LEGATION OF TUE UNITED STATES, PAKIS, February 19, 1SG7. Hon. Wm. If. Seward, Sec'u of State. Sut: I enclose a translation of tho report of the annual exposition of the condition of tho French Empire, presented by the Government to the Senate and Corps L?gislatif, relating to the United ?abites and Mexico. The expression of good feeling in respect to the former, and the uncon? ditional abandonment of the latter, aro the true index of the more gene? ral feeling which exists hero on both subjects. The paragraphs referred to will he found on pages 302 and 303 of the "Expose," which I will send you in tho despatch bag on Fri? day. It is too bulky for the mail. I am, very respcctfullv, your obedient servant, JOHN A. DIX. In the United States, tho work of constitutional icconstruction conti? nues. France sincerely applauds the wonderful activity with which that great nation is repairing the calami? ties of civil war. In the condition of the relations which exist between the different countries of the globe, thc sufferings which are produced at one point are necessarily felt at all others. \Ye have experieueed the shock of events which have disturbed tho Union, and we aro profiting by the renewal of its industry and commer? cial energies. No subject of dis? agreement exists at this moment be? tween the two countries. On the contrary, everything is contributing more and more to bring thom nearer to each other in their policy. His Majesty has received, on a recent occasion, the assurance of sentiments of f?jtdship which were expressed to him in the name of the United States, and which correspond per? fectly with our own feelings. We take pleasure in auguring favorably ai to the future relations of the two Governments in respect to thc differ? ent questions on which their interests may bc found to coincide. We need not recur at this time to the necessity which caused us to undertake the expedition to Mexico. We sought tin; redress of grievances of every description and denials of justice, from which our people had suffered for rnan\r years, and ani? mated by thc generous sentiment which will always induce France to render lier intervention useful wher? ever she shall be led to carry her j arms. We did not refuse to unite in an attempt at regeneration by which all interests would have profited. But, in lending its co-operation to this work, the Government of the Emperor liad beforehand assigned a limit to its sacrifices, and the Empe? ror hud fixed thc end of the present year as the extreme term of our mili? tary occupation. The evacuation was to have been made in throe detach? ments-thc first leaving in tho mouth of November, 1866; t iie second in March, and tho third in November, 1867. These arrangements, conform? able to our previo.is intentions, liad been uncle in tho fullness of our libort}' of action, and anything which had partaken ol' the nature of exter? nal pressure.could only have placed ns in tho position, in spite of our? selves, of prolonging a state ol' things which we wished to abridge, lieasous arising out of our military situation determined tho Emperor to modify the first arrangement by sub? stituting for a partial evacuation, at succeeding periods of time, tho simultaneous transportation home of our whole corps d'arm?e in the spring of tin; present year. These measures aro now in the course of execution, and in tho course of March next our troops will have loft Mexico. Far from desiring to free itself from engagements which it had con? tracted on irs own account, and which it bas publicly announced, thu Go? vernment of the Emperor will thus hasten their fulfillment. It is reported that the "wator" of an artesian well at Corpus Christi, Texas, which the people of that place have been using for various disorders, turns out to-be pure kerosene oil. Kceon Kt ruction or Confiscation? Tho Southern people must now choose between tho Sherman pinn of reconstruction and the Stevens plan of confiscation. That is the plain, practical issue. There is no chance for evasion-no alternative hut to submit to one or tho other. Stevens and his ultra satellii is arc anxious to press a bill through Congress, pro? viding for the confiscation of all pro? perty held by ex-rebels, and they will make tho attempt as soon as a favorable opportunity is presented. Confiscation is now the groat issue of thc ultraists in Congress. Their leader holds that thc property of thc rebels should bo divided among the freedmen, and his sentiments in tins respect aro endorsed by a much largor class of Congressmen than thc Southern people imagine, lt was this object that led Stevens an-i his faction to oppose the Sherman bill. They aro shrewd enough to soo that radicalism is rapidly marching on, from ono step to another, and that it has but little further to go iu order to roach the goal of confiscation. In less than a year it has passed from the simple requirements of the con? stitutional amendment to negro suf? frage, obliteration of State Govern? ments and supremacy of martial law. Thc same rate of progress would bring it to the confiscation point within another year, and hence thc ultraists aro anxious to provont the completion of reconstruction until their final object shall bo obtained. The consummation of a scheme to take away thc property of thc ex rebels naturally seems Uko a stop be? yond even tho roach of radicalism, but it is no more improbable now than was the present policy of the radicals one year ago. Any one who will calmly reflect upon thc progress of the party within thc past year, must bc convinced that confiscation is not unlikely. Tho ou]y thing requisite to bring it about is a refusal of tho South to accept the terms of re-or? ganization that arc now offered. | When thc Southern States refused to ratify the constitutional amendment, I the radicals declared that their re- , fusal was the result of hatred toward the Government, and that it clearly showed the existence ot latent rebel? lion. Upon that hypothesis, they proceeded to impose harsher condi? tions, in order to quench the smoul? dering fire of rebellion, and the ac? tion of the last Congress is tho con? sequence. If tho Southern people i now refuse to accept tho now proposi- j tion, their conduct will again bc I pointed to by Stevens and his party to provo that thc fire of rebellion has I not yet been drowned out. Confisca- j tion will then be held up as the only reliable extinguisher, and it will bc agitated and pressed until it goos through Congress and becomes a law? Wo have no doubt that this is tho programme of Stevens and his fac? tion, and hence wo hope the South? ern people will seo tho propriety of avoiding that danger and getting out of tho clutch of the ultraists, by re? organizing their Governments, and securing representation in Congress with the least possible delay.

Court of Louisiana, having rendered I x decision on Clio -1th inst., declaring] tho acts of tho Legislature of 1861, organized under the act of secession ! if the Stute, illegal and void, it was ? presumed upon the same ground, that the proceedings of the courts of tho State, during the same period, were also null and void. To test the question, Hon. Alfred [Tennen yesterday, made a motion be? fore the Supreme Court, to reinstate a -.ase upon the docket which had j ilready boon decided by the Supreme ; Doivrt of 1S61. The court took thc ? motion undo!- advisement. If such a decision wer<; tobo main- j rained, it would not only unsettle tho : jurisprudence of our State, bat there won ld be ao title to millions and ' millions ol* property which luis been ; passed upon by the courts. Wo are enabled to state, however, ?xtra-judicially, that our people may ? not have apprehensions on this sub- j ?oct, that the question has .already been decided by the present Snpreme ; Court, in tho case of Cannon vs. White, at the November term of 186-3, j in which the court Iben hold that the ordinal)co of secession being an ibsolute nullity, produced no legal affect, and consequently the Supreme Court was not affected or changed by it* passage.-Neic Orleans Picayune. -^ ? ? - MEMTHIS.-General Howard has arderedBeaumont, chief of tho Mem ph. police, to be prosecuted for arresting negroes and employing them to planters for stipulated sums.

It is like say i ing that an article which tho world needs should be hid in a corner-that benefits and blessings may he too widely diffused that thc means of protecting ami restoring health should be a close monopoly, and not accessible to all. Tho argument is j bad. It is worse than that- it is inhuman. Suppose HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT? TERS -an absolute specific for dyspepsia, biliousness anet nervous debility had never been known beyond the repertoire of t in- faculty, what would have been thc con? sequence? Instead of curing and invigo? rating millions, the good effects of thc preparation would have been confined to a comparativo few. There is tho highest authority for saying that light should not be hid under a bushel; that whatever is excellent should be placed as a city on a [Bill, where all men can take cognizance of it. It is upon this principle that thc BIT? TERS have been advertised in every news? paper of any prominenc- in tho Western j Hemisphere, and that 'ho spontaneous ' testimonials in its favor have been trans? lated into all written languages. Thou I sands enjoy perfect health to-day who would be languishing on beds of sickness if the newspapers had not spread the truth with regard to this unequaled invigorant and corrective farand wide. Suppose pro tit has been reaped from this publicity. Ii that any argument against itv If the pub? lic health has been protected-if lives .' ave bein saved-if the feeble have been strengthened and the sick restored great good oas been accomplished; ami who si mean as to grudge to exertions tims direct? ed their fair reward?
