cans, and even his impracticabIe dreams
as to the Mexican future were graced
with sufficient plausibility to suit the
palate of q people always ready to be
tlckled with the promise of some gaudy,
impossible destiny. The Emperor as a
man, is still liked and respected, for he
has genuine good qualities of heart; but
the intensity Of the popular hatred against
the French cannot be described, and
should be witnessed to be appreciated.
At the slightest intimation of encourage
ment from the United States there would
be an uprising throughout Mexico that
would astoaiSh the invaders. Indeed,
many military men (even among the
French themselves concede that the Mex
leans, did they possess arms, might des-
troy the whole army of occupation in
detail. These officers are heartily disgust
ed with the Mexican affair, and are loud
in denouncing the blind folly that inau-
gurated it. Little annoying revolutions
and prOnlmciamentOS are continually occur
ing to haraSs the French and keep them
on the move, giving them plenty of weari-
some marching, petty fights, and no
glory
RUNNING AWAY WITH A PRINCE.-The
Russian Imperial family have been in a
state Of CONSERVATION IN consequence of
an attempt to capture one Of their mem
bers-although the attacking party was
nothing more than a French actress.
She succeeded in carrying off her prey as
far as Berlin, and but for telegraphic
wires, through whose malefcentagency the
fight Of the happy couple to Paris was
ruthlessly interrupted, their Imperial
Maiesties would have had to endure the
modification of plebeian niece, the hero
of the adventure being no less a person
age than his Imperial Highness the Duke
of Leuchtenberg, eldest son of the En-
press's eldest sister, Grand Duchess Marie,
aged %. The youthful inamorate was
ANONYMOUSLY escorted back to ST. Pc
tersburg by a Prussian police agent,
whose company must have been a dis
agreeable contrast to that of the rosy
winged god under whose egis he had left
his grand ducaI palace. The marriage
was to have taken place in Paris, and in
consequence Of a written promise having
been signed by him a very large sum of
money has been paid over to the disap-
pointed fancf9, who, if she has missed a
grand duCal cOrOnet, has at least, made q
good thing of her attempt to secure one.
GARIBALDI, ON AMERICAN AFFAIRs.-The
following is a translation of a letter from
General Garibaldi to the editor of the
Public Opinion :-''Sir,-I always con-
sidered from the beginning that the Anne
rican question was one which concerned
all humanity and the whole world, and |
was grieved to see that a part of the En-
glish public We're opposed to the r%estora-
ton of union in the great Republic
which arose, it is we'll known, from causes
of rancour which pre-existed between En-
gland and America; but it was a sad thing
that the good sense Of the people who
first established the principle of enamel
patton of the slaves did not manifestitself in
applause to the North Americans, who
showed themselves to be the instruments
of Providence in carrying out that sub
lime idea. May these lords Of the ocean
agree then for the good of oppressed hui
mainly! Sons of the same mother, may
they see that their noble race is nova
