If the lists of English subscribers are
curious, those of the French will bt
much more so, and also, perhaps, much
more instructive. Names there, high
indeed among the mushroom aristoc.
racy, and not unknown at the Court oil
the Tuileries, will not be wanting. II
is understood that many of the parties
here who have lost their all by the rebel
cotton loan intend prosecuting the Err
hangers, of Paris, and Messrs. Schroeder,
4 of London. 1t may be expected that,
under the pressure of the Court OF
Chancery, some curious revelations
Twill be wrung out of the latter in Eng
Hand, and there can be Lao doubt that,
in spite of court protection, the same,
under the action of the courts of JUS
tice, will take place in the case OF the
4 former in Paris. Neither NlessrS. En-
4 LANCER nor MeSSrs. Schroeder can feel
vnr9 comfortable at this moment.
\ Anther individual who must feel, to
use n slang expression, that he is in u
very tight place, is Captain, lutterally
Major, Caleb Huse, of the rebel army,
who, as you will remember, deserted
| the United States navy to Join the rebel
cause. The gentleman in question has,
during the time of the rebellion, in
England, France and Austria, been one
of the most active ugentS of the rebel
government, though it cannot, fear,
| be said that he was either an honest or
disinterested one. He issued hundreds
of thousands of cotton bonds. 1t will be
| interesting to see what account he wtlh
render of his stewardship. There was
along with Captain HuSe gentleman
named Leon, whom you Will, perhaps,
remember as Consul General of the
United States in Egypt. Both these
gentlemen worked together, and both
have equally we'll Geathered their nests.
They may, perhaps, however, be forced
to disgOrge, and such is the most gen
eral aspiration with regard to them on
this side of the Atlantic. They are said
to be both now suing for pardon mt
Washington. They arc quite ready,
should suppose, TO take any oath at any
time, and always have been SO, as far
as /. can learn. 1t is reported they are
of AarOn's opinion, and, If mistake
not, it was he who instituted the wor-
ship of the golden calf.
Lord Palmerston Is far from well.
He is suffering from disease of the
bladder, which has led his medical adj
Visers to forbid his taking further eXer-
Is likely to prove the death warrant to
one who has always been in the habit
of enjoying it. Nature with his lord
ship Is quite exhausted, and 1t is gener-
ally understood that he must soon re-
tire from public life. His lordship's
successors are to be looked for from
among tho following list of those who
nre waiting for his post; Mr.. Gladstone,
Earl Russell and Earl Granville. The
litter is almost sure to succeed if the
the servility of the Times in its fllsome
adulntion be any indication of the way
the wind is blowing. / wish it could be
said with any regard to truth that he
was the most suitable. IA
have curious piece of news, for
the truth of which I cnn vouch. The
Emperor Macmillan, on his visit to
the Tuileries last year, previous to his
setting out for Mexico, made u treaty
with the Emperor Napoleon, which,
from its peculiar bearing on American
politics and the opposition it displays
to tho principles which have ever reEu-
lated the policy of the United States
Government, Is we'll worthy of being
brought before the notice of the public
The gist of the treaty lies in the follow
ing two phrases, which / have trans.
cribed almost literally: "The Emperor
of the French binds himself to main
tain the Emperor MaXimilian on the
AhAOAS Va 0AGSAANOp uuu 10 Gl6lelU MN
against all foreign foes and nll foreign
attacks whatsoever The Emperor
NlaNimilian on his part agrees 'sThat he
(the Emperor Maxfmilian) binds him
self, and through himself the empire of
Mexico, to the following condition:
That in the event of his (the Emperor
MaXtmilian's) dying without issue "a
most probable occurrence), or in the
event of his (the Emperor AIaximilian's)
abdlcating. or leaving Mexico, Mexico
Is to become French colony, and to be
handedl over 10 the French governs
ment."
The above is a key to all the French
movements in Mexico. 1t fully ac-
counts for the expenses that France has
been Mt in Mexico, the great amount of
both money and blood which France
has spent for what would otherwise
seem II most futile object. Already in
| Mexico the greater number ofministerS
aud officials are either French or in the
interest of France. The head of the
police was for a long time one of the
secret guard of Napoleon ut the Tuiler-
| les. The new Mexican bank ut present
being brought out by Compton de-
hscomPteS at Paris is to have extraordi-
nary and exclusive powers. 1t is to
/ collect the entire revenue, and is to hive
the management of the mint, the profits
OF which 1t is to pocket. A SOP Is thus
thrown to the French people TO make
them forget what they are payinG. ia
maintain MuXimilian on his fbtteTinIs
throne. On tho other hand, France IL
making up u long account against
Mexico in the shape of n debt fSr the
4 sums she Is now laying out to enslnvs
her, In order that this debt may afford
n fair pretext in the eyes of the world
for seizing the Mexican territory.
For all the above can Vouch. / lnov
further add that the Emperor Napoleon
hns carried on tho whole negotiations
with the greatest secrecy, Keeping MI
most all his ministers in the dark con-
corning II, and that it IS only lnthlv
that some of them got notice Of its eS.
istence from an overheard Conversation
of his Majesty.
THE English mails by the scotiu
bring us the letters Of the men who
deny that they held the rebel loan. ms
was reported n few weeks ago. Some
of them deny the charge in the mos
direct and positive manner. But Others
evade rather than frankly deny the nc.
cusation. However only eleven out o.
the twcnty-eight, whose names appear.
ed on the list, have made any kind o.
denial. Among those who have moi
denied that they subscribed to the loar
are Sir Henry De. Hoghton, who was
down for $500, 600; Isanc Campbell 4, Co.
I, $3.50, 600; Thomas Sterling Bigbee, S7OO,.
900; The Marquis of Bath. $3.50 600
