its hands which taxed all its
energies. 1t has now under its authority a peo-
pie exasperated at what they regard as a fragrant
EiolatiSn of tayorite principle known as

judging of the tone of American feeling than London
The people, l repeat would rather go to war with
France than see her remain in NeXico You will not
find this statement contradicted by single journal
in all America when it is republiShed here. They
would of course much prefer that France withdrew
peaceaby; but II sheswlll not do that they to
make her 90. That is their own language, used at
every public meeting and at every dinner table, and
| in every paper, from Maine to California. General
Grant has and again made knotrn lis dis
content that France not pressed 10 ledUe Merco be-
| fore the army under him is disbanded In point of
| fact the government is standing between the public
| sentiment and France. But in this country at any
rate, 1t cannot disregard public sentiment 1t must
tall IN with II to certain extent and in that spirit
| there Is no doubt that Mr.. Stewards despatch was
| written.
| After giving further details of Mr. Stewards de-
spach to MIR. Bigelow, he says: must further state
and state 1t the Uery best auhorit-hat the views
OF the United States government on the subject are
these: 1t holds that neither monarchicaI nor an i'm
perial form OF government will ever be tolerated by
the people on this continent, because it would be
opposed TO the whole spirit of their political system
1t considers that the Emperor took an unfair adyan-
