the Cable, dated London, Sept. Both, says:
In consequence of a difficulty which has
existed for some time past between the U. S.
Consul In the Island of Cyprus and the
Turkish authorities, the United States
Minister In Constantinople, Mr.. i. Joy
Morris, has demanded full satisfaction
from the Sultan and his Cabinet
Pending the negotiations, which assume
Q rather serious aspect, Mr.. Morris COM
municated with Admiral GOldsborough,
and the U. S. war ships Ticonderoga and
Charles Steedman, which have been lying
on the port OF Venice, were dispatched
thence for Cyprus. The difficulty referred
TO above originated In the Turkish au-
Consul and taking therefrom an alleged
conscript.
santa Annals Efforts in Behalf OF
Mexico.
The Herald says: General Santa Anna,
at his headquarters, on Staten Island, is
lntirlng In his efforts for the cause of
Mexicen independence. He has received
dispatches from the chiefs In that country
to be prompt and assist them, and his pres
ence there is desired in communications
from quarter unlocked for. An expedi-
ton has already started, consisting of
about 1000 men, who, ere the Imperial au-
thorities will receive the news OF their de-
parture, will have landed on the Coast.
About one hundred and sixteen commits
sions have been issued to Americans who
have smelt powder. An envoy from the
Court OF France arrived recently In this
city, and has had several interviews with
the General, but the recent action of the
veteran shows that the French diplomats
DID not influence him much

Convention Between the French and
80 Mexican Governments.
NEW YORK, Oct. Ia Paris letter OF
Sept. 10 says The convention passed be-
tween the French and Mexican Govern
ments conceding to the former half of the
custom house revenues of the ports located
on the Atlantic, aud one-fourth of those of
the harbors on the Pacific, has been looked
Mexican debt, and has caused sudden rise
In Mexican bonds. The holders of these
bonds, encouraged by the guarantee Just
obtained, maintain that France Is by that
convention entitled 10 require at all times
from MaXimllian or his successors, the pay
mtnt OF nll amounts hitherto disbursed for
Mexico, including the loans which these
bonds represent. The publication OF that
convention In the MOniteur, happening
concurrently with the appointment of
General Drcastiuan, the Aid-de-camp
of the Emperor, and NJ. d. CALI
pet, an administrator of great
ability, has naturally been construed as the
forerunner OF the entire Abandonment of
all direct Intervention by France in Mcxi-
can affairs. Thus, whilst on one hand the
aforesaid convention settles all her finan-
cial claims, the removal of General Bazine,
OF which you will hear ere long, and the
appointment in his stead of Gen. Decastil-
nau, settles the military part of the question.
The General goes to Mexico with no other
mission than to arrange for the withdrawal
Of the French troops, and perhaps to give
the benefit of his experience to the officers
engaged in organizing the Mexican army.
This is all. His task will necessarily be a
short one. and does not imply on the part
of the French Government the idea of
giving any assistance to the Mexican En-
pire, which in London and Paris is looked
upon as irretrievably lost. AS to the Mar
quis of Galliper, his presence in Mexico re-
fers solely to the organization of the Gus
tom house system and to the appointment
of custom house officers, who are to be
selected from among civil officers of French
birth. "Eh

In short, the country Is in more unsettled
