The French Chambers are convoked lot tne
odd of this month and you may look out IoA
some strong expressions OF opinion on ths SUI W.
jec: OF the Mexican Empire: Most oa 1ne
French had begun to feel the stronger repug-
nance TO that Empire, especially since sney
have found that IL costs them so much ana
paws them nothing. Ever since the beginning
of the enterprise 1t has been unpopular aIu
the whole OF the independent press OF the
country is now louder than ever in its denuncla'
tions of the concern and celebrations 10 nave
done with it. There is foolish impression
prevalent at your side OF the Atlantic that
the French press dares not speak out against
the measures and policy of the Government
Il very complete mistake. 1t is far more dan
gerous in America for newspaper TO crlticlse
the Policy of the President as The DIty
EetCs has some reason TO know. Here is The
Rer,te DIES Deur HD1,deS of the first Of the month,
which not only enlarges upon the various rea-
sons for leaving the Emperor Maximilian
(after certain given tlme) entirely 10 ms own
resources but coolly calls upon the Emperor
to Law before the Chambers the true statement
of the accounts, and not TO be hiding from the
public how much Mexican Empire comes to /;
taunts him also with his blunders in colonial
ton and sarcaStiCally invites him to write
pamphlet on Mexico, rs he has lately written
one on Algeria, adding:
His Maiesty's Algerian brochure has not
attracted so much attention among the public
rs it ought, but we promise him most bril-
limit and universal success for his work on
Mexico if it frankly exposes the true state Of
things and promises 10 put an end to the
French protectorate. All Frenchmen will hail
such mastery performance of his Majesty
Yet the Rerue does not even get a warning,
still less is the writer kidnapped and sent to
the Fortress Of Ham without any warning at
all.
The conclusion of the writer in this most
influential periodical is, that as MaXimillan
went to Mexico relying upon French support
that support should be continued to him long
enough to give the new Government fair
chance of establishing itselt-but not Tor ever
the French did not bargain for that. Iley
would stand il, he thinks, another year. Let
4 day be fixed then, as 1t has been, Tor the
withdrawal of the French troops from Rome
As the 18th of September is TO see the French
army brought home from Rome, so let the 5ISt
of December thereafter be the day on which
the other French army is TO come home from
Mexico If Macmillan cannot stand alone
by that time, he Will never stand. All TINS
matter is viewed and treated from french
point of view alone, and Oh grounds OF french
policy and French finance, without reference
in Washington In fact, it is believed here
and this is the chief ground Of uneasiness-
that q threat OF armed Intervention, or
pcremptory demand of evacuation, coming
from the United States, would have the effect
of keeping the French forces longer in Mexico
and of trebling their numbers ard quadrupling
the expense.
Here is an amusing account of the state of
things in the United States, published by a
Paris newspaper few days ago:
Lot from \ mpriCl inform that the
scarcity of specie is so very great that the news
paprrs-thc Richmond Enquirer ca tete--are
receiving the amount Of their subscriptions IN
merchandise of every species wheat, oats,
hay, whisky, butter lard, pork, eggs, chick
ems etc The price of railroad tickets is also
paid in kind, if the traveller desires it. Coal
being but little known in America, STICK OF
wood gives, for example, Il right to seat IN
the second class for Il short journey but q
good fagot of dry oak pays for seat In the
first class And this is the way people regen-
crate themselves ,''
1t is easy to divine where these Letters
from America We're written. j. NJ
