Emperor the effect anticipated by the
Empress Regent and the Ministers. His
Majesty has taken the matter very coolIy,
and probably thinks that the democratic
vehemence of his cousin will rally round
himself the more backward Conservatives.
The Court is said to be angry because
the Emperor is not as angry as itself;
the Prince, because the Court is angry
and the Emperor Indifferent and the
Ministers, not knowing whether, in disa-
vowing the Prince, they may not IN reall-
ty be %disavowing their master, are as an
cry rs the others.
The Patrie has very narrowly escaped
an advertisement for having published
alarming news about the recruiting said
to be going on in the United States, with
a view to an invasion of Mexico. 1t stat
ed that it had reason TO believe that the
French Government felt somewhat anx-
lous about these Cjandestlne operations IN
favour Of the ex-President Juartz, and
that the most energetic measures would
be taken, if necessary, against the Anne
rican volunteers. It declared that France
would never allow these adventures TO
attack, in contempt of every principle, "a
country which is protected by the French
flag. It announced, moreover, that Rear
Admiral DIdelot, the newly named com
mander of the naval division on the west
coast of America, was under orders 10
leave Brest with the steam-frigate The
mis-, Immediately after the Emperor's re-
turn from Algeria, with formal i~n&truc-
tons to stop, IN the name of internaliOn-
al law, and confornably 10 the provisions
OF maritime law, any enterprises that the
successors OF Lopez and Walker Nigh;
attempt. The Patlte added that besides
General Ortegan, Romero, brother of the
Romero who was recently shot by Court
martial at Mexico, was at New York con-
Quoting the recruiting that the said Ro-
nero was furnished with full powers from
JuareZ, was assisted by an American COM
mittee, and appeared to have at his dis
pOsal large sums OF money. This news
coming from the Patrie produced a very
bad effect generally, and particularly
among the commercial classes. The
Patrje got a reprimand for having giving
it publicity, and was forthwith 'Finyited"
to contradict or at least greatly modify
what it had stated. It has done so !; and
it now says that the only correct fact
in its previous statement is, that Rear
Admiral DideIot is going out to relieve
Rear-Admiral Bosse, who has completed
his period Of service on the west coast of
America, and that the former will not be
charged with any exceptional mission
whatever, and will have no other powers
than those held by his predecessor.
"The Life of Marat," a pamphlet pur-
porting to refute the doctrines put for
ward by the Emperor in his "Life of
Cesar" has been confscated by the
French Government.
MEXICO.
The New York papers contain import
ant advices from Mexico city, dated the
Goth ult. :-"Within the previous fort
night the French and Belgians had, it is
said, suffered several defeats at the hands
of the Liberals. The city of Periana, in
Michoacan, has been captured by the Jua-
req troops, who hold it, after having
routed its French defenders while ano-
