Special Dispatch 10 the New York News.
WAsuINGroN, Nov. 2S, ls65.-The
Cabinet meeting to day was prottactea
to an unusually hate hour. Discussion
on tho Mexican question occupied nearly
the whole time. The reports of firing on
the Imperial troops by'sF Federal soldiers
are not fully credited here, IF such acts
took place, they were in Violation Of
very recent orders.
1t believed that a proposal was made
to withdraw our troops, except strong
picket guard fromthe immediate vicinity
Of the Rio Grande, in order to avoid such
occurrences. The President deeply re.
grcts that his positive orders in regard
to the observance of strict neutrality
do not appear to have been fully obeyed
An immediate investigation has been
ordered, and the + oulpable party will be
severely punished, and the act dsavowed
Tire Government has no intention of
being involved in war with France
through the act Of any person on the
frontier. 1t &as the intention of tho
Government to settle the Mexican ques,
tioh without war, and it is still believed
that this can be done.

ister is appointed to Mexico, it will be
some other man.. WI lfl. fn,,,s ,l,

events now transpiring, unless it indica-
tes that they were foreseem .,1,Gga l,atd
Reports are circulated to-day of com,
binations toelect another Speaker in place
of MIR. Colfax, but they have no fonnd-
alton. Mr.. Coliax and Mr.. Mcpherson
will certainly he reelected as Speaker
and Clerk. There is mo- harmony bet.q
ween the Presieaent and the Radicals
The President stands unwaveringlyaon
his restorationfpolicy, and will do soto /
the end, and the Radicals will no,only
topposelit 10 the entl, but are confident
of their ability to do so effectively.
h IT. is said that the prosecution in the
sase Of Commander Craven failed to
