The Mexican Question-How VIII 1t End:
1t is now everywhere believed that the Emperor
Macmillan has decidedly quilted Mexico, and there
Is no doubt but that a determined effort will be
made by the United States to firmly establish Juarez
in the Presidency of the Mexican republic. But by
what crossroads has the Mexican Emperor left his
capitalH And has he done so in order to avoid
meeting Monsieur de Castenau, the special envoy
Of Napoleon Ill? How will all this endr Is the
American Government to assume the formal pro-
tectorateH Is France to receive guarantee for any
portion of the expense of this ilstarred expedion3
On these points no reliable information has as yet
leaked out, and indefinite anxiety is felt about the
next news from Mexico, which is expected to arrive
very shortly via Southampton, by the steamboat
Seine.
Passing the Time at COmpiegne.
The stay of the Court at Compiegne promises to
be but brief this year, Tor there is talk of an un.
usually early assembling OF the Senate and the
Corps LegisIatif to enable these bodies to get
through the larger portion OF their deliberations
before the opening OF the Exhibition.
What with the sittngs of the Army Commission,
shooting parties, and stag hunts, the Emperor and
his guests work very hard.
The second series of guests leave Compiegne to.
day, to make room for the third series, who will
arrive tomorrow.
The Empress and Her Excursion to Rome.
Many people now seriously believe in this pilgri,
mage to the shrine OF the departing temporal power,
which Is intended as proof OF the confidence with
which the Empress Is animated, and of the profound
sympathies felt In the highest quarters towards the
Holy Father. 1t is, however, not yet known
whether visit will be undertaken with the
tion of the Emperor; but whether such be the case
or not, at juncture like the present, when the
Convention of September is at its maturity, it is
not strange that 1t should excite so much attention
The imperial yacht L'AiSle Is to be In readiness
to receive the Empress and her suite on the 9th Of
December.
Ministerial Changes.
Reports of notifications in the Ministry are now
being spread about, and think, from inquiries
that there is some basis for them. Monsieur Rouher
the Minister of State, does not at all relish the idea
Of seeing Count Walewski preside in the CJrpS
LegiSLaf next session, for NJ, Rouher fancies that
he Is not exactly the right in the right place.
1t is probable that, in compensation the Count
win take the Ministry OF the Emperor's household,
now held by Marshal Valiant. If this should take
place, there will be great many changes among
high personages In the Cabinet.
