With regard to Tilnco Bismarck's supposed
change of policy and return to tho Conservative
camp, the writer of “Pro Nihlio " proceeds to
car midi an event is far from being improbable.
Many quite recent facts have been adduced In its
fa.or. Among other things wo learn that, in a
conversation with certain leading Conservative*,
the i'ruico expressed himself in very tiignliicant
terms, the reveron of complimontarr. with te
gard to tho Liberal Deputy Lasker, and it is
mrihcimore nflirmed that tho recant onslaught
made upon that genllotran by Prince Puttma
and his fricuds through the medium of tho
1 ress was at tho instigation of tho Chancellor
LiiiHclf, who is reported, moreover, to havolna
rr.vato conversation latelv condemned his own
Church policy as an act of folly (n/ic l/tornl).
Put, admitting tbs probability of such aeon
vervinn on tho Prince’s part. Count Artiim's
spokesman argues tbnt tho limo has gone by
when such an alliance could have been desirable
or oven possible. Having lost nil for which it
contended In h ? v-gouo times, tho Conservative
party, or what remains of it, has otdv one task
left lor it to accomplish, only one object toward
which its cfTcrui can henceforth be directed, to-
wit, political freedom ; mid to expect to attain
Lins end with tho help of n Bismarck would bo
dicer madness.

THE TEXAS BORDER TROUBLES.

fptanl IXspa'eh to Th* Cliicnqr' Tntmne,
Wajuunoton, D. C.. Doc. R.~ J. W. Foster,
our Minister to Mexico, is bcro, and has had a
long consultation witn tho President and Mr.
Fish over tbo Mexican question, it is known
that it will receive lengthy attention in the
President’s message to-morrow. The following
statement sols/oith tho present situation: In
Juno laet, Foster had a long conversation with
Lafragaa, Mexican Foreign Minister, in relation
to thoso border troubles, in which the whole sub
ject was discussed at some length. Poster re
ferred to tho assurances ho bad previously re
ceived of tho disposition of tho Mexican Gov
ern mem to repress tho trouble* on tbo Itio
Qrando border,hnt said that these assurances wore
not eufDcient, in view of tho fact that maraud
iiigs from Mexican teiritory continued frequent,
bold, and destructive, and caused much public
excitement in Texan, and that it wan expected
that moro oncigatio measures would bn nsod by
the Mexican audiotities. Lafrngua replied that
his (iov( roment bad dune all that it could on
tho border, whore tho evil was common to both
sides, and that raids occurred from Texas into
Mexico as well. Foster thou gavo him a decima
tion received from Mr. Fish that no Incursions
hod been made into Mexican territory from
Texas, und tbat proof « as challenged to tho con
trary. Lafragaa said that tho border troubles
had been much diecupsod by tho Mexican
President and his Cabinet, ami that it
was apparently impossible to supprcea tho evil
absolutely, that all that could bo cxpcoiod was
to restrain and diminish it sa much as possible. I
Tho reasons why Mexico was unable to maintain I
peuco aud restrain raids from Mexico into Texas, 1
wero, first, troops could not bo aout to that quar- |
ter without fear of dosortlena 5 second, tho in- i
tornal troubles of tho country rendered it im
possible ; and. third, in tho stale of the National
Treasury a mdil.-ientiy largo force could not ho
maintained on tbo Dio Grande. Mr. Foster thou
said that bo huh authorised to assure Lafragim
(bat the Government of tho United Staton had
no Information of any design of acquiring an
extension of territory on tbat frontier, but
tbo Qovoroor and citizens of Texas were
olomoroua in their demands upon the Federal
Government for protection, and that the public
proas in the United States, in reporting tlieno
frequent Incursions aud<J"prodations. was creat
ing a strong public sentiment in favor of an ag
gressions! aud vigorous policy on tbo part of tho
Government. Tho acknowledgment of tho
Inability of his Government to restrain tho law
lessness of its own citizens, os jost made by him,
would afford tbo strongest possible argument t->
thoso advocating tbo acquisition of territory.
Lafragua said the adoption of any such policy
would bo a greater evil than tbo proeont trouble*),
Mr. Foster replied tbat. however much both
Governments mightjegrot it. in tbo ligbtof such
facts, with the continuance of tho raids, the
spirit of territorial acquisition could not (til to
increase. Foster then suggested that permis
sion ho given regular troops of tbo United titaiea
to follow the raiders across tbo border when in
close pursuit, or, what would ho stiil mure ef
ficacious, permission to temporarily occupy cer
tain points on tho Mexican sido where tho
raidors wero iccnatomod to cross tho river. La
fragua said tho Executive had no power to grant
such permission without tho consent of Con
gress, and that it would not ho prudent to ask
for this consent j tho sentiment of the country
would not approve it. From this conversation
it will bo seen how dillicult of solution the
Mexican question is.

but this was attributed to bis poor health, and
no notice was taken of it.

the diffsience. Ills aborted ibis morning that
