altered condition of thoNIexican question. un.
dorstand tho reason assigned WITH: day or two,
for tho failure on tho part OF Fra:ce to withdraw
portion of her troops agrccably to previous stip-
uations, is that it could not hive been done with
safety to tho remainder, and would besides, as
stated i'll ono Of my recent letters, have left the
country in state of anarchy. The message cam

WITHDRAWAL OF THE FRENCH TROOPS.
WASHINGTON, November 29.-Although no formal
ofticiai communication has been made to this Gov
ernment, it is asserted by somo peope that tn ere
is little doubt that Information has been verbally
furnished OF Napoleon's intention to romove the
French troops from Mexico at the earliest practi-
cable time tho arrangements for that purpose now
boing in progress. Tho reason why the first de-
tachment, or one-third Of tho troops was not em-
barked i'll November according to the Emperor's
own programme e, that tho other two-thirds
might have been seriously damaged by the Liberals
who were presistentiy pressing them. To obvate
such result it was deemed more prudent as
military necessity to remove them all ct once.

Much speculation has been indulged in as to the
actual business Of Lieut-Gen. Sherman in accom-
panying Minister Campbell to Mexico The truth, |
however, is, no was designated as ON advisor to
that gentleman, both regards diplomatic affairs
in Mexico and military movements on tho frontier
should on emergency arise to require new dispo. !
sition OF our troops. But since tho reception Of
the Emperor's Intentions with regard to the re-
moVal OF his army, 1t is not thought that such |
necessity will occur. The last news received by
tho Government respecting Macmillan is, that he
was at Orizaba, the French officials refusing to per-
mt him to leave Mexico unless he formally re-
signed his crown.
Later nows than the above shows that Maximil-
ian has abdicated and left Vera Cruz.
