with the soVereigns of these two kingdoms
You have shared with me the general INDIGNATION
produced by the assassination of President Lincoln:
and recently the death of the King of the Belgians
has caused unanimous regrets.
In Mexico the government founded upon the will
OF the people is being consolidated, and opposition
conquered and dispersed. The national troops have
displayed valor and the country has found guaran-
tees of order and security which have dev eloped its
resources and raised its commerce. with France alone

ditlon was approaching its termination 1 am coming
to an understanding with the Emperor Maxmilian
to fix the epoch for recall of our troops Before

French interests which have been defending in

Daily Netos says:
1t has transpired in Court circles that the EN-
peror Napoleon is greatly displeased with the En-
peror Macmillan on very many grounds especially
on account of the bad reception given to the French
Chancellor of State sent to Mexico to take the
finances in hand and it is insinuated that this is one
reason for Withdrawing the French troops The key
to the Imperial conduct is however, thought to be
contained in the following words, with which the
Emperor supplemented his notice of the withdrawal
of the French army: The emotion produced in the
United States by their [the soldiers) presence on
Mexican soil would be appeased.'"
