BXICO Crry, June 29, 1809, The great event of the week has been the presen- tation, by Geuerul Rosecrans, of his letter of recall as the United States Minister to Mexico and the ia. | Nelson to his new fleld the occasion troduction of Mr. Thomas H. of duty, The addresses made on by both of the above gentiemen were remarkable for diplomatic brevity, as Well as the replies made thereto by Presklent Juarez, The ceremonies took piace in the immeuse recepuon room of tie palace, and was witnessed by a vast concourse of Mexican and American citizens, Your readers wil observe, by referring to the addresses whic) add hereunto, that from the mission, assured Pr waoenover a fitting eneral Rosecrans, on re! idence Juarez “that opportunity overed, he would be giad to con- tribute to the securing of moral and ma- terial assistance to make lis country all he could x aby desir To which President Juarez replied, tat bis offer was worthy of just estimauion, apd that the government of Mexico would take special pleasure in co-operating in the important object to pe obtained by the fer- mation of useful companies which will favor the development of muiual interests between the two countries. These expressious grow out of the belief entertained by che General, that the future of Mexico depends entirely upo: usuires adopted by the government to encourage aud promoteithe construc- tion Of railroads, and to tuvite emigration by open- ing up the publi whole world at mode- rate prices, aud by protecting the emigrant and his capital The occasions upon which General Rosecrans has frged these views upon toe public men of Mexico have been numerous, aiter his residence of (us in the country, 1 Would appear that eu fully convinced the correctness There have been indications, however, that lauds to the and, of thereof, the few who rule Mexico to-day have preferred to Make no step in any direction until the policy of General Grant towards Mexico shall have been made known through the new Miutster, Mr. Nelson, Should these leaders become satisfied by the Septem- ber session of Congress that the policy of Grant will most likely be one Wich shail re from their own acts of omission or commusston, it 18 possible that the Almighty may bless them Wit sufficient reason and good sense to euable the Congresstonal body to proceed at once to the enactment of laws directed to the development of the resources of the country, the protection of life and property, and the encouragement of capitalists who are will- ing to Contribute towards Mexican material advancement, fhe address of Mr. Nelson will be read with attention t all who are inter- ested tn Mexico and her fature history, as being an expression of the position whicn the United States government considers it occupies towards Mexico at this cariy period of the term of the new adminis- It expresses the earnest desire that pleas- ant relations should continne between the two na- tions, refers to the sudject of claims, declaring that the government of the United States will present none which are not irresistibly commended to,its clearest perceptions of justice, and mentions Matieringly the position of Mexico, won by the heroism of her sous, Some Mexican grumblers have endeavored to discover a mare’s nest in the address of Mr. Nelson, and from their chronic preference for turmoil and anarchy, would not hes vate to impose upon less educated countrymen by falsely interpreting words and sentences. In their anxte! some great Oiscovery in the address they may interpret the as- sertion that only such claims would be presented by the government of the Untied States as were irre- sistibly commended to its clearest perception of jus- tice, as being an lutumation that such as were pre- sented would be urged to an honorable and speedy settlement, subject to the ‘conditions of the treaty. The future may reveal how just such a conclusion may be. President Juarez in his reply reciprocates the pro- testation that Mexico shall be guided by a spirit of recndate, frankness and uty. Tne last paragraph makes some promises in beualf of the government with reference to a revised commercial treaty with the United Siates, which must be of ultimate import- ance to Americau merchants, Minister Neison and suite reached Vera Cruz on the 10th of June, and in consequence of the L.iness of the United States Con- sul, Mr. E. H. Sauinier, was received by Messrs Schleiden and Carran, merchants of that city. The usnal salute of thirteen guns having been given at the moment of landing, the compliment wus returned by Mr. Nelson and Suite, who called upon General Foster, in com- Mand of the military forces, and upon Mr. Sauinier, who died June 16. In consequence of the danger of contracting yellow fever, which it was feared was prevailing somewhat, a delay of only two hours was made in Vera Cruz, a special train having been ten- dered by the Mexico and Vera Cruz Ratiread Com- pany. The party arrived im this city on the 14th of this month, somewhat worn by the journey, Mrs, Hegeman, mother-in-law of Geueral Rosecrans, an aged lady of aeventy-nine years, was quite ili at the time, and dying ou the 7th, was buried im the American burying ground the day following, re- gretted by all who knew her. This mournful occur- rence caused delay in the reception of Mr. Neison, which finally teok place on the 26th, The following is General Nosecrans’ address to Presideat Juarez on presenting his letter of recall:— Mr. PRASIDENT—I have the houor to present to you irom the vresident of the Unired States this lei. te my withdrawal from tais masion. jam au- thorized to repeat the assurance of the cordial good Willot the United States towards tae Mexican gov- ernment and peope, Permit me to add the expres- sion ny OWn best wishes for the wellare of Mexico, and to say tat my residence among you has strengthened rather than diminished that desire for the freedom, progress and prosperity of your country, nnder her autonomy Which Jam suie is suared by the great body of ty fellow citizens, and to assure your Excellency that whenever fiting opportunity offers i shall be glad to contribute to secure mora! and ma- teria! assixianoce to make your country ali you could Feasonaliy ask or desire. To whicn President Juarez replied:— MR.

Moreover, it is Pleasing for me to repeat that, upon your return to your cOhatry, you may be able to manilest to Your countrymen the sincere desire of the people of Mexico and their government waintaia and encourage the most iriendiy (veling with the peopie and goverament of the United tates of America Your ealigttened disposition to contribute tw the moral and tmuaterial welfare of Mexico upon ail oveasions that may be offered to you is wor- thy of jnat estimation, Tie good relations and cordtal friendship existing between tne two repubiics wili ever produce @ great morat benefit, as it wil ever bring material advantages »y increasing commerce on the most eniay Pai and the formavon of useful companies which will favor the development uf mutual interest petween the two countries.

Ferrante apiece, On your wisikirawai bear with you, *, Minister, the sincere expression of my des. for your personal bappinest and ior the wel/are and the prosperity of your country, Minister Nelson's presentation speech was in the following worda:— Mr. Presipent—I have the honor to present my credentiaia as Envoy Extraordinary and Minisier ag otentiary of the i nited Sites of America, and in doing 80 I beg leave to desnie your Exveilengy of the sincere desire of my gaverument that the friendly relations now existing Wetween our respec- tive countries may be perpetual, It will be my duty 88 Weill a8 my highest pleasure, both personally ang omMictally, to endeavor Lo strengthen the ties of sym- pathy and tutorest which should ever unite sister re- Publics, so neuny auke im orgin aod ip system of government.

His bereaved famiy have many sympathizers in Mexico, There is no probability of any change ta the Cabl- Met at present, The city press has for the last few days been exciting itself and the public by revivi- fying the old rumors of dissensions and a general resignauon and breasing up at the ingtization of M. Lerdo de Tejada, who, these rumors say, had made various Charges against M. Romero. Tam able to assert that theré 1s no foundation for these rumors. Mossra. Lerdo and Romero are both of tuem too to y sirong in the affectious of President Juarez for either to think of undertaking a coup d’ciat for the pur- pose of setting aside or depreciating his fellow. Le The former Mr, aggressor, cert lo, whom rumor makes the ty would hardly weaken his own influence by making such an onslaught upon Mr. Romero as he 1s accused of haying made. 1t is to the interest of all such as have genuine claims Zainst the Mexican government that bogus nego- tations be irowned upon or branded at once, in order tuat the former receive proper attention and that the object of the commission be not nuilifien, Cases are heard of here as having deen put to brew, in which the quantity and quality of yeast already added thereto would raise the total figures among the hundreds of millions, equal to the value of many Mexican States, Mr. Gomez Palacio and his secretary, Mr. Mejia, of Toluca, will ieave here for Washington the latier part of July.

Under the head of scandalous proceedings, again, in its issue of the 20th it says:—"“On the 2ist of this month there were $200 in the treasury. The employes of the Treasury Department and of the Minister of Hacienda had been paid up to the 16th of June, and likewise the clerks aud oMicers of the other Mfnisterial Departments, The Ministertal deputies to Congress had also been paid for the en- ture month in advanee, tn order to make them to go and work in theelections. Those deputies pertain- {ag to the opposition, have not been patd since the 15th of May.’? Again, the Monitor says:—‘Bankrupt | bankrupt! Three semi-mouthly paymenis due to the employés of the civil and judicial branches of the government. * * * * No money to pay as just accounts as those of the public service, and yet an avandance to destroy the freedom of electiona, to falsify the vote, aud to create deputies who serve ag leadera of the blind to the anti-constitutional policy of;Juarez and Lerao.”* Dissatisfaction is expressed in many localities with the candidates for election to Congress, upon the ground that they are not residents of the dis- tricts and States which they propose to represent. It ig denied that Lozada has made a@ division of the landed property of his district among all classes. The following quotation from a pa- per of this capital, and comments, appeared in the Monitor:—“According to our Ameri- can colleague, the Mexican Extraordinary, it known from an oMcial source in Washington that President Grant had said he always felt a lively in- terest in the affairs of Mexico, and that he had de- termined upon the kind of policy that he should pur- sue with reference to that nation, and that he had given Mr. Nelson ample instructions upon this particular port. averybody in México is de- suous of knowing what that policy is, and are congratulating themscives that for the first thme the United States have a determined policy with reference to their relations with this country.’ Monitor comments: “So Grant feels an interest In Mexico! Will not the government inform us to what we are indebted for the strong sympathy of that President for us? Thanks, thanks, for the in- terest, but we are wholly indiiferent.”” The following circular order has been issued by the Secretary of State and Foreign Relations :— It 18 of interest that captains of ports should send to this department a mouthly list of passengers, to- gether with the nationality of i, passenger, ac- Cording gq it has been required; and as it has been cheery tat im the majority of lists heretofore re- ceived this qjreumstance has not been expressed, the Prosulent of whe repubic has theughe proper to require, through the medium of this ofrcular, that captains of ports xemember to comply exactly with the order apove expressed.

LITERATURE, noe Reviews of New Books, SUBJBOTION wi Mill. New York: D. Applotoa & Go, 17 28m Stuart For some time past the advocates and opponents of the political enfranchisement ‘of women have awaited the publication of this book with considera- bie anxiety on the one side and curiosity on the other. A porusal of its contents will give rise to a feeling of disappointment on all sides, In spite of the undoubted interest in the work Mr. Mill has fallen far beiow public expectation. He merely re- peats the arguments which we have read a thousand times—repeais them, tt is true, with Close reasoning and strong logic. Lt would be strange, indeed, if a man of Mr. Mul’s aotlty did not bring to oear upon 80 linportant @ subject as that on which he has written the most convincing argument be could think of. tat because every tdea tn support of equal- ting tue public relauons of man and woman has been exhausted he could otter no original coutribu- tion tn support of the cause he alvocates, There t4 much Of exaggeration in tue caarges made here of men tyranniziag over women. ‘fhe law of fovce certatuly no more applies to women than 1b does to men, and Mr. Mili does not pretend that men are goverued otherwise than by what he cails jusuce, He admits that men will not accept this view, because tuoi feeliags are interested and an Opinion strongly routed in the feelings, “gains rataer than loses 1a stability by having a preponderating Weight of argument against i.” We canuot seo it tn that ugut. Any soutiiment go strongly centred in the human mind as dely tue most poteut adverse argument must possess that inherency or intuiuoa which surrounds tt with & power of justice and makes i¢ uature, There ts nv abstract principle founded On tradition or custom waicn, if inuerently wrong, cannot bo, and bus not been, eradicated and destroyed by argument. Tae whole course ol nistory tends to prove vis, We assert that tilts subjection of womaa to man, abeut which so muck ts wriiten, is, toa great extent, purely tmaginary—ceriainiy in this country, though probably io%s so among other civilized peoples. ‘Thut there has always been au ineyuality existing between the sexes f3 undeuably true, but it has uot assumed the character of mastersitp on the part of the man and slavery on the part of the woman, At least it does not suassume it auw, in former tines, when & man bad tue power of selling his wife and of beating her to death, he was himself a slave to su- perior authority, and his life, person and property were a8 mucu at the mercy of his ieudal lord (ta sexs), or, running up, at the mercy of his king, as Was his wile at tis mercy.

So tar as tue lu-treatmeat of women by their hus- bands is concerned, we do not believe it is anytiuag so extensive as Mr, Mill declares, The inost avso- lute political equality of Women with men would not preveuta brutal ina from beating his wile, aay more than political equaiity between men prevents their beating each other, To educate menup to that standard of excelience which would make ali respect the equal rights of their wives would be to render the political enfranchisement of women totaily Unnecessary, Decause such @ standard of intelligence would be the millennium, But the brutes of which Mr. Mill speaks Go not form anything near so great a class a8 he asserts, aud they, with very sew excep- tions, are wholly confined to tue lowest order of su clety—men without education, without that menta Testraint upon theif actions which education acquires for them. On the whoie, however, men and women live as happily togewlier as their natures will allow. There is no such thing as uncheckered happiness upon earth, ‘the political equality of aul men in the Uniied States, while ithas elevated the social standing of the has not made them better husbands than the men of Germany. Except in so much as the circumstances of the laborer here are in- jnitely superior to those of the Javorer in England the domestic life of ee So fa® as It relates to tie connection between mah and woman, 1s about the same, There is @ sentiment inherent in humanity which defies all the theories Of moralists and wlich cannot be controled by any human law, and it acts as the great provection to the majority of women against the superior physical strengti of the majority ot en. We aliude to the affections. Comparatively few men tire of their wives after a tew years of mar- ried life. There is a certain Indescribabic clement in the haman composition which binds a man to his wife by the tenderest of ties long aiter the ireshiness: of her youth aud beauty bas faded into age, witu its furrows and wrinkics. And we can find ths ele- ment oftener in the peasaut’s cot than in tae rich man’s mansion, ‘There is yet another point in this question which must not be overlooked. If the subjection oi Wouuu to man is 80 great that ler "ge sr tars in govern- ment with him is @ necessity, for her own provec- tion, then must her eniranchiseient lead to disorder aud a aed in the domestic circle. 048 lua. possible for & man and Nis wile to live happily together wlile they radically differ in tuew ideas, either on social or On political adaus, 11 it be urged that the right of woman to Vote dues not necessarily imply a difference of ideas, then of wnat use is tie vole to ber? If she 18 in ail respects to agree will her husband hiyexercise of polilical power alone ts amply sufliclent for bon, because there is, then, 4 duality of sentiment centred in him of which sie shares & part, His actions are hers, In folowing the dictates of his will he but lollawa the dictates of hers, We therefore reach the unavoidable concia ston that woman suffrage is either Qangerous to society or it 18 Wholly unnecessary. Of course we adinit that if Mr. Mull’s theories of society conid ob. tain throughout the worid opposivion to his views here expressed Would be Wrong; but aa we cannot perceive the fakitest prospect o1 the early realizuuon Of his theories it is useless referring to tiem. In nearly all that Mr. Mill says regarding the mental capacity of woman we heartily agree, Her inferiority 6 man th stature is no reason why her mental faculties suould not be as powerful as those of the other sex, But her capacity for making great discoveries, for enriching the ileratore of the world and for rising far above the majority of her fellow- beings, does not imply a capacity for governing man- kind. The fact that there nave been women wo proved themselves great rulera does not vy an means destro! force of this argument. Indeed, the fact that they existed, as exceptions to the geue- ral rule, only proves the argument true. The: Women, too, have not come wholly from royalty, ax Mr. Mill implies, When be says that “princesses, belug more raised above the generality of men by ther rauks than placed below them Dy their sex, have never been taught that it was improper jor them to concern themselves with polttics;”’ for some of the Most famous of Women—Joun of Arc, for instance— have eprung from the lowest classes of the people, And, again, there {s nothing Mmstory mere plamiy shows than that nearly ail women who have been great rhiers were guided tn their rule by the advice and counsel Of men as much aa, if not more than, b, the natural masculinity of thelr minds. Mr, rid sneer assertion, but sneering does not disprove it. Y ‘9 review at length all the arguments of Mr. a Would consume more space than we can afford. We cannot perceive how the political equality of the sexes will add to the happiness of woman. That there are many callings in life to which she shouid be ad- mitted we have said ona previous , Bad we here repeat it, ‘iiwre are some feasions and kinds of business which her sex forbids her pur- Suing. Before these there are 40 natural ob- stacies that no woman can surmount them without destroying that difference between the sexes which God himself has made, All that she 18 able of cong omenen with Ast sphere of aA (ipr each inly has @ particular sphere and even if man were so disposed he could not pre- vent her.

The mea who indulge in it are most frequently the least prac- teal of mortals, while the women who clamor for the privilege of voting and holding office are, in vine cases out of ten, those who make, or would make, the least agreeable companions for men. Not oniy does the great body of womankind not desire this Uutcal e ichisement, but it can be tri that but few of them are coerced into opposing it, The subjection of the one sex vo the other is purely ioaginary, {¢ is & mere pigment of the imagina- tion, 80 far as tt applies to society, There are oxcep- tions, we admit. Some few women tn the world are slaves to thelr husbands and are most brutally treated, But society has provided a remedy for them, and if through ignorance they do net avail themse'ves of it the most we can do Is to blame society for not educating them to 4 proper knowledge of (ue provection which man has given to woman against hivnsell, and age it voluntarily in propor- tion to all the benetits which he derives trom am ever-adveucing civilizalion. AND THEATRICAL NOTES, ‘The opening sensation of the fall musical and dra Matic season will be the double-preasted splurge of English grand opera, The firat spurt will be given at the Théitre Franyais, on the Lith of September, under the direction of Mme. Parepa-'tusa, Who has organized a superb company of lyric artistes, which includes the names of such well known pubile favors ea as Miss Fanny Stockton, Mrs. Seguin and Messrs.

Nit even the stockwwiders of the “Catacombs” appear oa know anything concerning the capabilities or intet- tions of this French troupe beyond the mere fajt that it proposes to give a six weeks’ season of Frereh grand opera in their barn-like building in Ket Fourteenth street. Under tiese circumstances 1tis but fair to presume that the coming season wil prove both successiy! and remunerative in the high- est degree. Manager Grau, though keeping rather quict of late, 1s by no means idle, His agent has been in Europe for nearly three months making arrange- ments for the approaching fall and winter season, but what his next move on the theatrical clieas- board will be Mr. Gran will not at’ present divuige. ‘This, however, is certain, tt will not be opera bouge, for that e‘fervescent luxury has died from the effects of an overdose of its own shallowness, combined with Frenchified morals, and cannot be resurrected in this country for at least a season or two yet to come, andevyen then it can ouly be made to pay when administered to the good naturea pnblic in small and palatable doses, Mr. Gran appreciates this fact, and will pot ab present attempt to recall the spectre of the bewitching boufe from that oblivion to which it has been consigned by a people mauly in love with it at one time, but who were made actually to swallow more of it than was absolutely necessary to the welfare of their musical and fun-loving temperaments. Of this we are assured, that svould Manager Grau take part in the theatrical tournament of uext season it will be with @ sensation which will ecll all his former dramatic and musical efforts, not even excepting the great turor he created with itistori.
