pa, The Times Paris correspondent writes The
French Government, it is said, has received dis
patches from Washington which put an end to the
Mexican question. The terms appear to be those
of our Government evacuation within one year,
and non intervention during evacuation.
The Emperor was heard to say lately that his
own people and the American people were against
him in this affair, and that the two people did no,
comprehend it as be comprehended it but that il
would be foolish on his part to push policy which
countered much hostility, and that 1t was bis
duty under the circumstances to cede the point.
So long, however, as he remained in Mexico. he
would not suffer himself or Maximilian to be ct.
tackled without resenting it. much as be would re-
greet to war with the people Of the United States
whom he liked and respected.
With such dispositions on both sides ii Is easy "a
be seen that an understanding was to have been
looked for and was in fact the only logical solution

DA vnaHr's LEcruRr.-We listened with great
pleasure and interest the other night to DR.. D. F.
wrights lecture on the origin of the Roman En-
pire. twas an essay full Of point eloquence and
learning, and clothed in style as splendid and
elegant as its subject was grand and classical. The
Doctors course was somewhat unique, exhibiting
to the audience vivid retrograde panorama Of
Rome from the zenith of her imperial greatness to
the obscure pastoral village of the seven hills thus
glancng backward through a period Of seven or
eight centuries from Augustus to Romulus and Re-
mus He noted, with striking effect, the transition
of Rome from the political to the ecclesiastical
supremacy Of the world. He touched upon the
Roman arts, architecture and laws as they occurred
in his retrospective excursion, and finally brought
into full view the simple foundation on which vas
subsequently reared the mighty fabric that en-
quilted the civilized world. He drew a sharp and
broad distinction between the status Of the plebs
aud populus in the empire which the historical
reader may do well to remember; and he also
marked ;sc difference between the Roman and
American republics.
We have not space for anything like synopsis
of this fine lecture, and can only thus mention
some of its prominent points. DR.. Wright init
mated that two more lectures would be necessary
to fulfill his purpose-one on the Progress, and one
on the Fall of the Roman Empire.
On Thursday the goth inst, DR.. D. r. Wright
will give his second lecture to the Cremanthian
Society on the History of the Roman Republic
As the proceeds Of the lecture viii be given to the
Orphan Asylum which is to be established among
us the attendance will, doubtless, include our whole
population, the ladies especially, who are keenly
interested in the success of the undertaking.

brought to the highest perfection are, without e1
