Paris Inperal Press June, ls66pSuch is the trsnsla
ton of the title Of unpublished supplement to the
Yeliow-Book. Its first twenty pages hled with Mr.
Stewards letter TO NJ. Montholon, dated Washington l
Feb, 1866 The next two pages give Drouyn dc Lhuysr
partial answer to that letter, addressed to n. Monhoon
dated Apl6 The remaining fourteen pages this panph
let filed with ten choice selections from the CORE
spondence of the French Minister of Foreign Affairs with
the French Minister Resident at Mexico of various dae
from August H. 1865, to March 9, 1866 The proper title
of this interesting little work would be "ExoBAsIs Ar
Apology to the French People, BY Their Ruler for Coming
out Of Mexico; With an Explanatory Introduction by W.
Seward" 1t is utter backing down. giving up Of the
successive positions taken by Government from year o
year admission that the attacks those positions
made by the Opposition from year 70 year. and treated
factous and foolish, wise; final contradiction Of c
numerous Observation-Disclosures Of the last four years.
The Of II is that the French Emperor cannot any
longer sustain his Mexican Emperor with or money,
that the F. H. will take from the NJ E. for from Mexico
without the El 4O00O000 francs indemnity for the
losses undergone by French subjects and take them mostly
in Mexican public funds that half the duties o.
Vera Cruz Tampeo, and other ports hereafter TO be fixed,
shall be set apart for the payment 20 France Of the
penses of the expedition; finally, that the y. E. viii

have good time, if he is lucky.
Really, that is the of the arrangement and Of the
consolation offered 10 Max.

Mexican Imperial Provisional Government lately ago
last November 10 be $4,000 600 francs, Of which the
iniquitous Jecker claim is the only important that
has been paid. The Mexican SIX per cents sold yesterday
at 20I and the Mexican bonds, issued at $40 for 500
little more than year ago with monstous lottery chances
sold for I2. These funds sent down little by that
terrible bear Jules Fave. who made speech in the Corps
Lcgstf yesterday taking this specimen Of diplomatic
yellow-coyered literature. Although declining

state Of affairs he the story Of in outline,
touching the Government "raws" point by point The
merceSs severity of the speech lay less in us rhetoric
than in its facts 1t is remarkable that the speak
ing minister, Rouher, bore the scathng without
Offering word in reply. Only one Napoleonie membe1
undertook the defense Of Government IN an extremely
queer speech, which the f. E. will hardly thank him for,
and which will be less amusing reading TO the NJ h.
possible than the YellowBook ITSELF For beside UNDER

applause from the House. and its general drift appeared
