Ii is expected that the Committee Of

porl some Of their proposed amendments 10

those relative to incomes and exemptions.
They have not considered the branches
with regard 10 distilled spirits and the al

seized aud p-eyen ed from being u-ed as q
ChIlian privateeer, said the President % de-
ssmined that the neutrality laws Of the

the Fenians seriously endanger it.
NEw YoEE, April 22.-Ihe Paris cores
poniecce of the London Pc says the
French government communicated its rea-
sons for evacuaiing Mexico to Mr.. Bgelow,
the q. S. Minister at Paris, and since, as
your readers are aware, Mr.. Seward has
addressed to the ministerial government
long dispatch, in which he sets forth the
views Of the Washington Cabinet touching |
the Mex .nan empire.
The Washington Government witnesses !
with satisfaction the withdrawal of the army |
Of a great European power from American |
soil. The United States Government has |
no intention Of departing ffom its neutrality |
towards MaxmiliGn, nor when the French |
are W .thdrawn, viii il in any way modify /
its policy towards the newly established !
Empire. The United States Will not &C |
knowledge the Empire Of Maximilian, nor |
enter in-o any relations with Macmillan, /
saving those demauded by commerce.
So the matter stands between France and |
the United States. And now Macmillan /
is recruiting his volunteers in Germany and /
Be GUM, and expects TO get at least twenty /
Thousand mea TO replace the French before /
they have ali finally embarked in Novem-
Der, 1867. il is a very expensive affair, /
and will prove 10 be a heavy call on the \
Mexican eXehequer. SO far as France is /
concerned, there is q great detraction in /
thus delaying the final retirement Of the
French army until 1857.
