 His speech (Marshal Forcy'sj we do not hesitate to say, is the antipodes of what, in our opinion, is the true interest of France in this delicate and knotty subject. 'es @H'
 He has too long gazed with d soldiers eyes upon the situation inwhich we have placed ourselves in the New World. We have under taken q great task there. Whether it is easy or difficult, whether it obtains the sympathy of the United States or not, the Marshal is is unwilling to abandon it. Whet we have un- dertaken should be finished. Righ, demands it, honor commands it, and France should make a good bargain of her pecuniary sacri- fees "that the reproach of not having under stood the grand idea of the Emperor may not be incurred"
 The Marshal is consequently of the opinion not only that we ought to keep the troops in Mexico which are there at present, but that we must send new ones. Oil. saein sid
 Such is the salient idea of his speech, as maybe read in the official report.
 We will content ourselves with adding, in order to give an exact idea of tho reasoning of Marshal Forey, that in his opinion our occu- patton should be limited only by the regener- ating of the Mexican people, since, according to his idea, ,s'they must have time to regener- ate their moral character by contact with our soldiers, so that they may acquire q sense of order and honesty, and the courage whicn animates them, and which all are bound to TO- spect."
 4 A beautiful role, without question, for our army But when will it get through? Inten years, in twenty years, at the end of this cen tury, or in the middle of the next? s'ss
 The Minister of State understood tho com promising nature of this kind of policys He took care to assert--and we are glad he did so-that the Marshal had expressed only his personal opinion; that of the government re- mained as it had been promulgated in the speech of the throne and in the paragraph of the Senate's address. eH1 q e
 As for ourselver, we deeply deplore this way of looking at the Mexican question, and the Marshal would have done we'll to have left to some of our joprnals the privilege and the care of defending these impossible matters, instead of expanding them in the bosom of the Senhte. N @s
 The United States on this occasion have given us an example which we ought to folz lowel They have neglected nothing which could remove all cause of grievance. We re- member the resolutions which, in republican style, were presented to Congress. They were sent to the committee of each of the two houses, but negotiations continue between the Cabinets of Washington and the Tuilleriest and since that time 10 speech has srcsounded within the walls of Congress which could wound the suscepitbilties of the French Government.
 It's worthy of remark, also, that Mr. Bigelow, who has ever pursued policy of concilialion in his mission at Paris, has never theless been confirmed in his nomination as Minister Plenipotentiary to Paris in the sess- ion of. January 20; that is, after the publica- tion of the diplomatic correspondent had put new phase upon the question,
 The Senate of the United States sanctioned on that occasion he policy of equalization, fact wb'ch should not de lost sight ofm tAe French Chambers.
