The New York Times adds chapter to the

from Mexico, which is generally believed to

Mr.. Stewards demand to tho French Minister
in December, 1865. Tie supplementary chap
ter designed to show tina. the Emperor was
not frightened into recalling bis troops but
had already decided upon that course from
high motives of his Own, is given upon the
authority OF General Webb, now Minister to
Brazil. 1t appears from this statement that
General Webb himself was the peacemaker,
having secured from the Emperor promise
to withdraw, if he should not be threatened, as
early as May, 1868. In November, 1865, he
breakfasted az lin with the Emperor at st.
Cloud, where the arrangement Was made by
which the French troops were to be called
home in twelve, eighteen and twenty.four
months. The arrangement was not to be dis
closed TO our minister in France nor to Mr..
Seward; but Mr.. Webb was to convey the in
telligence to the President in person. After
the arrangement had become known at the
State Department, it is now alleged, the letter
was written which appears on the record as
the primary cause Of the course OF events
during the next year. General Webb IS OF the
opinion that his friend, The Emperor, has
been scandalousy treated in the matter, and
ayails himself OF the first opportunity alter
Mr.. Stewards retirement to set him right with
tba world
