NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The Herald's
Washington special says: 1t is inti-
mated in official circles that the French
Government has declared its purpose
not to abide by the arrangement con-
cluded with Mr.. Seward to withdraw
the French troops from Mexico this
fall, and poStponeS the withdrawal till
next spring. 1t is believed that this
was the subject before the Cabinet yes
terday.
The arrest of Ortega turns out to have
been voluntary act on the part of
Sheridan, but it has been approved by
the Government. 1t appears that Or
small clique of French and British
merchants who are anxious to secure
the trade of Mexico, and prevent its
falling into American hands. The ma
tive population unanimously adhere to
Juarez.
The cotton frauds, us developed in
the investigations by the Retrenchment
Committee, are assuming prodigous
proportions.
The business of smuggling, on the
Canadian and Rio Grande borders, is
rapidly decliningj owing to the vigil
lance exercised by the Government
officers. l-.g
The Chamber of Life Insurance, yes-
terday, resolved that the people ought
to be protected as effectuaIly as possible
from all unsafe ind fraudulent schemes

seek an enactment by Congress, apply

AS far as can be ascertained, the in
structions to Minister Dix have but lit
tie reference to Mexican affairs, our
Government relying upon NapOleon's
promise TO withdraw his troops from
Mexico. Tho rumor that Napoleon had
satisfied the Washington cabinet for the
postponement of the withdrawal until
spring, is untrue, for our relations
with Mexico are less complicated
than later dispatches from this city
would indicate. Minister Campbell has
no instructions whatever, touching a

Sherman Is simply to view the military

his assurance that our Government
will sustain the constitutional party.
1t is confidently believed that such
representation will be sufficient to
check all revolutionary plots, and Sc
cure stability to the Juarez Govern
ment.
