MEXICO.

Ihe convention ‘respecting the expedition to Mexico stipulates that the three Bowers wiilfnqtr seek shy -.tei'ritorial or special advantages for themselves, nor use their influence in a way to interfere .with the right of the people of Mexico to choose their own form of government. It contains also an article proposed by the British Government, providing for an invitation to the United States to accede to the convention, on behalf of their own subjects. It does not fix the number of ships or troops to be employed, still less does it stipulate for a march to Mexico to dictate the form of Government to be there established.

‘ La Patrie ’-publishes the following,— “ The three.'. Powers have the light to send the same 'naval strength. The imnumber of . the troops landed is to be in proportion tp- number of subjects which each ot tlib/Powei's owns in Alexico, and in this., respect Spain claims precedence. Theytroops will occupy Vera Qyuz and the other cities on the coast where custom-houses are established. If, after a given delay, the Government of General Juarez has fctot paid up the money it owes, an advance, will be made on the capital, and should such a step lead to complications or unforeseen events, an agreement will be come to in common on the line of conduct to be followed in presence of those eventualities. The convention will be notified to the Cabinet.at Washington, which will be invited to join the intervening Powers. It will be left optional to the Government of President Lincoln to send such number of ships and troops as he may deem advisable.” . - The English, French, and Spanish squadrons will assemble at Ilavannah.
