Thenews, per steamer Australasian, of American demands upon France in relation to Mexico excited mucb attention and severely depressed Mexican securities im London. The news was quickly followed by N: jeor's speech to the Legisiauf, which he opened on the 22d. The official report of the state of the Empire asserts that the French sol- diers are not in Mexico with the object of inter- yention, but went there to obtain redress. The London Fimes the solution must come from the United States. It is beleyed the American Government will be eager to accept the pacific solution officially affirmed. Gen Prim and his followers entered the Portuguese territory. The Paris correspondent of the Times gaye& minute account of Sailiard’s in- terview with Napoleon, and his hurried de- parture for Mexico. His instructions were verbal, only to re nt to Maximilian thatthe time had arrived tor the withdrawal of the French troops. A Madrid despatch of January 22d says itis officially confirmed that General Prim bad entered Portugal, and,in conse- quence of a disturbance a Valencia, that proy- idence has been proclaimed in a state of seige. Madrid remains tranquil. The reported death of Gibson, the sculptor, is unfounded. It is reported that France has tendered its medita- tion between the Pope and Russia. The steamer Mexico, from Havana, with City of Mexico dates to January Sth, has ar- rived. Atsemi-official journal announces that, through the disinterested intervention of Na- poleon, the misunderstanding between Maxi- milian and the Pope will soon be amicably ad- justed. It had not been heard at the City of ‘Mexico that Juarez had left Chihuahua, but it was known that Negrete was at.\San Antonio. General Figarol, a Liberal General operating in Ajacco, had been repulsed, and retreated to- wards Tehuantepec. In Tehuantepec a body of two thousand Liberals were whipped. Col Garcia Cado.a Liberal, who was sent to the City of Mexico for trial, hod been shot. Colo- nei Patica, ancther Liberal, who was about to be shot at Monlira, had been sent to the City of Mexico for trial. Marshal Bazaine has gone to Querretta to organize important military movements. French reinforcements have been sent to Mazatlan. The Governor of Lower California, who tried toimduce the people to submit to Maximilian, but tailed, has left the country. A military force is to be sent there to force obedience. plot has been discovered against the life of Maximilian’s war minister, and several persons, two ex-colonels among them, have been arrested. General Ortega has been defeated by the Imperialists, and has re- treated to El Reccior. Dr. J. J. Craven, who, for nearly a year past, has been performing the duties of medical director and purveyor at Fortress -Monroe will, in afew days, be relieved from his posi- tion, and ordered to report at bis home at New- ark, New Jersey. Dr. Crayen entered the service in 1961, asa surgeon of the Ist New Jer- sey regiment, since which time he has filled various high positions im the army, to which his eminent abilities have entitled him. About a@ yenr ago he received spocbes pecgerene 5 of Lieu- tenant colonel and chief medical director of that department. The Legisiature of Idaho unanimously en- dorsed President Johnson's reconstruction licy and the administration of Governor 4yon, pledging both a hearty support. The Houee granted a territorial charter for a branch of the Pacific railroad from Salt Lake City to Columbia and the Valley of Smoke River.

Financial and Commercial. Stocks continue extremeiy dull in New York At the morning board, yesterday, there was a partial recovery of tone, which was lost before the meeting of the evening board. The New York Commercial Advertiser says that the Emperor Napoleon’s speech has not excited much interest in financial circles, late news having led to the anticipation of what the Emperor positively announces, his intention to withdraw his forces from Mexico. Govern- ments slightly sympathized with the news, but the gold premium was unaffected by it. With the exception of old five-twenties, gold interest bonds were ¥ better. The several issnes of seven-thirties also rese %. The money market wes without change. The most general rate on call loans 6 per cent., with numerous excep- tions at 5 per cent.; the demand for loans mod- erate; discounts moderately active at late quo- tations, viz: see per cent. for best paper; sa9 — cent. for g: |, and 10815 per cent. for less nown names.

Phuney,) to the eloquent man? per in w you baveexpressed the sentiments and feelings of those you t om this occation, | mi content myself with simply retu my tl ks for your kindex 5 But you have made some allusiens to which under = we orgy whic! cannot be indifferent. You have alluded to the great principies of our Government having been enunciated by me in a paper sent a short time since to the Congress of the United States. The declaration by me of those principles was bot the res f impulse. It was the result of & therongh and ciim consideration of those +r at uths which lie at the foundations of all ine j;overmments, Those who understood becc truths, «nd have Inid them down as h ‘rp wide, Cannot fail to understand the doc- the «nunciated in the message. It fs not bectssary to inquire whether they emanate jem ‘Dis Man or that man, Those who under- stand and believe in those prmciples, ng mat- ter from what standpoint they look at them, Will find themselves involuntarily, and imper- ceptioly it may be, but surely coming together in eli great struggles that may take Place im re- gard to them; while those she disciaim them, who are willing to repudiate them, and set them af naught, will be found disintegrating and travelling in & divergent direction. For this reason there may be many now coming: together without any previons concert or ar. rangement, but imperceptibly, because they agree on the same great principles. 1 think, gentiemen, there is no one who can mistake the great cardinal principles that are laid down in that message. They comprehend and embrace the principles upon which the Gov- ernment rests, and upon which, to be success- ful, it must be administered. 1 care not by what name the party administering the Goy- ernment may denominated—the Union party, the Republican party, the Demo- crauc party, or whainot—no party ean administer the Government successfully unless it is administered upon the great principles Isid down in that paper. You would meet with about the same success in attempting to carry on the Government upon any other principles than those which are tound in the Const-tution as you would if you should take hoid of a piece of machinery that bad been constructed and trained to run bar. moniously in one direction, and attempt by re verse action to run it in the opposite direction. I say again that I think no one can mistake the doctrines of that message. It is very easy for persons to Misrepresent it, and to make asser- tions that this, that or the other had taken place, or will take place; put 1 think I may be permitted to say to you on this occasion that, taking all my antecedents, going back to my advent into polineal lite, amd continuing down to the present time, the great cardinal prin- ciples set forth in that paper have been my constant and unerring guide. After havin, gone so far, it is impossible for me to turn an take a different direction. They will be my guide from this time onward, and those who understand them may know where I shall al- ways be tound when principle is invoived. Here let me say to you, in order to disabuse the public mind as far as itis possible for aa individual to do Se my public career is weli-nigh done he sand of my political glaes has well-nigh ron ont. If were dis- posed to refer to myeelf, I might trace my ca- reer back to the log cabin, thea an alderman and mayor in a village, then through both branches of the State Legisiature, then tor tem consecutive years in the National House of Representatives, then through the cubernato- rial chair to the Senate of the United States. then provisional governor, with a slight par- ticipation in military affairs, then Vice Presi- dent, and now in the position I occupy before you; and now in this position, if 1 can be in- strumental in restoring the Government of the United States, in restoring to their true position in the Union those States whose relations to the National Government have been for a time in. terrupted by one of the most gigantic rebellions that ever occurred in the world, so that we can proclaim once more that we are a united peopie, I shall feel that the measure of my am- bition has been filled, and filled to overflowing; and at that pomt, if there be any who are en- vious and jealous of honor and position, I shall be aes rag) to make them as politea bow as 1 know how, and thank them to take the place L have occupied, for my mission will have been fulfilled. In saying this, in the performanceof my duty, and in response to the encouragement you have given me, I feel that 1 am in a condition not to be arrogent, not to feel imperious or supergili- ous. 1 tee] that I can afford wo do right, and so feeling, God being willing, 1 intend to doright, and so far as in me lies I intend to administer this Government upon the principles that lie at the foundation of it. I can inform all irants who are trying to form their combinations for the fatare, who want to make one organization for one pur- pose, and another for another, that they are not in my way; I] am nota candidate for any posi- ton, and bence I repeat 1 can afford to do right and, being in that condition, I will do right. 1 make this announcement for the purpose of let- ting ali know that my work is to restore the Gov- erpment—not to make combinations with any reference to any future candidacy for the Presi- dency of the United States. 1 have reached the utmost round; my race is ren. so faras that is concerned, my object is to perform my duty, and that I will endeavor to do. Let us all, then, join in this great work of res- toration; and while we are restoring and re- Pairing the breaches that have been made, jet us also unite in the work of making new States, pe ar ame them bh MOY who are we y of the Government Protects them, and let those new State governments be found- ed on principles in harmony with the machinery devised by our fathers. regards any aid or ass! ce that can be given bere in the pi and in the consummation of this great work of building up new States, ‘85 well as im the restoration of all the former —— you will flud me a willing and cordial elper. Centlemen, I did not expect this demonstra- uon, but sa Will please accept my thanks for the compliment you have paid me on this oc- casion, and the encouragement you have given me in the discharge of my duty. All I can say in conclusion 1s to assure you that any assistance yon msy need from this quarter will be most cheerfully given to ad- vance the interests of the community you rep- resent. mrround us, 1 SINGULAR Case or Trance.—A lady re- siding within sixteen of Raleigh (says miles the Progress,) who bas been in delicate health since the loss of ber husband in 1543, died last a ‘was supposed,) and friends in the neigh! on such occasions.
