WASHINGTON October 2}.-The attitude of thi
Government towards Mexico, and the condition
of affairs in that country as previously commu
nicated to you, is fully confirmed The French
Government have asked Tor delay of the time
tor the withdrawal of the FIRST instalment o
their troops until the 1st of January, with the
promise that il this time is granted 1t viii waive
the time allowed Tor the removal OF the remain
ing detachments, and remove all SUBSTANTIALLY
at one time. TO this our Government has not
assented, but insists that the Wlthdrawal snall
commence at once, and proceed as vigorously as
possibe. 1t s more than hoped that the whole
body of French troops VIII leave Mexican soil
within three months.
In view of the possibility of disturbances in
the country and the anarchy arising from the
numerous factions and cliques that have for so
long cursed that land, our Government will be
prepared TO protect the recognized republican
Government OF Juarez. and establish II on
firm and secure footing. In consideration OF
these services the cession OF Lower Call
fornia and the northern portions of the States
of Sinaloa and Chihuahua is made TO the United
States. II Is no part OF the agree nent yet made
that the United States is TO guarantee the
claims OF France against Mexico, though such a
course may yet appear eXpedient and proper,
in which case the Government of this country
will not hesitate to take the responsibility.
The main point sought is to enforce the
Monroe doctrine by removing European inter-
vention from Mexican affairs and securing to
that country stable republican form OF gov
ernment. The responsibility of this under
taking has 0een fully discussed by the CaDlnet,
and the decision has been unanimously arrived
at that the time has come for the energetic
action indicated in the proceedings above fore
shadowed. These proceedings have nov taken
definite form and shape, and have entered so far
in TO prosecution as 10 be beyond recall.
Col. Campbell, the Minister to Mexico.
The statement printed to-day in New York
paper that Colonel Campbell, Minister by ap-
pointment to Mexico, has not received his In
structions is altogether untrue. These instruc.
tiOns were prepared on Saturday last, but as
Colonel Campbell did not arrive in town until
Sunday, they were not delivered to him until
to-day. He now has them, but is doubtful il.
in justice to himself, he can depart for Mexico
Immediately, as required by the instructions.
Colonel Campbell has been very heavy loser
by the recent floods near Cincinnati, and his own
interests demand his presence there at this time.
He has this evening asked the President to grant
him leave 10 remain here long enough to fix up
his personal affairs. 1t is understood that the
Presidents rely is that the urgency of the case
admits of no delay, and that it Colonel Campbell
cannot depart at once, another Minister must be
appointed in his place. At this writing it is not
settled whether Campbell GOES or not: but if he
declines going, another Minister will be ap-
pointed to-morow.-M z. Times,
