BURLINGTON WEI
- We have reiteration from New
Orleans Of the statement that our Consul
at Matamoras has been dismissed by MAJ
imilian, on the ground that our Govern
ment does not recognize the imperial au-
thority in Mexico. We have dlrec, infor-
nation that the French authorities at Mat
amoras, and the rebel officials at Browns
vile, Texas, are on the best OF terms, but
we also have the fact that the United States
commercial agent has just gone to Mata-
moras, while there appears to he q little
doubt whether the absence OF, our Consul
from Matamoras is compulsory. There is
no question that Macmillan is chag.inei
at his non-recognition from the United
States. The presence Of a U. S. Consul de-
puted to the Juarez Governlne n. in port
held by the Imrerialists, is anomalous
Still it seems Little improbable that the
new regime should ado to its perplexities
by seeking trouble with our Government.
