THE MISSION OF GEN. scHorlELD

jecJ Oh the NenefRiSl journey 70 EWlS.- NO enc
will make believe that is to the beauties
Of the French capital. IN banquet held at the
Grand Hotel by numerous citizens Of the United
States, several toasts were drank 10 the mainton
ance of friendly relations between America and
France. MIR. Bigelow, the American envoy, alluded
to the mission of Cen schofed in very guarded
terms the latter is said to have had several inter
views with NJ. Drouyn de rHuys, the French
Minister for Foreign Affairs. Therei it is certain,
negotiations going on for the ultimate evacuation
of Mexico by the French troops. Gen. schofed
has undertaken, on the part of the United States
to guarantee that attack of any kind shall take
place against the new Empire of Maximilian.
The French Minister on his side, promises that the
French troops shall be withdrawn from Mexico
within two years.
The entente o0Ydidle between Mr.. Bigelow and
NJ. Drouyn de rHnys and Gen. 's3chofeld appears
to be perfect. But let us hear what is whispered,
and take a peep at
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MEDAL.
| Whilst SGhoieid is carrying ont the instructions
of his government in Paris, it is said the United
| States consul at Alexandria has handed to the
NiGeroy OF Egypt, protest against sending negro
troops to Mexico. This protest is accompanied it
is said (bHt am not sure that the news is rue) by
a declaration that The United States government
will not allow monarchy to be set up on its from
/
seems to really hang like sword Of Damoeles
| over the French government in case it should not
/ think seriously of cvacuating Mexico. will
dwell no longer this subject, which is not one OF
| universal interest.
You are aware Mr. Editor that Tor fortnight
| after New Years ay, diplomacy may be said to
be at stand still 1t will not be before the open
| ing of the French Chambers that politics will be
of interest. The Imperial opening speech will
perhaps inform US of the Emperors intention re-
specting Mexico.
| Apropos of the Emperor, the report is false
that Leopold l had named Napoleon III his
| executor.
Bismark draws in his horns. as children say of
the snail. lmean that there is not much to be
| said about Prussia, as Bismark finds that Austria
can for the present keep out of his clutches, hav
ing been fortunate enough TO negotiate loan for
five hundred millions.
The Emperor Francis Joseph has something else
tOdO, and has no time to Wrangle about Hchicswig
Holstein with the Prussian premier. Whilst am
writing tle Austrian Emperor is opening the Hun-
garan Diet, and the crisis which TIE Aus
trian monarchy has had to 60 through is nearly at
an end The question Is whether Mr.. Deak, the
most influential Of the Hungarian chiefs, VIII pro-
pose compromise with the crown, or whether
the crown will pursue c?otncatory policy. The
latter il most likely; as il is the reception OF the
Emperor by the people has been excellent, 1t
would be premature to say anything Of the de-
r n6ucmeHt Of tho present imbrogtio.
In Italy, the debates Of the Parliament of Flo
renee begin to take serious turn. Siguor Mari,
a conservative, has been named President. I must
note, however, the important documents laid on
the table by the PrcSid. nj Of the Council, General
LaMarmora and the financial accounts Of Mr..
) Sella. The Roman question and the convention OF
tie 18th September evidently the most inter
csling questions Oh tC carpet. The following or
dcrs have been sent 10 the official agents on tie
Roman frontier
can means are to be oupIoyedto to prevent an at
tack on the Pope, but as 1t is not likely that hdr-
! mony can long reign between Inc PonuLcal sol.
! dtcrs and those of Victor Emanuel, any idea Of
! ir qnii in inst 6G f.
be abandoned. The PouilLicai and Italian aut}l0r.
iLius can however, come 10 an understanding rs
9 regards general measures to be taken against the
briganls.n
y Another document Of no less importance is a
! circular dated the 25th November, loGj, which in
forms us That the sensation produced in Germany
by the establishment OF better relations with Italy
