A correspondent Of NJ, L0sdJH Tunes OF Jan. -
writes ~ follows.
There has lately been much conversation and con
lecture ~ Paris concerning circular addressed hy
the Mexican Government to it, diplomatic agents IN
Europe II ha, been asserted that the document IN
question is violent and unjust to the Emperor Napo-
leon. whose good will and friendly intentions toward
Mayimilian and Mexico in the iirst instance do not
admit of doubt, although circumstances hyOnd his
control have compelled him prcmatrcly TO with
draw his support from the new empire. Whatever
may be the substantial tenor Oi the circular, there
are no grounds for the assertion that II Is couched
in other than the most moderate and forbcaring
Language. Ii cannot be- considered surprising If, at
the present crisis in hi fOruucs. the Emperor Maxi
milan deems il due to himself TO put forth state
mcut Of facts and n II not hs fault If those facts tell
unlayoranly for his late ally lie can hardly cXprct
that any Government will be induced IA put lance IN

alliance was guaranteed 10 him by solemn treaty.
Still when upon the throne, he anNiOusly desired To
provide for future security and independence by the
formation of IA national army, but unfortunately he
found many Impcdimcnis 10 the prosecution GI thiS
design. Meanwhile, the resources hc had Deeli

of foreigners, which presence III various ways hid
the effect of ndsposng the MeXicans 10 the
Government they supported, and of preventing me
extinction Of the Jurist faction. Before IT had
been possible TO overcome the obstacles that Pr
sented Themselves 10 the formation of n sufficiently
Mexican army, il was announced thai the
French proposed retiring before the stipulated tlme
and the concentration OF their forces soon atteiWaLu
commenced leaving large districts abandoned To the
inroads of the disalfoctcd. This naturally bad tho
