LORD BYRON.

The following poetical tribute was offered
to the genius of Lord Byron, at the last
meeting of the Hancock Literary Associa-
ton, by our native authorizes, Mrs. M. s.
Whitaker:
hear voice. mpassioned and sublime,
Mourn with drear pathos, DER the wrecks of time;
While striking with ordiy hand the Tyre,
Immortal Byron breathes his song Of fire.
He weeps, imperial Rome thy fallen might
Tells thy proud glories DER, now set in night,
And waiting through that wild and soaring strain,
Red war he paints on wateroo's grim plain;
Caetalia's fount, muse haunted now no more,
And the lost splendors Of fair Bellas' shore;
Sott Apdalusias vine clad hills and fanes
The castled Rhine. the Switzer's bleak domains;
The eastern garden, with it's deep-dyed rose;
Moonlighted Venice her sad prison woes
His mighty genius gives at once to view
Clothed with it's own dark grandeur, bold and true
In that deep lore, the knowledge Of the heart,
How killed let his soul stirring song impart.
Nature he loved and drew, from starry night
Visions inspired of more than mortal light
The giant mountain and the leafy grove,
The EN-. raid earth, the soft blue heaven above,
Old oceans laundering roar and wayeless sleep.
The usnmer breeze. the north winds ruder sweep
Keen lightning's vivid fash and twilight dim
His varied themes-are nobly sung by him.
Upon his pale poetic brow was wrought
A power enstamped by majesty of thought;
Disdainful of all Misunderstanding schools
SpurniDg cold critics. needless of their rules
Mounting aloft to regions his alone,
He sits supreme upon his minstrel throne!

The Emperor Napoleon and Mexico.

The GegenUart, a Berlin paper, recently
published the report addressed to Napoleon
Ill. by General Castelnau, while on a
mission in Mexico in 1866 The following
is a translation of the Emperor's reply
PALACE OF COMPEIGNE Decem Der 2. 1866.
MY DEAR GENERAL-I have just received
your interesting report of the twenty eighth
OF October. l thank you for the details
which you give me, and l think you have
judged things rightly. But l will not treat
with JuareZ, at any price, for any under
standing with him would look too much
like a defeat. care nothing if at a future
day the force of events should restore him
to power; but just now We can not treat
with him. The course to be followed may,
l think, be TINS summed up:
|. Associate yourself, as you say, with
Marshal Bazaine and M. Dano. in order to
obtain as quickly as possible the abdication
of the Emperor Macmillan.
:. Fix the choice OF the Marshal and M.
Dano upon NJ LerdO de Tejado. or any body
else, to be placed at the head of the provi-
sional government; treat with him; demand
desirable guarantees.
8: Make all necessary arrangements to
embark the troops at the end OF February,
or the commencement of March.
The foreign legion should be embarked;
all Frenchmen who would like to follow,
and even the Austrians and Belglans who
do not wish to remain.
The United States government has sent
General Sherman to Mexico. You will be
able to come to an understanding with him
by making him understand that your dig
nifty prevents you now from treating with
Juarez.
have said tNs. 81 that it will be necessa-
ry to be contented with a provisional gov
eminent, because believe that You will
not have time to establish a regular gov
eminent, for this latter combination would
certainly be better, provided Juarez were
excluded
If the Emperor Macmillan handed over
his powers to Jnarez, that delegation should
not be recognized, and still appeal to the
will of the Mexican people, legally con-
suited.
To sum up, see by your letter that you
have quite understood what were my inten-
tons, which are to leave Mexico as soon as
possible, while protecting our dignity and
French interests as much as possible.

That it is manifest from inspection D
this statement that on the fifteenth Old
cember, 1870, when the amendment Of ~
constitution limiting the debt to $25, OO0W
was promulgated the obligations of Tho
State; including the then existing conttn-s
gent liabilities. amounted 10 upward OF
$42, 100000, and, consequently, that the
liabilities attempted to be created by acts
passed since that date, amounting to 49,
0S7. 500, are null and void alb iuitiu.
That the other contingent liabilities"
amounting to STA, O03, 600, which were Gre
ated prior to the amendment, have all or
nearly all lapsed or become forfeitable by
neglect, and may be declared null and void;
and thus the prospective burden OF Sl3, w.

cial discredit of the State, be prevented.
The payment by the Citizens Bank, and
by the Consolidated Association, of the
bonds loaned to them respectively. and
which are still outstanding, amounting to
ST. 82s, $50, as reported by them. are secured
under the law.
The bonds, amounting to So, 500, 900, is
sued in payment of the subscription to the
stock of the New Orleans, Mobile and
Texas Railroad Company, under the act
approved April -, 1871, in violation of the
constitutional limitation, may be regarded
as null and void.
The free school fund, although a debt of
the State under the act of Congress do
mating the land which created the fund, is
rot an additional burden. because the pay
ment of the principal can never be REQ Tired,
and the interest is to be expended Ill the
education of the children of the State; and
the amount, at least, of that interest, would
have to be raised by taxation, and expended
for that purpose. if the fund did not exist.
The seminary fund may be regarded III the
same light.
The amount of $479,9l IA, put down az a
debt due to the United States, was Louis

among the several States many. years ago,
