gales that blow hi,her from all points 0
the compass. General GRANT has once
more spoken On the Mexican question, anC
~ usual be favors the expulsion of The
Austrian invader. In New Orleans ex
traordiaary military activity is said to pre-
vail; the sale of governmen. vessels is be-
ing stopped, and everything is being
placed on war footing. ln Canada wal
has almns. commenced. Toronto is being
rapidly placed in state Of defence
troops are being placed around the city,
and the gallant members Of the royal ar
.i!ery stand, lanyard in hand, ready for
action at the first appearance Of Fenian
or Yankee. Napoleon is said 70 be
getting out Of Mexico, and Great Britain
is preparing to submit: our indemnity
claims to the arbitration Of tie sword
rather than to foreign nation, or than to
pay them.
Gen. LooAS has been appointed Minis,
tar 20 Mexico, but declines the mission, as
the Chicago Tribune says, if the Presi,
dent does not give him $4,000 men.
He has taken ground squsrely upon the
Mexican question. Only eleven days be-
fore be WAS appointed Minister to Mexico,
he said, in speech made in the Brooklyn
Academy Of Music:
so far as | am concerned, believe
lhs, MAximiIlian in holding Mexico to,
day is part and parcel Of the rebellion
against this goveInment. Cheers 4
That was part of the rebellion; it is a
part OF it to-day, and the government of
the United States has only to say to Max
imiIlian: "Sir. you must pick up your
duds and travel" Laughter, ending iu
another outburst Of tremendous cheering
The government has not suppressed the
rebellion until ii does this That's SO I
|, for one, don't propose to give that state
to MaxlmiIian |, for one, am in favor of
our government saying so TO him: "You
were induced BY This rebellion to take
possession Of tha, country, and TO attempt
to establish yourself lhere; will not per
init yoa to stay there; you must get GU. of
tha. country, and leave it TO its people,. :"

For the first time since he announced
bis intention to fight it ont on that line
if it takes all summer,, General GRANT
hs, given utterance to a positive assertion
Of principle. During lis visit TO the
Union League Club in New York, he was
welcomed by a speech which contained
the following:
" European ambition has striven TO es-
tsblsh another empire over a sister repub-
lie. Maximlian, by stranger arms, has
been forced upon her brave and unwilling
people. Fou!er wrong never outraged
human annals than The present occupation
Of Mexico by the French. We sympsthize
with our sister republic in her day of ai-
versity. and firmly believe in her coming
deliverance. y Mexican Grant will vet
restore his country, rs You have saved
your own
To this Gen GH,Nr re'nondcd:
81 hope you will excuse me from
thanking ou at any great length. But
ihere Is one sentiment uttered in your
address which Is mlre also. 1t is the one
touching the future Of Mexico"
As this speech does not come from
] Ihiladeli,hia, or upon the authority Of
any editor Of the Chicago Tribune, il NAY
he considered reIigbie 1t is not only the
longest speech ever delivered by Genersl
GRANT, but the most Significant IA a
high official, his opinion on any such mat
tor is that of the government. Nor
would lie thus publicly give utterance to
such sentiment unless the government
has decided upon lis action With relation
TO Mexico.
Taking this sentimen: Of the lieutenant
general, the appointment Of Gen LOGAN,
and a hundred other indicative occur
rences, and the pubic is warranted in
concluding that the government has de-
cided upon the expulsion Of Msximilian,
aud this at an early day.
Nor FoUsD YET.-The body OF PREsToN
KING has not been recovered The Al
bany Argus says no effort was made in
time, the zeal Of his friends being first di-
rected to getting the Office OF The dead
man /! They rushed to the telegraph Office
and the pos! office, and commenced fishing,
not for the body, but for the 'poiIs, with
Infinite enthusiasm, Indeed it is said thai
the pursuit Of bis fat salary ard perqui-
cites commenced before his death, and
with the first indications of bis mental
weakness.
