As for MeEico, the subject Is so delicate ont
for the official Journal. that It prefers. n doubt

while they predict eventual bankruptcy and the
ruin OF the national credit they are none the

which this remark Of the President betrays.
The statement Of President Lincoln, that civil
war still rsisns in Mexico, fell exactly at II pc
llot when the French papers had just officially
announotd the contrary. That is TO say, they

o habit which Is unusual to tue French press,
