Tho Paris correspondent of tho London Times
gives a minute account of tho circumstan-
ces under which the Emperor Napoleon dis
patched Mr.. Lallaird on official mission
to Mexico. He was sent to the palace,
when the Emperor said he wanted him
to set out without delay for Mexico with q
message from him to Macmillan that he corusid-
cred that he (Napoleon) had fulfilled all the
obligations imposed upon him. and that the time
had now arrived when Macmillan must depend
upon bis own resources without the help OF the
French army. Lallard asked for some ereden-:
tials. but the Emperor observed that there was no
necessity for any documents; all ne had 70 DO was
simply to represent to Maximilian the eonversa-
he had just had. and that would suffice. He re-
commended Mr.. Lalliard, moreover, to lose no
time in setting out for Mexico. but to depart by
the irststeamer. : ~ r. q fSs

circular of the evening of the 24h says that since
our last the chief features Of the American secu-
rites have been some few large transactions IN

we're taken rs high So but lower quotations per

estimates Of the probable supply Of cotton to
