The Mexican question. --The Paris correspondent of the London Times thus writes of the present aspect of the Mexican question: A Spanish Ministerial paper, the Correspondents, of Madrid, says it is authorized to announce that the Government has no intention of concluding a fresh treaty with France on the affairs of Mexico, but it adds it is quite possible the Cabinets of Paris, London and Madrid will concert together with a view of making certain clauses of the convention more explicMadrid will concert together with a view of making certain clauses of the convention more explicit. This last sentence is explained by the fact that the Spanish Government has intimated to the French that it would have no objection to a conference for the purpose of removing any obscurity in the present , and the French Government has declined the proposal on the ground that it was not necessary. Admiral Jurien dela Graviere has not only been instructed to confine himself to his duties as commander of the squadron, but has been informed, in (I believe) a non-official letter, that if he t

irst instance, and the great battle of Wagram in the second--both fought after Vienna had been taken — that put a period to the struggle. The French occupied Berlin, in 1806, but that did not settle the contest. The Prussian monarchy had already been crushed on the field of John, and the capture of Vienna had no influence on the campaign. What put the finishing stroke to the war was the battle of Friedland, fought in Poland eight months after Berlin had been entered. The French not only Madrid, but established a King of their own upon the Spanish throne; yet Spain was not conquered, and the Bonaparte are not Kings of Spain. The French, again, entered Moscow, but they did not exactly conquer Re . The capture of cities, towns, even the largest capitals, has no effect upon the issue of an attempt to subjugate a people.

ister. If it is correct, Florida will be proud of her aged mother, and the Confederate States will stand rebuked for having neglected Spain so long. The Quincy (Fla.) Dispatch also alludes to the rumor, as follows: This Captain passed through here a few days since, and had in his possession a Cadis (Spain) paper of a recent date, in which it was stated that our independence had been recognized by the Spanish Government. That our Commissioner, Mr. Rost, was officially received at Madrid as the representative of the Confederate States Government, and that a Commissioner had been accrodited to our Government, and was now on his way hither. While we have very little faith in the continual reports of European recognition that come to us from various sources, we may state that the impression gains ground at the North that the Government at Washington is in possession of information which it is thought may possibly lead to a cessation of hostilities for the present.

Henningsen's instruction in the management of his forces. He was perfectly successful, the Foreign Legion was beaten back on san Sebastian, and their leader severely wounded. Subsequently he held a command in the expedition that marched on Madrid from Aragon and Castile. After the battle of VI.-la-de-los-Navarro he was assigned to the command of the cavalry.

Seventeen times that day did he lead his men to the charge, before he succeeded in breaking the ranks of the enemy. Once broken they were routed, and he pursued them to the very gateway of the Spanish Capital.

His next service was in Circassia, where he spent several campaigns in the service of Russia, and compiled a report on the Caucasian counties, which was published as a public document by the Russian Gover

ke place, without the slightest jealousy or ill will, and that we shall rejoice in its success. To Mexico itself a French occupation would be an almost unmixed benefit. A prayer from Cuba for protection from America.[from the Paris Patric, may 17.] The principal inhabitants of Havana have addressed a petition to the Queen of Spain, in which they pray that the Spanish troops may continue to act in accord with the French in the question of Mexico. They point out in the document that it is for the interest of the colony that a strong and stable government should be established in Mexico, in order to prevent that country from falling into the hands of the Americans who would make it the basis of their operations for hereafter gaining possession of the Antilles, and particularly of Havana. Marshal Serrano, it is said, supports the prayer of the petitioners.--An aid-do-camp of the Marshal has arrived in Europe, from Havana, on his way to Madrid, charged with a special mission.

"Confederate Documents." --The Lincolnites who control affairs at Washington profess to be in possession of a number of "important Confederate documents," among which is one from Judge Rost (dated March 21) to Hon. R. M. T. Hunter, giving a long account of an interview with the Spanish Secretary of Foreign Affairs at Madrid, which concludes as follows: "This is the substance of what may be considered of some importance in a long and cordial interview. I infer from it that this Government will not act separately from England and France. Owing to the enormous preparations made by the North to subjugate us, I believe that nothing is now to be exacted from any of them until the Northern Government is ready to treat with us as an independent power. If it be so, and the war is to last many years, at the President intimates in his inaugural, it will be for him to determine whether it is consistent with our dignity to keep longer abroad commissioners whom he knows are under no ci
