HIS ETURN TO XICO.

- MalakOtf," the Paris correspondent OF
the New York Times, writes, under date of
April II, as follows:
| have already told you Of the return of
DIR. Gwin to Mexico, (he left ten days ago
by the Tasmania,) and also of the pretended
success of his mission to Paris. This sue
cess there is reason to believe is real, as the
following facts will show. After the death
of NJ De MOrnv DR.. GWin had three inter
views with the Emperor, after the last one
of which he announced with JOY to his
friends that the Emperor had granted him
all he desired and that he was going to re-
turn to Mexico at once. The next day after
this last visit, one of the EmperOrs ord
nance officers visited Dr.. GWimin q certain
degree Of statc-that is to say, in one of the
Emperor's grand carriages, and with the
livery of the cOUrt-and delivered to Dr..
Gwin documents from his Majesty. Three
DAYS later, DR.. Gwin, accompanied by his
son, was off for Mexico. Again you will
see that in the debate in the Chambers
on Mexican affairs. which has just taken
place the official spokesman of the Govern
ment, NJ Rouher, admitted that an eXpedi-
tion, the last one the French army would
probably be called upon to engage in in Mex
co, was about to be sent TO Sonora, and he
further declared that he had just learned
that the new Mexican loan had been taken
by European bankers. Now, as regards
| by DR.. GWin; without an armed force it was
impossible to work the mines of that COun-
| try, and without the mines, the Emperor
| was assured MaXimilian would soon become
| hopelessly bankrupt, and the French debt,
both old and new, COald never be paid.
| There was both force and logic in this
| reasoning; there was more than that, there
was an memorable truthfulness which cut
off all discussion, for what else in all MeXi-
co than the rich mines of Sonora will ever
| be capable of supporting Maximilian's ex-
pensive court and army, and of paying off
the war indemnity and other foreign
debts So it is to be supposed that DR..
Gwin had things pretty much his own way.
As regards the new loan this is said only to
have been taken when it was found that DR..
| Gwin's plan had been adopted, that is to say,
after it was known that portion OF the
French army was to remain permanently,
| in the country. As II. Rouher said. how
ever, the capitalists did not take this loan
| for political reasons, but because it was
based upon the productive industry and the
| resources of the country, thus again refer
ring to the action which had Just been
taken in regard to the mines Of Sonora.
The evidence, therefore, as | said III the
commencement, is all in favor OF Dr.. Gwin
having told the truth when he claimed that
his mission to Paris had been successful, and
bthat the Emperor had promised him the
armed protection he demanded.
The New Mexican Loan.
The treaty relative to the new Mexican
loan was signed by the Count de Gcrminy,
Senator and President of the Mexican FL
nance Committee at Paris, and NJ. Pinart
Director of the Discounting Bank of Paris

are to furnish the money, among which are
Hortinguer & Co., FOuld d Co., Pereire
Brothers, Maycuard, Andre & Co., Baron

Syndicate of the Bankers of Frankfort,
Bischoffsheim, GOldschmidt & Co., Stern &
Co., Cahen, Of Antwerp, Lutscher d Co, etc.
The discounting company mentioned above
will issue the stock. The loan will consist
of 600 bonds, issued at $40 francs each,
paying 30 francs per annum, and repayaDle
at 500 francs in so years.
Prince Camille POlignac in paris---VFhat
He says OF Rebel Prospects in Texas.
The young Prince Camille Polignac, Ma
ior General in the rebel army, has Just re-
turned to Paris, and says that the people
and army Of Texas are the most happy III
the COntederacy; for that since the stOppage
of the flow of provisions and men across the
Mississippi, plenty has reigned III everything.
He processes, in fact, to have had a good
time, generally, and says he is going back.
He refuses, Of course to give any details as
to the number or composition of Kirby
Smiths army, or as to any designs Of the
Texans to set up an independent govern
ment In other words, he is still rebel
General, and conducts himself as such.
The second rebel ram, built by Arman,
of Bordeaux, has gone to sea; but as the
French Government appears to be certain
as to where she has gone, there seems to be
no need Of uneasiness in regard to her. She
is probably sold to Prussia. Nothing fur
ther has been heard from the Stonewall, but
if, as reported, she has gone TO the west
coast of Africa to search for the Iroquois,
she viii not find her for that vessel, four
weeks ago. was at Singapore, on her way to
China. Lieut.. Graham, of Washington, late
of the United States frigate jamestown, now
in the China seas, arrived here yesterday,
direct from China, by the overland mail,
carrying dispatches to Washington, and it
is he that saw the Iroquois at Singapore.
