Great Changes Impending In Mexico.
From the Wortd
The knot of the Mexican question has been
reached. We shall presently see it either cut or
united. Our Minister to the Government of
Juarez-the Government which ours has steadily
recognized throug hout the French occupation
has left for Mexico. Since the return of Mr..
Corwin in the early part of 1864, we have had
no diplomatic representative in that country
We could not accredit one to the deluded in
truder who is about to retire from the transient
throne; it was useless to maintain one so near
Juarez, who, SO far from being able to protect
American interests in Mexico, was fugitive
from his capital. The sending of a Minister to
him betokens his imme diate restoration. In
November, now close upon us, Napoleon, by
his engagement, will begin to embark the
French troops for their homeWard voyage. 1t
is surmised that, instead OF recalling them by
lnstalments, as contemplated at first, he has
made arrangements TO withdraw them in BODY
The sailing of "a great French fleet for the Gulf
for this purpose, has been announced The
throne OF Macmillan has been supported wholly
by French bayonets; it necessarily falls and
crumbles TO dust the moment they are with
drawn.

But the interests of princes are trivial when
weighed against the interests of mankind,
/ Though our humanity is touched by the mis-
fortunes of persons nurtured in the soft atmo-
sphere OF royalty, we nevertheless rejoice in the
conspicuous failures which signallze the present
year. The progress OF liberal ideas, Which has
