desnatch from III. Drouyn de Lhuys to the
MARQUIS de MontholoD, dated January 8. reply
ing to a communication from MI. Seward dated
December 16, alter announcing that this reply
had been submitted to the Emperor, expresses
the conviction that
"Ihe divergence OF view between the two Cabinets
is the result Of an erroneous appreciation OF the IN
tentlC MS OF France"
NJ. Drouyn dc Lhuys proceeds to state that
France seeks the realization OF no ambitious
IDEAS and says:-
"Now that there is a regular Government in
Mexico, the legitimate object OF our expedition will
our interests and dignity, TO make arrangements
which VIII enable us TO consider the mission of oar
army III heXico as terminated
Another despatch of NJ. Drouyn de Lhuys
dated January 20, 1866, to the French Minister
at Washington, relates conversation OF the
former with Mr.. Bigelow On that occasion Al,
Drouyn de Lhuys declined all official conGro-
versy upon the measures taken by the Emperor
MaXmlan, stating that he could only receive
MIR. Bigelows communications on that subject
as simple lntOrmatlOn. ms rc5erVaJlOn eSta-
blished, the French Minister observed in the
course Of conversation that the measures pointed
out were OF purely admin, strat1ve order,
and did not appear to him to constitute any of
those exceptional derogations that might per-
haps sometimes Justify Government in inter-
vening in the interior affairs OF neighborlng
State. He could not admit that the Federal
Government, not wishing to recognize as legiti-
mate the de tacto Government of Macmillan,
and considering it illusive to address itself to
JuareZ had any ground to apply TO France, in
order TO escape from this embarrassment, and
request explanations troIn her relative to acts
emanating from the SOVEREIGN authority of q
foreign Government. N. DTouyn de Lhuys con-
tinues:-
1--WE return to the principle of uonnterventon,
and IRON the moment we accept 1t az our rule OF
conduct our inte. est and honor require to de-
mand its equal application by all. Relying upon the
equitable spirit OF the Washington Cabinet
pect from 1t The assurance tat the American people
will conform to tIe laW of noniutorventlon, which
they invoke, by mainta ming strict neutrality with
regard to Mexico. When you shall have informed
me the reso ution of the American Government in
this matter, shall be in position to acquant you
with the result of negotiations with the Emperor
MaXiman for the return of our troops"
The documents referring to Mexico have been
sent TO press. They will form a supplementary
pamphlet to the Yellow Book, and will lmmedi
Senators and Deputies. The Government has
decided to issue these documents in conse-
quence OF the publication Of the American
dispatches.
The Paris Bourse was quiet, aud Rentes closed

Archbishop Cullen Den"Gucing the
FeDians.
A Pastoral from the Most Reverend DR.. Cullen
was read from the affairs throughout Dublin on
Sunday, in the course Of which he thus deals
with the Fenlans and the subject OF Fenianism:-
''You will allow me, reverend brethren, to beg
of YOU to caution your focks, AGAIN and again,
against the dangers OF secret and illegal societies,
and to make incessanL exertions to root out
every vestige of the last development which
these societies have taken, under the name of
Fenianism. | know you have been most active
in preventing the growth of this noXious
and poisonous plant and your labors have
merited for you the appreciation of heaven
and earth. For the past, you have
the great great mass OF ,t the P9E
with which they were menaced; and now you
have TO congratulate yourselves that very few,
il any, of those committed TO your pastoral care
have been doomed 10 undergo tine horrors of a
long penal servtude. If your eXertions be con.
tinued in the same prudent and laudable way as
for the past, you may confidently hope that soon
there viii be no more leaVen among us TO cor
rupt the mass, ana that the unfortunate spirit OF
anarchy and irreligon with which we were
threatened shall be completely extinguished
Having written to you on this subject shoIt
time ago. all have now 10 add is, that after all
the revelations which have been made within the
last few weeks, and especially alter the documen
tary evidence that has been published, every
man who does not wish to shut his eyes against
the truth must fully understand that Fenian.
ism is not, indeed, a dangerous or powerful
but, indeed, a foolish and wicked conspiracy
against the existing civil authorities and still
more against the divinely constituted authorIt,
of the Church of God. It's effects have beel
most injurious to the cOuntry, turning ava.
the minds of the people from their Legitimate
occupations to wicked, wild, and impracticabl'
projects, disturbing the course of trade, inter
rupting business, and giving a pretext to tn
Orange lodges TO arm all their members, aa
even reckless boys to the great risk Of th
1an -. IA.
sion against poor Catholics who had no cor
nection whatever with the Fenians or thei
follies.n
