General ROsecrans for MeXicO-Our ReIa-
tiOns with Mexico.

tiOns with Mexico.
From the NJ Y Herald.
The appointment by the President, and the
prompt confirmation hy the Senate of General
Rosecrans as Minister to Mexico during the
closing hours of the late session OF Congress, will
be something of a pleasant surprise to the
country. patriotic soldier, whose splendid
services to the Union cause in the great work
of suppressiDg our late Southern rebellion
will never be forgotten while the nation lives,
q fine scholar, man of liberal ideas, and a
good Catholic General Rosecrans is the very
man as our Minister to Mexico to make the
most favorable impression on that Govern
ment and people in reference to the wishes and
purposes of the United States in our future
relations with the sister republic. Such an
appointment is of itself the most iattering re-
cogpition of the government of Juarez, and
carries with it the most friendly intimaton
that as far as possible our Government will
assist him in the establishment of law and
order, industry, and prosperity, in accordance
with the Monroe doctrine.
Since the French invasion and the establish
ment of the empire OF Maximilian our rela-
tions with Mexico have been mainly conducted
through Senior Romero, Minister of the repub
lie at Washington. Since the withdrawal of
the French army of occupation and the over
throw of the empire, with the bloody death of
Maximilian, the republic has been awaiting at
the national capital duly accredited Minister
from Washington. Meantime the representa-
tives in Mexico of all the European Govern
ments who had recognized and served under
the empire having been dismissed with the
restoration of the republic, General ROsecrans
will be the first ambassador on the ground
from any of the great powers in the
work of reOpeniDg commercial relations under
the republic. To question on the sub ect in
the British House OF Commons, on Monday
last, Lord Stanley replied that Mexico (the
Tepublic) broke off relations with England in
consequence of highlands recognition of the
empire of Maximilian; that if the republic
should make overtures for their resumption
there would be no difficulty about it; but that
dignity and selt-Tespect would not permit
England to solicit the renewal of official inter
course between the two countries. And so it
is with France, Spain, Belgium, and Austria.
General Rosecrans, therefore, on his arrival at
the Mexican capital will find himself, in refer
ence to the international affairs of Juarez,
master of the situation.
Meanwhile our special correspondent at
Rome has given us curious bit OF news III
relation to Juarez and the Church and Church
party. 1t thus appears that with all his sins
and transgressiOns against the Church and the
Church property of Mexico Juarez has found
grace with the forgiving Holy Father; that his
Holiness, at the request of Juarez, has con-
frmed the nomination of six bishops made by
the latter to sees in Mexico; that the Pope
seized the opportunity for hit at the hereto
Prime Minister of Austria, in announcing these
appointments to the cardinals in cOnsistory
directly after delivering his allocution against
the abolition of the Austrian Concordat, and
that such juxtaposition must deeply wound
the Austrian imperial family and still further
widen the breach between Vienna and Rome
Juarez is said to have written an autograph
letter to the Pope, couched in the most peni
tent style, apologizing for his past acts ant
os, IL.
Mexico. On this tack, however, Juarez will
be apt to fail, as Macmillan failed in bstray
ing the party with which he came into power
1t was the liberal party with Juarez. 1t wa
the Church party with Macmillan.
The European complications suggested o.
the Mexican question from these new relation
between Juarez and the Holy Father we ar
