The opposition in the Corps Xegislatifif Jed
ofif yest Jrday with M. Jules Fayre in an attack
upon the Mexican policy of the JEmperor, The
following is the amendment proposed ' by the,'
epposition to- the paragraph relative to Mexico :
InJlexico, we' deplore more than ever, the
blood spilt for a foreign prinee.' th national
sovereignty uenieci an tne tuture;ot;our policy
conipi omisea, ;ontormabiy to the declarations
of the government, Wi await the recall jf ur,
troops." M. Eavrc delivered a,n eloquent pro-,
test against the interference in Mexipo, and
closed as follows: 4f I close by calling- the at
tention of all serious men to a danger which all
must see, and which is of too grave a character
to be dissimulated. In 1862, when the expedi
tion sailed, I took the liberty of warning the
Chamber of the dangers and the eventualities
which might lead t o a war with the United
States. It is difficult to form an idea of the
wound made in the vry heart of true -Americans
by our fxpedition to Mexico, und have we
net reason to fear that in emerging from a ter
rible war, whichi'h'ajs called Call the kvailabl:?
men to the field of battle, have we not reason to
fear that theeej hordes, rendered -free by peace,
will precipitate themselves upon Mexico. Let
our troops return the?nt and return promptly
this is the true wish of France, and we demajjd
tbat it 8hall be realized "
I have just rf chived a letter from an ofiicer of
one of our shipd f" Lisbon, which, although a.
week old, and containing no actual newsj . still
give some particulars cf late occurrences there
which have not been published My corres
pondent says: " We fourjd our friend, th
'Stonewall here on our arrival, and the author
ities who boarded us informed the Commodore
that she had been notified to lee ve the port im-
mediatsly, and that we would -,bo obliged to
remain until twenty-four hours" had.elapsed.--;
She did not bail, however, until the next morn
ing, when she went out the rate of about nine
knots. She passed very close to us, and we bad
a fine opportunity of looking at her, and I came
to the conclusion that, in smooth water, she
would prove a match for three vessels like this.
We were prevented from anchoring at the usual
ancborag8 on her account, and that afternoon
wo shifted -our berth, but unfortunately our
movements were misunderstood, and the Balem
Castle opened upon us with three gnns. We
dipped our colors at the first fire, but did not
succeed in suppressing the seal of the officer at
the fert, and ht blazed away'at a furious rate.
We were struck only twice, and little or .no
damage was' done. We have no clue to the
whereabouts of the Stonewall, but it is rumored
that she awaits us outside- If so, o muoh the
better,- as- it is generally rough on this coast, and
we will then hav the choice of sea. The Stone
wall shipped several men here and ook in a
supply of coat. The day she staited t blew
half a gale, and if she went out shbmust have
fared badly. A blockade runner, the Amy, left
the port on Saturday flying the rebel flag, at her
fore. She is bound for Liverpool.' 1 . ,
