Maury to Benjamin Wood says that Soall is conneoted with the Gwinn enterprise. Napoleon will give him all the aid he desires. He will go out as director-general, in charge of a very peculiar kind of colonisation, in July. Mr. Seward enclosed the intercepted correspondence to Mr. Bigelow, and requested him to present it to. M. Drouyn de LhuyS, and inform him that any favour shownby Maximilian or the French Government to the Gwinn or other Confederate colonization will tend to increase in America the popular impatience at French intervention; because it will be regarded as imparting dangers to, or at least as a menace, against the United States. If these statements are to be believed, Seward assumes, with the sanction of the President, that Napoleon had deserted his position of neutrality. On December 14th last Mr, Seward wrote to Bigelow. saying, " Your despatch of Nov. 24th seems to discourage on our part expectations of the early withdrawal of the French troops from Mexico. It Must be remembered, however, that the opinions on that subject which you received from M. Drouyn de Lhuys were expressed not only without the Emperor's sanction, but also in the absence of 'knowledge on the part of the French government of the definate cmclusion of the President °a the subjects discussed. It is desirable to leave no part of these conclusions open to misapprehension, and it i equally desirable that we shall be authorised to infer that such expositions of Imperial views are made with the Emperor's approval."
