The supposed mission of General Schoheld APP
pearsto be Tie subject Of unbounded curiosity and
comment in Paris. The Generals movements are
chronisled daily BY the Paris newspapers, and fol
lowed with keen inquisitiveness BY the correspond
sents of the London press. But nothing Of conse-
anence has vet been developed. It is not even
certain that General Schoheldas presence in Paris
has any connection with subjects Of q diplomatic
character. It would, indeed, be very strange #
the American government had entrusted the con-
duct Of the discussions arising out Of the Mexican
question to an unrecognized agent, when they
have Minister at Paris who u supposed to pas
sess their full confidence. To suppose that Gen.
Schofeld is charged with a diplomatic mission to
the French government, would be TO infer Q
studied slight to MI. Bigelow. II that gentleman
is not capable Of attending to such matters he had
better Ne recalled atonce
| In this connection the correspondent Of the
Londcn Herald intimates that the French govern
ment Is extremely DESTROYS to withdraw its troops
from Mexico, but that it will not and cannot do so
under the compulsion of a threat. On the other
hand The correspondent Of the News thinks that
Louis Napoleon will be forced to yield to the pres
sure Of the United States exerted through Gen.
Schofield. ii may be that the French Emperor
intends or at least desires, I'd withdraw his CON
tingent from the service Of Macmillan; but there
are 10 indications that he contemplates abandon
ing the Imperial cause in Mexico On tie contra.
Ery, his urgent demand that the Austrian contin-
gent Of 10000 men be filled up at once, would
lead to infer that he wishes to leave force in
Mexico equivalent to any that he may retire from
that country. b. Fould, the French Minister Of
Finance, gets much credit by managing to make
both ends meet during the current year--at least
In anticipation. he makes savings enough to re.
duce The expenditures to level with The receipts.
In England the affairs Of Jamaica are exciting
more than ordinary attention. The energy with
which Gov. Eyre suppressed the recent insurrec-
ton has given rise to numerous charges Of wanton
cruelty and severity, which are debated with ex-
traordinary acrimony. Meetings to condemn the
Governor and meetings to sustain him are held in
various parts Of tho country. In the meantime, a
commission has been sent out to Jamaica to exam
inc and report on the facts. The principal antag-
onists Of Gov. Eyre are the phlanthropists Of Exc
ter Hall, who would applaud the massacre OF a
thousand or two Of white adyersaries. or even of
ANY number Of Sepoys, but who think Tie execu-
ton Of q, negro murderer excessively barbarous,
and not by any means to be tolerated.
