Under that arrangement the fret detachment of those troops were to have ombarked for home during the present month, but as yet vo prepara tions for euch an emberkation have been made, and it is even assorted that Napoleon has positively notified our government that he cannot effect the withdrawal until ‘spring, when he promises to make therough aud com- pleto job of it and take all away at once; but, inasmuch aa in making the proposition at this late day he forfoits the pligbted word of his government to remove one detachment this month, our government i* not disposed to put much confidence in his further promisen, There is reagon to believe that thie subject wes made the occasion for a special Cabinet meeting yesterday after. noon, and was continued at the regulary meeting to-day, when General Grant was present by Invitation.
