He could not admit that the Federal Government not wishing to recognize aa legitimate the tie fagut government of Maximilian, and considering it Illu sory to address itself to Juarez, had any ground to ap ply to France, in order to escape from this embarrass ment, and request explanations from her relative to acta emanating from the sovereign authority of a foreign government M. Drouyn de IJluys con tinues; We return to the principle of non-intervention, and the moment we accept it as our rule of conduct, our interest and honor require us to demand its equal ap plication by all. Belying upon the equitable spirit of the Washington Cabinet, we expect from it the assur ance that the American people will conform to the law of non-intervention, which they invoke, by maintain ing a strict neutrality with Ireland and Mexico. When you shall hare iul'ormed me of the resolution of the American Government in this matter, I shall V*> iu * position to acquaint you with the result of our negotiations with the Emperor Maximilian for the re turn of our troops. Spain. Iu the sitting of the Committee of the Cortes on January 27, on the address to the Queen, Senor Caa- anneva requested permission to bring forward a pro test in favor of the temporal power of the Pope. The Ministry asented to this request. It is rumored that the state of aeige in Madrid will be raised on January 30. The Politics says; Several vessels bearing Chilian colon have appeared off'Valencia, and given chase to some Spanish coasting brigs. It it asserted that the pursuers are not Chilian cruisers, but simply pirates under cover of the Chilian ffag. A telegram from St. Nizaire,of-January 29, says: The Spanish Minister to Peru, and apaniah Consul at Callao, are among the pasaengera by the French mail packet arrived here to-day.

France and Mexico—Important Diplomatic Corres pondence-Demand. of the French Minister for Ihe Neutralitv of the United Slates—Chilian Prtcateers off the Spanisti Coast. Tlie steamer Bremen, from Southampton on the 31st ot January, arrived at New York on the 15th, Great Britain. The Sunday Gazette says: The first reading will not be moved until either close upon the adjournment for the Easter recess or even more probably upon the reassembling of the House after the holidays. A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday. Government has issued another proclamation of fering $2,30U for the capture of Stephens. An additional seizure of fifty rifles and bayonets was made on Saturday at Dundalk. The cattle disease still increases in England. The Dublin police believe that Stephens 1b concealed in that city or vicinity, and that his ultimate escape is impossible. Royal engineers are engaged examining the defences of Spike Island, Cork. Additional detaila of the Jamaica insurrection had reached England, but no new facte had been elicited. The new Governor had arrived. The Legislature had taken action which virtually threw the whole manage ment of affairs upon the Imperial Government. The London Times takes the following view of Mex ican affairs: Whatever may have been the prudence of establish ing a hereditary monarchy in Mexico, it Is now fully apparent that the French Emperor ia aware that it must either take root of itself or wither away. A for eign force cannot occupy a country for a long term of years witboat producing the most bitter discontents. The occupation of Rome has been the greatest politi cal scandal of our time. The occupation of Mexico would prevent the most just and beneficent Govern ment that could be formed from duly consolidating it self. As long as Juarez can keep a section of the popula tion in hte fSVor, which will be long indeed in such a country as Mexico, there will be a belief throughout the world that the Imperial throne is supported only by French bayonets, that the mass of the people are kept down by force, and that the dynasty ia wliat Americana describe it—a foreign rule imposed by for eign force. It may, then, be taken for granted that the French occupation will shortly cease. It would be a good thing if the year 1866 saw both the Roman and the Mexican territory evacuated, and tins will not improbably be the case. It now remains for the United States to take thiB concession in a gene- jous spirit, and to leave the Mexicans witbont Inter ference to deal with their present Government, which, whatever may be its origin, has certainly fiut an end to an anarchy which threatened to destroy every ves tige of civilization. France. The Patrie says:*“The documents referring to Mexico have been sent to press. They will form a sup plementary pamphlet to the- Yellow Book, and will immediately’ follow the distribution of the latter among Senators and Deputies.’’ The government has decided to issue these docu ments in consequence of the publication of the American despatches. FRANCE AND THE UNITED STATES. A despatch from Paris, of January 29, says: The of ficial Yellow Book, containing the diplomatic corres pondence of the French government with foreign powers, was laid on the table o( the Corps Legislatif to-day. The despatches exchanged between France and the United States on the subject of Mexico, are in con formity with the declarations made m the Emperor's speech at the opening of the session, and in the ex pose of the condition of the Empire. A despatch from M. Drouyn de Lhuys to the Mar quis de Montholon, dated January 9, replying to a communication from Mr. Seward, dated December 16, alter announcing that this reply had been submitted to, the Emperor, expresses the conviction that— “ The divergence of views between the two Cabinets is the result of an erroneous appreciation of the inten tions of France.’’ M. Drouyn de Lhnys proceeds to state that France seeks the realization at no ambitious ideas, and says: Now that there is a regular government in Mexico, the legitimate object of our expedition will be attained. We are endeavoring, while satisfying our interests and our dignity, to make arrangements which will enable us to consider the mission of our army in Mexico ter minated. Another despatch of M. Drouyn de Lhuys, dated January 25,1866, to the French Minister at Waahing- ton, relates a conversation of the fonner with Mr. Bigelow. i On that occasion M. Drouyn de Lhuys declined an official controversy upon the measures taken by the Emperor Maximilian, stating that he could onl- ceive Mr. Bigelow's communications on that as simple information. This reservation established, the French Minister observed, in the courte of conversation, the mea sures pointed out were of a purely administrative order, and did not appear to him to constitute any of The National Bankrupt Bill. Thia bill, which passed the House of Representa tives at the last session, and will now, it is believed, pass both Houses, was to have beeu taken up and considered by the House on the 13th. As the bill is one of universal interest, we give an abstract of ita provisions: “The bill gives the present United States Courts ju risdiction iu all cases arising under tbe act, and regu lates the appointment, ditties and powers of the offi cers who are to act in a judicial capacity under super vision of the Courts, and subject to their order, the practice in all proceedings in bankruptcy, and some other matters of merely professional interest. The bill then provides for voluntary bankruptcy on the mo tion of the bankrupt himself, and involuntary bank ruptcy on the motion of the creditors of the bankrupt. The provisions are distinct as to each. “In voluntary bankruptcy it is provided that any per son residing within the" jurisdiction of the United States, owing debts provable under tbe act exceeding 4500 in amount, can apply by petition to the judge of tbe judicial district in which he resides, setting forth his inability to pay bis debts, annexing a sworn sched ule of his debt, their amount and nature, with tbe names and residence of the creditors; annexing also an inventory ol ail property of every kind in his pos session in which he has an interest; and the filing of such petition is to be an act of bankruptcy, and the petitioner is to be adjudged a bankrupt. The Judge is then to issue a warrant, directing, the marshal to take possession of all the debtor's property of every kind, and keep tbe same until the appointment of an assignee, and directing him to notify creditors to prove their debts. Assignees are to be chosen by the greater part, in value, of creditors; and such assig nees, when approved by the Judge, take possession of the debtor’s jiroperty and all broks and papers relating thereto, with certain slight exceptions. “ All debts and liabilities existing, though not ma tured or uot ascertained in amount at the time of the adjudication of bankruptcy, may be proved against the bankrupt’s estate, and all claims provable under the act can be prosecuted in no other manner than under the act, except lor the mere purpose of declining their amount. All claims are to be presented on oath,and are to he investigated judicial iu case either their amount or validity is disputed. The assignees also have power under the supervision of the courte, to sell or re deem property, and to take various prescribed mea sures for the advantage of the estate—to bring to and defend suit on behalf of the estate. Wages due an operative, clerk or house-servant, to an amount not exceeding fifty dollars, are to have pri ority over all the other claims of individuals, and be first paid iu.full. At the final dividend claims are to be paid in the following order; First, fees and coats of the proceedings; Becond, all dues to the United States; third, ail dues to the State in which the pro- ciedii gsare pending; fourth, wages of operatives, Ac, which uav e accrued in the six months preceding the first notice of the proceedings as above mentioned; fifth, all dues to persons entitled to priority, aside f om the provisions of the act, under the laws of the United States. On due notice, at the time and under the conditions provided by tbe act, the final discharge ia to be given to the bankrupt from ull claims provable under tbe act; such discharge to be withheld, or to be invalid if granted, iu case of fraud or violation on the part of the petitioner of the uruviaionB of the act in that be half. No second discharge is to be granted to any bank rupt whose estate is insufficient to pay seventy pur cent, of tbe claims against it without the consent of three-fourths iu value of his creditors. And no third discharge can be granted in any cate. But any bank rupt who lias paid all claims existing at tbe time of a previous bankruptcy, shall be entitled to a discharge as though there bad been no previous application. Creditors may oppose the discharge and have tlie grounds of their opposition tried by jury. All debts created by action of tbe bankrupt iu a judiciary capa city are exempted from tbe operation of the discharge. Similar provisions are made as to bankruptcy pro ceedings on the part of partnerships and corpora tions. “The proceedings in involuntary bankruptcy on the motion of the creditors differ Irom those in voluntary bankruptcy simply iu their commencement. When ever a debtor avoids legal process in an action for the recovery of a debt or demand provable imder the act, or disposes of bis property in fraud of his creditors: or whenever a banker, merchant or trader fraudulent ly suspends, and does not resume tbe payment of his commercial paper within fourteen days, and in a large class of enumerated cases, the debtor, on petition of his creditors to tbe amount of over $250, shall be ad judged a bankrupt. After the adjudication of bankruptcy, three-fourths in value of the creditors can, under the direction and approval of the court, wind up and settle tha bank rupt's estate in such manner aa they may agree upon, and the estate is then vested in trustees, the rights and duties of the trustees being similar to those of the as signees under the ordinary method of procedure; and the discharge is to be in the same form and of the same effect as though the usual proceedings in bank ruptcy were had.” Horrible Tragedy, The Salisbury, N- C., Banner, of the 20th, says “ One of tbe most heartrending accidents that it has ever been our duty to record, happened this morn ing at the house of Mr. Mathias Rimer, four miles from this city. “ Two suns of Mr. Rimer, aged eighteen and twenty years respectively, built for their little sister, a girl of seven years of age, and two small brothers, a “play house,’’ some fourteen feet from the house. It was built of huge logs about sixteen inches square, and was sixteen feet iu width and height. It was covered with boards, and iu it was a large pile of straw, broom sage and hay, on which tbe children played. No door haid been cut, so the children had to crawl under the sill, which rested on four stoneB, One plank of the fioor was left out to give them admission. “The night of which the occurrence took place in the morning, the eldest boy slept in there complaining of it being too warm in the bouse. In the morning, when the tires were being made, he asked to have some brought into the play honBe. This was some thing novel with the children, and they all went In with the fire. " In a few moments the pile of straw was in full flame. The little girl who happened to be nearest the gap escaped uninjured. The eldest boy, with two younger brothers, were suffocated to death and burned afterwards. The second eldest boy got out badly burned; he will probably not recover. “ Mr. Rimer is absent in Illinois, and Mrs. Rimer knew nothing of the affair until the little girl rau in and told her. She procured an axe and tried to save her children by knocking off the roof, but it was too late.” The Richmond Examiner OAlce Closed by Order of General Grant. Richmond, Va., Fab. 13,1866.—Tha Examiner office waa closed at nine o'clock this evening by order of General Terry. The order is said to have emanated from General Grant. _ The New York Herald’s correspondent says: “lam informed from Richmond that a military guard is still in possession of the Examiner office.— The further publication of that sheet it discontinued indefinitely. The recent attacks upon the government and the officers of the United States army stationed in Richmond are supposed to be the reasons which com pelled General Terry to issue the order. Public opin ion is said to sustain the military authorities in their action in the ptatter. General Terry has the key to the office, and unless his action is countermanded by the government the paper will not again appear under the old regime." Latest from Columbus.—The Enquirer of the 15th says: « “Yesterday waa another day of quietj and perfect order. The colored troopB were hot up8n the streets. Our citizens are settling down in tbe conviction that the government will, on a correct representation of the cause and nature of the late disturbance, relieve them from insults and indignities, which, though patiently borne on several occasions, provoked resentment in the instance referred to. We believe that the authori ties here have the disposition and will be able to re strain any attempts to get up further difficulties.” The FreedmemV Bureau BIU before the President. Washington, February 14,1866.—The Freedman's Bureau bill having yesterday been placed in the hands of the President, much interest is excited as to his course concerning it. It is no secret that he does not approve at all of ita provisions. —The National Democratic Executive Committee have bad a meeting for general consultation, bnt did not come to any deteirnination aa to recommend!: Wanted.-For Sale.-To Rent.
