QUR HAVANA CORRESPONDENCE. Havana, Oct, 20, 1866. The French steamship Impératrice Eugénie, from Vora Crus on the 14th instant, arrived at this porton the A8th; having to undergo some slight repairs to her ma- ohinery she will not sail for St, Thomes till to-morrow. Bhe takes heme about two hundred and fifty troops of the Fifty-frst, many of whom are invalids, The French steamship Tampico, which was to leave ‘Vora Cruz in the afternoon of the 14th, arrived here yes- derday, with eight hundred more troops. DOLEFUL CONDITION OF MKXICO, In the course of my conversations with some of the officers, mostly very intelligent men and true, I found mo equivocasions in the doleful accounts obtained from other sources with regard to the actual situation of Mexico—all was rep resented to be in @ hopeless condi tion; and if any reaction could by some miracle or other take place there it could only be consummated by the master spirit of some one more competent than ‘Maximilian. Whatever may have been the views of Maximilian, or however good his intentions, he was not the man to regenerate Mexico, Napoleon must havo Deen very shortsighted to have chosen simply a well in- atructed, woll intentioned gentleman like Maximilian to wule over such a race as the mass of the Mexicana are known to de. What the Mexicans want is a strong- minded, rough and ready, acting man, with an fron arm— one that will take the lead at the head of an army, and leave his subordinates to make kites in the bureau. Every traveller who has arrived here from Moxico for |- the last two yours has spoken to the same ‘effect. The Mexicans never understood Maximilian, however scholar. Hike he knew their language; and Maximilian to this day does not know the Mexicans, He allowed him- self to be deceived from the very onset, by one party more so than by another, All his acts prove that ho ever and anon vacillated—his volubility bad no end, And yet he is one of the best intentioned men in the world, Which, however, iu Mexican idiom, means of no account. Bazaine is an ambitious man, far too much so to do Maximilian any good, Carlotta was the first to discern it, and ro “sone ag according to the emer- , Bagaine bad in view, it is said, something more the mere interests of either Maximilian or the Mex- foans; but ta overreached Lim, thoagh it was atthe eleventh hour.

Forregss Mownor, Oct. 23, 1866, November, the appointed time for the trial of Jeff Davis, is rapidly drawing olose upon us, but the present Confused complexion. of affairs bearing upon the trial Give very little encouragement that this important event will find an early place on the calendar of the United States court, or apy other civil tribunal, 1 gathor this general and undoubted result from a conver- sation to-day with Mr. L. H. Chandler, United States District Attorney for this district. in the way of a ses- sion of the United States court being held next month in Richmond stands the failure to allot judges ever the districts as newly laid out in the act of Congress at its Inst session, This diMculty can only be’ obviated by whi as iy well known, will not meet until ber. unless a special session is eal'ed by the President, which is altogether too remote a een’, to base any calculation upon, Furthermore, the United States Supreme Court meets in December, when Congress convenes, and with the resent multiplicity of important causes before the court, thief Justice Chase will have his hands too full of bus'- ness to attend to anything else. From this brief exposi- tion of facts, it will be seon that there is no present tike- Whond, notwithstanding what Mr. Davis may anticipate, or his friends or counsel anticipate, or wish for him, of his being brought to trial till next spring at the earlicst. Chief Justice Chase has informed Mr. Chandler of his per- fect readiness and even anxiety to hasten pn the trial, but casts the blameupon the stupid blundering made by the last Congress in its meddling with the eoographical botndaries of the judicial districts in the manner it did without making the proper atlotm nt of judges toconform with the other changes, Regarding the issue of a writ of habeas corp's by any State or local court, Mr. Chand- lor anticipates no such action, but on the contrary feels woll assured it will not be done, His explanations on, this point fn the recent published correspondence of thé | President, Attorney General and himself, are abundantly explicit and need not be recapitulated here. The issus of any such writ, as no one can fail to se, would hostile to the best interests of Mr. Davia As to tho President loning Mr. Davis, it is the op nion of Mr. Chandler that the former has no right to do ft, and will not venture on any such step, Ho does not believe. either, that the President will grant him any farther parole than be now enjoys; but this last statement is a mere matter of opinion, and thus the case stunds, Mr. Davis seems likely tobe booked here for the winter. He may murmur against it, and so may his friends; but there seems no help for it, As in the pas’, 80 im the future, on finding this fate inevitable he will doubtless bear up with like firmness of manner and calm and patient hope.
