OUR MEXIO,AN RELATIONS. important Message from,the President --Positive Refusal td:!: Recognize Maximilian---A Waening to the French GoVernment. --Official Correspon dence on the Subject. WASHINGTON, 'Jan, 9.—The following message was received in the House to day "To the House of Eepresentatives:—ln compliance•with the resolution of the, House of Representatives of the 18th ultimo, re questing information in regard to the steps taken by the so-called Emperor in Mexico, or by any European Power to obtain from the United States a recognition of the so called Emperor of Mexico, and what action has been taken in the premises by the. Governmentof tbe United States, I transmit a report from the Acting Secretary of State, and the papers by which it • was acco'm ponied. 'ArrnnEw joH.NS opt. "Washington, jan. 5,1866:" ' The first of these papers is a communica tion from Senor Arroyo to Mr. Corwin, dated March 2d, 1865, in.whichhe exprosses a desire to see Mr. Seward, extra officially, and to ascertain 'whether the habitation recognition of our consulatcan be'obtained. because of the embarrassments which , exist in consequence of their non-habitation, and while:in Mexico the _exercise of their func tions has been . continued without embar ntsanent to the American consuls,•and that the Government _which waslhat of Don Benito Juarez,: does not exist, either de facto or de jure. A. memorandum by Mr. Seward notes that. the Marquis deMontholon, on the 17th of July, called at the Department of State, saying that a special agent had arrived from Mexico, bearing a letter from Maxi milian to the President of"the United States, with papers making certain explanations relative to transactions on the Rio Grande, upon which the United States Government had made representations to the Imperial Government of France. The Secretary. on• the 18th, after conference with the President returned the letter to Montholon, saying that the United States was in friendly com munication with the Republican Govern ment of Mexico, and, therefore, that the President declined to receive the letter or to hold intercourse with the agent who brought it. August Ist, Minister Romero informs Acting Secretary Hunter that Don Luis Arroyo assumes to act as Commercial Agent in New York, without an exequatur or recognition by the United States Govern ment, and asks whether the Government acknowledges the right of Maximilian to make suck appointment, or whether, as he believes is the case this Governmant only sees in the Republic of Mexico a war be tween it and France. without recognizing that of Maximilian, not even as a Govern ment de facto. The change, he intimates may seem to show that the Government of the United States tacitly recognizes French intervention in Mexico. , Mr. Seward replies, August 9th, that no law of the United States prevents a person from advertising himself as consul, but that this Government recognized ; no other Go vernment in Mexico, except that of Juarez, and assures him that such a commercial agent can perform no consular act relating to the affairs of his countrymen in the United States. To prohibit him from attest ing invoices and manifests, says the Secre tary, will be tantamount to an interdiction of trade between the United States and those Mexican ports which are not in possession of the republican Government of that coun try. The consuls of the United States in Mexico, who have their exequaturs from that Government, oaly themselves dis charge duties as commercial agents in the ports which are not under the control of that Government, in all respects like those which the person (Arroyo) in the same way and to the same extent claims to do in New York in respect to said ports. Senor Romero, on the 12th, complains that no positive answer is given to his inquiries, and notifies Mr. Seward that he has sub mitted the correspondence to his Government and will wait for instructions. Of which communication Mr. Seward makes a formal acknowledgment November 7th, without further explanation.. November Gth the Secretary of State addresses Minister Bige low, and represents that the presence and operations of a French army in Mexico,and its maintenance of an authority there, is a cause of serious concern to the United States. Nevertheless, the objection of the United States is still broader, and includes the authority itself which the French army is thus maintaining. That authority is iu direct antagonism to the policy of this Go vernment and the principle on which it is founded. • Every day's experience of its operations only adds some new confirmation of the justice of the views which this Government expressed at the time the attempt to insti tute that authority first became known. The United States have hitherto practised the - utmost frankness on that subject. They still regard the attempt to establish perma nently a foreign and Imperial Government in Mexico as disallowable and impractica ble, for these reasons they could not now agree to compromise the position they have heretofore assumed; they are not prepared to recognize any political institutions in Mexico which are in opposition to the re- publican Government with which we have so long and so constantly maintained rela tions of amity and friendship. He says in closing, that it is hardly ne cessary to say that we should not be dwell ing so earnestly upon the branch of political relations, if it had, not been our conviction that those relations at the present moment supersede those of commerce in the consid eration of the American people. Mr. Bige low, under date of November 30th, reports reading the despach of Mr. Seward to Drouyn de l'Huys, who thanked him, though he felt obliged to say that he derived neither pleasure nor satisfaction from its contents. Mr. Seward, December 16th, says, "It is the President's purpose that France should be respectfully informed upon two points. First, that the United States earnestly de sire to cultivate sincere friendship with France. Secondly, that his policy woald be brought into imminent jeopardy. unless France could deem it consistent with her interest and honor to desist from the prose cution of armed intervention in Mexico to overthrow the domestic republican Govern ment existing there, and to establish upon its ruins the foreign monarchy which has been attempted to be inaugurated in the Capitol of that country;" and•in conclusion, says that the United States. will not recog nize Maximilian, even if the French troops should be ,withdrawn from Mexico. , The papers submitted include a confiden tial letter from Minister Drouyn de v.Er. a y s to Marquis de Montholon, dated Paris, O c t. 18th, 1865, saying he had renewed , the assuF. ranee of the strong desire of the French Government to withdraw its auxiliarycorps so soon as circumstances will allow it. The French Government had been ready to adopt without delay the basis of an understanding on the subject with the Goternment of Washington; what it asked of the United States was to be assured that it is not their intention to impede the consolidation of the now order of things fotmdin Mexico,and the best guaranty the FrenchGovernthentcould desire would be-their - recognition, of the E oa peror Maximilian 'by ths ,redetal -Gotern inent., Secretary Seward, under date of Dec. 6,' 1865, writes a letter to Marquis de Mon tbolon' in which.hq says, after a review ; all.thefacts, the President is gratified the assurances youhavo'given of the peror's gOod disposition. - • I regret, howevi*, to be obliged , to say the condition - which the Emperor presents is one which= seems to be impracticable.

The T;7nes thinks there are strong reasons to determine Congress against extending the existing exemption of Federal bonds from local taxation. The trial of Callaghan Holmes O'Rear dan, late captain in the Federal army, re sulted in a verdict of acquittal. The court, on the 12d adjourned till the 27th. Perfect tranquillity prevailed at Cork. Sir Henry Storkes is formally gazetted as Captain General and Governor of Jamaica, pending the prosecution of certain inqui ries. Russell Gurney, M. P., and Recor,ier of London, consented to serve asa member of the commission. The Times says the appointment of Gur ney proves a desire on the part of the Go vernment that the inquiry should be con dueted in the most impartial manner. The steamer Great Britain, from Austra lia, had arrived at Liverpool, with about half a million sterling in gold. The Paris Patrie says France and Eng land have not offered mediation to Spain in the Chilian question, but their good offices only, which have been accepted by Spain. FRANCE The weekly returns of the Bank of France show an increase in'bullion of over thirteen and a half million francs. It is confirmed that the French Govern ment resolves to withdraw from the extra dition treaty with F,tigland. The treaty expires in June next. The trouble with the students in Paris still continued. Lectures of the faculties on law and medicine were resumed the 2lst, but the professors were unable to proceed, owing to the noise made by' the students. The latest dispatches say that the agitation among the students was diminishing. A Paris telegram says the report of the Finance Minister was to be issued the 23d. It states that the year 1865 Will close with positive equilibrium, and, probably,a small excess; and that 1866 and 1867, in conse quence of reductions in expenditure ; will show an excess .of thirty million francs, to be carried to the sinking fund, which' - fund is henceforth to be applied to a reduCtiOn of the public debt.
