that 1t was an understood thing, on
the part of the majority in the Senate,
to, decline action on,any of the new
appointments of the PRESIDENT in
cases where an incumbent had been
removed without any other cause
Than being thought an opponent of
the Presidents policy. This decision
OF the majority has already been put
IN practice, and viii. / hear. be
firmly and unfiinchingly adhered to.
1t is asserted, however, by the friends
OF the President. that this action of
the Senate will not cause him to
wayer m ipstant-in the course he has
seen fit to pursue, hut that he will
on and make such reno yals as in- il:
Judgment may appear necessary. TO
Appointment gentleman, Yesterday, he
asserted that he would appoint no
man to Office who did not give a cor
dial and he'rty support to his mea-
sures for the restoration of the Union.
and he further intimated that no
avowed opponent of those measures
now III office would be allowed to re-
main there.
This is bold stand to take, but
those who know the President init
matelf say that he is fully capable of
maintaining it,.
Parties holding the coupons due
for payment on the 1st proxim D.

The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore San says:
The official documents on the sub
lect of the evacuation of Mexico bv
the French have just been printed by
the Government Printing Bureau
The principal ones appeared in the
papers ot the 22d, but in addition to
that information, it may be interest
ing to learn that NJ Drown de
fHuys informed Minister Bigelow, in
January, that the French Govern
lnent had no intention to take the
Egyptian troops to Mexico. but that
it adhered entirely to the policy
heretofore announced to our Minister
on that subject. On Mr.. Bigelow's
asking him if he could give an idea
of the guarantees which he hoped to
obtain from Mexico, NJ. Drouyn de
lHnys replied that they did not, of
course, expect to get the money
owing them, but they hoped for some
thing which, they might regard ~ en-
equivalent. That, however. was
matter of negotiation between them
and Mexico. Mr. Bigelow says: "I
then asked whether it would not be
possible, IN some way, 10 arrest the
useless and demoralizing warfare
that was carried on in Mexico be-
tween Maximilian and the Juarists,
at least, while these negotiations
were going on-that is, while the
French occupation should last. He
said he wished there was; that the
atrocities practiced-t there were really
too dreadful to speak Of: but he did
not know that he could do anything
to discourage it, and asked if I had
anything to suggest. L said [ sup
posed that if the Jnarists wore sure
that the French were intending to
leave Mexico within short time,
which seemed reasonable to them,
and that they would then have a fine
chance OF trying conclusions with
Mammalian party, they would be
willing to leave him nndisturhed if
by him, and that if
France OF MaXimiIian had any indi-
rect means in coming TO such an un-
derstanding with Juarez, it might
render the situation less embarrassing
to all parties. His eXcellency replied
that lie would be very glad if that
were practicable. as it would enable
them to leave the country so much
the sooner. but they had no means of
communicating with Juarez, and he
asked me if l could suggest any mode
of accomplishing that purpose. 7 re-
piled that We had relations, as he was
aware, with Senor Romero, and any
thing that he would rauthorize me to
