Since the special Cabinet meeting on IhursIay
there has been the creates, interest to know its pur-
pose. We are enabled TO state positively that the
Cabinet was called together to consider the declsra-
alton Of France that she cannot withdraw from Mex
leo before next Spring, when ie is promised 10 With
draw entirely. This Is in violation Of the agreement
between Seward and Drouyu De Lhuys and as the
notification Of II comes st this late day, cur Govern
mert Is M disposed to Pot full couhienee in any
further promise Of Napoleon This subject was fur
Their considered in Cabinet meeting on Friday, Gen.

iieut' Ii is believed Minister Dix Il Instructed 10
troops.

a draft Of his dispatch 10 Minister Bigelow, commeu-
ting on Napoleon'S breach Of agreement TO withdraw
the French from Mexico during this month. After
IL was read, the Cabinet unanimously voted that Il
be made stronger. insisting that the French troops
be withdrawn according 20 programme agreed on IN
June last. The cable news to-day, shows that this
dispatch had its effect. The French Minister received
a dispatch to-day, by the cable. from Moustler, the
French Minister OF State, announcing that fourteen
vessels would sail from Brest for Vera Cruz, where
the French troops in Mexico were required TO render
vous for their embarkation to France. Twelve addi.
tional vessels will leave by the middle of December
By the 10Th of January all of the French troops will
probably be out of Mexico. This solves authoritively
and snaly the French-Mexican muddle.

Vera Cruz, Cordoya, FUSED as an outpost, which
they are fortifying,) Orizaba. and the pass OF Bel

offered to raise six millions if Maximiiian would
remain. An American protectorate was regarded by
the people as the only solution OF the present
troubles. On Tuesday. November 9th, the Liberal
army marched on Jalspa, which was strongly iorti-
fed and garrisoned by Imperialists. Cannouading
continued for several days at intervals. Large num-
bers of Imperial troops deserted to the Liberal army.
The Imperial troops were driven TO the Cathedral

The Uorfd's New Orleans special dispatch says
4 dispatch has Just been received from Flakes Bull
letin. at Galveston, announcing that the Union Gen
era!, Sedge wick, crossed the Rio Graude, November
ODD, with a brigade of the United States troops and
occupied Matamoras, assuming that he did so TO pro-
tect the interests of the American residents in that
town. The movement created great excitement. 1t
is understood that this movement has been made with
out any knowledge on the part Of the President.
CANADA AND TIE FENIANs.-The Canadians pro-
Tess 10 believe that the British Government has re-
fused to pay the alabama claims, and that Canada
will have TO look out for trouble with the United
States. 1t is further believed that France has ex-
pressed q willingness to assist In the defence Of the
Canadian Provinces, provided the British Navy will
Co operate with her in the Gulf Of Mexico.
The Uorld's Queenstown correspondent, writing
November 18th, says - send you al inkling OF
the most important news which has come from Ire
land for many a long day. The blow is about to be
struck at the power Of Great Britain. Within n
month you will hear of the rising Of the Irish people
from one end Of this unfortunate island TO the other.
The train has long been laid; the arms are here, the
men are ready, the officers appointed and the organ
ization perfected. The movement on Canada was
really a feint, for all the while the object was steadily
kept in MUD, to create an outbreak upon the old sol
of Ireland. Will not this unreasonable outbreak
again attract the attention of the whole World to the
chronic rnisgovernment Of Ireland by the English
peoples We now suffer and starve and are compell-
ed to leave our native land. A few of US may be
killed, but we can be no worse OF after the battle is
over and Fenianism is once more crushed. England
will net do anything for us by peaceabie agitation
that has been tried, and every effort we have made tC
induce the Government OF Great Britain TO be Just &c
us has utterly failed. We are powerless; our argu-
ments are unheeded, our prayers are unanswered;
for our sufferings there is no pity. Is il not better
for US to try to show the English Government that il
does not pay-that if they will not do US justice We
will make Ireland a clinging curse to her :"

NEW ORLEANS, December 1st.-A disposition is
manifested in the South to admit unqualified suf-

it is gaining ground. ns an equivalent of the univer-

lature looking to the establishment of Common
Schools for whites and blacks throughout the State.

from the North is encouraged, and much capital has
already flowed in from that section.
