The French and English representatives at this court, acting uncer instructions from their ;espective govern ments, baving used every aigument and every effort to bripg about a settlement of the Mexican difficulty between Sr. Lafregua and the Spanish government in vain; having gone #0 far even as t say to the government of Spain tha: ip case she should declare war they would not inter- fere thereafter for the protection of Cuba in any event or under eny cirumstances; having failed to bring the two parties to terms, the Conferences having been broken off and bowilities about to commence, at this momeat, and when matters had come precisely to this pass, the two great Powers have thrown themee! ver fairly between the contending parties and orcered them to halt.

In reference to your observations to-day, upon the sus- pension of the liverty of the press in India, allow me to observe that it {s not the English but the native press, con- ducted by natives and published in the native languages’ that is to be suppressed. The native press has long harp” ed with much acrimony upon the religious grievance of the greased cartridge, ani has been mainly instrumental im causing the present troubles, and is, as you may sup- | pore, very upecrupulous about the truth of its statements. As the press baz fomented the rebellion it will of course Bow support ft, and must consequently be treated in the fame way, ti ef armis. Your other observations appear fair enough. It was the opinion when I left England, a month ago, that ft was‘‘on the cards’’ to loso India; but to give you the idea of the sort of “stuff” that England may have to reconqver, I have now before me a letter from a rolative, an officer in the Company's service, en- gaged in the recent erperition to Portia. Ho saye:—"1 think sepoye are, goorrally speaking, d—d cowards, but | being well officeréd and armed, with knowledge of the inferiority of their enemies, can do some w | work ’’ You appear to be ender the supposition that the mutinour nepoyr are officered—thero are no native oflicors except the nor commission ed officers. ] bope and expect the outbreak will result in the change of the form of @ ment, and you appear to be of the fame opinion.

We are safely anchored in the busy harbor of that very business ke place, the Oil City, alias New Bedford, where we arrived per yacht Blank, in oompany wilh the fleet, yesterday afternoon. But before devoting a para- graph or two to the good city of New Bedford letus begin our log fairly at the point where we left you in our last letter, at Newport. Atl0 A.M. on Wednesday morning, after divers guns from the Commodore, the yacht fleet, numbering some 26 sail, swept out of Newport harbor, passing the Damplings with a fair and bracivg breeze, and, like soa birds tak- ing wing, went glancing by the fort rocks, where a nu- merous throng of gentlemen and “ladies fair’? had gath- ered to witness their exit, and watch the pleasure craft until the white sails bowed to the gale, waving thelr silent | farewells as they rode like ducks across the long surging swells of the broad Atlantic, We would that we had pace to paint the scene as It deserves—lo give you a men- ‘al daguerreotype as it were of the long line of contending vessels. Bat like the parson who could not bring a thun- der shower into bis pointed sermon, we cannot give you the loom of the breakers—the fresh, glorious breeze of the sea—the ioed champagne and lunch at 11, with the appetite of a yachter—there bangs the descripton—it bas already run into eating and drinking. Suffice it then to fay that at 2 P.M. we reached New Gedford Dumplings, quite as edible, by the way, as those of Newport, wher> we hove to wii e commodore and craft to give the little fellows a chance to close up, then pushed in for e anchorage, with inaeed far more of haste than discre- tion in some instances, as the muddy track of the centre boards and “touch and go” proved. But I spare you the banging of guns, the lighthouse decked with flags, the com!ng to anchor, &o. Yes, even the evening display of fheworks, with its (to us) somewhat exciting accompaniment of an erratic candle bail, which came within a foot or #0 of “our special correspondent’ s’”’ unofferding nose. Yes, we will refrain, and bring you down without further preface to the day. To-day commences, as the log eays, with all sorts of di- version, and as Paddy would pay, devilment to boot. The harbor ts alive with boats; the chances and possibilities of to morrow are dircussed on all sides; the Tom Smith is too much by the bead, the John Jones is gone in the bot- tom.
