FRANACE AND MEXICO.

The remarks Of the Emperor Louis Ma.
polcon on Mexico are naturally the SUBJ
ject Of general comment in Europe and
America. In the English translation of
the speech, which Was published in the
morning p pers, the last portion OF this
passage of the Imperial speech was, in
consequence of blunder in the trausla-
ton wholly unintclligiblc. According
to the Woniteur (of Jan. 22), the Fmpe.
ror spoke as follows.
In English translation.
Il am comming to an understanding
with the Emperor Macmillan to fix the
epoch for the recall of our troops, IN order
that (not as the original translation had
it, betore) their ruturn may be effected
without compromising the French inter
ests which we have been defending in
that remote country"
The English papers of all parties agree
in reading between the lines of the speech
that the Emperor fully admits the utter
failure Of his Mexican enterprise. "His
Mexican experiment" says The Daily
Neacs,
HAS failed, and nothing can now re.
deem it. The Empire which was to have
been the glory of his reign has become
the synonym first insolvency. and then
OF barbarism. The difficulty of coming
away from Mexico is great, but that Of
remaining there is greater"

anything but friendly to the United
States. remarks;
Louis Napoleon pleads for favorable
obstruction of the dilemma he is placed
in with admirable diplomatic ingenuity.
