Trouble with Mexico.

New YORK, July lS.--A special despatch

entering firm and decided protest: Sc.
cond, and wha. is Of the gtavsst import.

toned in Texas an army of 100000 men.
will keep it there to act as IL corps of
observation and to exercise snch physical
and moral pressure as shall ulti,natrlv
compel the withdrawal of Matimilian
from Mexico
This army has been 80 disposed that it
overshadows, especially on the Rio Grande,
the Mexican frontier, and keeps the foreign
levies Of the new Emperor in an incessant
state of apprehension and activity. ii a

would have at hand sufficient. force TO
maintain its dignity and 4eake reprisals.
The transfer Of rebel bate cry to the
Imperial General M-jia is another matter

HIc Ell UBIeuE.-lt appears that the
burning of Barnum's Mpeum is ascribed
to the rebels and rebel sympathizers. These
wicked dogs seem to have universal
presence. But why they shcu7d burn up
Barnum, we do not exactly see. 1t is,
however, gravely asserted that the great
cause OF offence is thu conspicuous "rro.
minence which Barnum has given to jeff
Davis capture Verify, this is rare
fooling. We shall all be done to death by
fools and hot weather before the dog days
fairly set in.

The blockheads are always lucky, for
the best Of rea.ons. They need luck to
supply the place of wisdom. Butrhe wise
man never speaks contemptuously of for.
tune. Sylla, who was one Of the greatest
men of his day, always "scrbed hs sue
cesses to fortune. There il no'reason,
indeed, why wisdom should ignore fortune
as an agent in her successes 1t is her
error, always, TO be too seh-rclianl, and
never to take the advantages which fortune
offers just as frequently. to tEe wise MAJ
as to the blockhead. 1t is in his self esteem,
cf 1dent of his own plans and schemes,
that he suffers his lucky moments to escape
him. His pride of intellect is asserted ut
the expense of his opportunities. He does
not use events. He rather seeks to H. axe
them. Yet events are theparents of orpor.
'unit'es, and to 1size upon them ms we can,
and enjoy them under the guidance Of
wisdom, constitutes the best capital which
time can i've us.

Tuesday Morning, July IS, 1860

The late fire IN New York seems to have
been less destructive than was at FIRST
reported. The Herald Office, which was
said to have been among the buildings
destroyed. seems to have escaped all
damage; and Bennett still issues his-sheet,
as big and blatant as ever, and with no
diminution of his own peculiar virtues.
He 6evotes half a column to an account of
Barnum, the extent of his losses and the
stoical and Roman fortitude with which
he endures them. He describes his deport-
ment in detail; shows how Barnum was
speech,making in the State Legislature
when the news was brosght of his disas-
ter; how coolly he received it-with what
exquisite equanimity-never suffering his
speech to cool-never suffering his lips to
quiver in his quavers, and carrying
through the whole with composure
worthy of Greek and Roman fame 1t
will be = great relief TO all Europe.and the
rest of the nations. to be told, as Bennett
tells US, that Darnum will build again, and
this time 6h a scale of magnitude which
will Sstonish the nations from New York
to Kamschaka. He will have tatter
women OF exhibition than ever, and pro.
cure handsome mermaid-a perfect
angel of Fee lee-a little encumbered by the
tail of porpose. He has already adver:
tised for every variety Of Siamesed crea.
tions and is especially industrious in pro.
curing the old clothes of notorious per-
sons: He has been SO fortunate as to have
saved certain Scotch cloak and cap, and
certain crinoline garment, which will
defy all counterfets and crafty all classes
of politician naturalists. He has procured
q pair Of Ethiopian babies, each with
double heads; n Burmese cat with three
tails, and Il tiger with the head Of wo-
man and no tail at all. The boa constructor
will be of double the old size, and will
devour his elephant daily. at u certain
hour! But the curiosites are endless.
Among them are the genuine ropes that
hung The conspirators; the knife that cut
Its own throat; a politician who votes
according I" his conscience, a commissary
and quart ,rmaster who has made 40 mo.
ncv by the war, and single copy OF the
