Coz A. P. FrEID.--We are informed by a
person who is presumed to be conversant with
the facts, that Col A. P. Field was not pres
ent at the so-called convention on Monday
last that, on the contrary, when he was in
formed thata large number Of negroes had
congregated at Mechanics Institute, hesought
GOV, Wells, in order to urge that official to
cause the dispersal Of the crowd but not
finding the Governor in his Office, he left the
building without even going UP stairs, and re-
turned to his home. where he now is, con
finedto bed by sickness. The same inform
ant asserts that Col. Field did not approve Of
the ineendiary language used BY some of the
orators at the meeting Of Friday last, and
claims that lis speech, if correctly reported,
would prove this to be the case.

FROM MExIco.-A gentleman formerly in the
Confederate service, but who has been for the
last twelve OF fourteen months in Mexico, where
he held position of some Importance in con
nection with the commercial interests of the
empire, arrived in the city yesterday, and rep
resents matters there in a light somewhat differ
entfrom thereports made by the correspondents
Of the Northern press He says that the en-
peror, So far from preparing to abdicate, Or to
renounae his authority and Office is strength
eningthimself by all possible means that he is
enlarging his army, consolidating his power
adding to his military resources, and in every
way preparing for the maintenance Of his au-
thority against all opposition. The expecta-
tion that the moral and material support of
France would be withdrawn from the
empire is not well founded. Not France
only, but Austria and Belgium, are
thoroughly pledged to the maintenance
OF Imperial authority, and the best
classes Of the native population are commit
ted to the same cause. The Austrian and
French troops consist Of about 80, 600 men,
and our informant represents them as being as
fine soldiers as the world affords, amply pro-
Tided with artillery and ordnance stores, and
thoroughly equipped for field service. These
troops form the nucleus of the Imperial army.
The threatening attitude Of the United
States forces on the Rio Grande is looked
upon without any apprehension Of danger to
imperial interests not only because it is be-
ieved the United States are pledged to neu-
trality in Mexican matters, but because it is
not believed there is any wish on the part Of
our government to interfere with the free
choice of the Mexican people as to the form
of government under which they may prefer
to live. The recent temporary successes Of the
Liberals on the Rio Grande, have in no wise
affected the prospects or stability Of the en-
pire and the visit of the empress to Europe
is in the interest Of the permanency of the I'm
peiial government,
Such are the reports and views Of an intelli-
gent gentleman just returned from Mexico,
with opportunities of ascertaining the drift Of
public and official sentiment, and they seem
to be oorroborated by other adyiees we are
daily receiving from the same quarter

CALL FOR A CONSERVATIVES STATE CONVENTION
IN New YoRr.-Tho New York papers Of Thurs
day published the following call for State con
venton to elect delegates to the Philadelphia con-
yention
The loyal electors of this State are requested to
meet in their respective assembly districts ON or
before the first Monday in August next, and APP
point two delegates to attend State convention
to convene at Saratoga Springs on Thursday, the
9lh OF August next, to appoint delegates to the
National Union Convention, and transact such
other business as may be deemed best calculated
10 unite the loyal citizens of the State in sustain
ing the administration, and in restoring relations
of Brotherhood among the people of the States.
BY the language and spirit Of the call it will be
perceived that those who refused their support to
the government in putting down the rebellion, and
those who approve of the action of Congress in
keeping loyal Representatives out of their seats,
and loyal States out of the Union, are excluded
from the invitation, and are not expected to par
tiepate in the preliminary meeting, or TO take
seats in the convention.
