THE EMPRESS CARL0TTA.
Her Majesty I1erorted Insane.

lFIoIn Avenir National. Of pssl*, October ~
Two days ago NC had received very sad news
Of the mental state of the Empress uf Mexico,
tut-although tho source from which We rc-
ceiyed it WAS trustworthy, NC were unwilling
10 credit It. At first her state of mind WIS
attributed to simply nervous excitement,
caused by anxiety and disappointment,
but aeCcsecs more and more frequently leave
no hope Of cure. The Count de Flandrc has
been summoned to Rome, where he is now
witnessing this lugubrious and dsamnttc
episode OF an enterprise which has produced
nothing but disasters.
1Er. III The Paris PatTfe. October s.
Some ridiculous rumors respecting Mexico
have been in circulation Tor some days.
They are got up in emulation Of those set
aloat By committees Of New York We eau
! affirm that these reports. in which the au-
name Of youthful female sovereign, now
| fur the moment in Europe. and whose name
| ought to have been respected the more that
| less confidence is felt in the future prosper
| ity Of the Mexican throne, are completely
| false. Another rumor, to tho effect that
| young French officer had been hanged by
1 order OF Juarcx, is equally unEounded.
This last statement refers to young ". dc
| M.r;bolon, son Of the Marquis Of that
name, who is at present French diplomatic

I mentioned yesterday, the statement Of
| the -srrnir National TINT the Empress Of Mex
ico's mind had become affected from the dis
appointment which she had met within Eu-
rope in her various applications for assist
auce. also gave the denial Of the Tatyit.
! 1t is with regret that at present am Obliged
TO declare that the preponderancc Of EVIL

first named Journal.
A letter from Rome Of the I'd, in the Sll.t
Puolic Of L. ons, saws: The Empress Of Mex
leo is the subject Of much conversation hnrc.
Yesterday morning at nine, without having
requested audience, she presented herself at
The Vatican to. see the Holy. Father, She
Sue presented q petition to the Pope praying
, his Holiness to sanction everything that her
husband had done Al Emperor with respect
to religious matters. The story goes that
the Pope positively refused, and that the
Empress then declared that she would not
leave the Vatican If her request were moi
granted. 1canuot guarantee the authority O
all this, but 1t Is certain the Empress die
! rot quit the Vatican until six in the evening
Shc retired to the private study of the Pope
and his Holiness continued bis ordinary M
L!euces. He aftctward dtusd alone, accol d

Professor vialt, the. Pope's medical atteu1
