FROM W WASHINGToN.
Removal of the French from mexic

made to this Government, there Is no doubt
that information has been verbally furnish
ed of Napoleon's Intention to remove the
French troops from Mexico at the earliest
practicable time, the arrangements for that
purpose now being in progress. The rea-
son why the first detachment or one-third
of the troops, has not embarked in Novem.
Der, according TO the Emperor's own pro-
gramme, is that the other two.thirds might
have been seriously damaged by the Liber-
ais, who were |ersistently pressing them.
10 obviate such result it was deemed
more prudent, as a military necessity, to
remove them all at once. There is now no
doubt that this will be done.
Much speculation has been INDUCED in
as TO the actual mission of Lieutenant Cen
eral Sherman in accompanying Minister
Campbell to Mexico. The truth is, how
ever, he was designated as an adviser to
that gentleman, both as regards diplomatic
affairs In Mexico aud military movements
on the frontier, should an emergency arise
to require new disposition of our troops.
But since the reception of the Emperor's
Intentions with regard to the removal OF
his army, 1t Is not thought that such a ne
cessity will occur.
The last news received by the Govern
ment respecting Macmillan is that he was
permit him to leave Mexico unless he
formally resigned his crown.
On Thursday last Secretary Seward COM
municated to the special Cabinet meeting
the draft of his dispatch to Minister Biglow,
commenting on NapOleOn's breach of agree
ment to withdraw the French troops from
Mexico during this month. After it was
read the Cabinet unanimously voted that it
should be made stronger, insisting that the
French troops be Withdrawn according to
the programme agreed on in June last. The
cable news to-day shows that this dispatch
had its effect. The French Minister received
a dispatch to-day by cable from Moustier,
the French Minister of State, announcing
that fourteen vessels would sail Immediate
lY from Brest for Vera Cruz, where the
French troops in Mexico were required to
rendezvous for their embarkation to France.
Ten additional vessels will leave by the
middle OF December. BY the 10th of jan
uary all of the French troops will probably
be out OF Mexico. This solves authorita-
lively and finally the Franco-Mexican
muddle.
NEW YORK, Nov, 30.-The Worlds Wash
ingtOn special says: From one who has
read the dispatch from the French Minister
of State, Moustier, to Count Montholon, |
learn that the principal reason given by
Napoleon for the delay in withdrawing the
French troops is, that the latter had been
! so severely pressed by the Mexican forces
that 1t was dangerous to attempt an evacu-
alton until the military situation became
| easier. Regarding the military status of
affairs, the withdrawal of the French forces
Is regarded almost wholly as superceding
General Sherman's mission.

States.

that the contest forPresident of the United
] States Senate will be between Senators
Wade, of Ohio, Anthony, OF Rhode Island,

been informed by the President that they
can effect nothing more than is being done.

Efforts 10 Defeat Gov. SwRnn's
Election. ...
The Maryland Unionists are now plan
| ming how they may defeat Governor
| Swann's election to the United States SEN
ate, vice Cresswell, whose term soon eX-
pires. They confidently assert that there
are enough original r, bells elected to the
| legislature, old and bitter enemies of Swami,
] to work with the Union members in secur-
| ing his defeat. 1t now looks as If they
might be successful. Several of the Union
members have declared that they will vote
| for an out and out confederate rather than
allow Swami to be chosen. The latter has
had another interview with the President,
| who has promised him all his official
patronage and support in securing the
Senatorship.
