Diplomatic Courtesies. —The “ Independence
Beige” says: “ It is said that the dispatch complain
ing of the non-withdrawal of French troops from
Mexico, will not be inserted in the “Yellow Book,”
unless Mr. Seward consents to modify some of its
expressions. This dispatch caused a vivid discus
sion between M. Rouher, acting, ad interim, as Min
at-that time that M. Rouhernotonly refused todiscuss
ister for Foreign Affairs, and Mr. Bigelow. I told you
the note, but even to receive it. The note of the 6th
of December has not been correctly reported by the
press. The French Government lias carefully re
frained from . officially admitting the probable fail
ure of Maximilian. It has merely admitted the
possibility of an independent local government to be
established in Mexico under the auspices of France
and the United States.- It has declared that it would
not refuse to recognize the chief thus elected even
were he Juarez, provided that this establishment
of a new authority were madS under the auspices
of France and the United States. The “ Moniteur ”
says: “The American press brings us very incom
plete extracts of the diplomatic correspondence re
cently laid before Congress. Among them figures a
dispatch, dated 23d November, from Mr. Seward to
Mr. Bigelow. The French Government has never
had knowledge of this document.”

«Wistar’s Balsam of 'Wild Cherry gives universal satisfaction.
It seems to cure a Coogh by loosening and cleansing the lungß, and

DYSPEPSIA AND DEBILITY.
From the venerable Archdeacon Scott, D.D.
Dunham, Canada E‘«t, March 34, 1860.
* * * “I am an inveterate Dyspeptic of more than 25 years’
standing.
* * * * I have been so wonderfully benefited in the three
short weeks during which I have used the Peravian Syrup, that I
can scarcely p rsuade myself of the reality. People who hare
known me are ustonfsh-d at the change. I am widely known, and
can but recommend to others that which has done so much on
me.’* * *
One of the most distinguished Jurists in New
England writes to a friend as follows:
“I have tried the Peruvian Syrup, and the result fully sustains
tour prediction. It h»s made a new man of me; infused into my
syst-ni new vigor and energy; Tam no longer tremulous and debi
litated. as when you last saw me, but stronger, heartier, and with
larger capacity for labor, mental and physical, than at any time
during the last five years.”
An eminent divine of Boston says:
“ I have been using the PERUVIAN SYRUP for some time past;
it gives me new vigor, buoyancy of spirits, elasticity of muscles.”
Thousands have been changed, by the use of this remedy, from
weak, sickly. Buffering creatures, to sirong, healthy, and happy men
