WAsHINGToN, Jan. z.
1t has been erroneously stated that the
French and United States Governments had
arrived at an understanding with regard to
Mexican affairs. 1t is Known, however, that
Macmillan has not met his present engage
ments with Napoleon for eeping the French
troops in Mexico, and that the French Empe-
ror is not rallying to support the military
force there at his own expense.
INV YORK, Jan. 2.
The Herald has the following from Toron-
to to-day:
Consul Thurston to-day received instruc-
tions that the Government of the United
States will not permit any more cattle to en-
ter the States from Canada. This prohibition
creates intense feeling, not only among the
Canadians, who will be shut out from Ameri-
can markets, but among the United States
traders. By Americans, now purchasing in
that market, it is estimated that forty thou
sand dollars worth OF live stock already pur-
chased in this neiRhborhood, will be thus
cut off from the market for which they were
intended.
