MEXICO.

The reign of MAMMALIAN in Mexico seems
to be rapidly drawing to close There
are reports of fresh victories by the liberal
army over the Imperial forces, and from
Europe it is stated that the expectation is
stron that MACMILLAN will retarn to Europe
in the war steamer sent out by the Emper-
or of Austria Twenty French war steam
ers, it is also said, will sail for Mexico
some time in November, for the purpose of
conveying home the French troops.
Gen. SHERIDAN, in command of the south
west, has recently written letter to Gen.
Sedgwick, who commands the United States
forces on the Rio Grande, which indicates
that our Government intends to aid the au-
thorities of Mexico in restoring order and
preserving peace in that country He adj
vises him, as the only way of improving
the condition of affairs, that we are to
give our heartiest support to the only
Government in Mexico which is recognized
by our own that of JUAREz-and he in
structs him to notify all adherents of any
party, or pretended government, in Mexico,
that they will not be permitted to violate
the neutrality laws between the Liberal
Government of Mexico and our own," to re-
main on our soil and prepare for such vio-
lations.
The New York Times of Tuesday last,
paper which is likely to be well informed
in regard to what is going on at the State
Department, at Washington, says: "Our
Washington correspondent informs us that
Minister Campbell has received his in
structions, and will forthwith proceed to
his post as our representative in Mexico
1t is now agreed that the French troops
will soon be withdrawn, MAMMALIAN, of
course, going with them that the United
States recognize the JUAREz Government,
and undertake to support it, if such con-
tlngency shall become necessary that, in
consideration thereof, Mexico will cede to
the United States large portion of the
territory of Chihuahua, and nearly the
whole of Sonora, and all of Lower Califor-
MIA. The line is not fixed, further than that
it is to run from the Rio Grande, some
where near FL Paso, directly to the Gulf of
| Cal ifornia, so as to include on our side the
important port of Guaymas. By this ces-
sion we gain new and practicable routes
to the Pacific, secure the entire control of
the Gulf of California and extend our d.
rect sea-coast line ON the Pacific from San
Diego to Cape st. Lucas, about a thousand
miles. The details of this highly import
ant arrangement will be looked for with
great interest"
The London Times publishes significant
article on the subject of the approaching
dissolution of MAxImLIAN's empire, the com
ing retirement of the French troops from
Mexico and the firm assertion of the Mon
roe doctrine as permanent feature of the
foreign policy of the United States Gov
ernment. The writer acknowledges, in the
most complete manner, that the expedition
to Mexico was undertaken at a moment
when it was firmly believed abroad that
that the Union was permanently broken by
the late rebellion, that the condition of af-
fairs has been materially changed since, by
the assertion of its permanency and the
vigorous foreign policy" of the Washing.
ton Cabinet, and that the Emperor NAPo
LEON is the man who should be " condoled
with on account of the final upshot of this
sorry Mexican businessn
