The Paris correspondent of The Times affirms that Senor Eloin
has been sent to Paris to convince the Emperor that Juarez will obtain assistance from the Union, and to prove that in the event of that assistance being granted it will be impossible for Maximilian to retain his position. The Emperor of the French has therefore informed Mr. Bigelow that Mexico is under the protection of France, that filibusters will be hanged whenever -caught, and that any attack on Mexico will be considered an attack on France. This is the story, but it requires confirmation very much. The Emperor has been nearly a month away from Paris, Senor Eloin has not seen him yet, and only yesterday Le Mediteur published a letter from the President declaring that the Union warmly reciprocated the friendship and affection of France. It is true that the Mexican Emperor is alarmed, but Napoleon is not given to use menaces until they are required. We very much question, from all we can learn, whether the Wash- ington Cabinet has any present intention of interfering in Mexico.
