The London Times announces in mosten-
lOgstie terms, that Mr.. Peabody has in
creased his previous munifcient donation
for the benefit of the London poor, by
another hundred thousand pounds, making
total gift of a quarter million pounds ster-
ling. The Times is unable to find adequate
terms to express acknowledgements Of the
noble act of charity, and says the amount
of the gift, though not perhaps its most sd-
mirable characteristic, is itself sufficient to
render any expression of gratitude insignif-
eient- II is probably the most splendid act
Of munificient charity on record.

FRANCE.-The Paris journals actively dis
cuss the Mexican question. The Constitution
81 defends the position Of the French,govern-
ment and is evidently inspired by foreign
office and seeks to dissipate disquiet in the
public mind. The Imperial government
will never yield to intimidation, and no
excitement, whether existing at home or
abroad, will make the Emperor relax in his
habitual solicitude for moral and material
interests in the country. The troops from
Mexico will return precisely on the condi-
lions mentioned in his speech from the
throne, namely: Without endangering the
French interests we have gone to defend in
hose distant countries. The Constitutional
expresses the belief that the Americans will
conform to the law Of fnon-intervention and
as follows Finally, none of the
lark forebodings by which public opinion
S sought to be alarmed will be realized,
he peace of the world will not bo disturbed,
md we affirm boldly that the French inter
ssts in Mexico will be in no danger.

The London Times remarks that Spain
enaciously refused to accept the declaration
f Congress, of Paris, in favor Of abolishing
,revateerinG. A very short time would en-
BILE the Chilian government to commission
uch fleet of privateers, that the Spanish
commerce will be impossible, and even ves-
els of war will be in danger Of being cap
ured singly. The Times thinks another
md more vigorous diplomatic effort will be
