in fact it was Kissed from beginning /

meagre description. The hissers in tn
Partisan theatres are called the club d,

Gus members did their best to ensul
the failure of the play because produce
under the auspices of the Princess M,
thield. But what has more than am
thing reused the Indignation of the Pi
risians is decree which however, wi
and must be rescinded. 1t is that of dt
priving the public of one of the fines
gardens Of the capitalize garden Of III
luxembourg, under pretence of maxim
way for new street but I'm reality t
sell the ground to one sO-called Com
pugnie Innobiiiere.
4 This measure is at the same time use
less and wanton quite as barbarous q
If new street were TO be made through
the Cathedral of NOtre- Dame. Petitions
",ohose name is Legion" are being sign
ed and the walls of Paris are now beins
covered with the following inscriptions
THE vANDALEs IN PARIS.
The Members for the Capital of France
q
public letter declared any measure to be
Illegal, which would touch the garden
of the Luxembourg. AS already stated
numerousiy signed petitions pour In
from every quarter to demand a repeal
of the decree. The Senate and Chamber
of Deputies will no doubt take the mat
ter up. As set off for this barbarism,
it is said that the projects in France are
TO be done away with-a good thing--as
they are perfectly useless.
SENSATION IN PARIS
Gen. Schofield arrived in the French
Capital on Sunday last, bearing an inn
portant mission from President ] oh nson
to the cabinet of the Tuileries. A report
rapidly spreat that General Scofield had
come to France to insist upon Napoleon
III. withdrawing the French troops from
Mexico. The Constitutional turned the
whole matter into ridicule and even went
50 far as to doubt the arrival of the
American General, though he had been
spoken to by several persons. My opinion
is that though the United States Govern
ment is most DESTROYS of keeping on
terms with France, it will not
fail to express the general Indignation
felt I'm America at the presence of q
French armed force in Mexico. A free
like that of the United
States cannot ignore the great discomfort
caused by forcing Intervention on the
American continent, Gen. Sheffield will
therefore explain to the Emperor why
President johnson in his message alluded
in very marked terms to Mexico and the
Monroe doctrine. General Schofield Ia,
it Is said, In daily conference with Mr..
Bigelow. / can certify that Mr.. Bigelow,
United States envoy in Paris has lately
had frequent interviews with Monsieur
Druyn de L'Hays. They met four times
last week and three times this, to try and
settle matters on the following basis.
LIST. The United States Government
shall undertake To observe the strictest
neutrality with regard to Mexico.
I'd. The French Government to with
draw it's troops from Mexico, within the
space of three years, from the LIST of jan
uary 1856.
The mission of Gen. Schofeld, (Which
has not yet been officially announced)
and the nomination of Mr.. Logan as
United States envoy to Mexico, are no
doubt to be the means of influencing the
decisions of Drouyn de L'Hays, who
will learn, in case of opposition To the
United States, that Johnson will no long
er turn q deaf ear to the wished of the
nation which sees, with great indigna-
ton, an Empire being raised on the ruins
of the Mexican Republic.
will, however, give you the way In
which Mr.. IIOgan's nomination, as en-
voy to Juarez, Is generally explained, by
The knODing ones about the Emperor:
that the whole thing Is "a farce, got up
between Napoleon iii. and President
Johnson. Logan on arriving in Mexico
will find JuareZ non est iaUe,ltals, he will
then return to Washington and inform
the Government that the late President
Is no where to be found-Johnson will
thereupon conclude that the legitimate
power no longer exists, and will, forth
with, recognize Macmillan and his EN-
pire. This is the current version, which
doubt
1t is unfortunately too much the fash
ion in France to eliminate johnson.
The Liberals find him too moderate, and
the Conservatives blame him for betray-
ing the Republican cause to the advan-
tage of the Democrats. All are agreed
in saying that he is not straightforward
in the negro question, but great deal
of nonsense is talked on this subject,
which is little understood by generality
in Europe.
WHAT WILL BE THE FATE OF NJ MAGUENAs
MISSION TO WASHINGTON,
Your readers know that M. Maguena,
of the Chilain Congress, has
been sent to President Johnson to beg
the protection of the United States, q
good opportunity for quiet talk about
The Monroe Doctrine a pr0pos of Chill.
Let us cast glance at the situation OF
Spain.
THE SITUATION OF SPAIN.
The elections in Spain are terminated
The progressive party, though powerful
has kept aloof, and the consequence has
been great majority for O'Donnell.
The future Parliament, will contain
thirty moderates, four progressits and
twenty neo-catholios. NOtwithstand
ing this success, I look upon the present
as lost, and the fall of Queen
Isabella as ultimately inevitable. O'Don.
nell finds himself every day more iso.
lated. Marshal Navarez has intimated
his intention of being present at the first
sitting of the Senate, after which he in
retiring into private life.
The manifests of the progressive party
(Which Espartero has adhered, demands
The constitution of 1896 as the starting
point for constitutional monarchy, but
i does not consider it possible to be car
ried out by Isabella; Ia word it says
that we shall soon see the wreck Of the
ministry.
