Mr. GRIMES. It seems to me that the whole question is in a nutshell. Every gentleman who has visited France since this Exosition has been projected, has returned to this continent entertainin the opinion which he has always expresse, that this whole Exposition was got up more for the purpose of glorifying i the present Imperial Government of France than for any other purpose, and that it is for that reasdn that the younger Napoleon, the infant Napoleon, has been made the president of this Exposition. He is to occupy the prominent position, he is to be in the foreground in everythin that is to be done. Now, It Mr. President, for my own part, representing a portion of the valley of the Mississippi river, interested somewhatin the connections that this Government may sustain toward its neighbors, I am not quite disposed to assist 0! to be in any way instrumental in accomplishing the object of the Imperial Government of France in this particular at any time, and especially not so long as their troops shall remain within the territorial jurisdiction of the republic of Mexico troops, Mr. President, which would not have been sent there, as every body knows, but for the difficulties that were occurring in this country at that time. They were sent out to take a vantage of the unfor tunate posture of public affairs in this country. I hear that the French Government have lately professed to be willing to withdraw their troops; but I have not ct had that assurance thattiey will withdraw them that I wish to have before I will agree to a proriate or assist in appropriating several 100,000 dollars for this purpose. I trust the Senfrom Michigan understands fully the purpose that I have in view. I do not want to to e part in this Exhibition at all; I do not want to assist in elevating in public estimation in any part of the world the present dynasty in France so long as it shall stand really, morally, and militarily, in an an tagonistic position to this Government; and she does stand in that position so long as her troops remain in Mexico.
