Emile sends him a "Times," the, only one which has reached there as yet. He received a letter today, from General Price and Gov. Harris from Mexico who writ e that, although they are concerned over the success of their representatives, still they have hopes since the Empress Carlotta has promised that, everything should be arranged. All the Confederates will have left the, City of Mexico Mexico in a few days. Those that do not remain there, are leaving for the United States and it makes Emile feel said to see, them leaving. He does not believe the Times is doing right to encourage, a great rush there at present. He cannot see how they will be provided, for with lands if they do come. He has received two American engineers, to push the survey of land in Cordova, Mexico and promises to do all, he can to provide for everyone. However, he fears that this will be, impossible for he has not enough land for those who are already there., Parsons and his party were hung. :: I-1-m A.L.S. 1p. 4to.
