A New York telegram of the 23d, says: The statement made on the 10th that the French Government had complained to the Custom authorities against five steamers and sundry persons, the former designing to transport arms, &c., to Mexico, is substantially correct. An abstract of a letter from an official, states that a clearance was refused a steamer until she was examined by Collector King. the collector giving a reason for this course, that he had received reports of several vessels in port said to be preparing for illicit purposes against the French and British commerce.
Gen. Logan has been appointed Minister to the Republic of Mexico.— This does not look like a speedy recognition of the "Empire" A Washington dispatch of November 14th, says:—
The rumor received by the steamer which arrived at New York yesterday, regarding the probable early removal of the French troops from Mexico, will be found correct, on one condition, namely, that this Government will guarantee that Maximilian shall not be disturbed in his present position, but that he will be left to carry out his plans for the establishment of an Empire on a durable basis."
