The French Policy with Reference to
fS Mexico. 81
New York, Oct 5,-AParis letter Of the
18th ult. says: In consequence Of some
important news received from Mexico on
the l5thOf the present month, the Emperor
of France, who had already dispatched
Gen. Destitrau, his aid de- camp, to Maxi
milan, senthim an order by telegraph to
come back to st. Cloud, where his instruct
ions were to be revised and modified.
Marshal Random, the Minister Of War, was
present at this interview, which / am
assured eYas of the most important
character, according to version gen
orally Zaccepted, based, i understand.
not merely upon the critical condition of
affairs in Mexico, but also upon the firm
ness of attitude recently assumed by the
| cabinet of Washington, the intention OF
| the French Government is to bring about
a speedy settlement of the Mexicar' aues-
tion, SO as to get rid as soon as possible OF
| a perpetual- subject of solicitudc and an
nOyance. TO this effect the fleet Of trans
| ports collected at Brest and Cherbourg, tor
the purpose, of embarking and bringing
| back to- France the first instalment OF
troops, is TO be largely increas, d, so as tC
be capable of carrying the whole
of the French contingent and tc
evacuate Mexico all at once. All that will
remain of the French army there will he @
small garrison in each of the harbors where
the Custom House duties, conceded &c
France by Maxlmilian. are to be collected
Such are, am assured, the measures JUS
adopted in Cabinet council in reference t.
Mexico. | must say, however, that thC
Paris Ratrie is Ot-quite of that opinion
and'asserts, on the contrary, that Genera
Destitrau's mission has not for its object tC
put immediately an end to the interven.
tion'of France in Mexico. ','a 80 "a
