Enclosure No. From the Memorial Diplo-
mauque, May 10 According 70 an american n9 can
United States at Paris recently suggested to the
Cabinet of the TuilleTes that, for the purpose OF
arrestlng the military reprisals in mexico, the
Juarez Government should be informed OF the
limit within which the FRENCH army OF 3cGnpa-
delivered this overture for the reason that the
French government had no means of communca-
tion with Jusrez. Al length MIR. Bigelow offered
for this purpose to the Cabinet of the Tuilleries
the coed offices of his government near which is
accredited the Juarst agent M Romero.
1t appears from our information that what there
may be of truth IN the story relates to the steps
formerly taken by the Federal Cabinet to induce
France to demand from the Mexican government
the repeal of certain DEGREES concerning the ua-
rist brigandage. These steps, and the reception
which thew met with from the Minister of Foreign
Affairs of France all this is found at length in the
Owl Jauane of 1866, and we believe that no later
incidents could have changed in this regard She
rule of the Imperial government.
Enclosure No. 2-From the Memorial Diploma
tidue, May 13l According to the information
which reaches us from Vienna, the Imperial 60
vernment has had no difficulty in convincing me
that Austria has no intention to send troops to
To there
teers in question cannot be considered as Austrian
soldiers, as IT. is Of their own accord that, after
own country, they enlist in the service of the En-
peror Macmillan TO form an integral portion of
seems to have been settled in satisfactory manner
is that the embarkation of one thousand Austrian
volunteers was TO take place on the 10th of May,
instant, at Trieste, where since the 7th the Tam
pco has been lying at anchor, vessel OF the Trans
atlantic Company, on board of which they were to
be transported to Vera Cruz.
Enclosure No. 3-From the Journal des Debats,
the dispatcheS OF Mr. Seward to the Minister of the
United States at Vienna, in which the American
Secretary OF State protests against the sending of
Austrian volunteers to Mexico, in terms whose
earnestness every one can appreciate. The Con-
stitutonnel thinks it can announce this morning
that all difficulties are removed in the matter, and
that the explanations given by the Vienna Cabinet
have fully satisfied the Minister OF the United
volunteers was to embark on the 10Th OF Mav NJ
Trieste for Mexico. To tell the truth, the
tutionnel knows nothing of these facts of ITSELF
but gets them from the Memorial Diplomatique in
which, for our part, we are far from having abso-
lutte confidence.
It may be, after all, that Austria has not thought
proper to pay attention to the protest from Wash
ington, although she has at this moment affairs
enough on hand not to seek for new ones. We
shall soon know if it is true that one corps of vol
unteers set out three days ago for vera Oruz, on
board the Tampico but even If this fact were
act, it woud not be enough to prove that an under
standing in regard to this question Of volunteers
exists at present between Austria and the United
States. The very categoric language OF MI Seward
permits to doubt this. We shall watt therefore,
until the text of the arran gements concluded be-
tween the two governments is made known to us,
before we believe it, by the ConstatiOnnepS leave,
which endorses statements of which it has
proof except the assertions of the Memorial Dipo.

LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATEs.-PARIs,
May 81, 1s66-Sir: have your dispatch No. 40,
its contents to- day with the Minister of Foreign
Affairs. His excellency, however, had received
summons to the palace, which compelled him to
terminate his reception of the diplomatic corps
abruptly. He remarked, with smile, as en-
tered, that he knew what came for; that had
marsh message to him. Am not rightl he asked.
told him that l had been instructed, as he was
aware. 1t seemed to acquaint him with the dis
quiet which certain reports in regard to the trans
port of fresh troops from different quarters of the
world TO Mexico had occasioned in the United
States, and expressed my fear that these reports,
unless met promptly by some satisfactory assur-
ances, might develop discussion upon another
theatre Imperfectly informed of the actual situa-
ton and of the dispositions OF the Imperial GO
vernment, thereby aggravating the difficulties
with which both governments already had to con-
tend. then said that as he was called elsewhere
/ would wait upon him at any other more conye-
nient hour that he would name.
He proposed that should call again on Satur
day. at 1N p. M. Meantime he wished me to be
assured as he had assured me on several previous
OCCASIONS that the troops reported TO have sailed
for Vera Cruz were to replace others whose terms
of service had expired and in numbers less rather
than more than were there before. He believed,
also that the orders for their shipment were given
before the proposed recall of the army was an
nounced. Upon all these points he expected to
have more precise intor nation from the Minister
of War TO give me on Saturday. As was going
said, that they were but too anxious to withdraw
their troops from Mexico That they would be
Withdrawn ainly not later but probably
sooner, than the Ii me proposed 1 then took my
leave, without aluding the other subjects about
which was specially instructed to confer with
him.

LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES, PARIS, Aug.
10, le66.-Sir; There have recently appeared para
graphs IN tne journals OF Paris, announcing the
of the Archduke Macmillan. These naturaIIy
created some degree of discussion, and comment
Mexico. To check this Injurious line of remark,
the Memorial DiplOmGique, the organ of the So
called Mexican empire in Paris, in its last issue
published the following formal announcement:
'EWe are authorized to contradict, in the most
formal manner, the rumor that the Empress OF
Mexico Is on her way to Europe. The same re-
port was circulated at the time of her Majesty IS
departure for Yucatan, and IL is known that the
Emperor Maximilian, on a solemn occasion, de-
nounced as an infamous calumny the mere suppo-
sllon that either ne or his august spouse could
ever be false TO their duty"
The Pays q journal in the same Interest, pub
lished on the following day this additional denial
OF the same rumor:-"A journal, tormented with
the desire of producing sensation news has men :
