TUESDAY. MAY 22, 180(5. An Inride View of Meilcan A flairs. Thk remarkable J tcr from (,'eneral Bbincourt to General Dgcay, of the French expeditionary aimy in Mexico, which has ust been mado fiublic, shows how completely the bottom Is lulling out of Maximilian's empire. Geuoral Lrincoibt la commander of the 21 Division ol French troops serving; in Mexico, and General Doi'at, to whom he writes, Is commander ol the 1st Division, so that In this letter we have . the private and confidential opinion ot onsjof the chief ofllcers of the French array. That opinion Is by no means a flatter ing one, either of the Emperor Maximilian, Marshal Bazaine, or ot the final success of the en) piie. Max and the Marshal are obstinate and quarrelsome, says the General. Nobody can manage the treasury since the death of M. l.ANOLAis ; beside, the Mexican busines is dally growing more unpopular In France, while the United States are assuming a more menacing attitude. Moreover, he says to Doc at quoting evidently from a letter received lrom Dodat "If, as you suy, Marshal Bazaink, with unlimited credit, and with near one hun died thousand men, composed of foreign and Mexican troops, ha achUvcd only an actual situation so very precarious, we, deprived of the French flag, and with an empty treasury, can not, with twenty-flve thousand men, re-establish the former condition of affairs." This, It must be confessed, la an inside view of f Hairs which shows the empire to be falling to pieces at a most rapid rato, In the first place, it shows that Marshal Bazaine, with the vast resources at his command, achieved only an actual situation "so very precarious," as the General phrases it; and in the second place, it shows very clearly that, with the diminished forces and resources now available for the empire, even this precarious actual situation cannot be maintained. Hence, Brincoubt gets leave of absence for six months, and very plainly Inti mates that once out ot the unpromising busi ness he shall not be in a hurry to get iaio It again. What gives this letter additional weight, is tee fact that General Brincoubt is one of Louis Ts'AroLEON'B favorite officers, having achieved great distinction in the Algerian campaigns. Evidently we have but to let thipgs take their natural course in Mexico, and Maximilian's em jirp must break down lrom its own inherent weaVness. 11 never had any strength with the Mexican people. It has been propped up by foreign bayonets, and wheu they are withdrawn it must tumble down. It is a knowledge of these facts, doubtless, which has led our Government to take such a decided ttand with Austria in re?ard to her pending reinfoicements to Maximilian. Having by skilful diplomacy secured the withdrawal of France from the affair, we do not Intend to allow any further interference from any foreign power. The progress of events is lustity ing tne pacific course of Mr. Seward hitherto, and is showing the folly of those who would have rushed the nation into recklesa war, to secure in the end no more than we are now getting as (he fruits of v Ue diplomacy. "The Franklin Fund." The regular audit to which the "Franklin Fund," of Boston, is subjected every Iwenty tive years, and which occurred a few weeks since, has recalled to the public attention a Curious clause of the will of Fbanelim which is well worthy of notice. The Boston Journal, in referring to the examination of the fund, gives us an Idea of its magnitude. The facts of the original bequest are these: By the terms of the vtilL one thousand pounds were left to the city in 1791, to be loaned under certain restrictions. The loans made were to be returned in yearly in stalments ol one-tenth ot the sum loaned, with intereBt.and in case the increasing amount should not be required in Boston, it was provided that a portion of It can be let out to mechanics belong ing to other towns in the State, "sueh towns en gaging to pay punctually the interest ani the portions of the principal, annually, to the in habitant of the town of Boston." The thou sand pounds sterling left by Franklin were paid over to the authorities of the town within six months after his decease, and the first loan was mode in the month of May, 1791; and in 1811 it had reached, the sum of nine thousand dollars. The fund, on the 17th of February last, amounted to $110,16G'66. Franklin antL cipatrd, It his plan succeeded, that In one hundred years there would be a fund of 131,000, 100,000 of which he directs shall be expended in public works "which may be judged of most general utility to the inhabitants; such as fortifications, bridges, aqueducts, public buildings, baths, pavements, or whatever may make living in the town more convenient to its people, and render it more agreeable to strangers resorting thither lor health or temporary residence." The remaining 31.000, he provides, shall be let out again on a similar plan, and at the end of the second hundred years that the sum would be 4,061,000 sterling, he donates three millions to the State, and the balance to the inhabitants of the town of Boston, thus terminating the fund. It will be noticed that the calculations of F bank UN were exact, and that when in 1391 the century will be completed, the sura will 1m ve leached the decidedly large sum of $650,000. The Fundamental Question. The New York World of esterday addresses a long article upon reconstruction to what itcalN "moderate" Republicans. We have read its production carefully, and find that It fails utterly to meet what we regard as the vital point in this whole discussion, viz.: Did or did not the Rebel States, by their secession and re bellion, lose their status as States in the Union? The World assumes that they did not. That Is lust what we would like to see. demonstrated. And until that is demonstrated, all appeals to those constitutional provisions which apply to States tn the Union are irrelevant. No man can deny that, as a matter of f&ot, the Rebel States abandoned all participation In the Government of the Union, and formed, and for four years maintained, a rival government known as the "Confederate States of America." No man can deny that these Rebel States waged war against the Union. Now our opinion is that by virtue of these facts, these States, both dt facto aud dejure, lost their status as States in the Union. They were still within the bounda THE DAILY EVKNIKG TELEGRAPH. -PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, ries of tb Union, tbey were still under the rightful Jurisdiction of the Union, but they were not States in the Union; As a matter of fact thoy were still States, for tney were orga nized con? munitk-e exercising all the functions Of civil government, but they were States confede rated together in hostility to the Government of the United States. Now, we do not believe that a State can vo luntary withdraw secede from all participa tion in the government of the Union, defy all of Its constitutional obligations, make war upon the Union, and yet at the same time retain its original status as a State in the Union, and be entitled of ripht to representation in it. Until it is settled that it can do all this, we must con tend that the World's entire argument is founded upon a baseless assumption. Its aopeals to con stitutional provisions applying to States in the Union, as we have before said, are totally irro levaLt. Its whole arctimont is concerned with matters which must stand or fall with this ori ginal and fundamental queotkvi of toe real status of the Rebel States. The Britifh "Redistribution Bill." The effort of the Government to strengthen Its side of the IIoue of Commons by uniting with the Reform bill another bill, redistributing the seats of members so as to equalize represent tion, seems likely to add as many to its enemies as to its friends. The bill will create no less than fifty vacancies, with of course as many transfers. It is understood that the vacancies will be created neither by absolutely or partially dis franchising any place, but by . the plan of group ing existing boroughs, as in Scotland and Wales. The fifty members thus taken from the smaller boroughs will be distributed equally between counties and towns. The fifty thus suddenly cast forth will natu rally endeavor to prevent their own ejection by securing the defeat of the bill. It is cur rently rumored that the Government will so amend the bill as to make the franchise 'rest on 8 in boroughs and 20 in coun ties. The jour, nals appear to agree that the two bills cannot be acted npon unless Parliament continues In session until October, which is hardly probable. It seems likely that the final fate ot (he com bined bills will not be decided until the next annual session. Declines Re-election. The statement which we see going the rounds of the various Indiana paprrs, that the Hou. nenry S. Lane has declined re-election, is, we hope, without foundation. When a public servant has been secured who is not only up to the JeffersonianrequisilPs.honesty, loyalty, and ability, but al0 thoroughly identi fied witn the interests of his constituents, his loss is not a State but a national deprivation. Such a Senator has General Lane proved himself. Among manv upright and able, there is no mem ber of the Upper House who is more universally and deservedly respected. We hope that, for another terra at least, his presence will be felt and his counsels given In our National Capital. As a speaker, Mr. Lane is impressive and power ful, and In committees he is renowned as the best of all the working members of the Senate. A pRor-EE Nomination. We notice among the names sent into the Senate by the President, yesterday, that of William Pbescott Smith, Esq., for tLa post of Collector of Internal Reve nue for the Third District of Maryland, which includes the city of Baltimore. We know of few men better qualified to till the responsible duties of such an official station. Mr. Smith is a gentleman of courtesy, stric t integrity, and approved honor. He has held for several years a leading position on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and by his energy has contributed much towards aiding . the transportation of United States troops. He is in every way quali fied for the post, and bis confirmation may be considered an assured fact. TI1E NATIONAL CAPITAL Special Despatches to The Evening Telegraph, Washington, May 22. Th Appropriations fer Foi-tltlesuions). The amount ot appropriations made by vote of the Senate to-day for fortifications was $1,640,000 Among the items was one for the fort near Detroit, M),000; at 03wegD, $30,000; outlet of Lake Champlaln, $50,000; Fort Schuyler $30,060; Willett's Point, $50,000; Fort Hanil ton, $30,000; Fort Tompkins, $50,000; Sandy Hook, $50,000; Fort Mifflin, $25,000; for platforms for large calibre cannon in important harbox defenses, $100,000; for survey of Northern and Northwestern lakes, $50,000; for purchase of sites for sea-coast defenses, $35,000. Virginia Courts. The idea that the bill for the removal of the United States Courts from Norfolk to Richmond has any especial bearing on the case of Jeff. Davis is erroneous. There is no fit place in Nor folk to hold the Court, its proper location being Richmond. It was removed from there during the war, and Is now returned. Decease of a Rlebmoad Paper. The Richmond Republic, once a loyal Union paper, but which has lately tried to sustain the President's policy, die! to-day, leaving none to regret its demise. Tb Grade of General. The Spnate Military Committee have made an amendment to the House bill creating the grade of General, which increases the total pay and emoluments to near $20,000.
