MEXICO AND FRANCE.-There is q posi-
bility of trouble between France and theI
United States, With regard to Mexico
Late cable advices inform us that the En-
press Corlotta has succeeded to some ex
tent in her mission to Napoleon in behalf
of Maximilan, who has agreed to furnish
equipments for the 1atter's troops, aud has
also extended the time for the departure
OF the French troops from Mexico until
January next. And rnmor has it that
sufficient number OF French vessels are to
be sent to Matamoras to enforce Max1mll-
ian's blockade, which late proclamation
of President johnson declared null and
void
We pity this unfortunate country. But
for the moral Intervention OF the United
States. Maximilian and :lis French allies
wond have had no difficulty i'll maintain
ing sable government, and opened
chance for the improvement and progress
OF that magnificent country it would have
developed industry ia all its forms. aud
have ntributed by the interchange of
commodities to the wealth and prosperity
OF our own country. The dog in the
manager" policy pursued by the United
| States towards Mexico has been hurttul
alike to both, and we shall be glad to see
this matter brought to direct issue, and
Mexico either '.absorbed" by the Uni,ed
States or the government Of Max:milian
:. recognized.
