NEGOTIATIONS FOR THE REcoGyIfIOx OF THE
& T MEXICAN EMPIRE.
1t is reported to-day that a certain officer of
the army, recently In Paris, took over to our
Minister there q verbal assurance from our
Government, to be communicated to the
French Government, to the effect that if Max
imilian maintained himself on the throne for
six months longer, and If during that period
his Government should be continued to be ad-
ministcred with the same apparent stability
that has marked it during the last six months,
and If during that period the Liberals in Mex
leo did not succeed In dethroning Macmillan
and in reinstating the Republic, that then the
United States would recognize the Empire as
the government de (dcfO.
"This report, am led to believe, has q
foundation in fact. But my information leads
me to believe that the communication was not
| intrusted to the officer alluded to, but Went
through the regular diplomatic channels, and
was in writing, and that the time was not sc
| brief a period as six months. '-CbrTeSDO1Nles

RADICALS NOT IN GOOD HrMoR WITH TIKI
! PRESIDENT.
! AS to the state OF public feeling at the time Of
the adjournment, it would be idle to deny tina
the Presidents haste in relieving the Pro
| visional Governors while Congress was in SEES
sion, and engaged in the discussion of measure!
bearing upon that subject elected very unfa-
! vOrable comments even from many of those
who are not inclined to find fault with thu
President except in extreme cases. 1t is asked
certainly not without pertnence, what ha!
occurred to induce the President, after having
but short time ago ordered the Provisional
Governors to hold on, suddenly to order TIT
same Provisional Governors to surrender tn,
governments of their States, all this withou
taking the sense of Congress upon the matter
Being taken rs 4 want Of consideration TO
the legislative branch Of the government
this measure could not be calculated t.
foster that good feeling which promised
to grow up between the President ant
Congress, especially as it is looked upol
by many as an uncalled- for breach of the tact
understanding, which was generally presume
to exist, that the Executive would permi
things to remain IN statm 1uO until Congress
had spoken it's mind. The impression is gain
ing ground that the President, While pro
Tossing great anxiety to avoid a conflict witt
Congress, is endeavoring to push forward tn
: execution of his own plan, regardless of tn
will of the National Legislature. Such
course would naturally lead to sharp differ
ences, and arouse the temper even of thos
. who so far have been studiously cultivation
harmony and good feeling .-COTresp0adent Ne
