Special Dispatch 10 the Cincinnati Enquirer
WASHINGTON, October %, I866-Theatti
tude of this Government toward Mexico
and the condition Of affairs in that country
as previously communicated TO you, is fully
confirmed. The French Government have
asked for delay Of the time for the with
drawal Of the first installment of their troops.
until the lst Of January, with the promise
that If this time is granted il will waive the
time allowed for the removal Of the remain
ing detachments, and remove all substan-
tally at one time To this our Government
has not assented, but insist that the with
drawal shall commence at once, and proceed
as vigorously as possible.
Il is more than hoped that the whole BODY
Of French troops will leave Mexican soil
within three months. In view Of the possi-
bility Of disturbance in the country, and the
anarchy arising from the numerous factions
and cliques that have for 50 long cursed that
land, our Government will be prepared to
protect the recognized republican Government
Of JUAREz, and establish it on a firm and
decisive footing. In consideration Of these
services the concession Of Lower California
and the northern portions Of the State Of
Sonora and chihuahua is made to the Uni
ted States.
~ - At1 laAL VI kAt agreement VET nlG0e
that the United States is to guarantee the
claims of France against Mexico, though
such course may vet appear expedient and
proper, in which case the Government Of
this country will not hesitate 10 take the re-
sponsibility. The main point sought is TO
enforce the Monroe doctrine by removing
European Intervention in Mexican affairs,
and securing TO that country a stable Repub-
lican form of Government
The responsibility of this undertaking has
been fully discussed by the Cabinet, and the
decision has been unanimously arrived at
that the time has come for the energetic ac-
tion indicated in the proceedings above fore
shadowed these proceedings have now taken
= decided form and shape, and have entered
30 far into the prosecution as 10 be beyond
recall.
The statement, printed to-day in a New
York paper, that Col. CAMPBELL, Minister
by appointment to Mexico, has not received
his instructions; is altogether untrue
These instructions we're prepared on Sat
urday last, but as Col. CAMPBELL did not
arrive in town until Tuesday, they were not
delivered 10 him until to-day. He now
has them, but it is doubtful it. in Justice to
himself, he can depart for Mexico immedi-
ately, as required by the instructions Col.
CAMPBELL has been a very heavy loser by
the recent floods near Cincinnati, and his
own interests demand his presence there at
this time He has this evening asked the
President 10 grant him leave 10 remain here
long enough TO fix up his personal affairs.
Ii is understood that the Presidents reply
is that the urgency Of the case admits of no
delay, and that il Col. CAMPBELJ. cannot
depart at once another Minister must be ap-
pointed in his place. At this writing il is
not settled whether Col CAMPBELL goes or
not, but if he declines going another Min
lister will be appointed tomorrow.
In regard to affairs with England, grow
ing out Of the depredations during the late
war Of the priyateers Aiobaind and Shendn-
doah, Mr.. ADAMS, cur Minister TO the Court
Of st. James, peremptorily demands in
demnity for the losses sustained by our COM
mercial interests. To this Mr.. ADAMS re-
ceiyed on eyasiye reply. He was immedi-
ately instructed to repeat the demand. lie
did 80, but no definite response has yet been
received, but one of the English newspapers
recently received indicate that these re-
newed and persistent demands have not been
without effect
The British Government is now putting
out feelers in their various organs, showing
their disposition in the matter. From these
il appears they are willing TO submit the
claims 10 arbitration, or to a Board Of Ma
tional Commissioners. Our Government
will accept no arrangements Of these sorts,
but will insist on a prompt and full pay
ment of the claims. This is our ultimatum
as contained in the instructions under which
Mr.. ADAMS is nov acting.
