THE FRENCH IN MEXICO.

JJThe Parisian journals publish the following •*3fter from the Emperor to General Lorencez : fe-" My dear General, — I learnt with pleasure fte brilliant affair of the Cunibres, and witli Mortification the check experienced in the Stack against Puebla. It is the fa c of war n see reverses at times obscure the splendour ■ success; but that is not a reason for being Bscouraged. The honour of the country is Imaged; andyou will be supported by all the [sources you could look for, and of which |v may stand in need. Be to the troops jlderyour orders the interpreter of my entire :isfaction at their courage and perseverance supporting fatigue and privations How?r distant they may be, my solicitude is rays with them. I approve of your conduct hough it does not appear to have been well derstood by every one. You did right to itect General Almonte, since he is at war h the present Government of Mexico. All 6se who seek a shelter under your flag ie the same right to your protection. But that must not in any way influence your iduct for the future. It is contrary to my (rest, my origin and my principles to ime any kind of Government whatever on Mexican people ; they may freely choose t which suits them best. All I demand b them is sincerity in their relations with |i!;n nations; and I only desire one thing — prosperity and independence of that fine mtry under a stable and regular GovernRt. I renew to you the assurance of my Biments. " Napoleon" 1 letter from Vera Cruz, of the 18th Sep|ber, published in the Constitution-net, says: jgLetters have been received from the city jjlexicoto the 13th, and for the first time leveral weeks Aye hear something of what ling on in the capital. The greatest conB)n prevails in the Government since the j irture of Doblxdo, who has retired into ; liitive State, taking with him 1,000 men, ole convoy of waggons, and a great p..rt lie archives of his Ministry. No one tly knows what his projects are, but the ctation is that he will soon be seen at the of a party favorable to the intervention, death of General Zaragoza is an irrepai loss for the Juarist party. He was the soul of the army, and had acquired an ority very rare in this unfortunate (try. Uraga, Ortega^ and Comonfoit are aring to dispute the vacant post, but ler of them is capable of filling it propi Articles have been published in the ititn journals by ordor of Juarez, in a the French are represented as carrying completely savage warfare, pillaging and ing all that falls in their way. These lous calumnies have caused great irritalinong the troops at Orizaba. OurcomKitions with that place are very difficult, n account of the enemy, but from the ate of the roads in consequence of the rains."
