A special to the World says: Some very i'm.
portant statements were made in private Official

Government on the Mexican question. The story
comes in such a shape that il cannot well be dis
credited, aud il is inferred that the Government
will not permit another French, Austrian OF
foreign soldier OF any sort in the service OF Max
imihan to be landed on the Mexican coast with
out entering a firm and decided protest What
is OF the greatest importance is, that Govern
ment. having stationed in Texss an army OF
loo, 900 men, will keep it there 10 act as a corp:
OF observation, and 10 exercise such physica
and moral pressure as will compel the ultimate
withdrawal of MAMMALIAN from Mexico. Thi:
army has been so disposed that il overshadows
especially on the Rio Grande aud the Mexican
frontier and keeps the foreign levies OF the new
Emperor in an ncessant state of apprehension
and activity.
If a collision should come. the United State,
would have at hand force sufficient TO maintain
il. dignity aud make reprisals The transfer
of rebel battery to the Imperialist Gen. Msia

Slaughter did dispose of rebel battery to th'
Imperialists, as stated, il will be demanded and
obtained. liz is understood twelve or tfteeI
hundred Contederates are in the Mexican seryics
near the Texas border and il is definitely settles
that il these are troublesome they will be pun
| ished. even if pursuit should throw our armie
across the border.
