FRANCE. Partics iv the Assembly—Tho Question of a Vico President—MacMahon, Duke @Aumale and Gambetta—Thiers’ Opiuion of the Sitaa- tion—General Ducro’s Views—Imperialist Nows. PaRIs, Jan. 25, 1872. We are living insuch a state of disorgamzation Mat it is and recently has been impossible to select g@ny particular subject to write upon without talk- ing sheer nonsense, News flows in from all sides fand upon all sorts of subjects, but one 1s at one’s mmt’s end to put the stories into any sort of connec- tion. I will try to give them to you In all their origi- wal and desultory beauty. Perhaps the reader's mind may be better abie than the writer's to realize ome sor: of picture. Alter the farce of Thiers’ Tesignation and reiustalment the Assembly thougnt, properly enough, tuat with a view to avoid any Tuture emergency of that sort it would be desirable 40 appoint a Vice President, without a seat in the Chamber, aud who would have the power of taking Mhe President's place at any moment the President Bhould either die, be taken il or be seized witha weaprtice such as he had the other day. APRAID TO ACT AND WHY? The scheme 1s rauonal enough, and ts in fact Bimply wat you bave in America in the person of the Vice President, and what all the monarchies of the worid have in their heirs apparent. But our (Left is airaid that d’Aumale will be elected, our Right that Gambetta will be clecied, and botn Right and Left that MacMahon will be elected, and will open the gates to Napoleon IV, Thus the very PRINCIPLE OF HAVING A VICE PRESIDENT Js at once rejected as a wrong one by everybody, And we are sill to remain with a single man at tne head of the State—a maa as despotic in his mind as Qny sovereign and as sensitive 1n his feeling as any pid maid, Aud now while D'AUMALE, GAMBETTA AND MACMAHON Bre thus equally eared by thelr opponents, each Party aouses its respecuve leaiers, The Orleanists Bay thai d’Aumale 13 worth notuing; that he is in- Active; that he Las not opened lis mouth since he Look his seat, and that the Due de Nemours is now The man to be looked to as the elder, more religious Bnd more legit mate priace of the younger branch Df the only legitimate royal family of France, The xtreme Let attacks Gambetta for keeping up his Triendsiip with Picard afd for being lately some- ‘what tov courteous to M. Tilers nimseli; whiie the More moderate members of that faction say that Gambetia nieaus revoiution, and revoiution means felnvasion, The other day General Ladmirault, the Governor of Paris, discussing the possible changes Of government with Gencrai de Valabrégue, Baid that shoula Gambeita or any of his Party come torward again he (Ladmirauit) would Btonce resign and leave France. “i dou’t think you will have tme to do either,” remarked De Walabrégue, ‘for you would probably be shot before wou had thue to do anything.’’ Not jess discontent is shown by the imperialisis against MacMaion, for his not paving accepied at ouce the Presidency, e@vhen it was proposed to him last Friday might They say 1t was his duty to accent it, to dissolve at once te assemoly and to make an appeal to the people. Lhe imperialists suppose, of course, that such an appeal, properly worked out by their pgenis, Would end in the re-establ:siment of the empire. At all eveuts, this appeal is the only thing ghey ask for through ali their organs of the press, avin toe Ordre at ie head. This attack upon the wid Maranal is, however, hardiy justifiapie. His Amperiaiisin 1s, Ol course, veyond any suspicion, anda if ne deciined to accept the Presidency it avas, in the Ors, piace, because He did not judge the party who proposed it strong enough at present; In the second, because a great many Of the deputies Invended to compose a triumvirate wf lumseil, Grévy and d’Aumaie, and in the thira because he Kuew that just now the best policy 1s to ‘wail, not allowing any one to take the power, That 4s why he ioid Tiuers, too, that the army would re- Bpect the orders of tue majority of the Assembly, Dut “Wo! not Obey dictatorship,’’ which meaus is (M. Thiers’) dictatorsatp.

Yet the Orieanists liave not los nop Last night they had again a meeting, at which M. Bocher (the feading Orieanist memuver of the Chamber and the intendant of the princes’ private property) moved he lollowing resolution, which Was unanimously acceptet:—“so begin irom to-morrow, every oue of Us pledges himseli to turn all his connections and efforts wo the triumpu of our party, whether It ve ‘With or Without the legitimist faction. We must fmcrease the weakness of some, paralyze the efforts ol others, support all our friends, whatever may be their personal shortcomings, aud must take care ‘That NO’ a singie day passes without our having jained sometiiog eiuber in real force orin pres- Auge.” THE PRESIDENTS FINANCIAL SCHEMES, M. Thiers, on the other hand, is also exerung nis dest efforts to keep up ils prestige. He began @ gouple Of Weeks ago to negotiate (he three miluard usiness with MM. RKothscnild, Sir Thomas Gibbs gud some other bankers, so as If possible, to pay the Germans rignt Off and have the still occupied de- partments evacuated, ‘bis would, of course, im- miensely increase the popularity of M. Thiers; but fhe must take care not to raise the hopes of te people without having a fair coance of seeing them Teauzed. Consequently M. Thiers took measures Ahat tle special correspondent of the London Tines should be imformed in an uneerhand way of what fwas going on, and When a special telegram Im that Rona had appeared the government orgaas were Instructed to contradict the news. In this way faking advantage of tne press, M. Thiers got the matier Known by all the bankers and financial men of the worl who would be likely to put their money anto the proposed tobacco speculduon; and by con- ‘tradicting it secured himsell from all chances of ug attacked should the scheme not prove to be racticable.

That impression has been contirmed by the tact that the Times reproduced in yesterday's issue a translation in extenso of tne French article. AS & rule Paristan journalists are profoundly ignor- ant in all matters concerning the United States. The Débats makes no exception from the general rule, although the tone of the paper is always more decorous and more respectful than the language used by many contemporaries, The Soir informs its readers that “the little bill handed in by the Yankees amounts to an aggregate of about one thousand muilion dollars,” The Times, the Dauy News and the Daily Telegraph, says the French journal, are greatly alarmed, while the Pall Malt Gazette, we are told, looks upon the matter with ‘more complacency, It then goes on to say that the question rests with Lord Granville, whether he feels disposed to await a final issue at tne hands of the tribunal of Geneva. 1t seems doubtfal what course the British government is prepared to take, If the tribunal 1s permitied to examine the ques- tion on the basis of the case pre- sented by che United States England can- not demur against the final decision of that trinunal. ‘The posiuon of Great Britain 18 considered as being exceedingly critical, Wither she wil nave to go to war or she must be prepared lo pay damages Which may be estimated at sevefal thousand mil- lions. ‘tne Soi conciuded by saying:—“It isa mere question of money and not much of honor. How Will England get out of the dilemma? That is the question, a8 her national poet says,” Several other journais fo.low very much in the same fashion, In point of tact, there 1s hardly an editor im Paris who has a knowledge of the English language. Ihe few among them who can read an Eaglish newspaper are unable to unravel a Knotty question. Under tie circumstances the whoie of them depend entirely on such Kind of information as the Reuter- Havas agency is pleased to furnish them. Baron Reuter is on terms of great inumacy with the promoters of the Confederate cotton loan; we may therefore guess at the nature of the information with whica the London ageucy inspires the French press, ‘The experience of our war leaves no doubt on the sub- ject, A single journal, viz., L’Opinion Nationale, ‘was favoranly disposed towards the United States during the whole period of the civil war. French newspapers have no correspondents of their own beyoud the borders of their provinces. Under the circumstances Americans are laboring uuder great disadvantages 1n disseminating news regarding une United states, One of the moraing papers advises the French people to imitate the action of the government of the United States, The Americans, 1t says, exer- cised patience; they wailed until the exhaustion naturally produced by a protracted war had disap- peared; but now that the United States feel again strong and vigorous their patience 1s at an end. The cdlior thinks that patience snould be exercised by the French toward Prossia, and then, “when we feel restored to health and strength, let us strike a blow as America 1s bow able to deal out to Ungland,’? Imust repeat, however, that on the face on it all artlcies in the Paris press have taken ihe key note from the London advices referred to.

Spnin’s Troubles—Tho Revolution of 1860— The Reaction of 1872—Views of the Press of All Stripes of Politics. MavRID, Feb, 3, 1872. Very diMméult would it be to describe the fierce party war now waged in the Madrid press over the dissolution of the Cortes and its attendant circum- stances, Ishall give you a few illustrations from the opposition journals which appeared the day after tne dissolution. Ineed not Mil your columns with extracts from the Ministerial organs, as vou can easily Imagine the kind of articles they would write. According to them there is but one God, King Amadens. and Sagasta 1s his prophet. One or tae flercest opponents of Sagasta and Serrano 13 a new paper recently startea In the radi- cal iaterest by Sefor Martinez, Late private secre- tary to General Prim, Its cailed La Zertutia, and as its office is in the basement floor of the new house where the Duchess of Prim has gone to re- side, some suppose the money to run itis hers, An extract from La Tertulia reads as follows:— YESTERDAY'S PICTURE. “God save liberty! God save the country! God save the dynasty !? was said vesierday previous to ihe reading of the decree of dissolution by the illus- trious chief of our party, Well Knowing the terrible coup déiat the enemies 01 liberty and of our insti- tutions have prepared to retain power to themselves agaiast the national representation and against the definitely signified will of the people. ‘od save the country and its liberty !"’ we repeat, terrified at the picture yesterday presented to our eyes in Par- Hament, in the streets and in the barracks—scenes we believed had disappeared from Spain when the Bourbon dynasty tottered and feil in 1868, We say ho more on the matter, for we await the attitude of our party, whose committees are about to meet to decide teir rule of conduct. FROM EL UNIVERSAL, Tne revolution is dead! Viva the revolution! The more we meditate on the grave event of yester- day tne less are we able to say which sentiment 1s uppermost in our minds, exasperation at the rude biow given to liberty, or the fear for che boldness of those men who launch our institations on the road to run, * * * We are loyal, more loyal than our enemies, We sball be so as long as the dynasty is loyal to the country aud to the constitus tion—that is to say, while it does not break the com- pact it swore vo January 2, 1871. Bat we, who by naiure, habit and conviction abnor adulation or in- trigue, will not seeX to odtain by intrigue what rightfully belongs to us. We will look to the people as above evervihing aud over everything. We siail struggle in the grounds of legality, foc 1% will give us the triumpdh while It exists; but when it 1s vio Jated we shall resolve What is best for the country aud its iberty. _ A REVOLUTION NEAR AT HAND, The Tiempois neither tor Zorrilla, for Sagasta, nor, indeed, for the dynasty, Itisa paid organ of the Alionso party, and It recently congratulated the ex-Queen’s son on the Imminent probability of his being seated on the throne of Spain, Jt attacks the government on the present state of things as follows:— : The Sagasta government perceive the pudlic un- easiness. ‘hey know by the agitation now reining that @ revolution against them 13 at hand. Never nas there been a disturbance, never has there been & perturbauon ending in an appeal to force, that has not been preceded by precursory symptoms and by tears such as rap through all minds at this moment. ‘rhe popular opinion menaces and the government prepares to resist 1 The indignant populace ex- press their disapprobation in every way aud the government answer by drawing swords and loading cannons. It appears to us as if the fatal cry of “Yo arms |" already resounds in the air. THE REVOLUTION OF 1863—THB REACTION OF 1872. The Jmparcial remarks on the dissolution, wita power iu Sagasta’s hands, “The revoldtion of 1863 is ended! The reaction of 1872 has commenced!’ MONTPENSIER THE COMING MAN. The Discusion (repablican) says:—‘‘The revolution Of 1468 has died by the hands of those wao from 1t8 earliest moments conspired to bastardize and cor- Tupi 1t—1o convert 1% into an instrument for the ea- thronement of M. Antoine de Orleaas D, Mont peosier, but the revolution, like @ new phoenix, wiil Tise irom its ashes and overwhelm all the power arrayed against it. Gonzales Bravo, an advanced progresist and even @ democrat up to 1843, in the latter part of his career commited treason against his party and took upon himseit the initiation of @ policy frankly and resolutely reactlonary. sSefor Bagasta is the Gonzales Bravo of 1872, bat more re- Aclionary than his master, Spanish poicy has en- tered into fuil reaction, Whose end will be the com- plete annuuing of the liberues conquered by tne people in September, 156% Let us work without rest Lo deieat the reaction,”* THE ATTACK ON THE KING. Ip another article the Jmparcial, under the title ot “La Obra Mala’? (the bad work), indirectly at+ tacks the King, without citing him by name. It pretenas to be writing of Louis Philippe. It de scribes his fall, and atiribates it to bis delivering nimself to the conservatives, It then sketches the career and rise of Leopoid L of Belgium, attrivut ing the consolidation of his dynasty to his having placed his confaence i the radical party, it then concludes thus:— We, loyally dynastic, only fuifil our duty by mani- festing to the public the results of a radical poucy and those of a conservative policy. ‘lo the latuer we may justly apply the words of Gen» Espar- tero, ML OWE MAG CAE por 8% propio peso.” The bad work falls by its own weight. APPROACHING RUIN. Quoting the above the Cariist paper, Regencra- clon, remarks :— ‘ Poor Savoy dynasty, whose totimate friends pre- dict its proximate rain! IRRESPONSIBLE POWER. viz., that he has now no other defenders tian those in power, A GLANCE AT THE POLITICAL PROSPECTS. and respectable paper, writes thus of the present aspect of Spanish poltics :— Don Amadeus has shined forch, After so many who repent his election, to those who even yet have only recognizea him a8 an essay, to those who struggled for another King not long ago. If the thing only affect the fate of Don Amadens wo should not care for it, but 16 affects the fate of our noble country. With the dissolution of the Cortes poten passions wilt be more and more intensified, he peopie will suifer new violences, Justice and individual security will suffer terrible attacks, and the public peace be in great danger, The lust ses- sion of the Congress leave its memory and will Not quickly be forgotten by the Spavish people. The Ministry, instead of appearing as victors, appeared as criminals en captlia, Senor Sagasta was out of sorts, and vadaverous. The oppositions mantiested @ Serenity, derived from the conviction of having Tulilled their duty. Sefior Fegasts hugged une dagger with which he was about to slay the Uortes ele cied under his own auspices, He drow it out from time to ume, but he for five mortal hours to su ffer the just recriminations of the victims, which were expected to how the head without power of attack or even of speaking! Cruel torment! ‘Tne agonies were for the Ministry, not for the Congress. Selor ‘orrilla has received the same payment from Don ‘madeus as Garibaldi recelved from Victor Emannel, ‘Ab! they called Queen Isabella ungratetul. What will they say of Don Amadeus? THB COMING ELECTIONS. The Zpoca, which has been tolerantly indulgent to King Amadeo, yet has never given in a formal adhesion to his dynasty, but rather covertly sus- tamed the idea of @ restoration in the person of Prince Alfonsisto, writes thus:— The Cortes are dissolved, and the atrempt to make the monarchy of election co-existent with the Revolution of September 18 about to ve renewed in ‘ne coming elections, but in worse conditions than atfirst, Yesterday they cried in the Congress, “Viva the National Sovereignty!” The most appropriate cry would have been Viva the Interinty 1” for it is that whicn still exists afler three years of revo- ation. THE TALK OF THE TOWN. Ia Nacton, a paper of hardly any political color, but generally supposed to be in favor of Zorrilla, says:— In all the circles of Madrid nothing ts spoken of but the dissolution of the Cortes and the conse- quences this act of the Crown may have to tue fue ture. As may be imagined, comments differ accord- ing to the political point of view of each one. Enclosing ourselves in a prudent reserve appropri- ate to the dificult circumstances the country 1s passing through, we do noc wish at present to make ourselves the echo of the opiuions which have even the least gravity. The time will come when we may speak. HINT OF FURTHER TROUBLE. The El Popular says as follows:— -In the present state of things we contemplate with grief the sad picture of our political passions, and without venturing @ judgment respecting the future, decide to wait the scenes of the great drama being piayed before our eyes. Some days ago we spoke OL the expected battle, It has taken place; but we don’t believe the victory obtaimed yesterday by the conservative party will be decisive. Tne struggle will become every day more bloody, 10 our Opinion, and who knows where il will end? VIEWS OF THE MINISTERIAL PRESS. Now tor opinions of another nature. See what two Ministerial organs say:— Tne Iveria—Sehor Sagasta’s own organ—is of course very jubiiant. In one of its many songs of triumphs it exclaims, “Liberty 1s saved! Tae revo- lution 1s saved 1”? The Politica—aiso Ministerial—is equally exultant, ana says:—The radica!s are completely served out. We are pleased at it, and we felicitate the country |’” On these two cries of triumph La Discusion says that the sarcasm involved in them could not be more sanguinary; but the radicals may remind them of the rafrain “that nothing 1s certain till the end.”” To the Jveria it says that ‘what bas been saved by Seior Sagasta is the cause of the French Duke, Montpensier, if in this nidaidic land traitors and apostates are permitted definitely to triumph !’’ THE DAY AFTER THE DISSOLUTION the committee of the radical party met to deliberate their future action, They had @ very enthusiastic meeting and determined to accept no more palace Invitations, On the action to be pursued‘ the Junta Directivo by unanimity advised the party to resort with energy to the urs, but if before the electoral period, or during it, the government made a fair struggle impossivle, which was greatly to be ex- pected irom tne character and tendencies of the situation inaugurated by the closing of the Cortes, tne Junta would not hesitate to recommend the re- Urement (retraimiento) of the radical party, The radical party having on its side right, reason and justice, ought not to give to its enemies the satis- faction of struggling against their lilegalities. God help King Amadeus if the radicals desert him! GERMAN Franco-German Relations—Biemarck and Thiere—A Fit of Sincerity—Great Strategti« eal Error—Experiment with the Poles—"Wuge ging the Five Milliards—A Pittance for the Private Soldier, Millions for the Rich Gen- erals. BeRuix, Jan. 30, 1872, Ever since Bismarck despatched his threatening imstrucuons to Count Arnim politicians have anxiously busied themselves in searching after the motive of this rigorous step. No one dreamed that the terrivle German indignation manifested at the acquittal of the French assassins was seized as an excellent opportunity t0 put the spurs to the Ver- sailles government and give them to understand that the rapid payment of the muiliards was the only safe means of avoiding further serious troubles. M. Thiers’ intention, itis evident, was, on the con- trary, 1o defer the payment by the indemnity, aud so prolong the occupation of German troops, which he considered necessary to his retaining the Presidency. On being informed, however, by M. de Gabriac, on nis return from his mission to Berlin, of the actual Intentions of the German Chancellor, M. Thiers sud- denly realized the necessity of sailing on another tack. ‘To pay off at once the remaining miiliaras and rid the country of the enormous incubus would be a securer means of sustaining his popularity and his hold on the office. President Thiers, not choos- ing to impart this view to his new Envoy near this Court, the Marquis Gonteau de Biron, the result was that at his very first interview with Prince Bis- marck he appealed to the leniency of Germany tor an extension of the time of settiement, for an ear- lier withdrawal of the army of occupation, and for that conciliatory policy without which exhausted France cannot well extricate herself. The French Minister had scarcely left the Chancellor when the latter, 1M One of his SUDDEN FITS OF SINCERITY, remarked to an intimate friend something like the following:—“This new-fledged diplomat ranks high- erin birth than in ability. Speak to me of exnausted Prance, when they squander away untold millions upon their reorganizing army! When I instanced that to him he had not a word to say. I could sim- ply tell him that, as to concessions, he would find me extremely yielaing; yes, willing to concede any- thing proyidea they plank down the mililards.”” This indicates the present position of affairs. Ger- many is exceedingly auxious to lorce France into early settiemeut of her financial obligation, As the conquering Power, still holding vast territuries of the vanquished, she does not want for means to apply strong pressure towards this end. Perhaps jis rabid hunger or the miiliards may be aulayed by the remarkable circumstance brought avout by Moltke aad other military gentases, namely—the ceding of Belfort to the French, which, as we are intormed, is now regarded by tuese same gencrals asa GREAT STRATEGICAL ERROR, A retrieval of which would justify almost any sacri- | fice on the part of Germany, 1t would not be at ail | surprising if the astute Chancellor should manage | to conjure up such @ new condition of affairs as to | make toe future relations between the two coun. | tries hinge upon Belfort. The latest and most astounding political news—difMicult to credit—is the announcement that Russia, in order to outflank Austrian policy in Gallicla, intends to try one more i EXPERIMENT WITH THB POLES. She purposes to conciliate them by allowing them a ain amount of nauional resurrection and inde- pendence, This may seem even stranger than fic- Uon; but there is truth in it, The present Emperor, | BotLunlike Alexander L, has @ considerable touch of the romantic, and, alter having crushed with an iron heel the unfortunate Poles so that they are ulleriy unable to rise by their own strength, | nay now think of extending to them a lifting fand and soaking thea his frienis, His motive may not be Wholly romanuc, but may be seasoned some What Another ngo-Catholic and Carlist organ, the Pensanvienta Bspahol, PeMArks :-- Phat which has come worse off In the last session of the Cortes nas been the irresnonsivle Dower, I with pout jion, AN influential party im Russia mo ch @ reconciuation im the inverest ot » Interest wich, im Aus+ tria, 18 HOW @ question Of life or death to the conse tution. in case Austria were to decide on giving the Gallicians auwnomy 14 Would reac. upon Rus- yf and money.

France, having to pay 5,000,000,000-—exclusive of contributions levied from the various departments, cities and town, Paris alone having paid 200,000,000 irancs—it might have been expected that all damages caused directly by the war to German citizens, and ail outiays made by towns and cor ns for war purposes, would be refunded out of the remaining 3,750, 000,000, equal to 1,000,000, thalers. Why was this enormous indemnity required of the enemy if tho cash, labor and material generously advanced by the people are not properly recognized by the government? In too many Instances this has been the case, Not only from the beginning of the war, but even after the five milli were stipu- lated, and up to this very day, contributions—or, properly speaking, alms—are collected for the wounded and maimed soldiers, At the church doors, public festivals, on the street corners, &c., the poonle are appealed to in benalf of the in- vallds who should ve nobly supported out of the stupendous indemnity. The four miliion thaler relief tund for inaigent Landwehr voted by the Reichstag was beggarly in the extreme, and was admitted tobe so at the time, It was periecily obvious that these four miilions were offered by government only as @ bait to secure four millions more to be distributed by the Emperor ay donauons to his favorite generais and statesmen.

Rome, Jan. 25, 1872, The Grand Duke Michael of Russia has gone on his way toward the Caucasus, and his Grand Duchess, Olga, with the Grand Duchess Mary, hag returned to Naples, whence they will, perhaps, come back to Kome for a few days during the Car- nival, which promises to be a gay festival, as the Questor, Signor Bertl, has puvlished his manifesto allowing the use of masks and dominoes, and the municipal authorities have decided not to abolisi, at least for this season, the quaint custom of start- ing unridden race homes every afternoon up the Corso between a double row of twenty or thirty thousand spectators, The Russian Prince and Princesses were much réted at the Quirinal, and received at the Vatican, as the official Osservatore gravely observes, “with the honors due to their exalted rank, as far as was compatible witn the present exceptional condition of the Pontifical Court Tne Pope had three quarters of an hour’s -chat with their Imperial Highnesses, and was much more cordial than ne would have been two or three years ago, alter the Catiolic persecutions in Poland, to any members of the Ozar’s tainuy applying ior an audience.

LIBERTY OF THE PRESS. Nobody will deny that there is full hberty of the press in Rome aiver reading the following cogre- spondence. The /iatia Nuova is a@ republican paper to which Prince Humpert had subscribed, unui, the tone of the Journal getting too red ior @ court, he requested that no more numbers aught be sent to him.

YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1872.TRIPLE SHEET. REVOLUTIONARY MEXICO. Fighting All Over the ‘“Way- ward Sister” Repub ic. THE ASSASSINATION OF FELIX DIAZ. Particulars About Neri’s Defeat and the Cap- ture of Zacatecas by the Revolutionists. THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST TREVINO, Mexico, Feb. 7, 1872, The military affairs in this part of Mexico are more satisfactory at this moment than they have been for some time past. The campaign of Oaxaca 1s concluded, the capital of that State having been occupied by the government forces after the con- siderable engagement of San Mateo, the Governor ofthe State having been captured and shot, Many of the local chiefs have given in their submission, and there are no considerable rebel forces existing now tn the States of Vera Cruz, Oaxaca, Guerrero or Mexico. To the interior and northward, however, matters are less pleasing, a3 the revoiution has been making Considerable progress under their distinguished military leaders—Trevino, Guerra, Quiroga, Mar- tinez, Cadina, Marquez, Bonego and others. Mon- verey, Saltillo and Durango, capitals of three States, have been occupied py them for some time, and we nave now to record a new defeat and occupation of Zacatecas, another capital. The government forces under General Rocha, now moving forward to the campaign near San Luis, apparently hold the ques- tion of the success of the revolution in their hands, and the result of the coming struggle is anxiously awaited. THE DEATH OF FELIX DIAZ. The Diario Ofoial of the city of Mexico, report- ing the death of the Governor of Oaxaca, says:— At the very moment we were onnouncing yesterday the reception of Feltx Diaz by the peopie of Tehuantepec the telegraph communicated his death--sad offering to the pres- ent civil war, With regard to his death, general opinion de- clares that the event has restored contidence among all tha inhabitants of Oaxaca, ao many lives of whom were sacri- ficed by the deceased Governor. It is grievous to see a people deify those who do not know how to govern them. Peace to the remains of him who was constitutional Governor of Oaxaca—Felix Diaz! The Siglo XLX., a Lerdista newspaper, which professes to be neutral in the present struggle, says in its issue last night as follows :— By tho following oficial communication It will be seen that his death was nothing less than an assassination, One may be execused from asking it its authors will be chas- Used, but what may be said is this, that such horrid crimes cover us with censure before forelzn nations, for they can- not understand that a country calling {teelf clviiized should commit such butcheries of men without a trial, and that they should come to be ordinary events. It causes ua al to give place in our columns to documents of tifis nature, TION OF THE ISTHMUS OF TEHUANTEPEO, at five o'clock tn the morning, a party, made up in ec and Pochutla, brought here the body of Ex. Governor Fellx Diaz, which has been identified, as you will see by the accompanying documents, I forward to you two original letters, which the officer commanding the party delivered to me, both written by Mr. Felix Diaz, «little while before he died, I am assured. By them you will see that the officers attempted to conduct him here alive, which they did not accomplish, as their armed force was’ s plebelan one, which can with’ difiiculty be re- strained in such cases. [also send you alist of the jewelry ‘which the deceased left in the possession of Mr. Muclo Ziga, faking a copy in order to obtain them and) send them tO Jour Beadquarters, Of all tals I advise you for your know: ge. There are several reports in regard to the death of ex-Governor Diaz The one which perhaps is most generally believed is that he Was pursued by troops and shot by one Mr. Cartas, a lawyer of Oaxaca, whom the Governor had sought to execute in December last, but who escaped. Another is vhat he was beaten to death by the Indlans of the Pacific coast. It 1s more probapie, however, that ne was overtaken and shot by tne government troops who were sent in his pursuit, after the Occupation of Oaxaca, General Alatorre anpounces that the body of Gov- ernor Diaz was brought into Pochutla, on the Pact- fic coast, on the 23d of January. Five of the bandits ‘Who attacked and robbed the train at Irola on the “g8th, aetation between Mexico and Puebla, have been caught and shot, and their bodies suspended at the above mentioned station, in sight of the pass- ing train. THE CAPTURE OF ZACATECAS, The Diario Ofcia! has the following about the capture of this important city:— Last evening (the Ist) the government received a telegram from the Governor of Zacatecas announcing that the forces ‘of General Neri had suflered a reverse in an encounter which finally took place with the revels under the command of Donato Guerra, We have as yet no particulars, but, what- ever they may be, tortunai Of an act of arms which neither affee nergetic de- cision of the governme: ntly reparable. Gonzales Cosio, with the government of Zacatecas the troops which were left in the place, went to the city of Aguas Calientes, where they found the forces ‘of General Saches Ochoa. Zacatecas must now be in the pos- session of the rebels, suifering the exactions and acts of vi0- Tence which are to be expected, Fortunately its domination wil only be passing, for the government has already dictated the convenient measures. The advantages of the movement obtained by the rebels over General Neri are of no conse- quence, neither is the situation of San Luis Potos! any occa- sion for alarm, for General Corella is there with the elements hecessary to resist any attack of the enemy, sbould one be ted against the capital of that State. Reserving to publish the particulars which may reach the goveromeat With regard to the reverses which the brigade of General Neri ‘as, suifered, we inform the public of this event, announcing that it will bé quickly repaired, ‘The rumor was prevalent in this city on the 28th and 29th of January that the capital of Zacatecas had been taken on the 25th, after a defeat of General Neri’s forces, near Fresnillo. It appears, as the HERALD was informed by mail by the English steamer, that the rumor Was *not correct, as the battle and occupation of Zacatecas did not occur til the z9tn, the mew. reaching the caplial on Feb- Tuiry 1, it appears that General Neri, commandiuig the government forces, was wounded, thougii It 13 asserted not seriously. The routed forces are said to have numbered not far trom fifteen hundred men, of whom only 300 reached Aguas Calientes, under the immediate command of General Tolentine. These have been incorporated with the forces of General Ocnoa, which nuinber 1,000 infantry and 200 cavairy. This force will deiead any attack upon the capital of Aguas Calientes, or perhaps proceed to the support of the forces of General Corelia, near San Luis Potosi, if etrcumstances snall require it or favor such & movement, THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST TREVINO, We are just imiormed that General Corella has passed out of the city of San Luis Potosi, to under. take a campaign against Trevifio or other rebel jeaders moving agaiast that capital, His forces are assumed to number 2,500 men of allarms, He leaves the city fortified and under command of a compe- tent artillery oflicer. As ‘a part of this new military movement General Rocha has been sent for to aid ’m this campaign at the North. He reached here on the 4th with a force of 1,500 men, and, it is expect- ed, will leave to-morrow (7th) for the North, with his command reorganized and reiniorced from tne levy made in this city and neignborhood to @ totat of over two thousand men. Kocha 1s expected to co-operate with Corella and Ochoa against Treviio, Martinez, Cardena and ovners. In the States of San Luis Potosi, Guerrero, Oaxaca, Vera Cruz and Pueola, the covernment forces have obtained victories over small rebel forces during the past week. ‘The only consiaerapie success of the rebels during the same period has been the deivat 0: General Neri and the occupation of Zacatecas. Rumors prevail at this moment of an attack by the rebeis upon the capital of San Luis Pozosi, but the rumor is not confirmed, The revo- luuionary organ oi this city declares also that new revolatiovary forces have made their appearance 11 the state of Oaxuca, near Tiaxiaco, north of Oaxaca city, This 18, however, impropable, and ts more likely to be @ strategic ramor, Intended to induce the government to withhold Rocha from his ex- ected march to the tnierior and return him to axaca or Teheracan. General Alatorre 18 10 com- mand of Oaxaca, With about two thousand men at the capital and a considerable force moving about the State, ‘The French organ of this city suggests that Por- firio Diaz may be with the new rebel forces near ‘Tiaxtaco, if there be such. ‘The revel organ deciares that Diaz went to the interior three Weeks since, and is now with Lrevitio; but the government is said to be possessed ol in- formation whicu mdaces it to believe that he is in neither of the above mentioned neighborhoods, but that he is lying sick with dysentery in the jmouncainous regions of Puebla. The whereabouts of unis prominent rebel leader will, undoubtedly, very soon be known. The news 14 conflicting from the Pacific coast. ‘The rumor has prevaued for some days of the reoc- cupauion of Mazatian py government forces, and in rebel quarters the conirary 1s asserted, positively assuring the puolic that the forces of the govern: ment were rowed near that port, which threatened it, and whieh were commanded by Governor Pesquiera, of Sonora, and General Garcia Moraies. ‘The same authority (rebel) announces that Colima was occupied by the revel leader Julho Garcia on the 30th of January, at the head of 600 revolutiomsts. ‘Thus, like all Mexican news, must be received with @ large grain of salt until positively confirmed, Imaginary vic~ tories and defeats are extremely prevalent here now. Later despatches from Aguas Callentes announces that the pattie near Zacatecas, which resulted in the rout of General Neri, lasiea from eleven o' ‘clock in the morning until six at night, and that tie revel forces Were commanded by Generals Guerra, Mav+ tines and Cagona, ‘THB BXPRDITION AGAINST MAZATLAN.

An American Fete in the Grand Hotel at Nices Given in Honor of Admiral Alden and the Officers of the United States Squadron off Ville Franche—General Sherman, Lieutenans Grant and Other Americans Present. OFF VILLE FRANCHE, France, Jan. 19, 1872. Admiral Alden and the officers of the Americam squadron now rendezvoused at this place, were yea- terday the recipients of a very handsome entertain- ment at the nands of Mr. Clement 0, Barclay, of Philadelphia, given by that gentleman at the Grana Hotel at Nice, Preparations had peen making for some time, and as Mr. Barclay’s liberality in entere tainments is well known all who could do so cen- tributed their share to aid him in his arrangements, as Americans only can aid one another, and to make it, also, an affair of which all should feet justly proud. The decorations, flags and such like, were entrusted to Mrs. Captain Wells and dauga- ters, Mrs, Stewart and Miss Cooper, who, though pushed sorely to finish them to their severe taste in time, yet, by industry, managed to do sv. AMONG THE GUESTS were Admiral Alden, Captain Tempie, his chief of staff! and lady; Lieutenant Henry Lyon, flag lieu- tenant; General W. T. Sherman, United Siates Army, with his chief of staff, Colonel Audennied; Lieutenant Frederick Grant, United States Army; General Webb and lady, Mr, Whatney, M. P., and - lady; General Sir Vincent Eyre, Captains Green and Hare and Lieutenant Watson, of the British Army; Captain Stokes Boyd, late of the United States Marine corps, and lady; the officers of the Ameri- can squadron and many French officers of distine tion. About three handred persons were present, of whom neariy nine-tenths were Americans, most of whom are spending the winter in Nice. THE DECORATIONS were chiefly national, and one flag neatly inter- twined with rich evergreens nad a fine eflect in the brilliant light of the chandeliers. Mr. Barclay was assisted in receiving—a work requiring no little ad- dress—by Admiral Alden and Mr. Elihu Washburne, our Minister Kesident to Paris; the suave manner of the latter was peculiarly winning. THE MUSIU for the occasion was furnished by the Wabash’s fine band, which, on the entrance of General Sker- man, played “Sherman’s March.’? In his company was the son of tne President of tne United States, who inherits that rare quality of his father—judi- cious silence, and wno pleased all the gentlemen—I cannot speak for the ladies—with his quiet, un- obtrusive ways and demure demeanor, TOILETS. All officers, army and navy, were in full untform, but an attempt at a description of the toilets of the ladies is impossibie, and this perhaps is the grea est compliment that could be paid to their elegance, for it is characteristic of a well dressed woman that @ man can never teil what she has on; if we tout erisemodle be fine details are quite beside the subject. DANCING commenced at ten o'clock P. M., and consisted of the usual figures, with the exception of what waa called the ‘Court sel’’ of Lancers, whicn needs more than a passing notice. It was a double set, composed as follows:~General Sherman and Mrs. Lieutenant Commander Terry, Lieutenant Grant and Mrs, Kirkpatrick, of Philadelphia; Admiral Alden and the Countess Keisbach, née Miss McCall, of Philadelphia; Minister Washburne and Mrs. Liv- ingston, of New York; Mr. Barclay aod Mrs. Edgar, wile of Commodore Eagar, of New York Yachs Club celebrity; Captain C, H. Wells, United States Navy, and owe, of Cincinnatl, who, not to make invidious distinctions, was conceded to be the loveliest woman present—a great honor among such paragons of charms. General Sherman dances much as fe fights—with his whole soul—and was the lion of the figures a3 weil as of the night, PRESENIALION TO ADMIRAL ALDEN. Just before the formation of this set a nandsome satin flag, inscrived “January 18, 1872,'' was pre- seuted, on benalf of Mr. Barclay, by Miss Lt On to Admirai Alden, who thanked the donor tn an ap- propriate speech, the band playiag “Hall to tae ‘Unter! the wale.

A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE POLICE, To THE EpiroR OF THE HERALD:— _ Its very generally known to the inhabitanis, bus more particularly sull to the police and police au- thorities of the Thirteentu ward, that the “New York City Church Extension and Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Churqy” have & mission church situated at 313 Rivington street.
