THE FRENCH SCHEMES IN MEX
leo EXPOSED.

Very important changes may shortly be
expected in our diplomatic relations with one
or two Foreign powers, says Washington
letter writer to the Baltimore transcript of
yesterday, if certain information which comes
to me through a reliable channel is confirmed.
The course Of the French Government, not
outstanding its most pacific protestations,
has not been satisfactory, and upon careful
investigation it has been ascertained that so
far from any reduction in the French force in
Mexico having been made, it has been actu-
ally augmented
The troops sent home, whose arrival at
French ports is chronicled, are chiefly inval-
ids, whilst those who are sent back to supply
their places, are never mentioned Under
these circumstances, it is not improbable that
the President may at an early day, deem it
expedient to call the attention of Congress to
the fact, and to repeat in such form as he
may deem best the views enunciated by his
predecessor, James Monroe
Sumner and the other Radicals have got
wind Of this move, and are badly puzzled
what to do. To oppose the assertion of a
doctrine which is generally popular, and par
ticularly so with military men, is simply to
cut their political throats
They know that Grant, Sherman, Sher-
idan, and all the great leaders Of the war ia
vor intervention in Mexican affairs, and are
only restrained by the prudential counsels
of the President and Secretary of State from
giving their sanction to movements which
might disturb our amicable relations with
foreign powers, whilst to give in then adhe~
sion to the policy likely to be enumerated
would necessarily result in the speedy reuni-
ton Of the country and the admission of the
Southern representati, results which they
are anxious to prevent.
Great events are now taking shape here,
and you may expect to get very startling
intelligence at any moment
The President was never more fully master
Of the situation than at this time, and the
passage Of the Civil Rights Bill over the veto
does not disturb him in the least.
In fact be regards it as saving him from
much embarrassment as it disposes of a
| troublesome question and Congress must be
responsible for any bad results which may
flow from the execution of the law.
The French Emperor sagacious and reti-
cent as he is, has not been able to conceal his
tracks. 1t is well known here that ever since
1850, he has been seeking the means of OBJ
tanning foethod upon this continent, and
he awaited himself of civil war to take bis
initiatory steps.
1t has entered into his contemplation as
sequence to the establishment of an Imperial
Government in Mexico, TO exercise a CONTROL.
