THE FlfENtli-MEXICAN QUESTION, Relations. Between the . United States and France—Official Cor respondence. [Paris (January 29) Correspondence London Daily News.] The official Yellow Book, containing the diplomatic correspondence of the French government with Foreign Powers, was laid on the table at the Corps Legislatif to-day. The despatches exchanged between France and the United States, on the subject of Mexico, are in conformity with the declara tions made in the Emperor's speech at the opening of the session, and in the expose of the condition of the empire. Dronyn de Lhuy slothe Marquis de t. A despatch from M. Drouyn de Lhuys to the Marquis de Montholon, dated January 9, replying to a communication from Mr. Seward, dated December 16, after an notuacing that this reply had. been sub mitted to the Emperor, expresses the con viction that : "The divergence of views between the two Cabinets is the result of an erroneous ap preciation of the intentions of France." M. Drouyn de Lhuys proceeds to state that France seeks the realization of no am , bitions ideas and says: • "Nowthaethere is a regular government' in• Mexico, the legitimate object of our ex pedition will be attained. We are endeav oring, While satisfying our interests and our dignity, to make arrangements which will enable ns to consider the mission of our • army in M.exico as terminated." a 9' a a a * "We return to the ,principle of non-in tervention and from the moment we accept it as our rule of conduct, our interest anl honor require us to demilnd its equal appli cation by all. Relying upon the equitable spirit of the Washington Cabinet, we expect from it the assurance that the American people will conform to the law of non - intervention, which they invoke, by main taining a strict neutrality with regard to Mexico. When yon shall have informed me of the resolution of the American Go vernment in this matter, I shall be in a po , sition to acquaint you with the result of our negotiations with the Emperor Maximilian for the return of our troops." Brouyn de Lhuys to Mr. Bigelow. l'Ams. January 15.—You did me the ' honor to communicate last November a let - ter addressed to Mr. Seward by the Attorney General of the United States, on the subject of decrees issued by the Emperor Maximil ian, concerning immigration and coloniza tion in Mexico. That doenment was a criti f aim on the acts of the Mexican govern ment in its internal administration, and in that character I could only receive it as in .:.r; formation. That is what I carefully told you declining at the same time any explanations • on measures with which my government Ife had nothing whatever to do. In now so knowledging, therefore, in pursuance of your desire, the receipt of your letter of No vember 22, I feel it necessary to put upon record the verbal answer which I then gave to it. Accept, &c., DROITYN DE LIMITS. Mr. Bigelow to M. Drontyn de Lhuys. Rims, January 16.—1 have had the honor of receiving your excellency's communica tion dated the 15th inst. relative to certain decrees recently promulgated in Mexico. Your excellency refuses any explanation on the sub' lot of the inadmissible passages in one of these decrees to which I had the honor of calling your attention by a note of November 22d last, and the reason you give is that it relates to measures of internal administration,with which the Government of the Emperor Napoleon 111 has nothing to do. Although the line which separates the responsibility of the imperial govern ment from that of the political organization which it has planted in Mexico is traced distinctly enough, I am confident that my government will learn with satisfaction that France, which was one of the first powers to hold up slavery to the execrationof human ity, repudiates any responsibility on the subject of the attempt (made nevertheless tinder the protection of its flag) to revive that institution in the country which has stigmatized and abolished it. I take the opportunity, iltc. JOHN BIGELOW. Drouyn de I:buys to the Marquis De Montholon, Minister of France at Wash. ington. PA.RIS, Jan. 25.—The United States Minis ter desired that I should acknowledge in writing the communication he made me of the Attorney General's letter to Mr. Seward. I have, therefore, acknowledged the receipt of it. I might easily have dis cussed Mr. Bigelow's reply, but did not think it necessary. I have merely noticed two points in verbal explanations with him. I told Mr. Bigelow that I could not accept • his expression "planned" as applicable to the partlplayed by the French Government in Mexico. He well knows the reasons - which led us to interfere, and also that the Mexicaii people themselves have chosen 6 their new institutions. I also told him that inasmuch as I had declined any discussion with him as to the acts of the Emperor Maximilian, he was not justified in attri buting to me the expression of any opinion on the subject. I added that if he wished, however, to know my opinion, I did not think the measures of the Emperor Maxi milian so severely incriminated had the character or • object attributed to them. I think Wright to let you know how this in cident terminated. Receive, dcc. DROUYN DE LHITYS. Drouixt Ide Lhuys to the Marquis de Inontholen. Piiti4„ Jan. 25.—The American journals bring extracts of diplomatic publications in.which conversations which I had with Mr. Bigelow are related. 'Our observations bore especially upon the decrees of the Mexican government relative to the admis sion of negroes as colonists and the Iturbide family. I have not before me the official - text of the American documents, and it is therefore under the reservation of the ulte ik rior reflections which they may suggest that I deem it expedient to define the sense of the explanations to which the questions I have just mentioned have given rise be tween Mr. Bigelow and myself. These ex planations are besides stated in the despatch - which I had the honor to address to you on the 29th of November last, and I shall con fine myself, in my reference thereto, to re .. viewing that part of the despatch relative - to these questions. When the United States Minister came to acquaint me with the opinions of the Wash ington cabinet, I had to state that I de clined all official controversy upon the acts of a foreign government acting with fall I independence, and, that could only receive as simple information any communisations he might wish to make on the subject. It would not become us, in:fact, to accept • the responsibility for resolutions emanating from the free initiate of the Mexican govern ment. To admit such a discussion would justify its being said, contrary to all our declarations and the attitude we have rigor - taisly observed that we consider ourselves • invested in Mexico with .sovereign rights. Now, the support we afford to the Emperor Biamilian and the Mexican nation is precisely intended to aid • them to constitute according to their wishes, an independent power responsible for its acts. This observation very clearly established, I observed to Mr. Bigelow in the course of ordinary conversation that the measures pointed out by him were of 'a purely administrative order, and did not appear to me to constitute any of those ex . ceptional derogations from general princi ples which may sometimes perhaps autho• ,size a government to intervene in the into , nor affair's of a neighboring country. Every State regulates, as= it thinks fit, the admis sion of emigrants upon its territory, whether black or white, and the conditions of the colonization of its - soil: It is evident that tbesS conditions offered to strangers, only apply to the persons who have freely ac . cepted them. So also the, Mexican govern- ment has only exercised a right in contestably belonging to it in declaring that in 'its eyescivil war no longer existed on its territory, and, ceasing to recognize in wandering [bands the char acter of belligerents, it has promulgated against them the severe penalties wnich have been applied in every country for the suppression of brigandage. Still less, in my opinion, can it be questioned respecting an act assigning in the State a particular rank tola particular family. In any case the effect of these measures did not go beyond the Mexican frontiers; and did not therefore appear to me to constitute any grievance of which aforeigngovernment could complain. If, however, an opposite opinion should be entertained at Washington, I can under stand that some uncertainty might be felt as to the means of causing thereclamations, it might be thought proper to draw up, to reach the right quarter. But, definitely, be cause it does not snit the Federal govern ment to recognize the de facto government of the Emperor Maximilian as existing by right ; and as, upon the other hand,itwould .seem to be ridiculous to address itself to the power it considers as legal, but which has in fact disappeared, I could not admit as a consequence that there was ground for fund ing• fault with us to escape embarrassment, and for demanding at our hands explana tions of acts emanating from the sovereign authority of a foreign goverment. Receive, &c., DRotryx DE LIIITYS. enrir B THE WATER, DEPARTMENT.— The Chief Engineer of the Water Department sent his annual report to City Councils yesterday. The total amount of water supplied during 1865 was 11,050,569,184 gallons, or 1,743,561,305 greater than in 1864. The 30- inch main laid in Poplar street has enabled the Department to furnish an additional amount of about 2,000,000 of gallons per day to the district lying north or it. The combined pumping capacity of all the works is 36,000,000 gallons per day, while the average supplied in June, July and August was greater. Daring the past year 9,005 feet of water pipe was laid in the first District; 8,283 in the Second, 15,658 feet in the Third, and 15,390 in the Fourth District, being a total of 46,994 feet, or 88 miles. Of the whole number of feet, 28,458 was six inches in diameter. The total pipe laid in the city amouts to 372 miles. The cost of pipe, labor, &c., was $2 11§ per foot. The entire receipts during the year for rents, amounted to $562,454 64, and the ex penditures, exclusive of appropriations for the extension of the works, to $284, 26 8 63. The • total amount expended during the year from the loan for extending the works was $183,074 95. PHILADELPHIA: AND BALTIMORE CEN TRAL RAILROAD.—The annual report of this Company shows that the receipts of the past year amounted to $138,444 98, and the expenses, inc'uding about $lO,OOO for new cars and about $lO,OOO for the use of cars 'and engines of previous years were $116,- 190 51, leaving .A 254 47 as the earnings. This balance, as well as $17,500 received from the State of Maryland, and also $41,418 99, the surplus earnings of previous years, have been expended in extending the road from Oxford to the Rising Sun, In Maryland, a distance of about 8 miles. The work of extending was commenced in 1864, and is now about completed and ready for use. The Directors propose to extend the road to the Susquehanna and beyond, so as to carry out the original design as fast as they can obtain the means to do so. Much will depend, however, upon the co-opera tion of the stockholders and bondholders, as well turof the people on the line of the road. The road has been operated the last year with great regularity, and entire freedom from accident, and mach credit is due to Mr. Henry Wood, the Superintendent, and his subordinates.

A SHELL AND A SELL.—During the fes tivitits of Christmas a large cake of very rich appear slice was sent by some unknown person to General de ILantcuffeL Prussian Governor of Schleswig. The gift was received with great pleasure by the Governor's family, and one evening it was placed oh the table with no little ceremony. But on cutting it, the tempting in side was found to be merely a shell, containing num erous copies ofjournals prohibited in Schleswig by or der of the General. This was a bad sell on the General.

R'IiTTMAN, THE NEW RAILROAD.—The new railroad which is to be constructed from the junction of the Raritan and Delaware Bay road,with that of the Camden and Atlantic to Penns grove on the Delaware river, a charter for which has just been passed by the New Jersey Legislature, will be commenced at an early day in the spring. The citizens along the line appear to be highly delighted with the enterprise, and are liberally sub scribing to it. It is estimated that it will cost about $lB,OOO per mile to construct it, and the distance is some thirty-fixe miles. which will make the sum 0f'556(1,000, ex clusive of .rolling stock. It will cost when put in complete running and working order, including depots, side tracks, and other necessary accommodations, about one million of dollars. The advantages, how ever, which will be derived from the road to the agricultural interests of the country will be incalenlable. BOLD THEFT.—A day or two since some daring thief entered the office of R. Genet Tayltir, M. D., on Market street, and stole therefrom several articles of clothing of value, and other thing; jewelry, ttc. The robber made a successful escape, although he effected the larceny in open day, during the temporary absence of the doctor. These robberies have again become so frequent and daring that the' inhabitants should be on their guard against the villains. A few nights since the residence of the Rev. Mr. Michelon, on Broad street, was also entered by boring out a panel in a back door, and coats, hats and books piled up ready to be carried away, but the thieves became frightened and had to decamp without their booty. MUNICIPAL INDEETEDNESS.—The present indebtedness of the City of Camden is $207,000, and,notwithstanding the enormous rate of taxation, this amount is increasing from year to year at a fearful rate. The proposition to purchase the Camden water works will add $OO,OOO more to this debt, making it over a half million of dollars. It will require the wisest and most economical municipal legislation to cause a reduction of this indebtedness, for the income of the city does not at present pay more than the interest on the debt and the necessary ex penditures. CARRIED AWAY.—A night or two since a new pier recently erected below the Raighn's Point Ferry wharves was carried away by the heavy masses of ice that floated down the river. $1.1.,62 THE CHESTNIIT.—"ffenry Dunbar" will be presented this evening and at the matinee and the night performance to-morrow.

The closing piece will be "Jonathan Bradford." Of course there will be a huge house. Kris. WALLER'S BENEFIT.-At the Arch this evening. Mr Waller appears in "Ham let" and "Guy Mannering." Her Hamlet and Meg Merrilies are two of her finest characters, as much superior to her Naomi as can be imagined.

Clinics, of the Philadelphia Hospital— WEDNESDAY, Feb, 14,1866.—1 n our brief notice, necessarily so for want of space, in our review of the clinic of Saturday last, illustrating the Laryngoscope, we said nothing of the manipulation of the instru ment. One other, very interesting, on its history and use was delivered, early last December, pending a nitric of Dr. J. L Ladlow, none of whose lectures we have re ported, his term having expired before we commenced our series. The lecturer was Dr. Ephraim Cutter, of Woburn, Mass. We give his own words in speaking of the art of Laryngoscopy. "You will at first find," said Dr. Cutter, addressing the pupils, "great inconven iences ' arising from the inability of the patient to keep his tongue protruded, and of allowing the laryng . eal mirror to remain quietly in the pharynx. This may be over come by having the patient apply his finger, or some other smooth body, to the posterior portion of the throat occasionally during the twenty-four hours. In a little while the palate becomes accusomed to the feeling, and will allow any smooth substance to re main within without causing spasmodic attemptsatremovaL The observer should be seated directly in front of the patient, with the artificial light at the patient's side, and level with the eye. Now seize hold of the patient's tongue gently, but firmly, with the thumb and fingers, covered by a nap kin, and having placed the small laryngeal mirror in position, that is, in the latices, with the posterior portion of the mirror resting on the uvula, at an angle varying according to circumstances, endeavor to throw a disk of light from the reflected irror, which is placed in front of the pa tient at a distance of about twelve inches, upon the laryngeal mirror, and you will have reflected the vocal chords and all the surrounding parts. The small mirror should be warmed a very little before being placed in the mouth, to prevent the con densation on its surface of the moisture in the breath." Laryngoscopy, it will be seen, is a very delicate operation. We will now proceed ith the clinics of the week. MEDICAL CLINIC, ALFRED STILLS, M. D.—The first case presented by the lecturer, Was one of Thrombus in the Saphena v'-in. Thrombus is defined by Dr. Robley Dunglinson, in his admirable "Dictionary t.f Medical Science," as "a small, hard, r and, bluish tumor, formed by the effusion of blood in the vicinity of a vein which has been opened in the operation of blood letting." The saphena is one of the veins of the leg, which, of course, had never been touched by a lan cet. Dr. Stille took occasion to speak on the new theory, as regards phlebitis, which is defined as "the inflammation of the inte rior lining of a vein," of the entire absence of such inflammation. He said that no such thing really exists—that thrombus was most probably the result of obstructions in the viens, by which means a "clot" was formed, producing the disease, The man exhibited had been suffering from severe pleura pneumonia, and possibly some matter that had arisen in the pleura or lungs had been carried through the veins, and resulted in the thickening of the blood-vessels. The vein, in all these cases, becomes hardened, and resembles a cord. All that could be done for the patient was the application of gentle stimulating liniments and anodyne applications. The lecturer next spoke of a case of heart disease, which had been shown to the class some time previous, the subject of which had died the day before. He exhibited the heart, spleen and liver of the subject, showing the abnormal conditions of the several organs. The immediate cause of the man's death was drinking immoderately of ice-water, which obstructed the circulation, giving a sudden shock to the system, para lyzing the action of the heart, and resulting in death. The heart was very much larger than in a normal state, exhibiting clots in both of its sides. The semi-lunar valves showed marked signs of disease in forma tions of a soft, warty growth of recent date. The spleen was immensely enlarged, as was also the liver. The heart, too, was , encum bered with fatty deposits. All of these or gans had an unusual and unnatural pallor. differing greatly from their usual high color in a healthy condition. SURGICAL CLINIC, R. J. LEVIS, M. D.— In this Department two very interesting o-erations were performed. The first one vas one of cancerous formation in the groin, extensively involving the lymphatic glands. The tumour was nearly as large as a man's tist, and was removed with very little loss of blood, the arteries being tied up as the operation proceeded. Some of the glands were very much enlarged from disease, and, severanwere removed in close proximity to then femoral artery. The operation was conducted while the patient was under the influence of antesthesia, induced by ether, and was very successfully performed. The second case was one of amputation of the hand above the wrist joint. The patient was laboring under Epithelial cancer of that member in its posterior portion. The !sub ject was considerably advanced in years. anfeelthesia was endeavored to be produced by the use of the nitrous oxide gas, but he could not be made to inhale it properly, and ether was substituted with the desired re sult. This was also a success. The patient, who suffered amputation of the leg at the knee joint some days before was now introduced to the classes, for the purpose of observing the healing progress. He was doing well, with the prospect of an early recovery. This concluded the morning's business. The patient operated upon last week, for ligature of auxiliary artery, is in a fair way of recovery. From the Pacific. Sex Fitexcisco, Feb. 15.—Advices from Honolulu to the 27th ult. have been re ceived. The United States War ship Lancaster was still there. Her officers were being exten sively feted by the, authorities. The Victoria Chronicle announces the total loss of the American bark Mustang on January 21st. She left San Francisco on the 14th. Sex FRANCISCO; Feb. 15.—The steamers America and Nicaragua have arriqed, bringing passengers, r&c., from New York. The Moses Taylor, ,r!of the San Francisco line, has sailed for San Juan. A despatch from ;''ortland, Oregon, says the steamer. Pacific had sailed for this' port with $1,40,000 in tretuijure. Navigation is not yet 'open between the Dallas and-Unadilla. The merchants of this city held a meeting last night to adopt measures to secure the Mcattinsi . trade, claiming five - of the big routes from this side. - , Mining stocks are again stronger. Ophir, $245; Chollar Potosi, $303; Yellow Jacket, $380; Alpha, $255;. Hale and Norcross, $985 Crown Point, $900; Gbuld and Curry, $1,060; Imperial, 431; Legal Tenders, 72i.

FORTRESS Mormon, Feb.l4.—The Norfolk and Portsmouth Ferry was y esterday turned over to its'owi era by Brevet Colonel A. P. Blunt, A. Q. M., with the proviso that all Government work, such as the carrying of freight, officers, &c., between the two places is to be done free of charge. This ferry has bean in Government bands since the eva cuation of Norfolk, and has been a source of great expense, the receipts falling short of the necessary expenditures. The two ferry boats have been kept in good repair by the Government, and the entire ferry is in better' running order than when first taken, some three and a half years ago: The steamer Lady Lang, for a long time past under Government charter, has been discharged from the service, and proceeds to New York to-morrow. The steamer G. O. Pierce is now the only chartered steamer in this Department, and will, in a few days, be discharged from the service. The propeller of the rebel ram Merrimac was weighed at the Norfolk Navy Yard yes terday. It consisted of two flanges and barrels, and netted nineteen thousand four hundred and eighty pounds. The tug Brandt sailed last night for Wil mington,N. C. The schooner J. H. Cator, of Norfollt,was wrecked last Saturday onjliatteras, and the captain and all her crew, eight in number, were lost. The schooner was sent to that vicinity for the purpose of saving cotton from the steamer Richmond, wrecked there, it will be remembered, some weeks ago. THE Indianapolis, Ind., Herald says: The winter is, so far, favorable to the country. We do not think the wheat is injured much. Stock is doing finely—much better than last winter. The roads favor the hauling of wood to market and logs to the sawmills, and labor is abundant for the accomplish ment of whatever is desirable in the farmer's line. We think lumber and labor, and pos sibly produce, will be lower next year than this, unless a foreign market shall be opened to us.
