Ilnported Communication of tne Freuch Pliuister The Freuch. to M Get Qut of ; Mexico." ' Special Dispatch to the Evening Pos t.J Washington, Dec. 19. Those who are pre dicting that there is likely to occur a breach be tween the, government of France and the United States on the subject of Mexico, are evidently not aware that Mr. Johnson is acting in the mat ter, with a frankness and decision tliat will most probably avert unpleasant consequences. It is reported here, m diplomatic circles, that while the president was preparing his essage the French minister became aware of certain expressions of Mr. Johnson in regard to the French occupation of Mexico, coupled with de mands upon France which might place the em peror m afi embarrassing position. is further said by these who tell tins, that upon hearing these things the French Minister visited Mr. beward, and informally, but pos itively, declared thatv the Emperor did not wish for war with the United States, and that he would very much regret such language or action on the part of the United States as would, bring on a, dead lock and make it impossible for him to re cede Without humiliation. .. . At the. same time, M. de Montholon .assured Mr. Seward, so say these persons, that he was authorized to promise that . the -French troops would be ; withdrawn from Mexico in a littie while '.' and that Napoleon only asked for a little patience in the United States government.; It is further said that the rench Minister was able to satisfy the President upon this one point, and to show authority for engaging definitely that Napoleon would withdraw his forces " in a 1 ittle while." And it is reported that General Logan is so well satisfied that there will be no difficulty, but that Jaurez and the Mexican re publicans will soon be .peacefully reinstated in Mexico, that he ..declines the mission as less in teresting to him than, some other work he has in hand. -."' - -- jo one negro, whom he pointed out to me on his :43fJiiTcoo ha nautf a rtnl Or anrl a Hall.

Tne Chilian Question. AMERICA EXPECTED TO DECLARE WAR AGAINST . SPAIN, Paris (Dec. 4) correspondence London Post. News from Madrid is looked forward to' with much interest, as we expect to hear that Admiral Pareja may any day do anything, supported as he is by the home government. I am assured by an. authority that Chili will resist; and it added that , the United States will support the. Chilians with arms. This assurance comes frpm a person who certainly might give a good guess of what the Washington , cabinet would do, see ing another of the small sister republics unjustly attacked ; by a European power. At all events an American squadron is on its way to Chilian waters, and no one can say what events will oc cur. There is the island of Cuba, wbich an ad miral of the United States might visit with as much reason as Pareia has blockaded the Chilian ports, The Americans are getting jealously irri tated about European interfepence with Ameri can republics. ' Mexfcfr, Peru and . Chille are sore subjects. Depend upon it, the United States will support' the small republics, and, not with words only, now that the civil war is over. - As regards news from .Madrid, .wo get the further assurance of Admiral ParejaV conduct being supported, and, what is more significant,- several ships-of-war are being .prepared "for active ser vice, provided with war material and marines in full complement. The Madrid Epoci says : " Spain will , soon have twenty -five ships of war in the Pacific." . Viewed from Paris, the Chilian difficulty presents itself just as follows: 1. Spain will continue to prosecute her claims. Chili 'will resist. 8. England and France will confine themselves "to neutral observation. 4. The United , $tates will .come 4o the active pro tection of Chili, and declare war with Spain. , the bottom and- from the moment that the Walloon was cut from' itk anchorage and above the Sidney were traitbrs;:and: Jeffreys and Norbuf P? ads Jf PPJ? hecommenced .his perform. were loyal men.

Paris (Dec. 7) correspondence Liverpool Jour nal.! .. . . The affairs of Mexico have come at last to the crisis anticirjated bv wise men from the verv first. but not anticipated even by them to take place qmte so soon. The difficulties which have arisen between the court of the Tuileries and that of the Emperor Maximilian, with the bold determina tion of the American government with regard to Juarez, have, renewed . the rumor of the. secret treaty of Miramar, which empowers the emperor to withdraw his troops at any time from Mexico whenever Maximilian's payments should be two months in arrear. The pretext would be cunous enough on the part of . a power which prides it self on conciliating for ideas alone. . Louis Fhil- mpe, whose system differed with- this ideal one of Louis, Napoleon, declared the country rich en oush to par for any amount of glory it might choose to purchase. But, in this case, the pre text will be seized without scruple by the emper or,-wiio; in presence of the irritation displayed by the United States, is resolved to, avoid a furth er complication of the difficulties amid whicb he has so thoughtlessly j-ushed.- The cause of the coolness between the two emperors is the refusal by Maximilian to receive as minister of I France the inraluawe treasure sent hum in that capacity in the person'of M. Langlais.-- Maxamhan, whose whole life has been spent in dodging his duns, is scarcely green enough to confide his purse itself to one of his most urgent creditors. The mes sage . from the United States, of , which General Schofieid is undoubtedly the bearer, whatever the agreeable journals may declare to the contrajy , has caused - the ' greatest ire at Conipiegne, x ..Max milian has given orders for the evacuation of the northern and southern portions of the empire, in order to remain as true as possible to the family tradition" of the quadrila'ere. The: Empress Charlotte, whose journey to Europe is ostensibly occasioned by the wish to visit her father inhi dying state, leaves with the greatest regret ; but Maximilian, on beholding- the war of extennina-i tioa which 'is 'now commencing between tlie 5a- The South 'f hrou .

C. under date of December 13 : I had a conversation there with a gentlemS who has lohgj been one oi" the foremost inhalft tants oi me-town, ana now noias a.nign pos,i in-it.

There1 wpuld be hopes of , their recovering J if they could get any one to work for them, Di: the negroes . were unmanageable, and there. w really no prospectj"that he could see, of nrfra cing them to enter into steady service. T.hg very morning a planter, a friend of his, had be asking him to imite Germans to come and vide his plantation with him. : He wo"uld wjfg lingly break it up into lots if be. could get he to cultivate: the portion ; he ' would reserve himself.- That was his only chance. He pr f erred Germans to Irish, because he believed -tp Irish were of a rebellious natue. I told t gentleman that In .'.
