The leading feature of this. address was in the diffoulties and dangers to both races which President. Johnson believed would follow the experiment of immediate and universal suf- frage, including the emancipated blacks of the Southern States. From the hatred created, on both sides, between the poor whites and the blacks of the South, under the institution of alavery, he pauses to inquire whether those two races now, “without preparation, without time for pase!cn and excitement to be appeased, and an opportunity to aggrandixe that ‘opuntry, to ‘ inorease its commercial ‘prosperity, to add to Emperor knows how to be ambiguous when it t— in MAW YORE MUSEUM OF ANATOMY, (18 Broadway | Judge @. @.

THE MEXICAN QUESTION. Our Peris correapondence and tho extracts from the leading journals of Paris, London, Manchester and Liver- pool, which we publish this morning, show the effeot in @oh of those cities of the French Emporor’s announce. ment on the Mexican question. The estimates thus given differ on many minor points, but in the main agree that Maximilian has been given up by his imperial patron, and that his cause is hopeless. On this point the French papers speak out even more strongly than the English press. Pastioulars of the instructions given by Napoleon to Baron Salliard, the special envoy he has despatched to arrange with Maximilian for the withdrawal of the French troops, are strongly confirmative of the favorable construction whieh has been placed on the Emperor's speech. Napo- leon is represented to have told Baron Salliard to hurry Off to Mexioo by the first steamer, and inform Maximilian that all the French Emperor's obligations to him had been discharged, and that he must now rely on his own Yesources, without the aid of the French troops. The envoy asked for credentials; but Napoleon replied that ‘none were necessary; that @ mere verbal messago was all that was required. This in teelf is commented upon as not the least significant feature in the present crisis. EUROPE. The steamship Peruvian, from Liverpool on the 25th ‘and Londonderry on the 26th wlt., arrived at Portland yesterday, bringing one day later news from Europe. ‘The retreat of Genera!

The execution of John Hackett, for murder, which was to have taken place at the Tombs to-day, has been postponed, a stay of proceedings having been granted for the purpose of taking his case to the Supreme Court. ‘A verdict of guilty was yesterday rendered by the Jury in the case of Nelson Steward, tried in the United States District Court in Brooklyn on charge of counter- felting nations! currency.

The grand masked ball of the Arion Society took place at the Academy Of Music last night, A full acoount of ite brilliant as well as funny features is given in another portion of our present issue. It was attended by an im- tmense and delighted throng. Addresses in favor of Gonoral Sweeny's war policy were delivered last evening, before a large assomblago of enthusiastic Fenians, at 165 First avenue, and thirty new recruits were enrolled.

Finally, if caretul trial and experience shall prove that the two races cannot come together under the same laws and regulations, he would advocate the colonization of the blacks in some region to themselves, But whether the right of suffrage shall be enlarged or abridged, he contends is- a question which belongs to the people of the several States. These views were anything but satisfactory to the African delegation. Douglass was ready and anxious for a rejoinder on the spot, but, with commendable deference to the pro- Prieties of the occasion, he refrained, and, with ®@ tow passing observations, he and his dele- gation withdrew, and framed elsewhere their reply to the President, which we publish to- day. Thoy contend that the President is in error “in drawing an argument from an inci- cident of a atate of slavery, and making it a basis for a policy adapted toa state of froe- dom;” that the hatred created between South- ern poor whites and blacks by slavery must cease ‘with tho romoval-of the:oause; that we ‘must not ‘put new wine ifito old bottles; “peace is not to be secured by figure in the movements of tlie age, and, if we | the motive of the polisy he enunoiates is con- may say 80, to fortify the monerchical or the | sidered. ‘The passage which was imperfectly imperial principle of government.
