pany our Minister.

WASHINGTON, October 30.-Col. Camp
bell, United States Minister to Mexico,
has left the city with credentials to the
Juarez Government, and with full in
structions conforming with the tripartite
arrangement already announced between
the Emitted States, France, and the re-
public of Mexico Napoleon is to com
mence the withdrawal of the French
army from Mexico next month, and it is
probable the whole army will be with
drawn by the LIST of January next OF
course Macmillan leaves also. Our
Government will extend to the Juarez
Government protectorate, to be ope-
rated and ready in case of emergency.
In order to accomplish this, military
officer Of high rank will go with Colonel
Campbell, and both Generals Sherman
and Hancock are spoken of in this con-
nection. In consideration of these
friendly Offices, Mexican territory will be
ceded to the United States, which will

New YORK, Oct 30.-The following
is the Times dispatch referring to the
reported treaty between the United
States and the Mexican Liberal Gov
eminent
Col. Lewis d. Campbell, the United
States minister to Mexico has left this
city with credentials addressed to the
Juarez Government, and with full in
structions conforming in every respect
with the arrangement previously com.
municated TO you between the United
States, France, and the Republic Of
Mexico
Under the arrangement now perfected
Napoleon is about to commence the
withdrawal Of the French army from
Mexico next month and although he
has year from that time to complete
the evacuation of Mexico, it is moro than
probable that the whole army will be
withdrawn by or before the first of Jan
uary next
With the withdrawal of the French
army, Macmillan takes his departure,
and the farce of an empire on the North
American continent is ended
The administration undertakes to ex-
tend to the Juarez Government in Mex
leo a protectorate, which is TO be opera
tive, however. only in case Of an emer-
gency In plain terms, our army on the
Rio Grande and our feet in the gulf are
to be held in readiness to assist Juarez,
should such assistance become necessary
to him in establishing his authority as
president of the republic, and in bring
ing TO work in full vigor the machinery
of republican government
The administration has determined to
send with Minister Campbell military
general Of high rank, eminent abilities,
and sound judgment, clothed with power
TO act in the emergency referred to-
Gen. W. T. Sherman is now spoken of
in this connection, aud also Gen. Han
cock. The responsible mission, it is
strongly indicated, has been rendered tn
General Sherman, and there is reason to
believe that he will accept it but should
he decline, General Hancock will I'M
doubtedly be sent
1t is no part of the plan to more any
United States force into Mexico until an
occasion shall arise 10 render such a
resort necessary, but tits hoped that the
attitude avowed by the United States
publicly in sending an officer to Mexico
clothed with this power will be sufficient
TO overawe the various political leagues
Of that country, numerous rival factions
that beset the land, and lead to unani-
nous submission to, and support OF, the
only government that has any preten-
sions TO regularity and constitutionality,
or ability to establish and maintain itself.
